(Interviewee: Hyeseon Hong / KAC IB student) One of my summer vacation plans is to go to Okinawa, Japan. Originally, I was interested in Japan and Japanese, and I went to Japan earlier this year. However, I couldn't forget the memory of that time, so I decided to go to Japan again this summer. The reason why I want to go to Okinawa, especially among the various regions of Japan, is that Okinawa is a good tourist destination to travel in the summer, and I became more curious because I heard it is Hawaii in Asia. When I went on a trip to Osaka in the past, I stayed at a friend’s house and became
1. Can you introduce yourself? My name is Noah Ellis. I’m from Atlanta, Georgia. I came to Korea in August 2022. Before coming, I didn’t know any Korean at all. I didn’t know anything about the culture, I just wanted to get up and go somewhere really different, and I love to learn new languages. 2. Do you remember your first memory with the Korean language, either spoken or written? And how was your first time learning Korean? Right when I got off at the airport. It actually was hard in the airport because when I came here, I learned to say certain things. And one of the Korean phrases I learn
What are your plans for summer vacation? (Interviewee: Subin Keum / KAC IB / Korean Student) My summer plan is to travel to Jeju Island. I am filled with anticipation as I look forward to exploring the island's breathtaking nature. I intend to explore various regions of Jeju and spend leisurely moments in nice cafes. I think Jeju Island provides an ideal setting for relaxation. After my time in Jeju, I will refocus on my studies, particularly in preparation for the TOEIC Exam. I am striving to achieve a high score. Although maintaining concentration will be challenging due to a sudden return f
What are your plans for summer vacation? (Interviewee: Nina Wolfmeir / KAC IB / Exchange Student) I am excited to explore many outdoor destinations in Korea and beyond. My first stop will be Japan, where I plan to spend the first two weeks of my vacation. Although I have never been to Japan, I am eager to experience its unique culture and compare it to Korea. After Japan, I will be heading to Singapore for a week-long adventure. I have always dreamed of visiting Singapore and am thrilled about this opportunity. After three weeks of traveling, I plan to spend time with my friends exploring Ko
(Interviewee: Senba Natsuki / Exchange Student) I think I am going to travel. I want to go to various regions in Korea such as Seoul or Daegu. I couldn’t travel very well because of my studying in Korea. And if I have a chance, I also want to watch the Seventeen concert. And as you know, I came here just for one semester, so I will return to Japan this summer vacation. Maybe I will get a part-time job which is a cake shop or a clothing store. Also, I will study English and Korean to improve myself. I think I will focus on English studying. And I am going to prepare to do the internship. As you
(Interviewee: Lee Na Young/Department of Tourism Management/Korean Student) I think that the best way to make friends in the new semester is to use snacks. In Korea, there is a culture of sharing snacks with other people, so I think sharing and eating candies with others and being friends at the first time. In the process of talking to each other while recommending snacks, I think friendship will deepen a little. I think the first step in making new friends is light snacks, and then find common interests and talk to each other. Talking about MBTI, which is popular in Korea these days, I think
(Interviewee: Arthur / IT Department / Senior in University) It’s a little bit difficult to make new friends but I’m trying. Many Korean people are shy, so talking with them is difficult sometimes. My tip on making new friends is, “Don’t be shy.” Because I am too shy to talk with other people, sometimes I want to talk but I’m too shy to do so. So, don’t be shy, it’s not a problem. We don’t have to hesitate to talk to other people. I usually start the conversation by asking questions to them, like what their major is and what they do in Keimyung University. After these, I would probably ask abo
(Interviewee: JongIk Park/KAC IR/Korean Student)My special tip is not to put too much effort on the idea of making new friends because it can cause you unnecessary stress. There are many clubs available on campus, and it will be great to join clubs together that meet the same interests. I usually offer people to grab lunch with me, so we can share conversations and make more connections. I enjoy socializing and love interacting with people. It can be quite difficult at first, but once you gain confidence, you will eventually find your way of socializing easily with others. My message is that y
