I will be teaching someone how to say how often they do various activities. I will be asking them questions in English (ex: how often do you eat chocolate chip cookies, how often do you ride your bike, how often do you shower, how often do you study in the library, etc). I plan to ask around five questions.
I anticipate that the person I will teach is not a native Korean, so I plan to ask the questions in English and challenge them to answer with the following terms:
매일 (everyday) (meh-eel)
자주 (frequently) (jah-joo)
가끔 (occasionally) (gah-kkeum)
안 (never) (ahn)
To answer the question, you have to say (frequency) + 해요.
So if someone asked me how often I text my mom, I would answer: 자주해요
I think that it will be interesting to see the thought process of a non-Korean speaker turn a sentence they want to say from English to Korean. It will require them to think of the word in English, translate it into Korean, and add the appropriate ending.
