There’s not a more convenient way to learn Korean with free online Korean lessons than with KoreanClass101.com! In today’s lesson, we’re stopping by a Korean convenience store(편의점) to pick up some typical Korean food. We’re hungry and ready to get some cheap Korean food on the go! There’s may be a lot of similarities with convenience stores with your country, but there are some things very specific to Korean convenience stores. So remember to watch our video and see the food that we’re talking about! And after watching, remember to stop by KoreanClass101.com and leave us a post!

저는 삼각김밥 너무 좋아해요!! :-)

Marcus says:

The 닭덮밥 looks intersting…but I’m not a fan of any type of 밥 that you cook in the microwave—it tastes like plastic!

Does 김치 now come in vacuum packs in Korea and no longer in glass jars? Does it taste better?

Shan says:

The 삼각김밥 looks really interesting. Do people really go to the 편의점 to buy microwavable food regularly?

Thanks for this lesson, it was very interesting. It was like a mini culture class too.. if I ever have the opportunity to go to Korea, I would look for a 편의점 just to get a 삼각김밥 and a free drink! :smile:

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Marcus :-)
I agree that nothing can beat home-cooked 밥!! Hehe :D
And I see more 김치 coming in plastic bags these days than in glass jars. :-) When I DO see some 김치 in glass jars displayed, which is not so often these days, I kinda feel like the glass jars are being wasted for such small amounts of 김치 … hehe :D

Shan :-)
” Do people really go to the 편의점 to buy microwavable food regularly? ” —-> YES!! :-) especially those who live alone :-) And it’s often cheaper than restaurants … so a lot of people who don’t want the luxury of going and sitting in a restaurant alone just go to a 편의점 and grab one or two 삼각김밥 with a drink :-) and it costs like .. 2000원, which is very cheap compared to a regular meal which is on average around 4000원 5000원 :-)

Jason says:

라면 좋아해요. 인스탄트 라면.
전복죽도 맛있어요. 샌프란시스코에서 전복이 싸요…
well, relatively speaking.

I really like these video vocab lessons. Keep them coming.

My compliments to the team putting the video together. It really comes out smooth. It keeps my interest and is easy to watch! :grin:

저는 picture video vocab 좋아해요. :razz: 사진 보면서 쉅게 이해할 수 있으니까요.저는 편의점에 그다지 안 가는 편이에요.작은 가게도 늦게까지 열려 있고 편의점보다 더 싸니까요..편의점에 가면 간결하게 정리되고 그 나라데 대해서 잘 알 수 있죠?편의점이라도 공짜나 1+1 있구나.. :shock:

Daniel K says:

삼각김밥 is great… it’s one of the first things I was told about when I came to Korea: if you ever need some food that is halfway between a meal and a snack, and that’s really cheap, get a 삼각김밥! My favourite flavour is the 비빔밥 ones.

Keith says:

Bouks… 꿀호박죽이 진짜 맛있어요!! 그냥 죽인데, 아주 달콤하고, 몸을 따뜻하게 만들어요. 기회 있으면, 꼭 드셔보세요!
(Honey Pumpkin porridge is really good!! It’s just porridge, but it’s very sweet, and it really warms you up. If you have a chance, be sure to try it out!)

Jason - Video Vocab을 좋아하셔서 다행이네요… 마약 공부하고 싶은것이 있으면, 꼭 부탁하세요 ^^
(We’re glad you like the Video Vocab… If there’s anything you’d like to study, please leave us a request :) )

Alicetown - 맞아요. 한국에서는 편의점보다 식당이 더 쌀 수도있어서, 더 겅강하게 먹을 수도 있고, 바로 마들었던 음식을 먹을 수 있잖아요 ^^ :mrgreen: 그런데, 편의점의 장점은… 편리한 것… ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

avatar
Keith says:

Daniel - I love it too :) Especially because 김이 너무 맛있으니깐. ^^ hehehe… I used to eat breakfast with just 김 and 밥 with nothing else in it. And having the other things in, are a nice bonus as well :)

avatar
Jeff (rooster) says:

haha!! ….melted cheese….LOL i laughed so hard, cause you sounded so serious :mrgreen:

