가족 관계 호칭

Let's Begin!

Complex social orders, patriarchal traditions, and very elaborate Confucian philosophical heritage has resulted a lot of different wayts to address people, including the people most closest to you: family. Rather than use their given names or address family directly, very specific relationship terms are used. Further, the closer that non-biologically related people are, family relationship names can be used to create a more communal bond among one another. It can sound complicated but that's what Survival Korean is here for - to help you along the way. We will start Lesson 1 by looking at family relationship names so you can talk about your family and ask about the families of others! Let's begin!

Lesson 3 QnA Forum

낯선 사람들

Let's Begin!

While we spend most of our days talking with people we know from our family, friends, and coworkers, we also meet people that we do not know at stores, on public transporation, over the phone, etc. Addressing them appropriately is not only a sign of proper courtesy, but also of language knowledge. In Lesson 4, we will learn just how to address people that you do not know but will interact with in your daily lives!

• Read through Lesson 4.1 to 4.4.
