• Explore metaphoric and literal uses of speech
• Build self-expressive vocabulary
• Understand emotional shifts in language
• Practice future tense with strong declarative forms

💬 Final Words

Extraordinary You reminds us that language isn’t just something we speak—it’s how we reshape our fate, declare our truth, and step out of someone else’s story.

Next time, we’ll reflect with 'The One and Only', where Korean gently whispers about life, loss, and finding meaning in one person who truly matters.

Aloha to the one story that matters—이제부터는 내가 정할 거야. 🌌🌷
