Word for the Travel Wise (05/04/06)
Known for its incredible weather around this time of year it's no wonder South Korea would play host to their spring-time, Hi Seoul Festival. Running from today until May 7, 2006, the event gives touring visitors the opportunity to explore the city and learn a tremendous amount about Korean culture through classic music performances, parades, and various other acts. Now would be a good time to go, but if you can't make it due to the last minute heads up, perhaps it is time to prepare for travel next year.Today's word is a Korean word used in Korea:
yuh heng - travel
My past lessons focused a little more on Korean dining which can be consumed about anywhere though finding a good restaurant might be tricky. For more vocab words found on the menu check out Korea infogate. Several more words in the Korean alphabet with excellent pronunciation guides can be found at Mr. Oh's Learn Korean website. It's a fun place to start to learn the basics. KBS World Radio has a three part, 30 chapter online learning guide all for free. I can't get the hangul text to show up, but they've got sound clips of all the sample conversations available. Learn Korean dot net has most of the aforementioned along with a forum to meet other speakers both fluent natives and beginners. For a list of Korean language programs in the country click here.
