We found out this past week that my husband, who just joined the Army, will be stationed in South Korea for about three years. We just started a new year of curriculum so we are hoping that things will work in our favor and we can continue our homeschooling overseas.
We are excited as homeschoolers to visit other countries, learn of customs and cultures and more. We are lucky to have orders to South Korea where we can so easily and affordably travel to so many great countries that are nearby. Our families are excited to come and visit and to explore the area.
The children are a bit hesitant. The little ones don’t really understand what another country means but the teen of the family knows quite well and seems to have a fear of the unknown. While I want to validate his feelings I do want to help him get excited. We look up many pictures of the country and we have been learning as much about the culture as possible.
The children are currently in their second year of Spanish and I’m hoping that they can take on the Korean language. My understanding is that it is phonetically based so some find it to be one of the easier languages from that part of the world.
Anyway, we are off on a new adventure! Any tips, advice, words or wisdom or ideas are more than welcome. I will just add that we would appreciate it if your thoughts were of a positive nature. We need support, not doubt or trepidation!
