AMA IS BACK~~~~ 💖

2024. 5. 27.

Why are Koreans SO obsessed w/ THIS?! 😅

Hello Everyone~! ❤️

Hope you're all having an amazzzing week and day !!! HAPPY ALMOST JUNE (can you guys believe it is already halfway through 2024) I CAN'T I FEEL LIKE the time is going so fast!!!! But, I hope that this serves as a check-in for your 2024 goals!

This week we will be continuing our AMA segment!!! (Ask me anything) As always, if you have anything you want to ask(no matter how random) ask it in the feedback form at the END of this newsletter! Enjoy~

01. How do you tell someone “My Korean isn’t good” or I can’t speak Korean”?

This is a GREAT question! I'm sure we've gone over a few versions of these but I thought it would be helpful for you guys to have a couple of phrases you can use in situations like this! (even though all of your Korean is good cuz of TEUIDA~ hehe)

1. 한국말 잘 못해요. (han-guk-mal jal mot-hae-yo)

2. 한국말 못해요. (han-guk-mal mot-hae-yo)

The difference between these two is the 잘 which means (good). The first sentence means "My Korean isn't very good" and the second one means "I can't speak Korean"

Both could be used but if you are just warning them I would use #1 and if you want to end the conversation by saying you don't speak English OR asking for another language then use #2!

3. 천천히 말씀해주실 수 있어요? (cheon-cheon-hi mal-sseum-hae ju-shil su it-na-yo?)

OKAY this one is for you advanced ppl. I know it is a long phrase but it is the longer version because this is the MOST polite way to say this. This phrase means "Could you speak slower please?" and some websites and textbooks will teach you: 천천히 말씀해 주세요 but it just means "Speak slowly please." Which is great! BUT I figured I would teach you guys the more polite version~

HOPE THAT HELPED 😋

02. Best Korean foods when feeling hungover?

I always forget you guys are the BIGGEST foodies!!! I love recommending new foods/recipes so let's get into it~ You can just try these anyways (don't have to be hungover HAHA)

Hangover Foods:

해장국 - hangover soup (no literally)
냉면- cold noodles
콩나물국 - bean sprout soup

As you can tell, we really like having soups/things with broth when hungover. I know this is so different from the states where it's all about the grease! But number 1 is so good because it is spicy hot, it's got the protein AND veggies. Here's a recipe :) let me know if you try it/PLEASE email me pics :)

Cold noodles being a hangover food is crazy I KNOW, but hear me out! A lot of people like eating them when hungover because it really wakes you up PLUS it isn't too spicy or strong of a flavor so it's easy on the stomach plus there is broth! PERSONALLY, I haven't tried this while hungover but let me know if you do! Recipe here:)

OKAY last but not least (because it is kind of my personal fav) IS bean sprout soup!!! This one is the same vibes as #1 because it is hot and you have it with rice BUT it is not spicy -- pretty mild and it doesn't have meat in it. I've found that this is the most hangover curing soup for me so let me know if you try it! Here's a recipe!!!

03. Could you recommend us a drama to learn Korean from (easy one please)?

I love doing these newsletters and I will make sure to do a drama themed one SOON but for now, I will give you a rec to start getting used to everyday Korean!

If you haven't seen it already, you guys have GOT to watch Welcome to Waikiki. I think this is a great starter drama and a good one to learn Korean because the phrases and the language they use is very everyday and I think would be very relevant to Korean learners !!! Unlike dramas that are hospital based or even north korea based LOL I think this one would be great~ Let me know how you like it!

04. Song of the Week
