For this semester, I really learned a lot through the cooperation and communication with my language partner, Brenda, and my classmates as well during classes. It has been a very special experience for me to embrace myself with my classmates in various language settings and it is surprising to know that even every language sounds sharply different in some ways, they all have common features such as grammar, phonology as we learned throughout this semester. Therefore, I want to thank for the hard work of the professors and my classmates, it has been a unique opportunity to be able to work with you.
With my language partner, I also learned a lot, more specifically at my target language. I was able to familiarize myself with not only the formal structures of the language but, more deeply, the culture. Through the movie, Parasite, we discussed during one class, I was able to learn about the class differentiation in Korea and how different groups of people live under this circumstance. And at the end, I finally could communicate, not fluently, with Brenda in Korea as the dialogue in the recording shown. Even though unexpected situation happened and we couldn't hold normal class meetings for half of the semester, everyone looks still enthusiastic in language learning and it really gives me energy in doing so as well. After all, it has been a great semester and an honor for me to be in this class. I really learned a lot!
