For the week before fall break, Kate and I learned vocabs and expressions about our rooms. We had a theme as a room tour, and we started by looking at some vocabs related to furniture and rooms, such as chairs and living room. We also learned some words that are used to describe the surface or the texture of furniture, such as smooth or sandy. After this, we watched a few clips of Korean room tour with both Korean subtitles. It was really fun to know more about how Koreans decorate their house while meeting new vocabs that we just learned.
This week, since it’s right after fall break, I mentioned that I want to learn more about Korean food. This is my Task 1 and 5, and we as a group love to discuss food together. We had a handout with words of food including different sauces, popular soups and stew, and Korean side dishes, etc. We have a printed-out recipe of kimchi jjigae in Korean from online, and we read through the steps and encountered more words such as spoons and cups. As we read through the recipe, we also got more familiar with the vocabs of food, so we started watching a Korean chief’s channel on YouTube. It turned out to be the same channel I talked about in my cultural post, but this time I watched it only with Korean subtitles. I could understand more than eighty percent of the video with a little help from Jenna. After this lesson, I know a lot more vocabs for Korean food as well as the differences between the soy sauces they use. I also know more kinds of Korean food and how Koreans like to have it by discussing with Jenna and Kate.
