-For this week, we watched a movie called Inside Men (2016), a highly-acclaimed Korean political drama. This movie explores corruption in politics and corporations in Korea with dialogue that fits the current trend in Korea.
-While watching the film, I hoped to learn new vocabulary and observe how Koreans converse in formal settings using trendy words and phrases.
- I jotted down words and phrases that I did not understand. I was able to easily translate them on the spot because we watched the movie with English subtitles for support. In addition, the other student and I asked questions during the movie about certain things the characters did in the movie that were not typical in America.
-I definitely learned a lot of new words and familiarized myself with the interconnections between the governments, conglomerates, and the media in South Korea. I hope to utilize what I gained from watching this movie to hold intelligent conversations with Korean adults in the future.
