In this episode, you will learn about "Speech Styles" of the Korean language, specifically the polite style and the casual style used in colloquial speech. If you have heard people using the terms, 존댓말 [ john-deht-mahl ] and 반말 [ bahn-mahl ], they're talking about the Korean speech styles. It's not an easy concept to grasp for beginners whose native language doesn't have a similar linguistic aspect. However, the more you get to know them, the more interesting you'll find it to be -- You will gain insights into Korean culture and unique ways of people relating to one another.
In the next episode, you'll be introduced to another topic, "Speech Levels," which students confuse with speech levels. We'll demystify them, so stay tuned!
