Short post today, but I haven't updated this week and wanted to leave you with something.
So let me tell you...the more I learn Korean, the more interesting life becomes! Here's a cute story from yesterday during after school classes with grade 6. These are some of the lower level students, so we work on writing and reading in English, as well as understanding meaning. One word was "tonight." The students were trying to figure out what it meant in Korean. Some guessed the Korean words for "today," "tomorrow," and "yesterday," but no one was figuring out what the word was for "tonight." Then my CT broke it down to "to" and "night." At this, one boy shouts, "Night club?!" hahaha No, no...hahah, not night club. Then he starts in on talking about night club (all in Korean at this point). He says how he has been to a night club before. WHAT?!?! You're in sixth grade~~what are you talking about?!? But it's ok, he says, because he went with his dad one time. Which one? There were all girls there and not a lot of guys. One in a nearby "dong" (nearby area, of sorts). "But I didn't drink alcohol," he proclaims. Oh wow....so crazy and so cute and so funny. I love my job! <3 <3 <3
One more day of teaching (grade 4s today) and a teacher outing to Geumosan Mountain after lunch, and I am off to Seoul to visit my eonni, Daisy, attend Peter and Zoe's wedding (*^^*), and go to a Glen Check concert. Stay tuned next week for pictures and stories from the weekend (and from Wednesday's picnic and hiking adventure for Voting Day in Korea).
