The "Korean Made Simple" series is finally complete. Three textbooks, three workbooks, and audio files for all of them. To celebrate, I made a video showing off what you'll get when you order them.

Korean Games have recently become quite famous with people all around the globe. This is because of the popularity of the Korean TV series on Netflix, Squid Game, which has risen to worldwide fame nearly overnight. The show features many popular Korean games played by children, so perhaps it’s the best time to learn about them too.

I was recently asked by a viewer to explain the concept of 두음법칙, and that's when I noticed there weren't yet any videos about it in English.

두음법칙 is a set of rules for how to read Hanja words - specifically it's for when the Hanja word begins with the letters ㄹ or ㄴ. This is a specific case, but happens frequently when reading Hanja words using Korean. It is why the word 여자 isn't read as 녀자 despite the Hanja word for 女 being read as 녀, and also why 소녀 isn't 소여. It's why 용 ("dragon") isn't read as 룡, when the Hanja word is 룡.

What do you think has been the most helpful to you while learning Korean?

For me, a lot of things have been helpful such as having Korean friends to practice with (or dating with a native speaker), or having lived in Korea (I did this too), as well as practicing speaking in general, or watching dramas and listening to music, and many other things.

I talked with my friend Andy, who's also a fluent Korean speaker, about what we felt have been the most helpful things in our Korean learning journey to bring us to where we are now.

If you’ve read the news or been on social media at all lately, “Squid game” might already sound familiar to you. The name itself can already get someone curious, so what is Squid Game all about?

In this article, we will explain to you the plot of the TV show and how it relates to real-life in Korea, especially regarding the children’s games played in it. Let’s see what this much gushed Korean series is all about!
