Andrea CP #5

Yesterday I met with Keunhwa, along with Frankie and Hunter. I knew that both Frankie and I want to go to Korea to teach, so it seemed appropriate for both of us to speak with her. We learned a lot about etiquette during our conversation, even if it was mostly informal chatting. I asked Keunhwa about how students are disciplined in South Korea because reading chapter 14 in the book made me wonder about that. Other than that, we mainly talked about things like humor and colloquialisms in America. I realized that it is difficult to explain phrases that Americans use often to non-Americans. I struggled to clarify some of the things Frankie was trying to say to Keunhwa, especially when he was trying to discuss philosophical topics.
