Learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! What is that on your plate? You’ve seen some strange things served as meals since you’ve moved to Korea, but this one takes the cake. Maybe it’s because you’re in a Korean mess hall and expectations are low, but you’re pretty sure something may have just moved. Or maybe you’re just exhausted from the long march you had to do through the Korean wilderness today. Either way, you ask your tablemate in Korean, “Hey, would you take a look at my plate and tell me what this is?” Your tablemate responds in Korean, “I’ve never seen anything like that before, but I got it too.” You look at his plate, and it looks much the same as yours.

p>Learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! Ah, what you wouldn’t do for a little adventure while you’re in Korea.

You want to try riding a Korean roller coaster ride, and you want to try participating in a Korean road race…just something to get your heart racing and adrenaline pumping while you’re visiting Korea.

What do you have going on?” Your friend responds in Korean, “Well, I did pick up a new toy the other day…” You practically jump up and down and say in Korean, “I want to try driving it! Go get it!” Your friend replies in Korean, “But you don’t even know what it is!

Learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! Action and reaction…isn’t that one of the laws of physics we learned in grade school? Well, in life in Korea, you’ve learned that every action you take provokes a reaction, whether good or bad, from your girlfriend. So if you’re late to pick her up when you plan a date in Korea, you better have a good reason and call ahead. And when you forget to do something, you have to make it up to her by buying her a Korean trinket so you won’t be in the doghouse. So this time, when you are finally getting some time off in Korea to spend with her, you want to make sure everything is right. You decide to plan everything advance and you set up reservations at her favorite Korean restaurant, buy tickets to the Korean show she’s been wanting to see, and you even arrange transportation. You try to think of every last detail to please her so you won’t run into any pouting on your date (or hearing complaints in Korean about it later). As you run through your plans in your mind, suddenly you slap yourself on the forehead and say to yourself in Korean, “I better bring her flowers to prevent her from complaining that she never gets them later.”
