Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Korean, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Korean and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with. And our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who want to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to South Korea or North Korea? Maybe you want to speak Korean with your family from Seoul?

En: It was autumn, and the chilly winds blew as the leaves turned colorful. Ko: 본격적인 추석 준비가 시작되면서 기숙 학교 곳곳은 학생들로 분주했다. En: As the preparations for Chuseok began in earnest, the boarding school was bustling with students. Ko: 현수는 고개를 들여다보며 창밖을 바라보았다. En: Hyunsoo looked out the window. Ko: 바람에 흔들리는 나무들이 그리운 고향의 풍경을 떠올리게 했다. En: The trees swaying in the wind reminded him of the scenery of his beloved hometown. Ko: “추석은 우리 가족이 함께 보내는 시간이야,” 현수가 속으로 말했다. En: \"Chuseok is a time for our family to be together,\" Hyunsoo thought to himself. Ko: 그러나 그는 지금 가족과 떨어져 있었다. En: But now he was away from his family. Ko: 그때, 친구 지윤이 환한 미소로 다가왔다. En: Just then, his friend Jiyoon came up to him with a bright smile. Ko: \"현수야, 얼굴이 왜 그래? 추석인데 즐겁게 보내야지!\" 지윤이 말했다. En: \"Hyunsoo-ya, why the long face? It's Chuseok, you should enjoy it!\" Jiyoon said. Ko: 현수는 조용히 말했다. \"가족과 함께 전과 송편을 만들고, 보름달을 보며 소원을 빌어요. En: Hyunsoo quietly replied, \"We make jeon and songpyeon with my family and make wishes under the full moon. Ko: 이곳에선 어떻게 할 수 있을까요?\" En: How can we do that here?\" Ko: 지윤은 활짝 웃으며 말했다. \"우리 친구들과 함께 새로운 추석 전통을 만들어 보자! En: Jiyoon laughed broadly and said, \"Let's create a new Chuseok tradition with our friends! Ko: 다 같이 하면 더 재미있을 거야.\" En: It'll be more fun if we do it together.\" Ko: 현수는 지윤의 말을 듣고 조금씩 희망이 생겼다. En: Hearing Jiyoon's words, Hyunsoo started to feel a glimmer of hope. Ko: 시간이 많지 않았지만, 그는 결심했다. En: Though there wasn't much time, he made up his mind. Ko: 친구들을 불러 모아 준비를 시작했다. En: He gathered his friends and started making preparations. Ko: 먼저, 음식을 준비해야 했다.
