The topics that have intrigued me the most during this class were everything to do with gender. Oppa and gendered honorifics were particularly interesting to me because I like learning about gender differences in other cultures. In addition to the readings, it was interesting to hear people’s different opinions concerning gender in class. The dispute over oppa was particularly interesting because I got to hear people’s different views on the subject. I really enjoyed having a smaller class size because everyone began to feel more comfortable voicing their opinions in class than they might have in a larger classroom. Going into this class, I wasn’t sure what linguistics really was. Now I feel like I have a much more comprehensive knowledge about the subject and field.
