Learn Korean with KoreanClass101! Don't forget to stop by KoreanClass101.com for more great Korean Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Korean---- "봄바람 휘날리며 흩날리는 벚꽃 잎이 울려 퍼질 이 거리를 둘이 걸어요." 3인조 밴드 버스커 버스커가 2012년 봄 발매한 1집 타이틀 곡 "벚꽃엔딩"의 한 소절입니다. 이 곡은 매년 봄이 되면 음원차트를 역주행 하며 인기를 끕니다. 그래서 아티스트에게 봄마다 지급되는 일명 "벚꽃연금"이라고 불릴 만큼 많은 이들의 사랑을 받는 봄노래입니다. 이렇듯 길가 여기저기에서 벚꽃을 소재로 한 노래들이 들려올 때면 어느덧 시리던 겨울이 가고 바야흐로 봄이라는 걸 느끼게 됩니다. 그리고 봄을 알리는 대명사 벚꽃은 추웠던 겨울의 한기를 몰아내며 푸근해진 봄기운을 한껏 만끽할 수 있는 풍경을 자아냅니다. 자, 그럼 한국 어디에서 벚꽃이 그려낸 봄의 향연을 즐길 수 있는지 알아보도록 할까요? 2018년 4월 1일부터 10일까지 열흘간 경상남도 창원시에서 진해 군항제가 열립니다. 36만 그루의 왕벚나무 경관에 더불어 다양한 문화예술행사를 즐길 수 있는 벚꽃축제입니다. 국내 벚꽃 1번지라고도 불리는 대표명소입니다. 철길 따라 심은 왕벚나무가 만개하여 황홀한 벚꽃 터널을 이루는 경화역, 그리고 물길 따라 핀 벚꽃이 색색 조명과 함께 어우러지는 여좌천은 진해 군항제에서 빠질 수 없는 코스입니다. 수도권에서는 석촌호수 벚꽃축제와 여의도 봄꽃축제가 벚꽃 명소로 손꼽힙니다. 석촌호수변을 따라 심어진 왕벚꽃이 벚꽃 터널을 만들며, 그 옆에 롯데월드와 롯데타워가 위치하고 있어 야경 또한 일품입니다. 여의도 봄꽃 축제에서는 한강변으로 만개하는 왕벚나무를 비롯해서 진달래, 개나리, 철쭉 등 다양한 봄꽃을 감상할 수 있습니다. 그 외에도 4월 7일에서 8일까지 이틀간 열리며 지리산 향토음식을 맛볼 수 있는 화개장터 벚꽃축제, 강원도 경포대 벚꽃길, 경주 보문 관광단지 등을 비롯한 국내 각지에서 벚꽃을 즐길 수 있습니다. 이번 봄엔 사랑하는 사람들과 봄노래를 들으며 흐드러지게 핀 벚꽃으로 수놓은 길목을 거닐어 보는건 어때요? ----English---- "As the spring wind blows. The scattering cherry blossom petals. Spread out on this street. As we walk together." These are a few lines of the song "Cherry Blossom Ending", which is the title track of the first album released by a band of three members—Busker Busker—in Spring 2012. Around this season, the song gets super popular to the point of it being boosted up to the high ranks on charts. So some say this song is like a pension given to the artist every spring, a.k.a. cherry blossom pension. So when we start hearing songs about cherry blossoms played in the street, then we realize chilly winter has passed and the spring is now in the air. And cherry blossoms, which make the spring obvious, bring forth a gorgeous scene full of warm spring breeze which drives the cold out of the air. Well, then why don't we take a look at some places in Korea where we can enjoy the spring feast painted by cherry blossoms? The Jinhae Gunhangje Festival, which is held for ten days, starts April 1, 2018 in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. This is a cherry blossom festival where visitors may enjoy the landscape of 360 thousand cherry blossom trees, along with various cultural shows and events. This festival is widely known as the No.1 cherry blossom sight in Korea. Gyeonghwa Station, where cherry blossom trees are planted alongside the railway, forms a mind-blowing