  4. What happens on the "longest night" of Korea?

    What happens on the "longest night" of Korea?

    In this episode, I'm going to introduce something very special. I hope you enjoy it!🥰 I recommend listening to the episode first before you read the description. If you are still watching this, you are a curious adventurer, seeking for more information. Wonderful!!!⭐️ I'll tell you more about 동지. First, there is a solar term. It's called a 절기 in Korean. There are 24 in total, and today is one of them. So I thought it would be appropriate to mention the solar term and explain today's solar term. A solar term was made to help the farmers to do better in agricultural affairs and farming activities. ☀️🌧️❄️🌏 A long time ago, Korea lived off by farming, so the 24 solar terms were very important, because it told people when to plant seeds, water them or even harvest them. It also influenced and IS influencing people's life including food, housing, transportation and clothings. 🏠✈️🍚👟 동지 is explained more thoroughly in the recording. It's one of the well-known solar terms along with 입춘, 경칩, 하지, 동지 and 입추. As you listen to the episodes and this, please understand grammar, pronunciation, and spelling problems!😊 I hope you enjoyed today's episode! See you soon and stay tuned!!💜😍😆

  5. Seon-nye and the woodcutter

    Seon-nye and the woodcutter

    Seon-nye and the woodcutter(선녀와 나무꾼) A folklore, also a sad, heartbreaking story. "Seon-nye and the woodcutter" is pretty popular. I chose this folklore as my 11th episode story because for those who don't know this story. After you read this book, you might learn why roosters cry so early in the morning. Or how roosters were created.... Before listening to this story, I recommend something. First, make sure you know the word 'Seon-nye'. (If you don't, I recommend listening to "The Magic Fan"---I think I described the Seon-nye very well there. Oh and I think it'll be just wonderful if you know the word 'Oghwangsangje(옥황상제)'🙂) Second, if you really want to understand the story well, search the word(두레박--a bucket looking thingie.) It is mentioned in the story and I just want you to enjoy it with clear information in your head. As you read this or listen to "Seon-nye and the woodcutter", please understand grammar, pronunciation, and spelling problems!😋 Oh lastly, sorry for taking so much time to upload this---I was lazy and well, lots of tests!! Hope you guys enjoy this story!!! *Words that you might be interested* -선녀(Seon-nye) -두레박(A bucket looking thingie😉) -선녀와 나무꾼(Seon-nye and the woodcutter) 오늘부터는 한국어로도 간단한 설명을 하려고요! 잘 아시겠지만 이 에피소드는 ‘선녀와 나무꾼’을 담고 있는데요, 이 이야기를 번역하는데 오래 걸린 만큼 재미있게 즐기시길 바랄게요! 번역하면서 본 이야기에는 없는 나무꾼과 사냥꾼의 대화, 나무꾼과 사슴의 대화, 나무꾼과 선녀와의 대화 등등 제 상상력을 좀 보태서 보다 더 재미있게 다가오게끔 만들었어요. 들어주셔서 감사해요!!!😊

    Zarin Gobi

    Zarin Gobi (자린고비) A folklore, also a unique story. "Zarin Gobi" is a very funny story and also a unique story. It's one of the popular folklores of Korea!! I hope you enjoy this story, not only because it took a lot of time for me to finish this, but also because I really enjoy this story whenever I read it. Please understand grammar, pronunciation, and spelling problems!🙂 This is the tenth episode of this podcast, so I'm very excited but also proud. Thank you all for listening to my recordings!! I'll be sure to come back with an another fabulous story for you to enjoy! 💜 *Words that you might be interested* -자린고비 -새우젓(that salty thing I mentioned--fermented tiny shrimps) -김치(Korea's most famous traditional food--fermented food) -굴비(that dried fish I was talking about) -간장(soy sauce)

  7. Mangjuseog Trial

    02/01/2022

    Mangjuseog Trial

    Mangjuseog Trial(망주석 재판) A folklore, also a hilarious story. To be honest, I had forgotten about this story, but once I read it, I remembered it clearly. This folklore is really awesome. The title itself might not sound interesting to you, but it's one of the most funny stories. I think. While you're listening to my episodes, you might hear some grammar problems or pronunciation problem.😅 I probably should have mentioned it in every episode, but... believe it or not, I forgot. Hehe. So yeah. I hope you enjoy this folklore as much as I did, and see you next time!! 🤩 #망주석 #Mangjuseog #재판 #Trial #Korea #Folklore #Folkstory #Hilarious #Funny #9th

    One grain of millet

    One grain of millet(좁쌀 한 톨) A folklore, also a spectacular story. I really hope you enjoyed this folklore as I did long ago when I first heard this story. In case you were wondering, that instrument you hear in every episode is called 'Kalimba'. I just realized that my kalimba wasn't tuned well in my last episode, 'Deadline hill' Since this is the first episode of 2022... Happy new year🥳 and I hope you have an another wondrous year😀 This year, I'll translate more interesting folklores just for you guys!😍 #Millet #좁쌀 #Korean #Folklore #Funny #Jumag #주막 #inn #rat #cat #horse #cow #daughter
