Meeting Lee Woongho
Assalamualaikum

Hey Sir! 

So, we are going to write about our experience regarding the "press conference" with your friend, Lee Woongho. To be honest, we were pretty devastated that the trip to the kindergarten was cancelled and it saddened us even more when you said that you are going to bring your Korean friends. We were like, K-Pop people? Oh no. no no no no. No.

Before the night, we didn't prepare anything special. Just pen and papers, you know, normal stuffs. We didn't dress ourselves up that much because we considered the meeting as just another Linguistics class.

When we entered the classroom, he was already there, sitting on a chair and he looks like he is bored. We were kinda late, so when we saw him, we rushed to find a chair thinking he might get bored just because he already waited for us for a long time.



That night, he was dressed in his short-pants and a plain shirt. How cool is he! He stood up and he clears his throat. He looks firm and tough physically but let’s see how he talks first. Only then we can judge him and make him as a “lab rat” for our research on this. Hahahahaha. Actually, we are looking forward to how he sounds like. By the time he opens his mouth, he doesn’t really sound Korean. Hmmm… 

Before he even started talking, Naimah confidently said that she can perfectly understand how a Korean speaks English. But, when he started to talk, Naimah gave up (hands on shoulder, eyes looking upward) because he sounds different from other Korean. 



All the way through the session, he tells us his experiences in learning languages. We can tell that he is really awesome by the fact that he can master languages in quite a short time. Wow! Wow! Wow! Many questions were asked by the other students and we were just, sitting there, listening to him and not knowing what to ask. You know, we are the silent type of people. As the Malay proverb says “silent silent potato fleshing” or the real translation is “diam diam ubi berisi”. Hiks.

Anyway, we still enjoyed the session with him, we grasp new knowledge about language acquisition and find it really helpful and inspiring for us especially for those who are graduating (omaigaddd kitorang la uolls).
