How we graduated from our Korean language program

우리 가족, my latino family

So this is how we begun with our Korean studies on the 1st level

I can't believe that it's almost a year since I came to Korea. I have to say that it was amazing year, full of adventure and new experiences. I'm very happy living here in Korea, although I don't really know why. 😅

 

The coronavirus epidemy made our studies quite messy, but after one semester which we spent on YouTube and ZOOM, we couldn't be more happy to go back to school and start again with the offline classes. As a GKS student, I couldn't choose at which university I will be studying Korean, but I am so grateful that I was sent to Daegu University, because we had the funniest and best teachers.

The last classa on the 3rd level

I spent the whole year studying Korean language and I have to say that looking back - me coming to Korea knowing how to read very slowly and only few stupid phrases from Korean TV shows, I guess I learnt something. Now, I can say kind of everything I need in my everyday life and also I don't have problems while talking with a doctor or at the office. But I still have a long way to go - I need to learn the super formal Korean language, or the spoken and regional Korean language (for example, the dialect from Busan, which is like our Ostrava dialect, sounds so cool).

Our 4th level class

At the first level, we were taught by the amazing 김규리 (Kim Kyuri), who spoke to us only in Korean ever since the beginning, so even now I don't really get it, how we were able to understand her at that time. With our second level teacher 사공진 (Sa Gong Jin) we talked a lot about our everyday worries and joys, so she naturally became our friend and mentor. We spent the third level in the online world with 이소정 (Lee So Jeong) and the last fourth level with the unforgettable 김수신 (Kim Su Sin). I think we know almost everything about his marriage, because he liked to explain grammar through examples from his own life. By the way, once I was talking on the phone with his wife and of course I wasn't able to say anything in a normal way, so she didn't understand me at all. 🙈

 
Each teacher was unique in their on way and I will probably remember all of them forever! 💗
대구대학교, 내가 멋지게 보내주신 작년을 감사합니다!

After all, all of us were able to pass TOPIK and other exams from Korean language, so nobody had to return to their homecountry. On the contrary, most of us can take another step to fulfill our dreams of studying for a master's degree or PhD.

Twilight Rabbit Hole

Sometimes, I fall into rabbit holes and I end up finding out information I want to share with others, so these days, I usually bother my friends and family with random stuff. I guess if I had enough time, I would create videos for TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, but editing videos takes so long that writing is faster and easier (for me 😅). Today's rabbit hole is not that deep. It is mostly about the Twilight series, Mormons and fantasy literature. Firstly, did you know that Twilight's author Stephanie Meyer is part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons)? It explains so much! Why do you think Edward and Bella have such a pure, clean relationship while dating but become so passionate after marriage? Also, none of the good characters drink alcohol or indulge in profanity or other vices. In this context, the next fact is hilarious for me. Did you know that Fifty Shades of Grey was originally written as fanfiction of Twilight 😂 E.L. James wrote Mast...

Finding an apartment in Daejeon

I have many stories about which I want to write here, be patient. 😁 A lot happened during this winter break. I have been hiking and skiing a few times, I met many new and amazing friends, so even though I couldn't go for Christmas to Czech (especially to see my cute niece Zuzka 😔), I am happy here in Daejeon 😊 I don't really have any interesting photos of our apartment, so I'm sharing some photos from hiking with Oketch, which I haven't shared before.😅 Photo was taken by Oketch, autumn 2020, Daedunsan. But a few weeks ago, I have moved from the dormitory to an apartment with my Indonesian friend Ici. So, I think now it's time to tell you how we found our new apartment. As most of the people I know, we were also using 직방 and 다방 (mobile apps where you can easily look for an apartment). We have started to look for an apartment around the middle of December, knowing that we have to move out in the middle of February. We have seen some dirty and old apartments and al...

Getting vaccinated in Korea - 잔여백신 macro

As some of you may know, you can get vaccinated with "Remaining vaccine" (잔여백신) and Kakaotalk or Naver can send you a notification to get this free vaccine. I have been getting notifications for the last few weeks, but I didn't succeed to get this free vaccine, probably because I was always too slow to claim it. But we are in Korea, the country of the newest technologies, so obviously someone wrote a macro for this. 😁 And show some love to my friend Mahdi who helped me to debug this code and gave me all the information I needed for writing this article! He also provided the English version of the macro. Basically, you set up your conditions and let the program search for these remaining vaccines and if it finds one, it will automatically register you for it. IMPORTANT: Don't run the program if you don't have time to get vaccinated on the same day! 1. Open Chrome browser. 2.  Log in to your Kakaotalk account.  Stay Logged In should be ticked. 3. You will see a map...
