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...

Jorge and Kathe got married!

Once upon a time, there was a boy Jorge who met beautiful girl Kathe and they fell in love (well, first he didn't notice her at all, but after studying at university in Italy, then coming back to Ecuador, he finally noticed her). So they fell in love and started to date. One day they decided to apply for a scholarship in a far away country called Korea. It may seem as an coincidence that both of them got accepted the same year and for the same degree university, but we all know that this was destiny. Unfortunately, they had to be seperated for theeir first year in Korea, because Jorge went to Daegu (more like Gyeongsan) and Kathe went to the most beautiful city in Korea (according to Dani) Gwangju. They survived not only this separation, but also the horrible coronavirus pandemic which took place in the year 2020.                         In Daegu Jorge met his amazing Latino family and he became our older brother, 오라버니. He...

How Laura almost became homeless

Well, you already know that Jorge got married. But what you don't know, is that on our way to Seoul, I made a short stop with Laura in her village where she's going to study her master's degree. You see, I am making fun of her all the time, because of the fact that she's going to live in countryside, but actually she will live like 15 minutes on bike from Daiso (unfortunately, Laura says that it's small 😓) and Homeplus. So that's not really a countryside, because these are the most important things you need for a happy life in Korea. Well, and Costco (Laurita, you need to visit me and Azizbek in Daejeon 😁)! On our way from the train station to first reality agency I noticed that there are almost no young people. And on that day the whole Jochiwon looked super gloomy. With the first lady we went to see small oneroom which was located in the basement. I mean for basement place it was kind of ok, but still, who wants to deal with the mold? On the other hand, it...
