Learning Korean and discussions about language

Cucumber

Cucumber

Oi, which is often used as a way to get someone’s attention in British/Australian/New Zeland English, sounds a lot like the word cucumber in Korean!

Sick Day

Sick Day

Koreans say “Zombie” as “Jombie”.

Make sure you marry someone who still loves you on your worst days! Though I am possibly this sick because he opened lots of umbrellas inside! (Joking).

Spring colds are the worst! You know when you can’t speak because your throat is so sore? Or your nose is so runny all the can do is jam tissues up there to try and stop it? Ughhhhhh

Phone Number

Phone Number

His English is a million times better than my Korean so I had to take this win. I’m terrible with numbers and can barely remember my own phone number in English, let alone Korean. Don’t underestimate someone’s willpower to win a petty argument!

Police Check

Police Check

Oh I bet if it was Crayon Pop doing it he wouldn’t be acting disgusted! hehehe

So anyone who watches Korean dramas or has Korean friends would have probably heard the

“미쳤어?!” exclamation.

The real reason why I was slow applying for my police check was because I was just lazy…

Chai Lattes

Chai Lattes

If you are a Korean living in Sydney: Be careful. Mr Gwon is probably listening in to your conversation!

We were just grabbing some chai lattes to drink while we walked home so I was happy to just stand waiting for them. Mr Gwon overheard this conversation and at first stood near them and then sat down next to them like a creeper. It was something about the military and politics and one guy was a “know it all” so Mr Gwon was giggling to himself. I then dragged him away.