cherry blossom tunnel and Yeojwacheon, where cherry blossoms gets mingled with colorful lamps along the stream in the evening, are two must-go-and-see scenic points of the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival. Seokchonhosu Lake Cherry Blossom Festival and Yeouido Spring Flower Festival are counted as top cherry blossom sights in the capital area. King cherry trees planted along the Seokchon lakeside track create a cherry blossom tunnel, and the Lotte World Amusement Park and Lotte Tower beside the lake adds beauty to the night view. At the Yeouido Spring Flower Festival, you may enjoy a wide variety of spring flowers—including King cherry blossoms, royal azeleas, forsythia, azaleas, etc.—elegantly decorating the the Han River. Also, there are many other locations to enjoy cherry blossoms in Korea, including Hwagae Market Cherry Blossom Festival—which is held two days, on April 7 and April 8, and has local cuisine of Jirisan for you to try—, Gyeongpodae cherry blossom street in Gangwon-do, and Bomun Pavilion of Gyeongju. How about you take a walk alongside the street embroidered with cherry blossoms, listening to spring K-pop songs with the ones you love this spring? ----Romanization---- "bombaram hwinallimyeo heunnallineun beotkkot ipi ullyeo peojil i geori [...]

Don't forget to stop by KoreanClass101.com for more great Korean Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Korean---- 경상도 사투리로 무엇을 하는지 물어보기 여러분 안녕하세요. KoreanClass101.com의 금효민입니다. 지난 시간에 이어서 이번 시간에도 질문을 할 때 자주 사용하는 단어들을 알려드릴거에요, 경상도 사투리에서 친구들과 이야기할 때 자주 사용하는 표현인 “만다꼬"와 "단디하다"에 대해서 알아보겠습니다. 표준 한국어에서는 다른 사람이 뭔가 하려고 할 때 이렇게 물어보죠? ‘뭐하려고?’ 하지만 표준한국어와는 다르게 경상도 사투리에서는 이렇게 말합니다. ‘만다꼬' ‘만다꼬'는 '무엇을 하려고 그러니' 라는 의미의 경상도 사투리 입니다. 어떤 사람이 뭘 하려고 하는지 확실히 알지 못할 때 이 표현을 사용합니다. 표준어로는 ‘뭐하려고?’, 경상도 사투리로는 ‘만다꼬'이죠. ”만다꼬”는 ‘뭐 한다고’를 줄여놓은 말이라고 생각하면 됩니다. 만약 친구가 갑자기 뜬금없이 무엇인가를 요청할 때에 ‘만다꼬’?라며 이 표현을 사용 수 있습니다. 또 다른 단어, “단디가가”입니다. 여러분은 무슨 의미인지 아시겠어요? ‘단디가가'는 ‘단디’라는 단어와 ‘가가' 단어의 합성어 입니다. ‘단디'는 ‘확실히'라는 의미이고, ‘가가'는 ‘가지고 가다'라는 의미에요. 그래서 '조심히 가지고 가' 또는 ‘확실히 가지고가' 라는 두가지 의미가 있습니다. 혹시 친구가 비싼 물건을 빌려달라고 했을 때, 빌려주면서 ‘단디가가'라고 이야기할 수 있겠죠. 자, 그럼 이번 시간에 알아본 단어들을 이용한 문장 한 번 들어볼까요? 먼저, “쟈가 만다꼬 저러는지 몰라.” 무슨 의미인지 아시겠어요? 바로 “쟤가 뭐하려고 저러는지 몰라.”라는 의미입니다. ‘쟈가'에서 ‘쟈'는 ‘저 애' 혹은 ‘저 사람'이라는 의미라는 걸 지난 시간에 알아봤었죠? 자, 그럼 표현 하나만 더 알아볼까요? “숙제 단디 끝내리!” 무슨 의미인지 아시겠어요? ‘단디'는 경상도 사투리로 ‘확실히'라는 뜻입니다. 그리고 ‘끝내리'에서 어미 ‘리'는 무엇무엇 해라의 ‘라'와 같은 의미에요. 그래서 ‘단디I 끝내리'는 ‘확실히 끝내라'라는 뜻이 됩니다. 주변에 경상도 출신 친구가 있다면 그 친구와 대화할 때 이번에 알아본 표현을 사용해보세요. 다음 시간에는 경상도 사투리에서만 볼 수 있는 접속사에 대해서 알려드릴게요. 