There are a lot of ghosts in Korea, and just as many misconceptions about them. I wanted to talk about some of the most common ghosts and share which one’s my favorite. I also brought in a ghost expert (my son) to talk about some more obscure Korean ghosts.

Also by the way, there are only 3 more episodes left in Season 1 of my podcast. What do you think? After staying in Korea for a few months I’ll return with Season 2.

After analyzing all eight members of Stray Kids, I decided to try (for my very first time) making an analysis about some song titles and lyrics. I analyzed the hidden meanings behind several of Stray Kids’ Korean album titles, and took a deep look into their lyrics in the song “Charmer.”

This episode is about the Hanja 환 (換), which means “change.” I give several of the most common examples of words that use this Hanja, where it comes from, and how to recognize it.

I often get asked where is the best place to stay in Seoul as a tourist. While there are pros and cons to each place, there’s no single best answer. Typically 명동 is recommended for its location, or 홍대 for its nightlife, and more. I talk about each area, as well as ask an expert to share his recommendations, in today’s newest episode of my Korean learning podcast “Into Korean.”

I recently made another update to my textbook and workbook series, fixing some annoying typos, as well as updating some details that have changed over the past few years (like how to deal with Korean age!).

I have three textbooks and three (completely optional) workbooks, and they all go in order and together to help bring someone from the very beginning up to a basic conversational level. I made this video to re-announce the books and share what’s inside.

Korean can be difficult to learn due to a few reasons, but it doesn’t have to be! We compiled tips for TEN of the top things that can make learning Korean tricky, so hopefully these will be a bit easier.

We’ve done it! Here’s the final episode in my Stray Kids analysis series, and this time I took a look at the youngest member I.N and showed why I think his Korean speech sounds so mature.

Every time I visit Korea I make several important purchases – souvenirs to bring back home, things I need and use regularly, and other interesting items that are only sold in Korea. In this episode we share some of the most useful items for tourists to buy when they visit Korea.

It’s time for Seungmin’s turn! I took a look at all eight members of the group Stray Kids, and I’ve been making a separate video for each member. In this episode I talk about Seungmin’s soft voice, his unique voice tone, his dialect (yes!), and even look at his handwriting.

Keykat is learning how to bow, but seems to be having a hard time. I hope that our friend can help her out.

This lesson is about using the forms ~고 가다 and ~고 오다, which aren’t about “going” or “coming” somewhere but are used for talking about action verbs. There’s also a review about using the verb ~고 with action verbs.
