Why do you lot similar teaching together with why did you lot conduct it?
I love the procedure of teaching together with I love the Korean language. At the same time, I experience that I wanted to assist others with the noesis that I had learned, together with it wasn't possible to deliver this noesis without learning how to deliver it properly. I searched for a agency to deliver this noesis together with institute that teaching is a combination of sociology together with psychology, with the scientific discipline of language. I felt it was a noble message together with I thought how to portion the data with my students, together with how each pupil has a dissimilar agency of dealing with it, until I learn them the data inward a agency that suits them. From the religious side, this is a noesis that's beneficial because it's something that you lot lay it some other person, non merely science, but at the human, literary together with moral levels. The thought does non die, together with and thus you lot earn a moral provide together with a literary return. There is a wisdom, I believe, inward the phrase, "Let us remember: 1 book, 1 pen, 1 fry together with 1 instructor tin alter the world," every bit Malala Yousafzai said.
What does the Korean linguistic communication hateful to you? What did the Korean linguistic communication add together to your life together with what do you lot accomplish through the Korean language?
The Korean linguistic communication for me was a destiny together with it was a actually squeamish destiny. One of the best things that happened inward my life was to larn the Korean language. Before I entered the Korean department, I issued incomprehensible sounds. However, when I started to larn Korean, I knew how to purpose these sounds. I felt that my spirit existed inward a surely linguistic communication together with I loved the Korean linguistic communication earlier learning it. I loved the Korean people together with Korean culture. I graduated from the faculty of languages inward 2009 inward the commencement Korean degree graduated from the faculty of languages, but I traveled to Korea inward 2008. I came dorsum to Arab Republic of Egypt at the terminate of 2013, virtually 5 years later. I wasn't solely studying for my master's, but also I studied at many Korean linguistic communication institutes.
I met a lot of people together with I talked inward Korean the whole time. I own got lived a lot on my ain since I was 18-years-old, together with I came dorsum to Arab Republic of Egypt when I was 25-years-old. This menses was the basic menses inward which a individual becomes conscious. For the Egyptians, I was one-half Egyptian together with one-half Korean. For the Koreans, I was one-half Korean together with one-half Egyptian. This mixture was due to God together with and thus my manly individual nurture together with mother, together with and thus everyone who taught me Korean. I studied at Kyung Hee University. It was 1 of the best courses I own got ever studied. Also, I studied at Cheongju University together with at Busan National University. I studied curt class at Konkuk University together with after that I studied for my master's at Seoul National University from 2010 to 2013.
Now, I own got also prepared for a Korean linguistic communication teachers diploma inward August 2016. This diploma is solely for non-native Korean speakers. It's an of import diploma for non-native Korean speakers to properly go a Korean linguistic communication teacher. I also own got a translation diploma from the American University inward Cairo. Now, I am a instructor together with translator. Otherwise, I'm a gratuitous soul. I don’t similar beingness a teacher, but I love spreading noesis with people because God gave us this scientific discipline together with knowledge. When nosotros learn it to some other person, together with this individual teaches it to some other person, you lot experience that the globe is adorned when the low-cal comes out of all humans.
Who was the most influential instructor you lot had?
There are 2 professors. The commencement 1 is Professor An En Yong who was a volunteer at the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). She taught me inward the commencement twelvemonth inward the Korean Language Department. She was a volunteer together with her destination was to learn some Egyptians Korean together with she had the greatest influence on configuring the linguistic communication within of me together with on configuring my personality. She was the best instructor inward the agency that she delivered the information. She taught students inward their homes. She was semi-resident inward my menage together with she made me ameliorate my Korean quite a lot.
The minute professor was Min Hyun Shik, my supervisor at Seoul National University. He was the supervisor for my master's thesis. He was the 1 who supported me psychologically together with scientifically. He adopted me because I was the solely non-Korean inward the Korean linguistic communication teaching institute at Seoul National University. He saw that I was studying a really hard field, specially with other native speakers, thus I must hold out at the same flat with them. He was really supportive.
What do you lot mean value of the character of Egyptian students who are aid the cultural pump together with learning Korean?
They are students at the highest level. They are at the plough over of Egyptian club because they chose a rare linguistic communication that's somewhat foreign to the Egyptian mind. They are persevering together with desire to larn this language. They are respectful people with a high flat of morals. They are really open-minded together with most of them speak other languages, too.
What are some of the mutual mistakes with those Egyptian students?
Mistakes are non related to them beingness Egyptian but are related to Standard Arabic speakers inward full general who study Korean. There are mutual mistakes repeated past times all native Standard Arabic speakers who start with Korean. Whether inward Arab Republic of Egypt or inward whatever other Arab country, most of these are linguistic mistakes. Once the students know their mistakes, they right them together with and thus they go really proficient inward the language.
To which flat inward Korean tin students accomplish at the cultural center?
The pump offers 6 levels, from depression to high, but the destination of the pump is non solely to learn Korean, but also to spread noesis virtually all things Korean. By learning at the cultural center, students mightiness come across some difficulty inward the language, but the flat of the pupil is determined past times the pupil themselves. There are lots of students who accomplish really high levels together with and thus go to Korea on a Korean Government Scholarship Program (KGSP).
What is the argue behind the high flat of students inward the Korean Language Department at AinShams University?
This is due to many reasons. The commencement is that fifty-fifty if they go inward the Korean linguistic communication department, they are the best students at full general secondary phase from across Egypt, together with they know the right agency to study. Second, they study to a greater extent than than xx hours of Korean linguistic communication per calendar week thus they are practicing Korean to a greater extent than together with more. That's what makes them distinguished from students at other universities inward other Arab countries.
Do you lot own got whatever tips for anyone learning Korean, to ameliorate quickly?
One of the most pop answers is to spotter TV, hear to Korean songs together with to spotter movies. This is 1 of the fastest ways to larn whatever language, non solely Korean. Also, don't hold out ashamed of making mistakes. You tin right them together with won't hold out disrespected past times anyone who's non fluent inward a minute language. Consume Korean lather operas, songs together with movies, together with and thus do everything you lot study first-hand.
Finally, nosotros would similar to wishing every instructor inward the whole globe a really happy Teacher's Day!
