Lesson 105 (Pre-Advance 1 Lesson 3)
December 11, 2021•615 words
This lesson does not have a lot to write for the post. It feels strange to have so much speaking activities again and slowing down the pace to what was normal in the past.
My wifi was acting up at the start of this lesson. Fortunately, it was just the wifi and not the internet, and plugging in a LAN cable worked. If not, I kept having things freeze on me every minute at the start of the lesson.
In the textbook, we started with p. 232 which was an activity to describe the picture, serving as a revision for the last grammar point that we covered last week. Then, we did Speaking 2, the activity after that, then the Listening.
Next week, I guess we might do the self-check and then start on the next Chapter. But for the two weeks after that lesson, there will be no lesson due to the Christmas and New Year break. The next lesson after that will be in the new year.
Culture Note
This was the second last thing covered. We did not read the passage. The topic was about preferred colours in traditional costumes.
In Korea, the children wear top (called 저고리) which is multi-coloured. Boys would wear pants while girls would wear a skirt with it.
Pronunciation
This is nothing new, but this is the first time the rule is stated in the textbook.
In most cases, when the final consonant ‘ㄴ’ is followed by ‘ㄹ’, ‘ㄴ’ is pronounced as [ㄹ].
We had the closely-related (with ㄹ + ㄴ instead of ㄴ + ㄹ) version covered in Lesson 100, and I noted that I could not find this version. (And today as well, the teacher did mention that the rule applies to the opposite order.)
Examples:
- 한라산 [할라산]
- 편리하다 [펼리하다]
- 연락처 [열락처]
