Right now I am working on
- Preparing a presentation on South Korean fast food chain brands
- Continuing to practice reading and writing Hangul characters.
For the presentation, I wanted to research the history and cultural significance of major South Korean fast-food chains like McDonald's, Lotteria, and Popeyes. I also want to learn more vocabulary related. In terms of Hangul practice, I hoped to solidify my knowledge of consonant and vowel sounds, as well as improve my ability to read and write words and short phrases. I was able to have a productive conversation with my language partner about popular South Korean fast food chains. David provided helpful background information on the history and growth of these brands. He also offered insights into how they are viewed within Korean culture, and this is very helpful since I can get perspective that may never come to my own mind. We discussed vocabulary related to food, restaurants, and business, which will be useful for my presentation.
My language partner also encouraged me to continue practicing reading and writing Hangul, as he believes it is crucial for developing a strong foundation in the language. We reviewed some basic vocabularies and tried to integrate them into my presentation.
For the presentation research, I utilized a variety of online resources, including news articles, company websites, and cultural blogs. I also watched some YouTube videos that provided an overview of the South Korean fast food industry.I am looking forward to learning more about this cultural artifact as I research.
