The presentations were really good. I loved learning little nuances about the cultures whose languages we are studying. I think that offers a really unique perspective on the language and peoples' reactions and excitement towards what they are studying is encouraging and makes me feel a sense of pride in our abilities to learn new languages.
Specifically, for my classmates learning Turkish, I think we were able to offer them another insight into the culture and tradition behind the language, just as they offered us.
I really enjoyed the Korean presentations because Korean is a language with such a deep-rooted linguistic history and the Chinese contributions to the language are surprising in a way to me. I was surprised when I recognized some of the characters and they retained their meaning when they transferred from Chinese to Korean.
