Learning Journal 3

[Kevin Kim]

After two weeks of the Bible, we moved on to the topic of sports. This was a breath of fresh air from two weeks of rigorous Bible reading in Korean. We worked on watching clips of sports and the commentary in Korean. Commentators talked very quickly so it was hard to pick up on what they were saying for most of the time. From this task, I was hoping to accomplish being able to understand the language used in sports in addition to the culture of sports in Korea. To build on what I have learned about sports, I watched more clips of basketball, volleyball, and even baseball with and without subtitles. I would often watch the same clip more than once to get a better understanding of what was said and why.
