In our circle of public school friends are quite a few mixed Korean families. Almost all of the kids are not too familiar with the language though – especially those, whose mothers are non-Korean or second generation Korean-American. A few weeks ago at pickup, i noticed that two of Mika’s best friends are attending a casual Korean after school group that is run by a native Korean mother of another class mate. At the spur of the moment, i decided that it would be a great thing to try and now both Mika and Tobin are going to Korean class every Thursday. Mika’s big kid group is mostly about reading and writing, and building up basic vocabulary. She has a lot of catching up to do as her vocabulary is almost non-existent (hence the flash cards). Once a month, they do a cooking or craft activity instead, which is a lot of fun. In Tobin’s group, all the little brothers of the big girls come together with a few more 4 to 5-year olds. They sing, do crafts and games, but have a few small writing exercises as well. As you can see, Tobin can now write his own name in Korean, and the word for “hat”, which illustrates his origami figure. He even brought home a CD with children’s songs … * here is the first track:<\/p>\n
