Speaking Korean With My Bilingual Son at the Korean Folk Village

Recently my 7 year old son and I visited the Korean Folk Village, known as 한국민속촌, which is located near Suwon in Korea. This time we took a tour around the village and spoke together in Korean, and show you what it's like if you visit there. (This was not a sponsored video.)

Thinking 것 같다 | Live Class Abridged

Here's how to say "to think," summarized from Sunday's live Korean class. The full live stream lasted around 2 hours, but the abridged version is just at 12 minutes.

Not only did I teach how you can use the 것 같다 form to say "to think," but I also reviewed conjugating adjectives to use with this form; you get two large separate topics in one simple video lesson.

We explored this abandoned amusement park in Seoul

Several decades ago there was a popular theme park in Seoul called Yongma Land (용마랜드) - at least until other parks opened nearby, and the park slowly decayed until it shut down permanently. None of the rides are still functional, and the park is no longer open to visitors. But you can still get inside with a ticket, and every day many do. I visited together with my friend Anna, and we explored the park to see what was still there, and what the purpose of the park is.
