00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.437
Hi, my name is Clementine,
I'm a second year philosophy student at

d38fe635-3f7e-40d2-8b30-35b05a2cc0d5-1
00:00:04.437 --> 00:00:09.353
Warwick and I'm planning to do a year
abroad at Seoul National University in

d38fe635-3f7e-40d2-8b30-35b05a2cc0d5-2
00:00:09.353 --> 00:00:10.119
South Korea.

f4c9c47e-5dc2-4bef-93c4-8dcb2680bda5-0
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:16.677
So I started doing beginners accelerated
course at Warwick class academic year in

f4c9c47e-5dc2-4bef-93c4-8dcb2680bda5-1
00:00:16.677 --> 00:00:17.360
2023-2024.

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.063
I'm now doing Korean Level 3 and I'm
planning to do level 4 when I get back

786135ed-b120-40ad-aa75-3b7d8609e4db-1
00:00:21.063 --> 00:00:21.880
from my year abroad.

b3904b8e-7c08-402e-a15a-cb131d71dc94-0
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:26.080
So I just want to talk a bit about what
motivated me to learn Korean.

b660951e-cfe4-4023-95e2-92dec47df93f-0
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:27.920
Aside from my cultural interest.

ba41dadd-f0d2-40d3-91df-6041b8c6ea27-0
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.080
It was of course my passion for the
language.

8e9bf578-54bb-472b-ab8d-d5540b2c9597-0
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.323
I was self-taught for only a few months
before uni,

8e9bf578-54bb-472b-ab8d-d5540b2c9597-1
00:00:34.323 --> 00:00:37.760
but most of my skills were fostered at
Warwick.

5a98a6d0-4075-42cb-970c-8e567088c30e-0
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.499
So the way Korean modules are taught at
Warwick offers you the option from

5a98a6d0-4075-42cb-970c-8e567088c30e-1
00:00:42.499 --> 00:00:45.843
starting from scratch,
but also the option to progress to higher

5a98a6d0-4075-42cb-970c-8e567088c30e-2
00:00:45.843 --> 00:00:49.240
levels if you already have a basic
understanding of the language.

97383e30-8a73-4e74-b678-4ddbf1f74968-0
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:53.338
Well, this is really great,
especially if you're taking a model for

97383e30-8a73-4e74-b678-4ddbf1f74968-1
00:00:53.338 --> 00:00:53.600
credit.

22a29298-c774-4ddb-9c8d-9e9b5f083412-0
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.560
So you can really choose your the level
you want to start at.

fc50c695-e97f-4bf2-9c1d-25d61c2ee960-0
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.280
And the classes follow a standard and
systematic approach to language learning.

c7a21626-a16b-47a4-9f6c-9ea1e73aa6ab-0
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.729
So you'll learn new grammar and
vocabulary each week,

c7a21626-a16b-47a4-9f6c-9ea1e73aa6ab-1
00:01:04.729 --> 00:01:09.200
as well as ways to interact with like
basic day-to-day communication.

ecd6d549-c321-4ef6-a7eb-0139dfdc21fa-0
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.002
But of course,
you can't learn a language without some

ecd6d549-c321-4ef6-a7eb-0139dfdc21fa-1
00:01:13.002 --> 00:01:13.720
cultural aspects.

dfddbde4-dbbc-4ea2-9dd5-40fa3927de3e-0
00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:18.100
So the classes do also provide you with a
great understanding of Korean culture,

dfddbde4-dbbc-4ea2-9dd5-40fa3927de3e-1
00:01:18.100 --> 00:01:21.320
which is personally one of my favourite
aspects of the module.

5e3f924f-86bb-4f66-8899-7685a46e8e05-0
00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:25.354
So if anyone just considering learning
Korean or you know,

5e3f924f-86bb-4f66-8899-7685a46e8e05-1
00:01:25.354 --> 00:01:29.417
if you want the challenge of learning a
new language, or if like me,

5e3f924f-86bb-4f66-8899-7685a46e8e05-2
00:01:29.417 --> 00:01:33.362
you wanted to understand K dramas without
the subtitles, honestly,

5e3f924f-86bb-4f66-8899-7685a46e8e05-3
00:01:33.362 --> 00:01:35.600
I really recommend taking this module.

00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:39.079
Not only is language learning a really
valuable skill,

ed3c0439-5296-4965-b82c-855ef120f57b-1
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:43.007
it's a great break from your regular
degree and you'll find a lot of like

ed3c0439-5296-4965-b82c-855ef120f57b-2
00:01:43.007 --> 00:01:44.600
minded people in Korean class.

8f2c7563-b9fd-44de-a25e-f21183770e7b-0
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:47.338
So come to Korean class if you want to
try it out,

8f2c7563-b9fd-44de-a25e-f21183770e7b-1
00:01:47.338 --> 00:01:50.040
even if you know nothing about the Korean
language fighting.
