So much for this podcast. My wife was adopted from Korea and we are visiting her Korean family in October. The podcast has been a blessing. I know that I can go and say a few words and phrases that I hope will impress them. Does anyone have other sites that I can learn more about the culture. We (my wife and I) want to make a good impression. So we are trying to learn as much as we can. Thanks and keep up the good work. Tony Thank you!! So much for this podcast.

I'm getting really excited to visit Korea for a few weeks. Just one question: I'm confused about why "g" and "d" are used when they sound more like "k" and "t" respectively. For example, "GamsahamniDa" sounds like "KamsahamniTa." Can you explain why that is? Thanks for the great lesson Keith! I’m getting really excited to visit Korea for a few weeks.

There was a time when i had to try my little korean, i went to this 24-hour shop in SF and greeted the korean manager "Anyeong-Seo" and since asian people look the same she thought i was a korean and she bombarded me with words that i can't decipher. She was puzzled when she heard me say 'sorry, i don't speak korean' in korean language and she was staring at me when i left the shop, :wink:, that was hell of an experience.

They are very helpful and very clearly pronounced, so it's easy for me to pick up on after listening to it a few times through and repeating the words, syllable by syllable, for myself. I am one-fourth Korean, but I actually did not know a single word of the language (until now)! My dad (half Korean) was adopted from an American family very early on in his life, so he knows very little Korean (and to address an earlier post - his name was Kim Ke Sue... though I doubt that is spelled right). Also, I'm currently in a summer program, and one of the girls here is Korean. I thought it would be cool if I just said something like, "Thank you!" or "You're welcome!" in Korean some time. I’ve really enjoyed listening to the lessons so far!

These lessons are great - I also like the fact that the lessons are only about 5mins long and are really direct! So much easier to remember that way. :smile: 감사합니다 ~ ! 세라 안녕하세요!

The thing I don't like about so many of these podcast sites is that they usually take up so much time blabbing on and on about nothing in particular. (As fun as that can be sometimes, it gets annoying.) This podcast gets straight to the point, which I LOVE. I also appreciate the clear enunciation. Plus, the little exercises at the end are a nice touch, and I love your upbeat attitude, Keith. Keep up the good work! Great job!

I guess it's pretty common though actually all Korean people i know I know are called 'Kim'! I got one of my Korean students to help me with this: http://www.mp3.com.au/track.asp?id=144011 it helped me remember this new word well, hope you like it! :) Thanks.

You can definitely get a few phrases down and impress them! And in addition to the language component of these Survival Phrases, I think you'll find the cultural tidbits helpful as well. They should give you a better understanding of her family and where they come from. :smile: Maxie - Actually, my name is Keith Kim, and Kim is my surname. Kim is a very common surname in Korea. This name accounts for nearly 20% of the surnames in Korea (probably why you were under the impression it was equivalent to "san"!). The equivalent of the Japanese "san" would be "ssi." But it would only be affixed to a given name, not a surname. Hope this helps :razz: Evan - great to hear that you’re making an effort to really connect with you’re daughter-in-law’s parents!

My son Mark just married a Korean girl (Ryu Jeong Ran, aka Willow) two weeks ago. We love her. She works at the Center for Applied Linguistics in DC, and her English is great. Her parents are coming from Korea at the end of the month to join us for a few days. Her mom speaks no English. Maybe I'll be able to get a little Korean under my belt before they get here.
