To wrap up everything that we got from the session, it's better to start with this Quranic verse :
Translation : And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge. (Ar-Rum : 22)
From the session we all know that Lee Woongho acquired multiple languages throughout his life, and it helps him to communicate better with people from different countries. We as Muslims has the responsibility to seek knowledge, and learning languages is one of the knowledge. We have learnt that it is not just cool to speak in more than one language, but also important to deliver da'wah across the globe. How to deliver da'wah clearly and comfortably without barriers if we can't even understand other people's languages, right?
In our era, the world of knowledge is dominated by non-Muslims. Why? Because they are more eager in exploring new things and seeking more knowledge out of curiosity. Look at Lee Woongho! He traveled the world, had been an exchange student in two different countries, and now he is here in Malaysia, learning linguistics. Shouldn't we be like him, putting our efforts in gaining knowledge even if we have to leave our home sweet home behind? The world does not revolve only in CFS, so we should go out and explore new knowledge in order to improve ourselves and our mind, as well as our akhlaq. :)
Along the session, we found it hard to listen to the speaker because of all the hullabaloo in that small class. We were pretty much annoyed and at some point, we felt like giving up on hearing the interview. When we reflect back, it's kind of stupid to give up so easily just because the condition is unfavorable. In gaining knowledge, we have to be patient and focused on the subject discussed even though we don't like the situation of the place because the one that's going to lose big time is us ; the knowledge will still be passed on to the others.
All in all, it was a great experience and we hope to get more chances in meeting other awesome people in this world so that we can be awesome, too. InsyaAllah. Pray for us, sir!
This is the last post for this blog. Thank you for reading. Hope we'll meet again soon.
Yours truly,

First of all, Lee Woongho is a normal guy who’s been going through different stages in his life. He masters four different languages which are Korean, Chinese, English and Japanese language. Well, that makes him different from other normal guys, right? His mothers tongue, of course, is the Korean language, you know just by looking at his name.
At the age of 6, he went to a Chinese Primary School for one year. That’s when he got the chance to learn Chinese language. How lucky he is! Ahhh, how we wish we were in his place, we love Chinese language! Wo hen ke ai hiks.
Then, when he was 7 years old, he followed his father to Scotland and he stayed there for a year. Even for only one year, it is enough for him to pick up English language through his environment because it is the time where the brain actively picks up words and the grammar of the language.
Next, he went back to Korea, his hometown and he had his life there. Of course lahh! He lived in Korea for years and fly to Japan at the age of 20. He became an exchange student for one year. Haaaa! This is when he obtained his third language which is Japanese language.
Japanese language was an easy language for him to master as the grammar of Japanese and Korean language is quite similar. He knew nothing about Japanese language when he went there. At first, he learnt Japanese by memorizing the words so that he’ll be able to read Japanese.
After one year, he went to China as a language student to learn Chinese language. He is educated formally to learn Chinese language for one and a half year. Now, he is already thirty one and he is currently studying at University Malaya in Linguistics course.
Linguistics Relation
Thus, we can
conclude that the Critical Period
Hypothesis theory by Eric Lenneberg is
totally accurate. His theory stated that when someone learn language after
puberty, it is harder for them to acquire and master the language properly. As in the case of Lee Woongho, he can actually understand Chinese naturally. Plus, he can actually pronounce "r" and "m" properly because he was exposed to the pronunciation when he was little. The way he speaks English is also quite good as the result of exposure to the language when he stayed in Scotland.
From what we know, it is harder to learn second language if the grammar of the first language is not similar to the second language's grammar. Even though it is quite hard for Lee Woongho to learn Japanese language because he acquired it after his puberty, it is pretty easy for him to understand the grammatical part of the language because Japanese grammar is also the same as Korean's. He also stated that Arabic language is hard for him to learn, partly because of the grammar is different from his first language which is Korean.

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).