OHHHHH and the alovera drink is soooo good, i always go to 한남재인 (the giant korean market close to my house) and i get like 6 bottles…and all teh koreans look at me like :shock: ….what the heck?!?!?!

avatar
Jeff (rooster) says:

btw

i would be cool if you guys did a video vocab of like school, or a classroom or something cause that would be really helpful…although i think im one of the few people here who are in school!! :razz:

avatar
Jeff (Javis) says:

Those 삼각김밥 aren’t in the fridge… I hope they sell that day :???:

I think the tastiest thing in the picture is probably the 참지죽, but my favorite thing to buy from Korean convenience stores was 우동.

avatar
Keith says:

I think melted cheese will sell well! 잘 팔릴거 같아요! ㅎㅎ

I think that’s a good idea too. Have a picture video vocab in a classroom will help a lot of our listeners out :) Don’t worry Jeff, you’re not the only listener who’s a student :)

avatar
Charles says:

wow that was so cool.
I would buy 삼각김밥, 메추리알 and 새우장 like 3 or 4 times a week!!
such found memories.
now I know what 매실주스 is !!! alright!

avatar
Charles says:

메론바도 되게 좋아요!~

avatar
Marie says:

저도 삼각김밥 자주 먹어요. ^^ 특히 김치참치… 음 맛있다!

한국 편의점랑 캐나다 편의점 조금 달아요. 캐나다에 갈때 아마 한국 편의점 비슷한 가게 찾아볼거에요…. 없을거예요! ㅋㅋ

제가 거의 2년동안 한국에서 살았어서 한국 문화 조금식 조금식 알게 돼었어요. (미안해요.. 문법 너무 틀어요…ㅠㅠ)

Anyway, since I’ve been living here in Korea and become quite accustomed to Korean culture, and have studied Korean through a variety of methods, I wanted to say that this website provides some of the freshest lessons f I’ve come across. I was holding my breath while the browser was loading hoping there was a new intermediate lesson, and I found that and this video vocab. 수고 하셨어요!

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Jeff (rooster)

Haha :-) 6 bottles of 알로에 주스 … ㅎㅎ I was in a convenience store today and thought of this lesson, :D and I was thinking… “what haven’t I bought in a while?” and bought an 알로에 주스 too! Everyone should try the 알로에 주스 :-) ㅎㅎㅎ

Jeff (Javis)

Yeah the 삼각김밥 are usually sold only for like 30 hours, so I think it’s safe :-) but it’s always good to check the date and time :)

Charles :-)

메론바!! ㅎㅎㅎ like… 메로나 and other melon-flavored ice creams, right? Those 메론 아이스크림 were really a HUGE hit 5 years ago… hehe, I remember. 기억나요. 저도 가끔씩 먹었었는데 :)

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Marie :-)
캐나다의 편의점은 어떤지 궁금하네요~ 나중에 캐나다에 가 보면 알 수 있겠죠? 그리고 저희 웹사이트에 대해서 칭찬해 주셔서 너무 고마워요!! ^^ 앞으로도 열심히 좋은 컨텐츠 많이 만들게요!! :)

조금 달아요–> 조금 달라요
조금식 조금식 –> 조금씩 조금씩
알게 돼었어요 –> 알게 되었어요.
틀어요 –> 틀려요.

Theresa :-)

하하~ 캔디 좋아하는구나! :-) 후지 사과맛 멘토스? 아직 사 본 적은 없지만 나도 한 번 찾아 봐야겠다 ^^

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

alice,
맞아요, 집 근처의 작은 가게들 중에서 저렴한 곳을 한 곳 ‘뚫어 놓으면’(=찾아서, 단골로 만들어 놓으면) 편의점에 가지 않아도 항상 필요한 것을 얻을 수 있죠. :-) 저도 집 근처에 그런 가게가 하나 있어요. 그런데 가끔씩, 인스턴트 음식을 사 먹고 싶을 때는 편의점에 갈 수 밖에 없어요 ^^;;

avatar
alicetowa says:

Keith 씨 :cool:
맞아요.일본엔 작은 가게가 일찍 닫혀 버려요.하지만 편의점은 어디나 있어서 아주 편리해요.

