A Reflection on Week#3 discussions

I was amazed and interested after watching the video about the differences between Asians and Westeners thoughts and cultures of language. I think one of the big difference between them is Westerners have strong individualities whereas Asians are the opposite. Especially in Korea, there is a word 'Jung-정' which means attachment and we say ' You have a lot of Jung'. The other big difference is Asians do not have creativity like Westerners have. To support this, we believe it is a good culture that if parents set a path for offspring and they should follow that path. May be because of this, many Asians have a hard time thinking about their real future and what they want. Also, Westerners are more open minded so they do not have a bad prejudice about tattoo and we can see so many various and characteristics.
I hope good things between Asians and Westerners' culture and thoughts combine well in future.

What materials, tools, and/or sites have been most useful to you as a language learner?
For me, watching or listening the medias has been the most useful material to me as a language learner. I once heard that listening English 6 hours a day help English listening skill so I occionally listen to Arirang Radio. It is fun because the contents of this are various. They are suitable for young generations because some Korean celebrities appear on the radio. Also the hosts are bilingual, they teach new words and say same sentence twice in English and in Korea. It is really helpful.
