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.

Maybe you want to speak Korean with your family from Seoul?

En: Jiho and Sora arrived at Seoraksan National Park. Ko: 가을의 산은 눈부시게 아름다웠습니다. En: The autumn mountain was dazzlingly beautiful. Ko: 나무들은 노랗고 빨갛게 물들어 있었고, 신선한 공기가 폐 깊숙이 들어왔습니다. En: The trees were colored yellow and red, and the fresh air filled their lungs deeply. Ko: 두 사람은 추석을 맞아 함께 시간을 보내기로 했습니다. En: The two had decided to spend time together for Chuseok. Ko: \"여기 정말 아름답다! En: \"It's really beautiful here!\" Ko: \" 소라가 말했습니다. En: Sora said. Ko: \"오늘 음식 축제에서 맛있는 전통 음식을 먹을 생각에 벌써 기대돼. En: \"I’m already excited to eat delicious traditional food at the food festival today.\" Ko: \"\"맞아. En: \"That's right.\" Ko: \" 지호는 조금 불안해 보였습니다. En: Jiho looked a bit uneasy. Ko: \"나는 쉬운 여행이 될 줄 알았어. En: \"I thought it would be an easy trip. Ko: 하지만 조금 불안해. En: But I’m a little nervous.\" Ko: \"두 친구는 사람들이 모여 있는 곳으로 향했습니다.

En: However, the crowd began to move deeper into the mountain. Ko: 지호와 소라는 그들이 하이킹 그룹에 합류했음을 깨달았습니다. En: Jiho and Sora realized that they'd joined a hiking group. Ko: \"이게 맞는 길일까? En: \"Is this the right way?\" Ko: \" 지호가 말했습니다. En: Jiho said. Ko: \"아마 우린 조금 잘못 해석한 것 같아,\" 소라가 웃으며 대답했습니다. En: \"Maybe we misunderstood a bit,\" Sora replied with a laugh. Ko: 길을 따라 걷다 보니 숲이 더 깊어졌고, 오르막길이 시작됐습니다. En: As they walked along the path, the forest grew denser, and an uphill path began. Ko: 지호는 힘들어 보였습니다. En: Jiho looked tired. Ko: 그의 얼굴에는 땀이 맺혔습니다.
