Customer Reviews
Short and very enjoyable :)
Ari’s podcast drops once a week on Friday, and her cultural tidbits and language practice is worthwhile for anyone interested in Korean culture.
It’s a short and pleasant way to end a workweek :)
수고 하셨습니다 아리 씨!
Wonderful podcast
I enjoy this podcast a lot! Thank you for teaching us about Korean language and culture.
My Favorite
I started becoming interested in South Korea three years ago, after a friend suggested watching dramas while I was recovering from my first surgery for breast cancer. I have always loved languages, culture, and travel, but have never even considered Korea or Korean. While I appreciate some structure, Ari Lee’s podcast manages to blend an established format with unexpected topics. In each episode I get to learn a little bit about South Korea, a little bit about South Koreans and the host, and a little language. The podcasts aren’t so lengthy that my mind wanders, and The Legit Korean leaves me smiling by the end. I can find how to introduce myself anywhere, but who else is going to teach us how to curse in the target language? Ari Lee, you are the real MVP! 멋있어요!
