Today’s lesson was wonderful as always! We started with the recent movies in Korea and then went on to discuss the journal article about the 4.3 Incident in Jeju. It’s a long article with a lot of academic terms but sseam helped me a lot with her explanation. I feel so glad that I was able to engage in a conversation like I would in a Korean university seminar. Of course still a long way to go to achieve true proficiency but I’m sure with time I could reach that goal slowly, step by step.

Today we had another great discussion based on an academic journal article in Korean about the history of 1950s. It was an informative but challenging read but with sseam’s help it all becomes much clearer. I particularly appreciate sseam’s efforts to come up with a set of class notes after class each time. Thank you so much!

Today we had a great discussion again! First on the lunar new year traditions in Korea v Hong Kong, and then we went back to the historical tragedy in Yeosu, Suncheon in late 1940s. Not enough time indeed so we focused on the sentences in the reading that I found difficult and then further discussion for next lesson. Thank you so much!

Hyeongyoung's lessons are fantastic! I've had so much fun in her Korean Through Stories and Media lessons. She's kind, patient, and easy to talk to. I appreciate that she writes detailed feedback after each lesson so I can better understand the grammar and vocab I made mistakes with. Highly recommend!

Today we continued the discussion on the historical events in South Korea in late 1940s. In the beginning we had also an interesting short digression on our favourite Korean drama, My Liberation Notes. So glad that we share the same favourite!! Thanks a lot for the wonderful lesson.

Today we had a good discussion on the 4.3 incident in Jeju (based on a pamphlet sseam suggested) and compared that with similar incidents in East Asia. Sseam was engaging and patient as always and the whole hour passed by so quickly. Look forward to our next meeting!
