24/7 Ramen Shop with NO EMPLOYEES | 무인라면카페
In Korea there are thousands of stores that sell ramen. In fact, many larger convenience stores will let you cook the ramen there after you purchase it. But only a few stores in Korea do all of this without a single employee, and are open 24/7. We went to one of those places and gave our own review.
This video was not sponsored. We simply wanted to eat ramen and thought the concept sounded cool. But should you visit there? That's up to you.

I tried to find out about my grandfather at the War Memorial of Korea (전쟁기념관)
The "War Memorial of Korea," which is located in Seoul, is more than it appears on the outside. And even on the outside, this place is HUGE. It's a gigantic three-story building surrounded by statues (which themselves are also more memorials). But it's even bigger on the inside of the building.
Each floor covers a separate part of the war. The bottom level was our favorite, which showed historical wars. Some of the ancient war information was really interesting, as you can see in this video. The second level was specifically the Korean War, and the third level was related to the UN.
I visited together with 샘물 from the channel "Your Korean Saem," and we spent over two hours exploring the memorial - barely even seeing half of what it had to offer. If you're planning to visit this memorial make sure to allow at least two hours to walk around briefly, or more if you'd like to stop and take a better look at some of the things on display.

Short Quoting Forms | Live Class Abridged
This past Sunday we had our last live Korean class for this month (until I return from Korea), and the topic was Short Quoting Forms.
The regular quoting forms include forms such as ~다고 and ~라고, but there are also shorter versions of these including ~대요 and ~래요 (and more).
During the class we covered all of these, how they work, how they were shortened, and also covered the verbs 주래요 vs 달래요.

Here's what they said. But why are YOU learning Korean? Let me know here, or in the video's comments sections.

Korean Days: 하루, 이틀, 사흘, 나흘...| Korean FAQ
The most common way to count days in Korean is using the counter 일 with Sino-Korean numbers (일, 이, 삼...), but there's also a second system that uses Pure Korean words (하루, 이틀, 사흘...). These aren't all necessary to learn, but you might want to know a few of them which are especially common.

My bilingual son and I went to the Hangul Museum | 국립한글박물관
Seoul is home to several museums, one of which is the "National Hangeul Museum" that displays historical artifacts and history about the Korean alphabet.
It was my first time visiting, and I brought my kid together so he could check it out too. We also spoke only in Korean during our visit.

How much Korean should you study every day? | Korean FAQ
I often get asked how much Korean a person should be studying every day in order to learn Korean effectively.
The answer isn't so simple, since it depends on each person's situation and their goals.
In this episode I talk about how much I'd recommend, as well as some more and less effective study methods.
