English learning that feels like play time for grandparents and grandkids

 Until June 30, the English learning program “Grand Talk” is accepting its first round of participants. The program is designed for grandparents and their grandchildren born between 2019 and 2020. Grand Talk offers a warm, interactive learning experience where grandparents and their young grandchildren can bond while naturally picking up English expressions through fun activities like crafting, cooking and dancing. A native English-speaking teacher will lead each class with the support of a Korean assistant teacher. This summer, the program will run at two HAHA centers: one in Haeundae-gu and another in Saha-gu, once a week for four weeks. - The HAHA Center in Jaesong-dong, Haeundae-gu District, will hold classes on Mondays from July 7 to 29. - The HAHA Center in Sinpyeong, Saha-gu District, will hold classes every Thursday from July 10 to 31. Participation is free of charge. Applications are open until June 30 via the official website linked below and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. ◎ Website: reserve.busan.go.kr-Apply for the Grand Talk program in Saha-gu: https://buly.kr/CLzWv0Q-Apply for the Grand Talk program in Haeundae-gu: https://buly.kr/GvnEQEo<Today's Vocabulary - 오늘의 단어>accept: 받다 participant: 참가자 grandparent: 조부모님 grandchildren: 손자녀 interactive: 상호적인 assistant: 보조Editor: Song SoomiCopy Editors: Ryu Hyoseung, Anton J.
