Korean with Hyunji

Do you want to understand BTS's songs? Then apply for Korean café! My name is Hyunji Oh and I am majoring in Korean Language and Literature at my home university. I'm exchange student in Osnabrueck university this semester. I spend wonderful days during my Welcome week for exchange students but there was no chance to teach Korean. At this point, 'Korean Café (from Organizing International Café course) is a valuable opportunity for me to apply my major. I am really forward to open my 'Korean Café' cause I'd like to meet other international students and want to learn other languages too.

My goal during this course is to teach Korean language and also K-cultures, too. First, I will teach 'Hanguel', the intrinsic Korean character. Then following my tutees' capacities, I will teach next steps. Also, just learning Korean might be tired or bored so I will show and share K-culture like K-Pop or K- contents. We will interpret and explore Korean songs and lyrics. If you love K-pop, I recommend this course. Additionally, you can show your country's culture like K-pop! I'd like to be taught and explore your country's culture and languages. Please come Korean Café and let's share our language and culture!
