Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

And our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who want to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to South Korea or North Korea? Maybe you want to speak Korean with your family from Seoul? Our podcast will give you the cultural and linguistic background to fully immerse in Korea.

"이번 설날, 젊은 사람들도 함께 즐길 수 있는 프로그램이 있었으면 좋겠어.En: One day, Minji said to Junho, "This Seollal, it would be great if there were programs that young people could enjoy too.Ko: 예를 들어, 전통 놀이와 함께 현대 춤도 더하면 어떨까?" 준호는 잠시 생각에 잠겼다.En: For example, how about combining traditional games with modern dances?" Junho pondered for a moment.Ko: 민지가 제안한 아이디어는 신선하지만 너무 새로운 것 같았다.En: The idea proposed by Minji was fresh but seemed too new.Ko: 하지만 민지는 열심히 설명했다. "이렇게 하면 젊은 사람들도 전통을 더 좋아하게 될 거야."En: However, Minji explained enthusiastically, "This way, young people will grow more fond of traditions."Ko: 준호는 고민 끝에 민지의 제안을 받아들이기로 했다.En: After much consideration, Junho decided to accept Minji's proposal.Ko: 하지만 그러던 중, 준비하던 날에 큰 눈보라가 몰아쳤다.En: But during the preparations, a heavy snowstorm hit.Ko: 마을의 설날 준비가 다 엉망이 되는 듯했다.En: It seemed as if all the village's Seollal preparations were falling apart.Ko: 민지와 준호는 함께 노력했다.En: Minji and Junho worked together.Ko: 전통적인 음식을 준비하는 동안, 지붕에 쌓인 눈을 치우고 전통 등을 복구했다.En: While preparing traditional food, they cleared the snow off the roofs and restored the traditional lanterns.Ko: 민지는 빠르게 상황을 파악하고, 젊은 사람들과 함께 힘을 합쳐 창고를 개조해 임시 행사장을 만들었다.En: Minji quickly assessed the situation and, with the help of the young people, converted a warehouse into a temporary event venue.Ko: 준호는 이런 모습에 감동했다.En: Junho was moved by this sight.Ko: 추운 날씨에도 민지의 노력과 열정이 따뜻하게 느껴졌다.En: Despite the cold weather, Minji's effort and passion felt warm.Ko: 결국, 설날 축제는 성공적이었다.En: In the end, the Seollal festival was a success.Ko: 전통과 현대가 조화롭게 어우러져 모두가 즐길 수 있는 행사가 되었다.En: Tradition and modernity harmoniously blended, creating an event everyone could enjoy.Ko: 민지는 이 경험을 통해 고향의 전통과 뿌리에 대한 깊은 감사를 느꼈다.En: Through this experience, Minji felt a profound gratitude for her hometown's traditions and roots.Ko: 준호도 변화의 필요성을 깨달았다.En: ...