그럼 좋은 하루 보내세요! ----English---- Ask "What someone is doing" in Gyeongsangdo Korean. Hello, everyone. This is Hyomin from Koreanclass101.com. Continuing the last blog, we are going to talk about the frequently used words when you are asking about something. In the Gyeongsangdo dialect, we use "What for?" ("mandakko?") and "to be careful" ("dandihada"), in particular. In standard Korean, we ask like this when someone is trying to do something, "What for?" ("Mwoharyeogo?") However, different from standard Korean, we say "What for?" ("mandakko?") in the Gyeongsangdo dialect. "What for?" ("mandakko?") is the Gyeongsangdo dialect to mean "what are you trying to do," especially when you are not sure what he or she is trying to do. In standard Korean it's "What for?" ("meoharyeogo?"), and in the Gyeongsangdo dialect, it's "What for?" ("mandakko?"). It is the abbreviated version of "what for?" ("meo handago?") If a friend is asking for something out of nowhere, then you could you say "what for?" ("mandakko?") Another phrase is "to take carefully to somewhere" ("dandi gaga"). Do you understand what it means? "To take carefully to somewhere" ("dandigaga") is the combined words of "to be careful" ("dandi") and "to take to somewhere" ("gaga"), which means "to take to somewhere" ("gajigo gada"). So, it means "to take to somewhere carefully" or "make sure to take it to somewhere safe." If your friend is asking to borrow an expensive good that you have, then you could use this word "to take to somewhere carefully" ("dandi gaga") to him or her. Let's listen to a sentence using the words that we talked about today. How about, "I don't know what she or he is up to." ("jyaga mandakko joreoneunji molla.") Do you understand what it means? It means "I don't know what he is up to." ("Jyaega mwoharyeogo jeoreoneunji molla.") The letter "jya" from "jyaga" means "that girl or boy" ("jeo ae") or "that person" ("jeo saram"). Then, let's listen to one more. "Make sure to finish up your homework right." ("Sukje dandi kkeutkkaeri.") Can you guess? The letter "dandi" means "to make sure" ("hwaksilhi") in the Gyeongsangdo dialect. Also, the ending particle "-ri" from "kkeupnaeri" means the same as "-ra" used in "do something" ("meuot meuot haera"). If you have a friend from Gyeongsangdo, try these sentences on him or her. In the next blog, we will talk about conjunctions. Have a great day! --------------------------- Learn Korean with KoreanClass101! Don't forget to stop by KoreanClass101.com f [...]

