I met with Father John for the second time at his house. We
went straight to reciting the Roman Missal, which I learned that that’s what
they use at his church, no Bibles or any other books. We recited more lines
from the Roman Missal. Again, he has a noticeable accent but I can understand
him without major problems, and there are words that he has problems pronouncing.
I think the biggest challenge for him today was getting him to make a ‘v’ sound; I
think this is because the ‘v’ sound doesn’t exist in Korean. Halfway through, I
decided to change things up a bit: I would have him read a sentence the first
time so I can hear his English without correction, read the sentence myself,
and he would repeat after me. If there is still any pronunciation errors after
that, I would focus on that. He still has problems with plurals and some words like saying ‘death’
as ‘dead’. Overall, this session wasn’t too different from the previous one and
I discussed with him that I want to focus on other fields such as writing and
listening.
