Everyone is staring at you as you sit in the boardroom of the Korean company you started working for less than a week ago. Silence fills the air and you could cut the tension with a knife! The boss was looking at you when he asked that last question in Korean…but you have no idea what he said…and now all eyes are on you awaiting a reply. Finally, your ever-so-patient Korean boss asks you in Korean if you understood the question. You are able to understand him this time. Your Korean is not very good, but you are picking up some phrases that people repeat to you often. You turn to the group, nervous and embarrassed, and explain in Korean that you are still learning to speak Korean. He asks in Korean, “why didn’t you say so?” Everyone starts laughing as the boss repeat what he has said in your language. Then he asks in Korean, “why didn’t you tell me? I have just the thing to help!” As he repeats what he has said to you again where you can understand him, he slides something across the table to you. As you read the paper, you look at him and repeat to him in the best Korean you can manage, “KoreanClass101.com huh? Why didn’t I think of that?” The boardroom erupts into laughter! You will do fine here with a little help from us!
