MANNAM STORY _ Learning Language

MANNAM



When Light meets Light there is Victory

 


This blog will save my memory with MANNAM.

As one of MANNAM members (MANNAMERs), I will post about my life with MANNAM.

 
 
 
Effective way to learn language.
 
Yesterday, I posted about the MANNAM Gwangju Korean class. To live in Korea (or some other countries), language is the most important part. To learn Korean, I recommend you to join the Korean class. Then, except for language classes, what can be the effective way to learn language? Of course, staying long is the best answer but in reality, it is difficult to go. Each person has his or her own way. There will be various ways to learn language.
 
One of the effective ways to learn language is to use literature. We usually read the original book in specific language. Or, we can watch movie (or drama) without subtitle. It is really hard at first, but you will get used to it. For me, I choose to watch movie, and write down some famous lines from a movie. The same applies to the novel. Gathering the famous lines, I can have my own diary. Today, I want to share this line.
 
 “Whatever happens tomorrow, we’ve had today.”
 

 
Maybe you know this line. This line comes from the movie ‘One day’. It was really impressive. It is really meaningful. Of course, it’s better for you to watch whole movie and then remind this line, but I think that line itself is enough.
 
Like this, there are some many good famous lines that you can easily find through the book, or the movie. And it is effective for you to learn language. (I did :P)
 
What are yours? Is there any effective way to learn language?
If you have your specific way, then please share with me :D:D:D:D:D

Korean class of MANNAM Gwangju!
 
Today, I want to introduce MANNAM Gwangju Korean class!
 
  What do you think is the most difficult thing for foreigners who live in Korea? You may guess my intention. Most of all, Korean (language) is the hardest one. When we live or travel some countries, language is the biggest obstacle. However, you can’t stop learning language though it is very hard. Why? Because, we live all together in one place. I have to communicate with another people to live, so I need to know how to communicate using languages. Language is like a key. Let’s think about it. Which one do you prefer, foreigner who can’t speak any Korean and only uses English(universal language) or foreigner who tries to speak in Korean (though he/she is not that good at Korean)? Korean is just an example. I think it is applied to every country. I heard that French is very sensitive about using their own language and they are really proud of it. If I travel France and can speak little France, French people would feel more friendly. Like that, learning language is the essential thing to live in any country. So, we MANNAM, almost every MANNAM branch run Korean class.
 
  It is different from branch to branch, in case of MANNAM Gwangju, we run Korean class 3 times a week. Tuesday evening, Thursday morning and Sunday afternoon we run Korea class. We not only teach Korean, but also prepare some exciting programs. Focusing on special day like Lunar New Year’s Day, we plan our culture program. Last month, we made fortune bag and had a time to wear Han-bok (Korean traditional clothes; we usually wear them on Chuseok or Lunar New Year’s Day) and learn how to bow. It was really funny and everyone enjoyed it. I hope Korean class grow up and can teach as many foreign friends who are eager to learn Korean.
 
 
  I think, Korean class is really nice because people can learn not only Korean language but also Korean culture. We Korean teachers (I am also a Korean teacher!) always think about Korean class and pondered about how we can make better Korean class. The reason that I say like this is I want to let people know that we are trying to make better Korean class. It may be same in every MANNAM branch that runs the Korean class. So, please come and learn language and culture!

Welcome to Korean class!
