Today's Korean class
Apr. 10th, 2007 08:54 pmIt was really fun! Although this computer doesn't have the IME, and I can't remember the syllables offhand
We learnt a lot of words, including the words for "cat" (something I don't remember offhand), "radio" (very similar), "helicopter" (almost like an English transcription), "robot" and "carrot" (literally "sweet root"), as well as some terms like "restaurant", "embassy", "airport" and "restroom". Our teacher joked that if we ever got lost or woke up in Seoul, at least we would know how to find our way around and how to leave. ^^;;
Korean isn't actually *that* hard, at least at this level... And what intrigued me were how a lot of words are similar to Sanskrit/Dutch/Latin words, like "ganga" ("river") and "pang" ("bread"), and some others that I don't remember right now. ^^;;;
Looking forward to next week~
