Today's lesson consisted of reading an article in Korean and then discussing the topics in the article. I very much enjoyed this format because it not only allowed me to practice my reading but allowed me to engage with the material in Korean and formulate my own thoughts about it. As always, I especially appreciate that 은희 선생님 encourages and gives me the time to try to formulate my thoughts, even if it takes a few tries and a few pauses. It also made me think about a new topic I had never considered in this way before :) I never enjoyed literature class during school because I thought I already knew everything the text was telling me because I understood the words. But now, learning a new language, I am starting to see how important it is to spend a few more minutes trying to understand the intent of the author, not just the words. This discovery is only motivating me more to read an entire book in Korean one day! 선생님께서 이런 모티베이션을 해주셔서 너무 감사합니다!!