현우씨 :mrgreen:
편의점에 두고 있는 물건 과 작은 가게에 있는 물건이 좀 다르네요.저는 삼각김밥을 먹고 싶을 때 편의점에 가요.그리고 아이스크림을 먹고 싶을 때 작은 가게에 가요.아이스크림이 50%할인로 살 수 있거든요. :razz:

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

alice,
하하 맞아요! 작은 가게에서는 항상 아이스크림을 50% 아니면 30% 할인해서 팔죠!! :-) 정말 좋아요!

아이스크림이 50%할인로 살 수 있거든요
–> 아이스크림을 50% 할인된 가격으로 살 수 있거든요.
= 아이스크림을 50% 할인가에 살 수 있거든요.
= 아이스크림을 50% 가격에 살 수 있거든요.
= 아이스크림을 반값에 살 수 있거든요.

avatar
Keith says:

Mmmm…. ice-cream, and 메론바…. 50%할인해서…. 너무 좋아요!!!! ㅋㅋㅋ :lol:

Hyun W. says:

I wish they sold that kind of food in American convenience stores.
hahahaha kleptomaniac!
Thanks for the korean lesson guys!

Jacqueline (쟈클린) says:

I have a question that is not related to this lesson ^^

I saw in a korean drama that the driver’s seat was located on the right side and i saw a report of a korean singer in seoul and the driver’s seat was located in the left.
Does korea allow to use both type of cars? i thought that was prohibited everywhere ^^

avatar
Jeff (Javis) says:

Maybe the drama was taking place somewhere where the driver’s side is on the right, or maybe it was a Japanese import?

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Hyun W. :-)

Thanks for the comment! 코멘트 감사합니다! We hope you’ll enjoy our future lessons as well! Thanks!

Jacqueline :-)

Oh, nice observation !!
Actually, the driver’s seat for most cars in Korea is located on the left side :-) but it is easily permitted to import or bring a car that has the driver’s seat on the right side too. So in Korea, if you see a car that has the driver’s seat on the right side, the car has been privately shipped to Korea or imported without converting the position of the seats :-)

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Jeff, 동시에 코멘트 쓰고 있었나 봐요 ㅎㅎㅎ

Jacqueline (쟈클린) says:

Hyunwoo,Thanks for the Info ! :smile:
Jeff (Javis), the drama was filmed in korea.

Yewin says:

Hi,

My name’s Yewin and I’m from Malaysia. Stumbled on this site by chance. I’ll be visiting Korea one day so i’m trying to learn some korean basics before my trip =) Just wanna thank you for putting up a great site like this. Keep it up! Cheers!

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Yewin(예윈), welcome to the site :) 어서오세요!
Glad to hear that the site is of help to you! Be sure to stop by often and practice with us! Thanks!

Sebastian says:

이 레슨은 재미있었어요. 고맙습니다!

그런데 질문이 하나 있어요. PDF에서 “소고기고추장”하고 “쇠고기죽”이 나왔는데, 소고기와 쇠고기의 차이가 뭐예요? 둘 다 beef라는 뜻이는 것 같은데요.

I wish we had convenience stores in Germany… the only stores here that are open 24 hours are gas stations, and while you can get a lot of food and drinks, it’s really really expensive :(

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

안녕하세요 Sebastian :)

독일에는 편의점이 없어요? 저런… T.T 언젠가 생기겠지요 ^^!!!

‘소고기’와 ‘쇠고기’는 같은 뜻이에요. 동물의 이름은 ‘소’인데, 소+ㅇㅇ 처럼 다른 단어랑 같이 쓸 때는 ‘쇠+ㅇㅇ’가 되어요.

소고기고추장을 ‘쇠고기고추장’이라고 해도 되고,
쇠고기죽을 ‘소고기죽’이라고 해도 상관없어요.

그런데 특히 ‘죽’의 경우에는 ‘쇠고기죽’이라는 말을 많이 써요 ^^!
