What is the most ridiculous and unbelievable thing you heard recently that turned out to be true?👂 #fluentkorean #koreanculture #koreanidioms #koreanidiom #koreanvocabulary #koreanlanguage #koreangrammar #hanbokillustration #longtimenosee #hanbok
Stumbled upon this bookstore in Nice this week. Was pleasantly surprised to find a relatively large section of contemporary East Asian literature translated into French. Added a bunch of Korean books to my reading list and I'm looking forward to reading them (in English or Korean), especially the three in this reel. Also, I looked…

While I appreciate the what-goes-around-comes-around sentiment of this proverb, the true cost of war is not shouldered by those who decide to wage it. Not by a long shot. 🕊 #fluentkorean #northkoreanproverb #nowar #peace #karma #koreanculture #koreanvocabulary #koreangrammar #koreanproverbs #koreansayings #koreanlanguage #속담
I think it's really cool that information on all of the presidential candidates are sent to every household that is eligible to vote. March 9 is Election Day, but for people who can't make it then, early voting is from March 4 to 5, 2022. #fluentkorean #southkorea #presidentialelection2022 #votevotevote

An Ode to the #GlobalKoreanDiaspora During a recent family gathering, I showed a relative something that I'm really proud of - this IG account. As he read the bio aloud, "self-discovery in reconnecting with my roots," he laughed and said, "RE-connecting? Were you ever even connected to begin with?" My Korean has improved greatly over…
Wishing everyone health and peace of mind this Seollal! 새해 복 많이 받으세요~! 🐯 Happy year of the tiger! This year, Seollal is on February 1, 2022. This 매생이 떡만두국 or rice cake soup with dumplings and maesaengi (a kind of seaweed) is delicious! ❤️ #fluentkorean #seollal #lunarnewyear #yearofthetiger #koreanfood #koreanculture #떡국 #매생이떡만두국 #떡만두국
Tofu kimchi! 길고 긴 여행을 끝내 드디어 먹을 수 있는 집밥! 두부와 김치는 정말 환상의 조합이다. Traveling and trying out different food are great, but nothing beats a homecooked meal. I didn't realize just how much I missed my mom's cooking. It's been years! Also, my mother is living in the year 3000 with her…
공부하다가 입이 심심할 때 먹는 오징어 - made my first reel ever while making myself a snack of dried squid and gochujang 🐙 #fluentkorean #firstreel #driedsquid #koreanfood #koreanculture #구운오징어
On filial piety I recently came to Korea for the first time in a few years. Because we need to be extra careful during these difficult times, I am quarantining alone in what I thought would be an empty apartment. When I first walked in, I opened the refrigerator and was stunned to find that…
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🐯😽 It is not quite the lunar new year yet, but 2022 is the year of the tiger. I've written out my resolutions and the list of things I hope to accomplish, manifest, and explore this year, but I also want to make sure to remind myself that I'm allowed to change…
