We shared a lot of brilliant ideas!!</p><p class="바탕글"> We debated over the issue of Hanja education in elementary school. Supporting group with Sun, Kory, Amelia, Danny thought that as more than 70% of Korean words originally consist of Hanja, it is critical t to better unerstand Korean language and widen vocabularies and it wouldn't be harmful for students given that there won't be such a test or official class but simply written Hanja together with Hangeul in text book. However opposing group with me, Harry, race argued that problem of Korean vocabulary that younger generation has is not about not knowing Hanja, but about not reading books. Learnig Hangeul itself better would be more helpful for students to strengthen their ability and itroducing Hanja education again is risking burdening more on their shoulder. </p><p class="바탕글"> We had a lot of fun as always and thank you guys for coming and hope to see everyone again on this coming Saturday!! </p></span><p> </p></span></font></font></font></span></span></font></font><p class="바탕글"><br></p><p class="바탕글"><br></p><p class="바탕글"><br></p><p class="바탕글"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><img class="txc-emo" src="http://i1.daumcdn.net/deco/contents/emoticon/things_12.gif?rv=1.0.1" border="0"> I</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">tinerary (Every Saturday morning 11:00~14:00) </span></strong></span></span></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><font color="#005766">1.
