I am finally done with all of my presentations and now I need to focus on final exams!
Doing presentations in Korea was really fun because everyone had to present in English and many of the Korean students were not advanced in speaking English. I thought this was a fun experience because usually I speak poorly compared to other students in America, so I felt more relaxed presenting with Korean students. At the same time, I was surprised at how many students could speak English well. I thought some students were funny because they would have different English accents because of where they learned. I thought it was weird how some Korean students had English accents. I think my favorite accent was the normal Korean accent followed by American.
Presenting in front of people who do not use English as their first language is a good experience to get better at speaking in a way that is easy to understand. I hope this will be good practice if I ever need to do business with international people. I think presenting in Korea related to my international business major, so I am happy. Now my international business skills will be so advanced when I return to Hawaii!

I think my grammar and vocabulary has gotten worse in Korea because of the way I speak to Korean people. A lot of times I only say certain words and do not use complete sentences, so now I am scared of writing when I return to Hawaii.
