A Fun Chat with My Korean Student
Yesterday, I helped my teacher to do some project with his international student. I helped him to teach his students to learn Indonesian. In my class, there were Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. I had four students to chat with, 3 Koreans and 1 Chinese.
1. Jin (male, Korean, 1991 line), he has the best Indonesian among them because he lives in Indonesia for about 6 months.
2. Seonhyeong (female, Korean, 1995 line), she has a cool personality, she lives in Indonesia for about 3 weeks.
3. Kim (male, Korean, 36 years old) works in a church in Korea, has a calm personality like a wise Dad.
4. Lee (male, Chinese, 1997 line) for any languanges, he can't speak both Indonesian and English. OMG! I didn't know how to talk with him, should I learned Chinese first so that he could understand? But, it was Indonesian class for heaven's sake!
We had a casual chatting after our lessons finished. The following conversation we spoke in three languages Indonesian, English and Korean.
Seonhyeong: Do you know Choi Siwon? (curious)
Me: Oh yeah, I know him, the one from Suju, right? (calm)
Seonhyeong: Yeah, that one. He came to Indonesia in the previous day, right?
Me: Oh yeah, with Suju. They had SS5 here. Did u watch the show?
Seonhyeong: No, of course not. I don't like them. U know, Suju is not too popular in Korea. (I caught a cynical tone there)
Me: Oh is that so? (cool)
Seonhyeong: Do you like Korean music?
Me: Uhm... band... I like Korean band... U know CNBLUE? and FTISLAND? (carefully)
Seonhyeong: Oh yeah. Oetoriya... Oetoriya... (sing, then laugh)
Me: Which Korean group do u like?
Seonhyeong: Errr... I don't like that kind of thing. Because... u know... it's childish...
Me: Is that so? So what do u like?
Seonhyeong: I like actor.U know... Song Joongki?
Me: I know him. Running Man?
Seonhyeong: Yeah, yeah! (cheerful) Ah Running Man? Do u know it? Yoo Jaesuk? Do you know Yoo Jaesook?
Me: Of course I know him, Yoo Jaesuk.
Seonhyeong: You know? He's good. He's the best!
Me: (nod)
Seonhyeong: Do u like vocalist or guitarist....?
Me: I like guitarist.
Seonhyeong: Then, u like...
Me: LEE JONGHYUN! (enthusiastic)
Seonhyeong: Ya ya, Lee Jonghyun. Do you like him?
Me: Of course! I like him so much!
-------------------- presentation -----------
Seonhyeong: Ah, look at him! (point to someone who did a presentation, a Japanese named Yoden)
Me: Yes, why?
Seonhyeong: Doesn't he look like Lee Jonghyun?
Me: (glance at him) NO! Of course not!
Seonhyeong: No? Never?
Me: (curiously) Have u seen Lee Jonghyun?
Seonhyeong: Yes, I have.
Me: (immediately look at Yoden to make sure if he really looks like Lee Jonghyun, then look at Seonhyeong again) Really? (look at Yoden again, then at Seonhyeong) Eyyy, a liar!!!
Seonhyeong: (laugh)
Me: Have u seen him? Really? Have u seen Lee Jonghyun directly?
Seonhyeong: Yes! I mean on TV (laugh)
Me: Eyyy, a liar!
