01. How do you tell someone โMy Korean isnโt very goodโ or I canโt speak Koreanโ? โญ
This is a great question and Iโm sure a phrase that most of you wonโt need (because your Korean is obviously so good already?!?!?!) but IN CASE you stumble upon a situation that you donโt know what to say you can use these phrases! ๐
- ํ๊ตญ๋ง ์ ๋ชปํด์ (์ฃ์กํฉ๋๋ค) - ( han-guk-mal jal mot-hae-yo (cwe-song-ham-ni-da)
- This phrase means: My Korean isnโt very good (Iโm sorry).
Another great one (because I know you guys are good at Korean ๐) would be:
- ์ฒ์ฒํ ๋ง์ํด์ฃผ์ค ์ ์์ผ์ธ์? - cheon-cheon-hi mal-sseum-hae-ju-shil su it-ssu-sae-yo?
- This phrase means: Can you speak a little slower?
If you want to use a combination of the two, you can say: ํ๊ตญ๋ง ์ ๋ชปํด์ ์ฒ์ฒํ ๋ง์ํด์ฃผ์ค ์ ์์ผ์ธ์? Which means โIโm not so good at Korean, can you speak slower?โ
Hope that helped!!! |

02. Can you teach us Korean slang?
I LOVE slang questions~ Letโs learn a slang word that you can use on the daily ๐
๊ด์ข
(gwan-jong)
This is one of those abbreviated slangs that Koreans LOVE to use! Letโs break it down to understand the meaning:
- ๊ด (short for ๊ด์ฌ) which means interest or attention
- ์ข
(short for ์ข
์) which means species or kind (of person)
Put together, it would mean a kind of person who wants attention! In other words, an attention seeker. Of course you can use this as an insult but it is also lighthearted when it is between friends or when the situation calls for it. If you are laughing at your friend who seems to be really really outgoing โ like dancing on a table at a bar or something you can be like omg youโre such a ๊ด์ข
!!! *In the most loving way possible please donโt use this to insult others or make people feel small!!!!!

03. This might be a little weird, but I wanted to know about wedding dresses in Korea. Here in the US itโs common that we buy our dresses and keep them as keepsakes. I was just wondering how common that is in Korea because Iโve heard that they rent their dresses, and I wasnโt sure. โค๏ธ
Great question!!!
So wedding culture in Korea is SUPER different from wedding culture in the US (from my understanding). While people do value the institution of marriage a lot, the culture of being quick and efficient in Korea really seeps into the wedding culture as well! So, people have photoshoots before the actual wedding (so they donโt have to waste time during the ceremony) and during these photoshoots they rent and wear multiple styles of dresses to get the most pictures possible!
As for the ceremony dress, from my understanding most people do rent them out because it is just more financially efficient โ also there isnโt as much meaning tied to the dress itself as holding a memory. BUT some people definitely do buy their dress and would keep it as a memory (me being one of them)!!! But if you guys want a more detailed newsletter about wedding culture and the differences from the US, I can talk about this FOREVER! So let me know :)
