Throughout this course was really fun. I know I learned a lot. I know for sure I learned the stereotypes of East Asian languages like Chinese being the base of Korean and Japanese. It isn’t that Chinese is the base of both but it’s just that Chinese was borrowed in Japanese and Korean. That is something I learned. Some reactions I had for the readings were mostly surprised. Like the one reading for Korea, where children separate from their fathers to study English was very interesting to me. I never knew mothers went to the extent to leave their home country for a long time just to learn English. I know some families did it for a couple of months but for years was shocking. Also the other reading that surprised me was the Chinese Parenting Style. It seems harsh in a western point of view but it makes sense once I think about it and learned from the lecture. This term and class really helped me a lot in developing and learning the culture in East Asia. Especially in Korea when I worked in my research projects. It was very fun in general! Thank you for this great time and opportunity.
