Hi!!!
Last friday, Jeong (engineer student from Korea) and I, we meet for the first time in Pella’s bar. We stayed for about two hours and a half together.
First of all, I played the role of a Spanish teacher and I taught him some basic words in Spanish. Furthermore, I also told him some special things about the place where I live in Spain (the Basque Country). After an hour and a half I was the student. I learn some basics words in Korean.
안녕(annyeong) -> Hello, Hi
고마워(gomawo) -> Thank you
미안해(mianhae) -> Sorry
1: 일(il), 2: 이(i), 3: 삼(sam), 4: 사(sa), 5: 오(o), 6: 육(yuk), 7: 칠(chil), 8: 팔(pal), 9: 구(gu), 10: 십(sip)
I can firmly say that it’s a very difficult language to learn!!! Nevertheless, I strongly believe that it’s a beautiful language as it’s totally different from mine and this turns out to be a big challenge for me. But I love challenges!!! In addition to this, he told me some particularities about his country that I didn’t know and that resulted to be really interesting for me.
To sum up, I would like to finish by saying that in those two hours and a half I felt really satisfaced as it is always worth to met people from different countries and learning new things about their culture, language and so on. For this reason I’m looking forward to meet Jeong again and to learn more things about his language and culture!!
Hope to see you in the next post!!
