"Head and Shoulder Knees and Toes"♪ and Facial Parts in Korean! (11/13/11)

An-nyung(안녕), An-nyung-ha-se-yo(안녕하세요)!


Sorry for the late update, but here's the lesson we did last time with the KCOA Older Group! :)


Last class, we learned the song "Head and Shoulder Knees and Toes"♪ in Korean.
The song is called 머리 어깨 무릎 발♪ ("Mu-ri Uh-ggae Mu-reub Bal") in Korean and directly translated, it would be "Head Shoulder Knees Foot" in English.


We will perform this next time we meet at our annual Holiday Potluck Celebration so make sure you practice!!! We'll do awesome like last time when we performed 선녀와 나무꾼 (The Fairy and the Woodcutter) play!!


Below is the lyric to the song, so use it to practice with your parents! Don't forget the dance too! :)

Here's the link to the song online! So if you forgot how to sing it in Korean listen and use this video to practice -> 머리 어깨 무릎 발 (Head and Shoulder Knees and Toes) 

(It's a blog in Korean so don't get scared by all the Korean characters - look for the video in the page!)

Notice the tune of the song is same with the "Head and Shoulder Knees and Toes" in English version, so it should be easy! :)

We also learned the facial parts in Korean last class!

To recap:

얼굴 ("Ul-Gool") - Face

눈 ("Noon") - Eyes

코 ("Ko") - Nose

입 ("Ip") - Mouth

귀 ("Gui") - Ears

The following worksheets are from the last class. You can print them out and try them again to practice saying and writing 눈, 코, 입, 귀!! :)

↑ Practice saying and draw 눈, 코, 입, 귀 on the girl's face and connect them with the words! :)

Enjoy practicing Korean and make sure you practice for the 머리 어깨 무릎 발♪ performance!

Our performance is going to be:

1. Saying 안녕 "An-nyung" 안녕하세요 "An-nyung-ha-se-yo" to the audience

2. Performing (Singing/dancing) 머리 어깨 무릎 발♪ "Mu-ri Uh-ggae Mu-reub Bal" 

Practice rehearsing the performance with your parents!!!

and.....

Happy Thanksgiving!!! 즐거운 추수감사절 보내세요! :D

The Last lesson before Thanksgiving!

Hello, KCOA lovers!

Today, we started the class by reviewing how to say Hello in Korean!

Hello--> 안녕(An Nyoung)

And there is another way to say hello to older people in a respectful way,
안녕하세요. (An Nyung Ha Sae Yo)

We also made some amazing bookmarks!
We learned how to write our names and favorite things in Korean.

Do you all remember how to say, "I like..." in Korean?
Just in case you forgot,

I like...<==> ...좋아요. (Joh Ah Yo)

Some of your favorite things in Korean,

food: 음식 (Eum Sik)
candy: 사탕 (Sa Tang)
pomegranate: 석류 (Suk Ryu)
apple: 사과 (Sa Gua)
mommy: 엄마 (Um Ma)

After making bookmarks, we learned the song "비행기(airplane-Bee Hang Gi)"

These are the lyrics:)

떴다 떴다 비행기 날아라 날아라  

Rising Rising Airplane Fly away Fly away 

(Ddut da Ddut da Bee-hang-gi, nal ah ra, nal a ra)

높이 높이 날아라 우리 비행기

Higher Higher fly away Our aeroplane

(Nop pi nop pi nal ah ra, woo ri Bee-hang-gi)

I will miss you dearly!

Happy Thanksgiving:)

Mission Statement for KCOA:

Korean Cultural Outreach at Andover is a non-profit organization and part of the Community Service Program at Phillips Academy.  Our mission is to educate adoptive families in their adopted child’s natural culture, and to create an awareness and appreciation of Korean Culture within our community at large through general instruction in language, arts, and participation in cultural events.  We encourage family participation.

Korean Cultural Outreach at Andover (KCOA) is designed for families of adopted Korean children from age three and up, and for local families who are interested in learning about Korean culture and language.  Siblings are welcome.  Classes are held on bi-weekly Sundays from 3:30 -5:00pm on the Phillips Academy Campus and will begin in September - exceptions will be noted.  Phillips Academy students of Korean heritage instruct families in Korean culture, language, and writing.  Through traditional stories, customs, ceremonies, and language, families gain a better understanding and grounding in this wonderful culture.  Instruction groups are based on age and language exposure, and an adult class is also available and will review what children are learning and explore cultural themes in depth. 

Registration Fees:

A registration fee of $100 will cover this year’s educational materials.  There is a $25 fee for each additional child to participate, with a cap of $150 per family.

Dinner at Paresky Commons dining hall is available to families for a flat rate of $100/family. This meal plancovers 13 sessions throughout the yearlong program.  There are a total of 15 meetings for each group, two of which are potluck dinners.
