- Reflect on the presentations of your classmates.
I really enjoyed learning about different aspects of culture and language from the target languages my peers are learning. I think for me, I personally really loved the other Korean learners because it gave me a new insight into the Korean culture which I didn't think about or wasn't aware of. So it was really awesome to just become acquainted with it. I also thought it was really interesting that everyone kind of took different approaches to the presentation. Someone did a linguistic and historical approach, another a business one, ASL in general has little representation, and social approaches to what is visibly seen in a community. I thought that diversity in all our presentations was really awesome. I also really loved Taylor's presentation. I only ever remember learning the alphabet and never encountering ASL again. I think it's a wonderful thing she's learning and her presentation really shed light on a community I am not familiar with. I felt that all of us were really able to learn from each other about our target language's society and norms. It's always so interesting to learn and talk about differences we see in a non-Western point of view.
