Week 5 of Korean class was very fun! This week was Korean Thanksgiving or Chuseok. On this day Korean people celebrate the Fall harvest. Korean people also spend time with their families, eat delicious food and give thanks to their ancestors. Kids in Korea play games, have fun and eat candy. I have pictures of kids playing games on my Instagram (pmsblackqueen), Twitter (PMSBlackQueen) and Facebook (deshondat). Some of the kids looked very pretty as they were dressed in traditional Hanbok. We also made Songpyeon in Korean School. Songpyeon is a rice cake that is rolled into a ball and filled with sesame seeds, red beans, chestnuts or other ingredients then they are steamed. They were delicious! I posted pictures of them on my social media and took some home to steam myself. This was a fun time for me in Korean School. I love kids and I really enjoyed seeing all of the kids playing traditional Korean games.
Also on this week we had our first test on the flash cards we made the previous week. We were tested on writing our vocabulary words. So my teacher would say the word and we had to write it. I did study and I did OK, but I needed to study harder. I missed a few questions and I don't like to miss a lot on my tests. Next time I will improve.
Week 6 of Korean Class was another test of our vocabulary words. We learned a lot of words and the vocabulary was a bit more challenging, but it was not impossible. The main thing is to learn and get the alphabet and vowels down pat. When you are comfortable with that, then reading and writing comes pretty easy in my opinion. So same format as before, my teacher read the word and we had to write down what she said. We had a test on almost all of the words we learned so far.I must admit I missed a few, and that's OK. I won't beat myself up over it too much, but next time I will study hard and do my best. We learned today more vocabulary words which means more flash cards I will have to make to help me study from. The teacher in me loves flash cards and they really help me as I practice my writing and such. We also learned some Korean phrases during this week as well such as "To The Right", "To The Left", and "I'm Sorry." We learned about greetings and telling time also. I am learning a lot in Korean School and I really enjoy learning about Korean Culture as well. Next week we will learn some conversational Korean I believe and on Halloween we will be taking a field trip to a Korean BBQ restaurant here in my hometown! I am so looking forward to that because Korean food is so delicious! I will make sure to post a lot of picture s of my experience so stay tuned!
