Our regularly scheduled Beginner Lesson will continue next week
Our recording was originially intended for November 11th (11/11). So in the audio, when Keith and Seol speak of “today,” they are talking of November 11th. How was everyone’s Pepero Day? 고백 받았던 분이 있으세요? (Did anyone receive a confession of love?)

One of the copycat brands in Korea for 빼빼로 is “Youna(유나)”, and my sister’s name happens to be 윤아(Yoon-a), so yesterday she came back home with three big boxes of the copycat 빼빼로 with her name(or something silimar to it) written all over on them.

Interesting topic today. I did some research about Pepero Day and found this:

우와!! 빼빼로의 노래!!무척 귀엽네요
일본에도 빼빼로와 비슷한 일본 과자 ‘포키’ 가 있어요.^^
실은 검색해서 아까 처음 알았지만, 일본에서도 한국보다 5년 늦게 같은 11월 11일에 에자키 그리코가 “포키&프리츠의 날”을 만든 것 같아요.

아래 링크는 포키의 코머셜이에요.
좀 창피하지만요.^^

Would be nice to be able to see and hear the teaching at the same time ….

Tuesday at 8:50 am
Ohh, is 빼빼로 similar to Japanese Pocky?
Tuesday at 11:09 am
비누, Kasey!
Yeah, I hadn’t made that link until I read your posts! I suppose 빼빼로 and Pocky are pretty similar, if not the same. I know Pocky comes in many different flavours, but I’m not sure about 빼빼로…
All I know is I got a lot of 빼빼로 from my students yesterday and Friday. Gotta love chocolate!
Tuesday at 11:10 am
wow!! I’d like a kobek… from a cute Korean guy
it sounds really fun and a romantic way day!
I need to find me some peppero
Tuesday at 12:48 pm
같은 코멘트를 2개나 보내 버려서… 정말 죄송합니다 ㅠㅜ
Tuesday at 1:26 pm
비누님… 코맨트를 많이 해주셔서 우리 감사하죠
Jonah, thanks for the feedback. What do you mean specifically? Are you looking for a video?
And yes 빼빼로 is like Japanese “Pocky”
Daniel, Enjoy your 빼빼로 ^^
Tuesday at 1:31 pm
Daniel님 안녕하세요
정말 멋진 빼빼로 데이를 보내셨네요.너무 부러워요.^^
전 초콜릿을 아주 좋아하니까 빼빼로 언젠가 먹고 싶어요~.^^
Tuesday at 1:47 pm
Keith님
아..정말 감사해요…;;
전 koreanclass101.com 진짜 좋아하니까 앞으로도 잘 부탁드려요
Wednesday at 12:45 am
하하하… 비누 누나, 포키 CF 너무 웃겨요!!
Wednesday at 3:19 pm
현우☆
ㅎㅎㅎ 빼빼로 데이의 ’고백’을 상상하고 CF를 찾아 보았어요.^^ 빼빼로도 포키도 두근두근 하고 재미있는 CF네요

This is an example of why i don’t like romanization.
I thought the romanization for 빼빼로 was Ppaeppaero.
Thursday at 5:10 am
It’s a shame this lesson came so late. I would have gone down to my local korean shop and bought some.
I don’t mind romanisation. “imnida” is much easier to read than the korean version spelt with a b. And don’t forget delicious and not delicious. But both ways of writing korean words are equally unhelpful in my opinion
If only they had a logical spelling system like Japanese.
Thursday at 9:05 am
I think hanguel IS a highly logical spelling system!
The variants of consonants give you clues about the pronunciations:
ㄷ regular d/t sound
ㄸ double symbol (glottalized)
ㅌ (extra horizontal line = aspirated!
ㄱ regular sound
ㄲ double, so glottalized
ㅋextra horizontal line.. aspirated!
ㅂ regular sound
ㅃ double, glottalized
ㅍaspirated (ok, so theres not an EXTRA horizontal line.. but you get the idea
ㅈ,ㅉ,ㅊ same thing
But in any language, there are always exceptions to the rules… which explains why 습나다 has an /m/ sound instead of the /p/ or /b/ which is clearly how it’s spelled.
as for Japanese, I am very ignorant I didn’t know that hirigana is so logical.. can you explain what you mean?
Thursday at 10:39 pm
빼빼로송 너무너무너무 귀여워요!!!
아~ 귀엽다 귀엽다^^
그나저나,, 이번 빼빼로 데이에는
빼빼로 하나도 못받았어요..
I love the culture class most!
I wish you guys love this program~
Monday at 10:34 pm
Everyone please take another look at the PDF, some lost pictures are now found!

[…] Actually, in a different ranting vein, seems that all the holidays on the 14th of each month are kind of like Love Day. White day is another one of these holidays seemingly made by the chocolate companies in order to entice people to buy sweets and candies. […]
Monday at 7:58 am
omg!! i love those. they are so good!!!
Monday at 9:30 am
“Good to hear that you love the lesson~!!”
cheers,

I’m not sure where I read it, but Pepero day was a copy of Pocky day.
High School girls have Pocky(Pepero) sticks to their friends in hope they would grow to be tall and thin like a pocky stick.
But I read that Korea and other countries brought into this idea, and it only really became big in Korea. Japan did try, but it didn’t really work o-o
Sunday at 3:09 am
At our supermarket in the US we have Pocky, which is like Pepero.
Monday at 10:18 am
Right.
Pepero is really similar to Pocky, which is Japanese product.