 Advanced Audio Blog S8 #9 - Controversies Over Cryptocurrency in Korea | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 3:40

Learn Korean with KoreanClass101! Don't forget to stop by KoreanClass101.com for more great Korean Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Korean---- 비트코인, 이더리움, 리플 등등... 근래 국내에서 화제가 되며 연일 기사화되고 있는 암호화폐 중 가장 거래가 활발한 화폐 종류들입니다. 흔히 가상화폐라고도 불리는 암호화폐는 일반 화폐와 달리 각국 정부나 중앙은행이 발행 및 거래내역을 관리하는 것이 아니라, 처음 고안한 사람이 정한 규칙에 따라 가치가 매겨지고 블록체인 기술을 기반으로 거래됩니다. 2009년 1월 발행이 되었고 국내 암호화폐 열풍의 중심에 있었던 비트코인을 한 번 살펴볼까요? 이 암호화폐는 성능이 좋은 컴퓨터로 수학 문제를 풀때 발행이 되며 이 과정을 '채굴'이라고 일컫습니다. 이후 컴퓨터나 모바일기기에 지갑을 설치하고 비트코인 주소를 만들어 거래를 진행할 수 있습니다. 암호화폐는 거래비용과 소요시간이 절감되고, 블록체인기술을 기반으로 하여 강력한 보안이 유지된다는 장점이 있지만, 계좌 소유자에 대한 정보가 공개되지 않아 암시장에서 마약거래나 도박, 혹은 비자금조성을 위한 돈세탁에 악용될 수 있고, 가격 등락폭이 크며, "김치 프리미엄"이라는 말이 생길 만큼 한국 시장에서 암호화폐 투기가 비이성적으로 과열되고 있다는 전문가들의 의견이 모여 정부의 규제가 시급하다는 목소리가 컸습니다. 이에 따라 정부는 2017년 12월 28일 "가상통화 특별대책"을 발표하였으며, 가상통화 거래 실명제를 실시하여 거래 투명성을 제고하고, 가상통화 관련 범죄 집중 단속 및 엄중 처벌을 진행할 것임을 밝혔습니다. 한국사회여론연구소가 지난 1월 전국 성인 1,033명을 대상으로 '암호화폐 규제 찬반'을 놓고 조사를 실시한 결과 69.7%의 응답자가 "정부의 가상화폐 규제 강화방안"에 찬성한다고 답하였습니다. 하지만 타당하지 않은 가상화폐 규제로 한국 경제가 쇠퇴하는 것을 원하지 않는다는 의견에서 비롯된 가상화폐규제반대 청원에 동참한 이가 수십만 명이 넘어 한국의 암호화폐 시장의 동향을 예의주시 하지 않을 수 없습니다. 한국 시장에서 열풍을 불어일으켰던 암호화폐에 대한 여러분의 생각은 어떠신가요? ----English---- Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, etc. These are the most actively traded cryptocurrency which have become a hot topic in Korea recently. Cryptocurrency is often also referred to as virtual currency, and unlike flat money that is issued and regulated by the government or central banks, its value is set by the one who developed it, and it is traded based on blockchain technology. Why don't we take a look at one that was issued in January of 2009 and caused the cryptocurrency fever — Bitcoin? Bitcoin is issued when a supercomputer solves a math problem, and this process is termed "mining." Then a user may install a Bitcoin wallet on a computer or a mobile device, create an address, and proceed with transactions. Advantages of cryptocurrency are that it reduces the transfer fee and time consumed, and that it is also safely secured since it is built upon blockchain technology. However, there exists the danger of its misuse in criminal activities — such as drug trading, gambling, and money laundering — to create slush funds due to the inherent anonymity. Also, the price is highly volatile, and experts have found that Korea's market is abnormally overheated with the cryptocurrency investment, even to the point of having the expression "Kimchi premiums," and as a result, many have said it is urgent that the government steps in with the right regulations for cryptocurrency. In turn, on December 28th 2017, the Korean Government enacted a new cryptocurrency regulation and announced that they will require traders to use real-name accounts in order to increase transparency and enforce an intensive crackdown and corresponding punishment on cryptocurrency-related crimes. Korea Society Opinion Institute (KSOI) surveyed 1,033 adult Korean citizens in January on "cryptocurrency regulation Pros vs. Cons," and 69.7% answered they support the "intensified government regulations on cryptocurrency." Nevertheless, the petition against Cryptocurrency Regulations, which was started with concerns on its negative effect on the Korean economy, clocked over a few hundred thousand signatures, so the KSOI could not help but keep a close eye on how things turn out with cryptocurrency in Korea. How do you view the cryptocurrency that has caused such great turmoil in Korea? ----Romanization---- biteukoin, ideorium, ripeul deungdeung... geullae gungnaeeseo hwajega doemyeo yeonil gisahwadoego inneun amhohwapye jung gajang georaega hwalbalhan hwapye jongnyudeurimnida. heunhi gasanghwapyeragodo bullineun amhohwapyeneun ilban hwapyewa dalli gakguk jeongbuna jungangeunhaengi balh [...]
