SDLC 110 Cultural Post #5

[Jessica Crouser]

The topic of my cultural project is going to be daily life of a young adult (college student or 20-something year old) in Korea. I want to focus on a lot of different aspects of Korean culture, and this way I can do that and through a lens through which I can compare Korean culture to my personal experience with American culture. My learning goals for this project are to learn the different areas of vocabulary and culture that a Korean person in university of recently in the workforce would know and use. This would include talking about school, jobs, transportation, work ethic, pop culture in younger generations, formality and colloquialism, relationships, and more. Since my overall goal with learning some Korean would be to help me get around if I were to go visit, hopefully this project and my goals around it would assist me in conversing with others my age. Since my topic is so broad, I won't be able to go too in depth with any of the specific areas of vocabulary or culture, but that's okay because I would rather build a breadth of knowledge to start out with this semester.
