Title: Describe This Picture: Couple Taking a Selfie
Body:
From: http://www.talktomeinkorean.com
Talk To Me In Korean's "Describe this Picture" series most recent post by Hyunwoo Sun provides a detailed picture of a couple taking a selfie at a mall, along with a vocabulary list in English and Korean and sample sentences of how to describe this picture. There is also a 7-minute video for pronunciation practice that also provides a little bit of cultural information. You could use only the picture and the vocabulary list and have your students describe the photo on their own, or you could also provide the sample sentences and have students watch the video (or segments of the video) as well. Since this picture is of a couple taking a selfie, it could be a good gateway into a discussion about some cultural norms & differences of dating in South Korea.
