Day 3 Lesson Brief
In our first and second lessons, we covered self-introduction and understanding directions and instructions.
Today, we’re going to delve into sharing more about ourselves, including personal information. This session is equally crucial, as it offers an opportunity to showcase a deeper understanding of Korean language and culture.
By effectively communicating personal details, learners demonstrate not only language proficiency but also cultural awareness and adaptability, all of which are highly valued in a professional setting in Korea.
So, let’s dive into this important aspect of language learning, as it will further enhance your ability to integrate seamlessly into Korean society and workplace environments.
So, in our third lesson:
After orientation, the interviewer asks the interviewee to sit down on a chair and asks about personal information.
They usually ask about family relationships or hobbies.
Then, they ask simple questions that are not too difficult.
Listen to the audio files from this book, practice a lot so that you can answer them at the interview.
However, if you didn’t hear the question clearly, ask, “죄송하지만 다시한번 말해주시겠습니까? (I’m sorry, but could you say it again?)”
And, if you didn’t understand the question, politely say, “죄송하지만 질문을 이해하지 못했습니다. (I’m sorry, but I didn’t understand it.)
