Hi my name is Ashley Jang and I am teaching Korean language at SLS. As a teacher, I am always very proud of all my students as they are proactive, fun and dedicated to learn my first language. Today, I would like to introduce one of my special Beg1 classes and their Wednesday regular dinner which happens before their Korean class each week.

Every Wednesday, before the 6.30pm class, my students (and I sometimes join too!) are meeting for an early dinner. What’s the menu? Korean food indeed! They meet at 4.30pm (normally Café Cya but they are always looking for some yummy ones!), eat dinner together (their favourite is KimChi Chigae), exchange Korean dramas and talk about K-pops as well as other cultural topics. Last week, we tried to order foods in Korean and I was shocked by their positive attitudes which made their mission accomplished (we haven’t even started that lesson yet!). Their last destination is Korean supermarkets for buying some Korean treats and drinks for sharing in the class and bringing it to their family. I found that their Korean is dramatically improving. Hence I have no doubt that they will speak my language fluently in no time! Are you a hungry K-pop fan? Come and join this group!
