My Son Reacts to a REAL Korean Food Alleyway
Tongin Market is an outdoor marketplace in Seoul that's kind of like a pay-as-you-go buffet, where you choose only what you want from several of the vendors in a long alleyway. One thing that makes this place unique is that you can also pay using traditional coins, called 엽전, which makes the experience more memorable and fun. I went there together with my son and we ate until we were full, and then ate some more. (This video is not sponsored.)

Why Small Talk is Different in Korea - Understanding the Culture
This is an aspect of Korean culture I had to learn over time, but Koreans typically don't initiate small talk (or appreciate it) the same way that we do in the US and in many other countries. However, there are many situations where you can do it, and even when they'd appreciate it, but you'll have to learn those before attempting them in order to avoid making others uncomfortable.
I met with Gillian 쌤 and we discussed how to do small talk in Korea, and when to avoid it completely in today's newest "A Glass with Billy" episode.

The Truth About Learning Multiple Languages at Once
Over the years I've heard of people learning multiple languages at once, including Korean. While there are some downsides, this is more common than you may think. For example, there are thousands of people who are learning Korean every day through English, but whose native language is not English. In these cases, what should you know before trying this? Are there any major downsides to be aware of? Are there any benefits? I met with Hyunwoo and we discussed our experiences learning multiple languages, and what we'd recommend to others who are in this situation.

Thinking 생각하다 | Live Class Abridged
To say "to think" requires knowing the Plain Form, and using it together with ~고 and the verb 생각하다. This form is different than using the 것 같다 form we learned previously, which also means "to think." In this lesson I summarize when and where to use both forms.
