찜질방(Jjimjil-bang)? Sauna? Public Bath?



Grace from Korea here.


Have you ever heard of Jjimjil-bang?
Korean Sauna?
It's Korean public bath.
Jjimjil means steam massage in Korean.



This time, I went to Jjimjil-bang to introduce Korean way to enjoy sauna, public bath with my friends Q, Jieun and Sungji.





It's called 'Spaland'.
One of the brand of Korean Jjimjil-bang and it's famous one in Busan city.





To enter the Jjimjil-bang,
we had to change our clothes to Jjimjil-bok.
(bok means clothes)







We had a really great time in there !
We did fun games, took lots of selfies :D haha



And you definitely need to have some snacks in Jjimjil-bang !
There are some typical snacks Koreans enjoy in there.









All these information,
you can find out in my next, coming video :D



Please look forward to it !
I'll do my best editing the video :D haha






See you soon



영어 면접 연습 - Let's practice interviewing in English !



Grace from Korea here.

I had an opportunity to practice interviewing in English. 
I would like to show you the video of it 
and have lots of feedback and advice from you :)  

Please feel free to give me some ! 

이번에 수업시간에 영어로 인터뷰할 수 있는 기회가 있었는데요~ 
비디오로 녹화해봤어요! 
부디 인터뷰하시는 상관의 입장에서 바라봐주시고, 
많은 피드백 주시면 감사하겠습니다!! :D












As you can see at the last part of the video, I got 3 self-reflection points from it.




I found my self doing eye-rolling too much. 
I don't think I can help myself doing eye-rolling but maybe I should try to do less..



I felt I was answering questions too simple.
So, telling more about my own story would be more impressive to interviewer. 


And follow up to my 2nd opinion, I think I need more specific examples of my past experiences.

What I was impressed by my classmate's interview was she was answering her questions, using her past experiences. Even though I(Imaginary boss to her) was not asking her to answer using her experiences, I was so impressed by her answers. I thought if I was her real boss, I would hire her as my employee :)




I hope I can make another video of interviewing in English,
but advanced one ! :D

I'm more than happy because I'm sure it will help for my future interviews.







Thank you for watching and I'm looking forward to meeting you with another video coming !

Let's speak English like a native speaker ! 영어 말하기 연습 - 원어민처럼 말하자 !


Grace from Korea here.

I practiced speaking English, using the method 'shadowing'. I felt it was really good way to improve speaking English skills, so I would like to introduce to you who are learning English like me ! I hope you enjoy watching this video :) 

Grace 입니다 :) 
Shadowing (쉐도잉) 기법을 사용하여 영어말하기 연습을 해보았습니다! 
쉐도잉은 영어를 보다 유창하게 말할 수 있도록 큰 도움을 주는 방법이라고 생각해서, 
이렇게 저처럼 영어를 공부하시는 여러분들께 소개해드리고자 합니다! 
재밌게 봐주세요 !








I'll be back soon with another interesting video :)
See you soon !
