After saying farewell to Seongbong, Hunwoo and I moved to the living room to proceed with the evenings lesson. Phrases seem to be what he has most difficulty with, since even the denotations of the words do not help him understand. So we first went through two more articles in the Korean Times (him giving me an explanation of each paragraph) to work on his comprehension all the while I continued giving him definitions of foreign words and phrases. Afterwards I asked him to bring out once again his list of words and phrases and write a short page long paragraph using 10 of the learned words and 5 of the phrases, mimicking what I had seen in one of the classroom observations. He had naturally forgotten the meaning of some of them and the exercise served as good reinforcement.
