Korean Students vs. The Clap Challenge Game


Super duper UBER BUSY!!!! It's been a little bit since one of us chicks has dropped in a post. A little bit more activity and additional sneak peaks going on at our Facebook page at Facebook.com/JustHatchedinKorea . Just so you know....and... uhh I'm secretly hoping you "like" us! Hehehe. Nothing wrong with being honest about it. ;D

I got the opportunity to record one of my many classes doing an activity. The name of the game? "The Clap Challenge" and my does it wear it out. :D  This is my 6th grade class 2 trying their efforts to complete the game. Don't worry.... Nobody died. Just by the end of it, the students felt like they were going to. ㅋㅋㅋ. 

It can be pretty tough sometimes being a new teacher. Trial and error, and man when error hits, it's like a slam in the face by a crate of rotten eggs, sticky, stinky, no fun, and hard to clean up. I'm serious about practicing efficient teaching so my students can get an optimal learning experience from me. But sometimes no matter how hard you try to create a good lesson plan, the students just might not get it. So my best advice is to also remain calm and cool, and be prepared to rebound with something new. This isn't teaching advice people.... But life advice too. It's one of the many things I've learned since being in Korea.

Okay so now that Jazz is done blabbering about teacher stuff.... she gives you this cute little film. ;D Enjoy!

Learning Hangul *Korean Alphabet*

Here I have a website that I want to share with the rest of you... This is what I used to help jump start my own language reading and writing comprehension even before taking a class course in it. I strongly suggest this site above any other.  For those curious and passionate ones who want to start reading Hangul, the Korean alphabet. Korean is a phonic language just like English, which also makes it the easiest Asiatic language to learn. With only about 10 to 12 more letters than the English alphabet, learning how to read simple words and phrases in Hangul are literally just moments away. Give it a try!
