6人看韓劇念歌詞 1年通過檢定

【聯合報╱記者李恩慈／大樹報導】2010/05/30

義守大學國際商務系6名女學生一起選修商用韓文課程後「哈韓」，6人利用紀錄韓劇對白與朗誦韓國歌曲，反覆練習韓國字，經1年的努力全都通過韓文檢定考試，她們拿著檢定合格證書開心地說：「把哈韓風學以致用，真棒！」

My comments: Passion, exposure to authentic target language, and practice.

義大國商系學生簡孟婷、涂鈺羚、簡慈紋、吳詩婷、劉亭君和許彤翎等6人一起選修「商用韓文」後，習慣對韓國大小事與最新資訊的關心，並且經常一起討論如何精進韓文能力。

My comments: Interest in the culture of the target language enhances language learning.

「韓語最困難的地方是文法與發音！」簡孟婷說，韓國文法與中文不同，她們都從頭摸索學習；韓文發音更是饒舌，很多音都黏在一起，剛開始學韓文時很難朗朗上口。

My comments: Pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar are the basics.

6人為了突破困難，決定每天透過記錄韓劇對白內容或是不斷重覆朗誦韓國歌曲，增強聽力與文法；國商系教授李慧珠則認為，6個學生能在1年內從不懂韓文到通過檢定，「相當不簡單」。

My comments: Our first langauge learning experience proves that repetition is one of the sure ways to get familiar with a language. A good friend's daughter has a very good command of English. My friend, who was an English teacher, told me that in the third year of high school, her daughter's writing ability surpassed hers. Her daughter had listened to Studio Classroom three times every day since 9th grade!

劉亭君表示，她平常靠著大量觀賞韓劇、閱讀韓國雜誌和關心韓國偶像動態等方式，增加韓文的聽、說、讀、寫能力，通過韓文檢定後，最希望能親自到韓國旅遊一趟，深度體驗當地文化。

My comments: Reading something interesting in the target language ensures massive exposure to L2.
