Workshop on Bilingualism. ...

Finally I did attend as one of the discussants at the 18th workshop on Bilingualism held at Yonsei University today.
This is Prof. Lee Hye-young 이혜영 as the current  president of 이중언어학회장. She's congratulating and welcoming all of the participants at the opening ceremony.
It's  such a fruitful endeavor indeed. Loved to be a part of it.
Mr. 조규형 who's in charge of 재외동포재단. He's delivering his 축사 congratulatory remarks on the event.
....and...what could be better than being at a academic event..and bumping into my student...Alfi who's taking her Master here...
...and also ms Lee Hyena...my former colleague from KOICA who's also pursuing her Master's. 
It's like a small reunion.

We Met Again Finally

 
After more than 3 years, we finally met again.  
Ms. Han, Ms. Kang, and Ms. Park (all of them used to be Korean teachers dispatched by KOICA). They were teaching Korean language and culture at our university (UGM) back then in 2008-2010). 
Well, I met ms. Park in Daejeon a couple of montsh ago, but the other sonsaengnims...I haven't met them for like more than 3 years.
So, it's indeed a reunion for us when they visited us in Seoul.
What could be better way to celebrate our reunion than having Indonesian food and added with some touches like 'birthday-like' party for the kids, though none of us were celebrating one.:-) 
Then, it would be a great way to enjoy the night while we're talking about nostalgia we had back then.
so many things to catch up among us. I am glad that all of them have secured their jobs in Korea.  
What would be a 'gathering' like this without games?
Well, it was sort of a  coincidence that Freya tossed her toy while she's playing with them...and then we started off....playing along with it. 
One thing that surely struck them was the fact that Eyra and Freya communicated with them using Korean language. Sure..it must be a shocking revelation for them who's never met both of our girls for quite some time. 
As for me, it was also a good chance to remember again..the good old time we spent together in Jogjakarta. 
Thank you, ms. Kang, ms. Park, and ms. Han for visiting us in Seoul.
