They tore out the street in front of the palace!

Gwanghwamun Plaza (광화문광장) was recently renovated and they added a gigantic underground museum! I got to explore the new plaza and underground museum, all while wearing Hanbok (한복) together with 안나데이즈. Check out our guided tour!

Time Words 동안, 아까/방금, 이따/나중, 얼마/얼마나... | Live Class Abridged

I'll be going to Korea in a couple of weeks! Last Sunday was the final Korean classroom for the summer, until sometime in August after I return from Korea.

During this class I taught about several basic time words - words that are used when talking about the time. Some of these include 동안, 아까 and 방금, 지금 and 이제, 나중에 and 이따(가), and many more. Here's the summarized version of the class.

기대하다 vs 기대되다 What Do You Expect? | Korean FAQ

Two commonly misused words I hear are 기대하다 and 기대되다, and I've often been asked to explain their differences.

I compiled all of the differences between 기대되다 and 기대하다 in today's newest Korean FAQ episode. Most of these videos come from suggestions from channel members, Patreon supporters, and viewers.

Why V’s “Taetae language” is IMPOSSIBLE to translate | BTS Analyzed

Taetae language is what fans sometimes jokingly call V's style of speaking, as it can be his own language that's difficult to translate. As a result, this video became longer than expected.

In this episode I analyze the famous V Taetae language, his overall Korean speaking, his dialect, and more! Only one more episode left in this series, and you all know who it is.

Numbers 째 & 번째 | Live Class Abridged

There's only one more live Korean classroom left until I take a break for the summer to visit Korea. I'm planning to resume classes later in August.

Also while I'm gone in Korea I'll try to do a few regular live streams here and there. Any recommendations for where in Korea I should do a live stream from?

This pork cutlet will KILL YOU!

I still don't know why anyone would purposefully want to go here and eat it, but I did. I met up with Natalia Garza and we attempted to eat the spiciest tonkatsu in Korea. No, actually it's the spiciest tonkatsu in the world - by far.

Again, why did we do this? Who would do this to themselves? Well, we did.

Do You Remember? 기억하다 vs 기억나다 | Korean FAQ

기억하다 and 기억나다 are two verbs that mean "to remember" that are commonly used incorrectly, so I wanted to clarify how they're different.

Both 기억하다 and 기억나다 are commonly used, and both translate as "to remember," but have different meanings and uses. In this video I explain how to use each of them, and how they're different.

Future Tense 것이다 vs 겠다 | Live Class Abridged

My most recent live Korean class was about the Future Tense forms 것이다 and 겠다, and how they're used differently. Both can be used to mean the future, but 겠다 can also be used when making assumptions about things in any tense.

There are only TWO remaining live classes before my summer trip to Korea, and then we'll go on break until the fall.
