Dramas to watch in Korean

1. “Itaewon Class” (이태원 클라쓰) Watch it on: Netflix Park Sae-ro-yi, who has just started going to a new high school, intervenes when he notices Jang Geun-won, the wealthy son of his father’s employer, bullying another student. This sets off a wild chain of unforeseen events involving death, prison, a new restaurant opening, and romance. As you might guess from the name, “Itaewon Class” takes place in the Seoul neighborhood of Itaewon, which is known for its multi-cultural, international, and generally open atmosphere. The show is notable for featuring a more diverse grouping in its main cast than is usual for a Korean drama, including a biracial character and a transgender character. Park Sae-ro-yi opens a bar-restaurant in Itaewon, so you’ll hear some language in the show related to food and the restaurant business, but as a learning tool, “Itaewon Class” might be best for picking up smaller bits of everyday language. 2. “My ID Is Gangnam Beauty” (내 아이디는 강남미인) Watch it on: Viki | DVD ...

Is ㄹ pronounced as L or R?

This is probably one of the most common questions that beginners ask when learning 한글. Just like every beginner learners, I went through this as well which is why I decided to study pronunciation rules too. I created this post to help clear up any confusion. When ㄹ is located at the beginning of a word, it sounds more like an R. Example: 라디오 (ra-di-o), 레슨 (re-seun), 로맨틱 (ro-man-tik) When ㄹ is located between two vowels, it sounds like an R.

Example: 딸 (ddal), 아들 (a-deul), 월 (weol), 달 (dal), 칼 (khal), 연필 (yeon-pil), 교실 (gyo-sil) When ㄹ is followed by a consonant or followed by another ㄹ, it sounds like L. Example: 딸기 (ddal-gi), 힘들다 (him-deul-da), 몰라 (mol-la), 살자 (sal-ja), 고릴라 (go-ril-la) When ㄹ comes after any consonant except ㄴ, ㄹ is pronounced as N. Example: 생리 (saeng-ni), 국립 (gung-nip), 능력 (neung-nyeok) When ㄹ co...
