During week #9, Jimin and I talked about Korean history based off of a timeline that she created. It had the major historical events such as the different dynasties, the 6.25 Independence War, the different presidents who reigned, and the corresponding details for each event. It was particularly interesting for me because I have always been interested in Korean history due to how different it is from US history. We also researched more in-depth about certain events that I was especially interested in during our session, for I was interested in the Japanese regime in Korea.
During week #10, Jimin taught me about Korean writing and grammar. She first had me write a paragraph about a randomly chosen topic and then corrected it. Then, she proceeded to give me different variations of words that had the same or similar pronunciation. She also quizzed me on how to spell words that could have multiple spellings. It was motivating to see that I got most of the spelling right and also gained clarification on some spellings that I had always struggled with.
