The Korean writer Han Kang (한강) has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature this year, marking the first-ever Nobel Prize win in literature in Korean history. 

To pay tribute to this remarkable writer, we have a lesson in this episode built around "The Vegetarian," for which she received the 2016 Man Booker International Prize, using a few elements from the book to have a Korean lesson.

Today, we’ll learn:

  • One way to form words that mean ideology and a person who believes in that ideology (semantics).
  • A pattern to express one’s attempt or intention (syntax).
  • Comparison between the original Korean titles of some of her books and their translated titles.

All this is in tribute to Han Kang, for being the first Korean writer ever to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature!

Are we ready for our lesson then? Let’s get started!
