On Friday, April 5^th, 2019, I had a Skype conversation with Dojun. I started off our conversation by mentioning April Fool’s Day, since it occurred between our last meeting. He mentioned that Korea also has an April Fool’s Day, but it is mostly for younger people, as older people are not as aware of it. He also talked a little about Korean holidays, such as Children’s Day, and how there aren’t really things like parades in Seoul because people don’t want the streets to be clogged up with traffic. I think maybe because it was morning time in Korea, he was stuttering a little more than usual, but as the conversation went on, he picked up his speaking pace. We also talked about some idioms, such as “hitting the road” and “hitting the hay.” He found most of the idioms that I introduced fairly easy to understand, since he said some of them were similar in Korean. He also had some issues understanding how to use the verb “make” in past tense with prepositions. We went over “made of,” “made from,” and “made out of.” Going over those helped me review and figure out how to explain the ideas to others.
