Lesson 67 (Intermediate 1A Lesson 5): End Chapter 2

In this lesson¹, we covered the rest of Chapter 2 in the textbook, then the video supplement handout. Finally, we started on Chapter 3 (vocab only). The lesson ended slightly over time, about 4 minutes over.

We started with Quizlet, in particular the sentences for Chapter 2. Initially, before all the students had joined the Zoom call, we were taking turns to translate each card from English to Korean. Later on, we kind of did it together. I realise I'm not very good at this so clearly I have not practised the sentences well enough.

The video supplement worksheet had 3 dialogues, followed by a short tongue twister section. We listened to the dialogues and filled in the blanks (though the answers were printed on the next page). After that, we practised with a partner. Because my handout was missing the last page², when we did the practice, I had the teacher in the breakout room since she was sharing her screen for me to view it.

Culture Note

There is a passage to read, which is what we did. This is similar to Chapter 1. I took a peek at Chapter 3, and this seems like it would be the theme from now on.

The passage (and the first section with some images of online club banners) mentions a 태사모. From the image clearly it's a Taekwondo club, 태 = 태권도. 모 = 모임 (meeting), and 사 = 사랑 (love). So it's a club for Taekwondo lovers. (It's covered in the passage, but the teacher had asked us if we knew what it was before reading it.)

The point for discussion was the activity clubs popular in our country. We didn't really talk about this when we got here because we discussed it during the Listening section, where the teacher asked what club we would join if we had time. (She rightly realised that lack of time was a problem for us.)

Pronunciation

This is an extension of the last pronunciaton rule from the previous 1B book, Chapter 16, covered in Lesson 60.

The only difference is that now the consonant ㅈ is mentioned, because in this chapter we learnt the V-(으)ㄹ 줄 알다/모르다 grammar.

The Rule: When you have '-을/ㄹ' (i.e. any ㄹ grammar) followed by the initial consonants 'ㄱ, ㅅ, ㅈ', then 'ㄱ, ㅅ, ㅈ' are pronounced as their respective double consonant counterparts [ㄲ, ㅆ, ㅉ].

Examples:

1. 갈 거예요 [갈꺼에요]
2. 만들 수 있어요 [쑤이써요]
3. 피아노를 칠 줄 알아요 [쭐알아요]
