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.

En: One dazzling sunny day in the summer, Minjun and Eunseo were taking a walk under the summer sky of Gyeongju. Ko: 경주는 신라 시대의 유적과 유물로 유명한 도시다. En: Gyeongju is a city famous for its relics and artifacts from the Silla era. Ko: 최근 들어 민준에게 이상한 일이 일어났다. En: Recently, something strange happened to Minjun. Ko: 그는 갑자기 알 수 없는 병에 걸려 밤마다 악몽을 꾸었다. En: He suddenly fell ill with an unknown sickness and began having nightmares every night. Ko: 그의 증상은 전설과 비슷했다. En: His symptoms were similar to a legend. Ko: 그 전설은 사라진 신라의 왕자의 저주에 관한 것이었다. En: This legend was about the curse of a lost prince of Silla. Ko: 민준은 몇 주 전부터 이 병으로 고생하고 있었다. En: Minjun had been suffering from this illness for a few weeks.
