Simple Korean Survival Phrases!

Korean language is becoming a popular language to learn these days, thanks to the rising KPOP music industry as well as the Korean dramas, movies and variety shows which have overtaken the JPOP era.

I have compiled some of the common phrases that you might hear or need to use when you encounter with the locals. It's a short lesson that will suffice for getting around in Korea.

One of the important thing to note about the language is that it comes in formal and informal manner. Formal manner (jondaemal 존대말) is often used when speaking to people who are older than you or to strangers. It's a commonly used form to show respect during the conversation. The informal manner (banmal 반말) is only used with those who are close to you. It signifies closeness if used with people of same age or younger than you but it's disrespectful to use it when speaking with those who are older than you. Therefore, it will be more appropriate to learn the Formal Manner of Korean language for a start.

A Visit to the Hallyu City (Part II)

I'm back with more travel goodness on Seoul! For those of you who may have missed out the previous post, check out A Visit to the Hallyu City (Part I). One of the reasons, I'm splitting up my trip into several posts is that it may be too much to put all of it in a single post. (Definitely too tiring to keep strolling too ツ )
