Interacting with foreigners, including a secondary school teacher and fellow university students, has motivated this student. His teacher used movies while his university friends taught him slang. He has read a book about North Korea and he likes books on politics and economics.

Listening to songs, watching movies and making sentences was how this student’s English learning developed in primary school. She read a book about North Korea titled Nothing to Envy which she found in the library.

Extra-curricular English tutorials during primary school were fun for this Global Studies major. She studied Macbeth in secondary school and later travelled to Edinburgh where she learned more about the history of the play. She also likes Oscar Wilde, Barbara Demick, and many others.

Being in the US allowed this Linguistics major to speak English confidently. Reading Treasure Island in kindergarten sparked her interest in reading. She likes history and plans to read Nothing to Envy.
