Today is the first class in our new four class set. We will have a busy morning. We will start class with a translation exercise. I will provide some short messages in Korean and you will have to translate them into English. I also want to try and cover some African capitals. 

Our phrase of the week is, "embrace it." We use this phrase to show that we accept something. The most common example is, "You need to embrace the change." 

Today's reading is about a stringed instrument collector and our listening material is about a subway musician. This week we will have more phrases! Please listen for the phrases and try to make your own sentences.
