・・About Hangul・・ Until the 15th century, Korean was written using Chinese characters. In 1446, a Korean alphabet called Hangul was created and developed. The purpose of this creation was to promote literacy in Korea. So the writing system had to be as simple as possible so that anyone could learn it. Hangul has been used ever since. |

Introduction to Korean Culture
20 people including AIFA staff gathered at the audio-visual room, 3rd floor, Ayase Community Center and enjoyed listening to Ms Nagahori's talk about Korean culture including food, clothing and shelter.
We watched the 5th Anniversary memorial festival of her Korean classes held in Atsugi on DVD, and learned a few basics on Hangul and painted Hangul characters on plain plates.
Before the workshop, tea was served. We enjoyed different taste of teas; jujube tea, ginger tea, marmalade tea.
Ms Nagahori was born in Korea. She has been in Atsugi for many years, so she speaks Japanese very fluently. She started her 1st Korean conversation class five years ago, and more and more people wanting to learn Korean came, and now she has 10 Korean conversation classes in various parts of Atsugi. According to an AIFA member Ikeda, who also lives in Atsugi, her teaching style is quite unique.
She often uses games and children's songs or dances when teaching Korean conversations, grammar or phrases. Her students love her style and keep on studying.
