Today , we did presentations on our target language cultures. I find it interesting that, although there are several students learning Korean, we did not have any topics in common, which definitely gave me a new insight on my target culture. There were plastic surgery, drinking culture, as well as the growing makeup market in our presentations in regards to South Korea’s cultures. Heather touched on several cultural aspects based on her past traveling experience this summer. The understanding of a culture can be traced to food, drinks and her daily observations, which have a distinct perspective of Korea’s culture. Other classmates also shared their understanding of their target languages from different fields such as history, business and drinking.
Overall, it is good to know about how my classmates reflect on their target language culture from many aspects. I can also learn from their tactics and paths to build up and deepen my understanding of Korea’s cultures.
