NEVER make this mistake when you come to Korea 😤

2024. 7. 30.

❤️ Hello Everyone !!!! ❤️

HAPPY (almost) AUGUST!!! We're so sorry the newsletter is one day late this week :( BUT it's better late than never right?!

Let's get right into this week's issue of Teugether! ☺️

What's trending in Korea

this week?! 🇰🇷

This is OBVIOUS im sure! BUTTTTT what's trending right now in Korea?! THE OLYMPICS of course!!!!

Actually this past week there was a bit of a controversy in Korea because the olympians when being announced they were called by french officials as "People's Democratic Republic of Korea" 😬 which is North Korea. South Korea is Republic of Korea so I GET the confusion but also.... people were quite angry

BUT nevertheless, we are always supporting all of our teams and proud of how many medals Korea has won (5 so far!!!!) ❤️

What country are you rooting for?!

What I find the funniest is...

In 2018, when we were supposed to be introducing France during the pyeongchang olympics, the RUSSIAN flag was shown... Honestly this just goes to show that mistakes happen sometimes & maybe France just wanted some revenge LOL 😅😅😅

Watch the video of the news!!!

Korean Slang of the week! 🍎

졌잘싸

This is the Korean slang that came about maybe 2 years ago?! But is now super commonly used!

It stands for:

젔지만 - even though we lost

잘 - well

싸웠다 - we fought

AKA: "even though we lost, we fought well" for when we lose a game/match but it was a good fight :)

Try using it in your own words ❤️

Korea travel hack!!! 💘

OKAY y'all are you ready, I know a TON of you are traveling to Korea and planning to in the future so listen up...

I CANNOT say this enough but GOOGLE MAPS doesn't work in KOREA!!!!!

So take my word for it and download Naver maps or Kakao maps and start making your list of places you want to visit ❤️ I use Naver Maps and it allows you to basically save things to different folders ex. Food, Bars and when you look at the map you can see everything you've saved nearby!!!

(p.s. check out what my map looks like) ➡️

Let me know if y'all want me to drop my food/drink/hobby recommendations on here or on our social media :D that might be fun

also this is my fav song rn if you're bored ⬇️

Ask Me Anything! 💘

THIS ONE's EASY

How do you say "What are you doing?" In Korean? Well, let me teach you!

What's up (casual) - 뭐해?
What are you doing (semi) - 뭐 해요?
What are you doing? (formal) - 뭐 하세요?

But it is most common to ask someone what they're doing in either the casual or semi way because the formal way is formal in terms of language but you wouldn't really ask a senior/boss what they're doing (culturally) lol...

submit your own question here

*if you want your name visible leave your name at the end*

How did you like this week's newsletter?! 🍎
