"I'm also watching a tv series with my language partner to help with my conversational Korean and listening comprehension and have found it very helpful! I'd reccomend the series "Moving" which also shows tidbits of real Korean history and shows a…"
"They say international people know Faker's name more than the name of the Korean president, which is a bit funny and shows just how popular this piece of pop culture really is worldwide. The popularity of PC rooms in Korea also really shows the…"
"I think it's great that you are learning about Korean culture and history alongside the language as they are both so deeply connected! The Korean War is a great event to learn about since it is also a part of American history. Being able to feel…"
"I've been to a couple of KASA events and they really are a great time to meet others and learn Korean by talking with them! There are also a couple of international students from Korea on campus so it's great to be able to have a conversation in…"

"I agree that K-pop is important in understanding Korean culture! K-pop promotes Korea’s cultural exports, including fashion, beauty, and food, which strengthens the nation's global influence and economy. It’s cool how it uses English phrases to…"
