Welcome to Episode 15 of the Essential Korean Podcast! In this episode, we explore one of the most fascinating aspects of the Korean language: Speech Styles, specifically the Polite Style (존댓말) and Casual Style (반말).
🎯 What you’ll learn in this episode:
What Korean speech styles are and how they’re used in daily conversations
The cultural significance of 존댓말 [john-deht-mahl] and 반말 [bahn-mahl]
Insights into how speech styles reflect relationships and social dynamics in Korean culture
This topic can be tricky for beginners, especially if your native language doesn’t have a similar system. But don’t worry—Teacher Kay will guide you through the basics so you can start recognizing and using these styles naturally. Plus, you’ll gain deeper insights into Korean culture and how people relate to one another through language!
✨ What’s next?
In the next episode, we’ll tackle Speech Levels—a related topic often confused with Speech Styles. Stay tuned as we demystify this concept and help you navigate the intricacies of Korean communication!
