SDLC 110: Learning Journal #13

[Jinhoo Bong]

This week I wanted to learn Korean aspects that are not everyday basics, and so I decided to study the government a little bit. I used certain popular Korean websites that contain articles and blogs, and endless media resources about any aspect of the Korean culture. I typed in government, and learned the different terms that indicate the two parties of Korea. Bringing this to my meeting with my language partner, I was able to further understand some of the words that I initially didn't know, and learn about the Korean government history. This both advanced my reading skills, as I had to reread portions of the article and allowed me to learn a bit more about Korean culture in ways that I normally would not learn. This allowed me to approach my culture in a way that I had never been able to before, and it opened up a little bit more about Korea's history and culture.
