    I can tell you from my study of Japanese and also from the minimal pairs Prof. Kim shared with us from Korean that this is a big one in any language study, for me as well. An example from Japanese are the words bridge and chopsticks. Both are 'hashi' in Japanese, but depending on if you emphasize the first or the last syllable gives the right meaning.

CP 10/9/20

Today I met with Marcia. She talked about how she is working on her applications for different graduate schools. She talked about how she applied to some schools in South Korea and other schools in Canada. She mentioned how it is exhausting to work on all these applications. I then started discussing with her how I always wanted to have a deep southern accent. She was shocked to hear this since she has always tried to overcome her accent in English. I talked to her about how it makes you sound different and adds diversity. After that, we ended up talking about the TEFL internship program and how she thinks Dr. Rios is a really good teacher. She thinks that his ability to understand where the students are coming from really makes him an effective teacher.
