Learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! As is common around the world, tradition and a bountiful autumn harvest offer a good reason to celebrate in Korea. Rural roots and the rituals associated with them persist in Korea in the form of Chuseok, a major holiday and the annual harvest festival when Koreans pay respects to their ancestors. To celebrate, many Korean citizens visit their ancestral hometowns, marking a major exodus from highly populated cities like Seoul.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how Koreans celebrate Chuseok. We’ll tell you how Koreans honor the harvest and their ancestors and explain the rituals associated with the holiday. You’ll also learn why traveling to Korea during Chuseok may not be ideal. Visit us at KoreanClass101.com, where you will find Korean lesson notes (remember—this Advanced Audio Blog lesson is spoken entirely in Korean!) and many more fantastic lessons and learning resources!
