Being a Tourist
I've had two fun outings going around to some of the tourist spots with recent friends I've made in my classes at Yonsei. It's great to have some friends (of course!) and people to go around with. They are from France, Hong Kong and Japan - and all speak English perfectly! So did we practice Korean??? Well... a little! Not exactly immersion, but a good time. We walked around, saw palaces and traditionally-garbed Koreans and learned a lot of history and saw and heard some traditional music and dance performances - and best of all, I had someone to go to restaurants with (a real treat!) As I look at these pictures, I realize that in both these and earlier pictures, I have on the same shirt! I think I'd better go clothes shopping!

Hi Margaret, I looked up your blog address for Alice and began to read. It is fascinating. I think the new perspective you get is mind-expanding. I am not surprised how the language is being taught. I think it is even worse in China. Memorization must be a main mode of "learning" in much of Asia. Is it influenced by Confuscianism, I wonder.
ReplyDeleteI will read some more later. Hang in there!
