Channeling our inner percussionists at our Salmunori workshop last night and learning to make noise... the traditional way! 🥁 🪘 🔥 Thank you, Ellen, for the amazing overview! Samulnori (사물놀이) is a traditional Korean musical genre rooted in vibrant rhythms and dynamic performances. The term ”Samulnori“ translates to ”playing four things,“ referring to the four primary percussion instruments used: • Kkwaenggwari (꽹과리; small gong): Represents lightning. • Janggu (장구; hourglass drum): Symbolizes rain. • Buk (북; barrel drum): Stands for clouds. • Jing (징; large gong): Represents wind. These instruments work together to create lively and intricate rhythms inspired by Korea’s traditional agricultural festivals and ceremonies, particularly designed to honor nature and the harvest cycle. While its origins lie in rural farmer‘s music (농악), Samulnori was reimagined in the late 20th century by musician Kim Duk-soo (김덕수) and his ensemble. This modernized version is typically performed on stage, blending traditional rhythms with contemporary showmanship. The genre is celebrated for its energetic beats, physical movement, and cultural significance, making it a captivating art form that bridges Korea’s past and present. @LanGo Institute #samulnori #사물놀이 #농악 #koreantraditionalmusic

The first stop on our LanGo Abroad Spanish Immersion in Spain! 📍Madrid

Great turnout for both workshops in our Linguist’s Toolkit for Language Learners series this month: Affix & FX! — Approaches to ”Irregularity“ and Linguistic Variation in Spanish — Exploring Spanishes Around the Globe. Affix & FX! — Approaches to ”Irregularity“ The goal of this workshop was to provide language learners with the tools to deal with “irregularity.” Phenomena in language that people call “irregular” are in fact perfectly regular, they are just governed by special, exceptional rules. In this workshop we looked at special processes in English, Korean, Spanish, French, and German. Linguistic Variation in Spanish — Exploring Spanishes Around the Globe At LanGo, we find linguistic variation endlessly fascinating because it showcases the diversity within languages and offers rich linguistic, social, cultural, historical, and personal insights for language learners. In this workshop, we went on a global exploration of linguistic features (pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar) that vary across Spanishes spoken all over the world. We hope everyone learned a lot! Join us for the next set of workshops in our Linguist’s Toolkit for Language Learners series 🔜, during our upcoming Fall II session.

Hot off the press: our Spain guides! 🔥 With pulchritudinous cover art by @trinitypoints. Many months of teamwork went into this beauty and we hope they’ll be an excellent resource for our upcoming language & culture immersion trip. Spain LanGoers will get their copies on-site next week! 🌍🚀

That’s a wrap on Summer Spanish Camp with our Lil’ Langaroos! 💙🧡

Scenes from our “Compound Interest for the Language Learner” workshop this weekend! 😍 Compound words are what we call words that are made up of smaller meaningful parts which are themselves also words (and not merely prefixes or suffixes): “cellphone” is made up of “cell” added to “phone”. We find such words endlessly fascinating because they illustrate the odd linguistic arithmetic of 1+1=1. In this workshop, we first went on a fun word-watching tour through some of the LanGo team’s favorite compound words and then analyzed different types of compound words in German, Korean, Spanish & Roviana. Accruing some compound interest too? Join us for the next linguistics for language learning workshop in our upcoming fall session!

K-food and karaoke celebration! 🥘🍻🎤
