Since my last few lessons with Dojun focused not just on listening for comprehension, but listening for words and concepts, this week I tried to spice it up and had Dojun listen to music. I had Dojun listen to “Piano Man” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” and fill in missing words or phrases from the song lyrics I gave him. I made sure to pick certain words and phrases such as “gin and tonic” that may have been less familiar to Dojun. After listening I had Dojun read his complete lyrics to me, and tell me what the song was about. When I asked Dojun if he had heard these songs before I told me that “Piano Man “ is a very popular song in South Korea, but that before now he had never really focused on the lyrics or their meaning before. After going through our songs I had Dojun watch a clip from the television show Friends where Ross finds his “sound” playing keyboard. As per usual, Dojun was supposed to tell me in his own words what happened an answer a key listening question such as what animal noises are played during Ross’ sound.
