My second cultural post is a screenshot of my conversation with my two aunts in Korea. I will be going to Korea this summer and this is a group chat between the three of us. 큰 is big, and 큰고모 means my "big", or older, aunt. 쟉은 is small, and means my "small", or younger, aunt. Learning geography in Korean class help. Both my 큰고모 and 작은고모 live in the Seoul Province, so I will be close to places like 홍대, which is a hipster, "downtown" atmosphere and 강남, which is the city mentioned in Psy's very famous song, Gangnam Style.
My 작은고모 is mentioning that she can find me a "알바" which means part time job. She has two sons, 5 and 8 years old, so she wants me to speak English with them. I am looking forward to going to Korea for the first time and spending time with relatives!
