VR-Book’s Release of VR Classic Fairy Tale Series

VR refers to virtual reality that uses computer graphics to create a simulated environment. The VR industry has developed at an increasingly fast speed and encompasses a broad part of our lifestyle. Among the components that construct metaverse, for example, augmented reality(AR), mixed reality(MR), VR is the most familiar one that is experiencing the most popularity. You can play sports, play a game, and meet people around the world through VR. This technology might still be very new to some Millennials or Gen Z but for Generation Alpha (born in 2000~) this technology will be very familiar in the influx of VR educational content targeted for them. Now, VR technology stepped its foot into the fairy tale realm. 

VR content production company VR Book Co., Ltd. (CEO Jeong Young-sun) announced on the 15th that it plans to release a “VR classic fairy tale series” for children. 

The series that announced its release is a combined educational content that unites the genre of classic fairy tales and virtual reality (VR). The VR classic fairy tale series, which features a unique sense of immersion and vitality, goes beyond simply reading fairy tales or watching flat animations where main characters defeat the wolves or explore whales’ stomachs.

The content will be composed of five world-loved fairy tales, including “Three Little Pigs”, “Jack and the Beanstalk”, “The Bremen Town Musicians”, and “Pinocchio (upper and lower volumes)”, providing both value and enjoyment. Language support is also provided in various language versions such as English, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese which helps children to acquire language naturally.

Meanwhile, VR-Book which has been in the VR education business since 2015, plans to produce a total of 26 VR classic fairy tales, starting with the release of the current VR classic fairy tale series.

Chung Young-sun, CEO of VR Book said “The genre of virtual reality can be outstanding in the field of education as one can immerse oneself in fun. I believe VR classic fairy tale series could arouse interest to children who are uninterested in studying.”

It seems like a great strategy to use VR Book to draw attention to rather unpopular studying topics from students. Since the “VR classic fairy tale series” support 4 languages it will be a good language learning experience too. 

VR enables children to enjoy learning. Thus, it can be seen that VR-Book opened a great possibility for an educational industry that can be far more enjoyable. VR technology’s future seems very exciting and promising. We will have to see how far it can go but it is a great sign that metaverse can exist to serve in both entertainment and educational ways. You can enjoy VR-Book’s content on its YouTube channel too.

The Reason Why ‘LEARN KOREAN IN KOREAN’ is the Best Korean Learning Service

From the movie Parasite winning the Best Picture Oscar to the rise of BTS and Squid Game, people across the border are fascinated by Korean entertainment productions. The Korean wave does not seem to disappear but rather gain more popularity as time goes by.

If you suddenly got interested in learning Korean recently but were discouraged by the difficulty it carries, I’m here to bring you a good solution. ‘LEARN KOREAN IN KOREAN’ is a very effective Korean learning service made by an amiable Korean teaching expert.

Currently, it has 130,000 YouTube channel subscribers and 70,000 Instagram followers and is also developing online Korean classroom web/app services.

Tae-Seong Kim, CEO of LEARN KOREAN IN KOREAN said, “There are more than 100 million potential foreign learners. Even if they don’t come to Korea in person, I want to provide enough learning opportunities in offline classes which is the main purpose for the program’s development. Learners’ responses are also very positive and learning Korean without using English or Roman characters leads to a better understanding of the meaning. Several comments state that one truly likes this immersive education method, and one has learned Korean through several paid apps, but watching one or two LEARN KOREAN IN KOREAN videos was much more helpful. Whenever I see such comments, I gain strength”, he added.     

He has more than 10 years of experience in Korean language education for foreigners. “More than 90% of foreign learners are from non-English, and most foreign Korean learners are unable to learn Korean due to the lack of English proficiency. We have launched an online Korean language education service to ensure equal opportunity for everyone around the world to have the right to learn” he said.

In addition, “LEARN KOREAN IN KOREAN” reflects the characteristics of Korean that vary subtly depending on the relationship and situation between the speaker and the listener, allowing them to speak Korean without awkwardness subject to the situation.

In particular, a Korean language education program that can be applied directly to real-life was created with examples of sharing situations such as informal speech, honorifics, formal conversations, and formal presentations that foreigners tend to have difficulty distinguishing. This prevents confusion that sets off from the difference between the Korean language learning through the Korean textbooks centered on written language and the Korean spoken in their daily life, and it eventually makes them feel confident in speaking Korean. In particular, it is expected to be useful for married migrant women, foreign workers, and international students who need to apply Korean directly to their daily lives.

At last, it will expand its service by establishing an AI automatic evaluation system that automatically evaluates learners’ Korean speech in real-time. Check out the YouTube channel!

Take a Deep Breath

Before you do anything, take a deep breath. Receiving a rejection letter from a first choice university can be crushing for your whole family but remember it was your child who has been working for this, so they may be the most effected, you don’t want your grief or panic to further a sense of shame from your child. It is best to stay positive, relax, maybe have a cup of tea and plan  a family meeting for the next day. It may feel like the sky is falling but it is not, there are still plenty of options for a successful educational path for your child. Some families even take a year off to reassess their educational plans. Once everyone has calmed down a little, listen to your child, find out what they want to do next; at the end of the day it is their future.

Way Your Options
It is important to know there are still options. One obvious option is your child’s back up school. What was their second pick and how does it compare to the first? Perhaps it was an equally good education but in a slightly less desirable location, maybe it was more money than you had hoped to spend, or maybe your child wanted to go to the same school as his friends. Decide what the reasons are for it being second, how important are these reasons and will they drastically effect your child’s future? If you can live with your second pick school there is nothing wrong with enrolling, that is why you called it your second pick. If you want to keep trying for your first school, it is still possible through an appeal process. With the help of experts such as Simpson Millar, filling an appeal can be a viable option. Though it is never guaranteed you will get admitted after appeal it is possible and at the very least you will receive more information on why your child was not accepted to their first choice for university.

So whether you decide to appeal the decision from the school, go head first into your child’s second choice school, or take a “gap year” for you and your child to  think on it, there are still plenty of options even when your child does not get into their first choice for university. So keep you head up and chances are you will all be laughing about this come graduation day.
