For the past few months, I learned a lot of new words in Korean. I especially focused on learning new trendy words that a lot of the youth and young adults use in Korea. Unlike in America, where "trendy" words can be seen as slangs, in Korea, these words are utilized in so many ways and are sometimes preferred over other words that may describe the same meaning.
I learned these words through researching online and looking at forums on popular Korean websites. Because I can read Korean, I know when I see a strange word that I have never seen before. When this happens, I look for the definition or meaning of the "trendy vocab". One goal that I have in learning these words is to use them when I study abroad in Korea next semester. This way, I can understand what the Korean natives are talking about and relate to the context of their conversations.
