Day 4 : Korean words based on Foreign Languages
So many Korean vocabularies are from foreign languages. It’s not so weird because the origin of many snacks or conceptions is not from Asia (And, Korea was influenced by Japan and America. it’s a long story. I will make a story about it later) But unlike China, Korean decided to use them in Korean. it helps many people to learn Korean easier. Also, it’s easy to see the difference for pronunciation between Korean and your mother tongue. of course, the pronunciation of these Korean vocab might be very different than yours or what you expected. But I can say it’s way easier than other Korean vocabularies.
this word is pronounced almost same to cookie in many languages. However, you will find some differences with next 4 words. This lesson could be so easy but nope. lol
This Korean word means different than the original meaning.those words are often called Konglish. Maybe it confuses you sometimes but well… it’s a Korean lesson. Deal with it.
my fate is a giant gummy as big as Earth
marshmallows are malang malang. Korean has so many ways to describe same stuffs but they all have a different nuance. 말랑하다 is soft and easy to bend like sponge, rubber, clay or marshmallow. 말랑말랑하다 sounds more positive and cute. many Korean vocabs can be transformed like this and this is very important because sometimes it makes a totally different meaning. hahah 말랑말랑 sounds so cute.
Marshmallow is soft.
Same as English word gum but it’s ‘껌’ not ‘검’. ‘검’ means sword in Korean. Many foreigners have a big trouble to pronounce or distinguish double consonants. click the link below. you can check easy explanations for them.

This Course Was $15
$15, maybe it’s nothing that you can earn after a couple of hours of labor. Or, maybe you have to work for full days to earn it only because of where you were born. And $15, It’s the average price of Korean textbooks. Life is unfair. But that’s why we can help each other, we are helping each other.
