2-Week Program on Indonesian Language Came Full Circle

phew...akhirnya selesai juga kelas padat selama 2 minggu atau 80 jam. Yup...setiap hari dari jam 9 pagi sampai 5 sore, saya membantu kelas bahasa Indonesia.

Sambil membawa sertifikat masing-masing, kami berpose dulu. 인증샷 있어야죠^^ 

What about selfie? It is a must^^

Pak Charles, Im Young,Won-ha, Luke, Rin, and me.

See you around, guys.

Jangan lupa utk terus belajar, ya!

Another Class Done!!!^^

 

Class B of Indonesian Language Course finally came to the last meeting. 

A casual atmosphere of the class was really a positive sign that they did enjoy the looooong-course of the program. 

Mas Dong-hoon, Mas Chung-hwan, Pak Pal-young, mbak Mi-ae, & mas Sang-gon. 

Selfie after the class...and now...they're ready to take the test next week.

Senangnya akhirnya bisa menyelesaikan kelas bahasa Indonesia.

Tiap Jumat & Sabtu telah menjadi akhir pekan yang melelahkan sekaligus menyenangkan...dan yang pasti....

semoga semuanya yang kita pelajari bersama di kelas ini

 akan menjadi berguna untuk kita semua.

Terima kasih.^^

A Final Class with Korean Friends

Finally, we finished our class. 

After several meetings, they're now ready to take exam on Indonesian language. 

With a selfie....in the class we ended our class meetings.

mas Hyeok-rok, mas Yeong-jin, mbak Yong-ha, mas Sang-hyeon and me.

Been a great time with you, guys.

Keep on studying bahasa Indonesia.

You're all great students.

Potluck Party @ Our Class

Yes, it's the last class we had in our conversation class. 

So why not make it into a potluck party while we had fun in the class.

Gyorun and Wook-seon were having their first bite of risoles--Indonesian-style tempura + dipped into ABC chilly sauce. and oh..we're also having banana pudding (not shown in the picture?)

Mr. Kim, mbak Joohyang, and mas Min-seok were also having their share of potluck. Apart from that, we also had some Korean snacks and walnut pie.  

These two on the right side...were busy indulging themselves into the food.  

and then..a group photo. 

We've been friends for about 10 weeks. 

Sure we'll bump into each other when time comes. 

Wook-seon: A cool-looking guitarist majoring in German who's passionate about having Indonesian language as another foreign language to master. 

Mbak Joohyang: a business woman who lived in Indonesia until her high school and who's passionate about Indonesia is an avid traveler to Indonesia thanks to her family business. She speaks Indonesian language, for sure. So..why joining the class? hmm...I am sure it's simply because she wants to make sure that she's surrounded by those speaking it so as not to forget what she learned.

 Minseok (at the back): a tough guy who likes to eat pindaetteok. At first, Indonesian language was hands-down difficult for him, but then..he got the hang of it. 

He's about to go to Indonesia for some business trip.

Gyorun: a student majoring in Malay-Indonesian language at HUFS. A girl who likes Garosu-gil: what for? Shopping? hmm...I wonder.

Mr. Kim: A businessman turned a novelist who's also an avid learner of Indonesian language--in fact he's been an autodidact learner. His passion to learn Indonesian language is clearly shown in his mastery of vocabularies. Oh, he's been a frequent traveler to Indonesia as well.

So, all in all: we're all Korindo (Korea Indonesia). 

Bingo??

First, I thought they were doing some kind of Bingo.^^ I was wrong. I was so oblivious that they were actually doing a tracking practice.They were drawing the lines over the dots that once they do so, a series of numbers would appear. A good practice for kids to learn the numbers and how to write them.
So...I thought it was Bingo.
It was almost 11 pm and they insisted on doing this until they finished up to number 60. Eyra and Freya were busy doing this while I had to make sure that they were on time to go to bed afterwards.
One of the good things of being in Korea is that my children can learn both English and Korean at the same time. It was amazing to see how the kids could grasp both languages at the same time. They are now able to count in Indonesian, Javanese, English, and of course....in Korean language. Kids do have a mind of their own in learning new languages. ^^
