As I previously<\/a> mentioned, my Korean course in January was a success. I feel that my<\/span> final project was especially successful. We had to come up with a five-minute “speech” to deliver to the class, and all in Korean of course. Some students used powerpoint slides. I did.

<\/span><\/span> The speech and slides are below, in Korean (with an English translation I have done just now; it was not part of the assignment). Be not deceived by its simplicity! This speech took me many, many painstaking hours — About eight hours in a coffee shop, then several more revisions, and helpful suggestions from many along the way. Others in the class told me that they enjoyed my presentation a lot. Here it is:

__________________________________________<\/span> Last year, from mid-September to October 31st, I completed hiking trip. It was on the \u201cBaekdu-Daegan Trail\u201d in South Korea, which extends from the Jiri Mountains in the south to Gangwon Province’s Seorak Mountain in the north. I walked from the Jiri Mountains to the Worak Mountains [halfway across trail]. Anyway, I will tell you today about one part of this trip.

How did I get to the top of Baekunsan? From Jungi Village, I walked to Jung-Jae Pass. The mountain trail became difficult, which tired me out a lot.

<\/span>Jungi Village’s altitude is about 500 meters above sea level, but the summit of Baekunsan Mountain is about 1,300 meters above sea level! As a result, it an arduous hike. It took four hours of hiking. There was a lot of sweat. Finally, when I arrived at the top I became very happy!

I was alone. At about 8 AM, a middle-aged man arrived. We chatted for about ten minutes. We used Korean and English. Soon the man left [to continue hiking]. Twenty minutes later, I also departed. I began my hike again, towards Deogyusan National Park.<\/p>\n

Last year in September and October I saw a lot of mountains, but \u201cBaekunsan\u201d was particularly special.
