| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Kyejin: Do you remember how to say "Excuse me." in Korean from lesson 5? That's right. It is 저기요(jeogiyo.). So if you ever get lost and want to ask for directions in Korea, you can start a conversation with a stranger by saying 저기요(jeogiyo.). And do not forget to thank them afterwards by saying 고맙습니다(gomapsseumnida.). |
