여러분… Have you ever eaten Korean pizza?

Not related to the lesson, but…who takes the pics for your lessons. They’re very good.

In my old neighborhood, there was a place called Pizza School. Pizza was 5,000원!!! It was about a medium size! There are some places like that scattered around, but by and large, pizza is REALLY pricey here. I’ve grown accustomed to the corn, and I love potato pizza, but my biggest complaint is that Korean pizzas have so little tomato sauce!

So corn pizza isn’t a myth….?

존 thanks for the interesting YT link.
Wow that pizza has too much corn. I like corn, but not with pizza ^^. And Hot Dog on the pizza?!!!! no no no,that’s way too much! ㅋㅋㅋ

I found this cute korean pizza commercial. The kids are really cute.

There are more korean Pizza commercials in youtube, just search there if you’re interested.^^

Corn might be OK, but I’m worried about the mayonnaise… on a pizza ???

But korean pizza look like they have a nice spirit to them : open the fridge and just put whatever’s in there on bread dough !

Hehe

저도 피자 정말 좋아해요, but … it’s too expensive, and except for some really cheap ones, you have to gather people to go to a pizza shop

If you ever come to Korea and need someone to share your pizza with, let me know! Haha

Haha. 비빔밥 피자 … I haven’t seen that one 아직 못 봤어요 ^_^

Yes, it is (from my perspective)….and it even makes me feel weird to adress my coworkers by anything other than “ㅇㅇㅇ선생님.” But Koreans still do it, so I figure I have to get over it!

There is another respectful word for you… “당시”

It means the same thing as 너 but you can say if without worrying. But it really isn’t all that common in speech. You can find it on lots of print advertisements. I think it’s also used often in love letters.

Shan ssi,

Q1 :
You can speak freely without particles except some cases that they are surely needed in the context.

너는 피자를 먹어? -> 너 피자 먹어?

2nd one is more natural in spoken Korean.

Q2:
You can use 선생님 or 그쪽 분 in that cases.
Korean people don’t call someone’s name directly when he/she is not familiar.

You can use his or her official titles such as, 사장님, 이사님, 부장님, 과장님, 대리님, 실장님…etc.

and if he or she is much older than you then may call them 어르신.

German Pod 101 is out! Go to:
germanpod101.com

I will listen to this lesson now! Bye!

and yes! particles are often dropped in speech. We chose to not use particles in this series, or try not to use particles… because the sentences work without particles!

thanks for all the great answers to the question manyak and austin

When is Gaelic Pod coming out?

Austin,

당신 is used as a term of endearment (like “honey” but not really 여보 which feels very old-fashioned to me) between couples. It is also like 너 but it is honorific/polite. You can also use it to refer to a third person who is of a higher respect level. It can also refer to God, somewhat like “thou”; it has an intimate/formal feel to it.

Wow, there are so many people here who learn multiple languages simultaneously?? How do you manage?

By the way, I get the impression that most here are in their 20s? I’m 31 this year, I feel like an ,아줌마, compared to all the youngsters here!

It’s great because you all get to be 형’s and 누나’s

그렇네요.당연하지만 자신이 아줌마라고 잘 알았어요.그렇게 아줌마나 아저씨는 나쁘네요..이제 이해할 수 없어요.감사했습니다.안녕.
もうここには来ません。お世話になりました。このコメントは削除してくださって結構です。ただ、ちょっと言いたかっただけなので。それではお元気で。

OH GOD!!! did that pizza (the 1st YT link) go in the microwave on high for 15 minutes?????

I can probably get use to the mix of ingredients but….microwaved Pizza??? 진짜????

I am also surprised to see so much processed food on a Korean dish (hot dogs, plastic cheese, ketchup….). Is Korean pizza also qualified as junk food?

I am going to my kitchen to make this. I can probably find Korean sweet potatoes in my local supermarket and I will invite my American friends for a taste test…..it should be a pretty good fun…..Aigoo, life is good!

@Shan: Haha I don’t think ur the only one…I am 13 yrs old tho .great podcasts they have here

^ Thank you so much ..어서오세요
