Bi-Weekly Learning Journal #1

[Hyeon Jun Jo]

For the first two weeks of classes, I learned many slangs that teenagers use in Korea. Korean has so many slangs for various situations. You can use them in written conversations and vocal conversations. There are so many that you can easily integrate slang in almost every sentence. It is like a sub-language within Korean language. It is so prominent among young Koreans that sometimes even the adults wont be able to understand what the teenagers say. In addition, it is used very often in Korean variety shows and Korean dramas. Some are very easy to pick up on such as 인정 as they are used way too often in multiple situations.
