C: U::m.

I: If in fact there is a nice community.

C: ((laughing)) There’s a nice community. U:m, I would say, I think that the students who have more background in the language don’t come to class as often, so it’s not really a problem. Um, I don’t feel as intimidated when there’s more students in the class who are at the same level as me. But I know that there are some kids who have, they were amazing at speaking Korean, they just never came to class and I think it’s a little unfair, because coming to class five times a week is really hard. You know, every day at the same time. U:m, but as far as integrating us, um, sometimes she pairs us up with different people, I can’t always work with my sister, so if I get to talk to somebody who’s better at Korean than I am and they have, they can say it perfectly because their parents have been speaking to them, it really helps me know where, um, the uh, the pauses in my sentences should go and how my tone should be, and like rising inflection at the end of the sentence, it, that really helps me so I guess as much as I wouldn’t like it, but I’m all (set) with the course, so it doesn’t matter, um, I think it would be better if she paired us up randomly with people. So you get the different experience. Or maybe you could help someone else. You know, if they’re at a lower level.

I: Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Is there, will it be offered again next semester?

C: U::m, Korean 1, 2, or 3?

I: The next level after you—

C: Oh, Korean 4? Yep. Yes, it is going to be offered. I’m not taking it because I, I can’t fit it into my schedule with trying to graduate early, so. I probably would if I could fit it in.

I: And what about your sister? Will she take it? Or is she also going to graduate early.

C: Um, she’s, she’s also graduating early so she’s not going to be taking it.

I: Mm-hm.

C: But it was fun for the three semesters.

I: But you’re done now?

C: Yeah.

I: Yeah, well that’s exciting.

C: Yeah.
