play a word game
Word games can be another fun activity to do with your father. Download Duolingo, make some coffee and bake some cookies and have fun with your dad while you learn a new language. Remember to include ‘Appa Salang Hyo’ – the Korean translation of ‘I love you dad’ in all the words and phrases you learn. The idea behind the game will undoubtedly make him feel special once he decodes the phrase.
