I shared two interesting youtube videos for Diigo. One of them is a popular online program that two Englishmen went to Korea to explore Korean culture. They shared their unique local experiences to Londoners and asked them to join their adventure. It is a very interesting and enlightening program that presents the culture shock vividly, showing us how difficult and exciting it is to fit in a new culture. It is recommended from my Korean friend, and I have learnt a lot of Korean food culture and traditions from it. The other one is an interview to Korean people on what they think of foreigners who love Korean culture. It was interesting that most of them said that do not have much fantasy on Korean as their life is not like drama and they are not all as good-looking as idols. I love these two videos because they show us the daily life and opinions from normal Korean people, which is the most genuine and representative. I am expecting to see resources posted by other students, and I think it is a very good way to learn more about Korean cultures. Mango Languages provides us with different levels of learning tasks. It is awesome that I could hear the pronunciation and record my voice. According to the assessment I did, I need to listen to the video and speak out in order to learn a new language. Thus I think it would be very helpful for my self learning in the future.
As I mentioned, I have started to look for interesting videos and articles online to learn more about Korean cultures and I tend to pay more attention about what is happening now in Korean when I surfing the news. Also, I have started the Mango language, and am able to speak "thank you" "goodbye" "hello". I think I need to pay more attention on the tones and keep practising in the next following weeks.
