Q.How are the classes in your country?

 There were Korean language lectures, Korean history lectures, and Korean culture experience lectures.There are two Korean classes, and after the first class, if you can understand and speak Korean even a little, you can choose two groups, and if you don't understand Korean very well, you can choose one group.I chose two classes and was able to understand the contents of the class at first, but it became difficult in the latter half of the lecture, and there were times when I could not understand it, but I learned while asking my friends to teach me.
 The teacher who taught me about the history of Korea and the history of the Korean wave was a Japanese teacher.In history, I was able to learn about myths and successive kings.Also, in the talk about the Korean wave, I was able to learn about Korean dramas and the actors who are called the four heavenly kings of the Korean wave.
 In terms of cultural experiences, I had a lot of fun wearing chima jeogori, learning taekwondo, and learning K-pop dance.I sweated profusely in taekwondo and dance classes, and it made me realize that it's amazing that my favorite idols can learn dances in such a short period of time while having such a hard time.

Q.What left an impression on you?

 It was a very short study abroad of two weeks, but it was a very fulfilling and enjoyable time.At first, I thought two weeks would be too long, but when it was over, it flew by.I was in tears when I left the dormitory.Among the participants, there were various people such as those who participated last year, those who have traveled to various places, and those who are thinking about studying abroad for a long time.After participating in this summer school, I became interested in studying abroad for a long period of time, and my dream for the future, which I had only thought of as a civil servant before, is that I want to do a job related to Korea.
