Topic
discussed: Cultural Shock, differences in describing sounds in our countries
(Korea and America)
Cultural
and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: I found a video
from an American man living in Korea. He does many cultural videos and I found
one that was interesting to share with Hang ah. It talked about culture shock
he experienced while living in Korea. Topics included hospital culture, restaurant
service culture, and a variety of places not common in America, like karaoke rooms,
PC rooms and many themed cafes. This sparked a lot of conversation between the
two of us. I told Hang ah about a common joke American college kids have with
each other, which is to promise to call an Uber instead of an ambulance when one
of us gets hurt. I explained the unfortunate reality of the high cost of
medical treatments, meanwhile Hang ah explains that it is common for Koreans to
go to the hospital for minor things. The video also touched on the fact that we
have different noises we associate with animals and separate onomatopoeia. It was
a silly and fun time finding the differences in the sounds Americans and
Koreans have for dogs, cats, trains, clocks, etc.
