Food has always been a big part of my life, especially among my family members. Korean cuisine is something I’ve grown up with, and I honestly cannot imagine myself without it even for a day. I wanted to know more about traditional Korean cuisine, but I need to know more Korean in order to do so since there are traditional Korean vocabularies used. There is a lot of history involved with this topic, since it has been around since ancient times, and I would also like to research the actual history of Korean cuisine on my own. There’s also a social aspect within the history, for people in different social classes ate different kinds of food. In order to fully understand this concept, I would need to include learning new vocabulary words in my learning plans.

Hi Jenna- This was a learning subject I had not yet considered! I would really like to learn more about traditional Maltese food too during my study of the language. I am going to take some time to research recipes and see if there are any social reflections within the types of meals Maltese families eat. Something that I predict about Maltese, is that the food will be very diverse because of the many influences the country has had over time.
