I told a friend about KClass, and that I was learning Korean. He grinned, and said that he'd learned some Korean at his Tae Kwon Do classes. Whenever they bow, or do any exercises the accompanied shouting is all done in Korean.
But when he recited what he said to me, I couldn't understand a word. I couldn't even recognise it as Korean!
I suppose that it's just as likely that between his Chinese 跆拳道 teacher's terrible Korean and his terrible memory that they've both stuffed up the Korean as I didn't understand, but it occured to me that one of the most common ways that foreigners come into contact with Korean is through Tae Kwon Do. Maybe we could have a lesson describing all the vocabulary one might hear in a Tae Kwon Do bout, and during training?
