SpongeMind Podcast

Almost every Korean male has to serve in the military, and as a consequence, military culture permeates the entire Korean society. In this episode, Eunice and Jonson discuss the military culture in Korea as well as important military lingo commonly used by Koreans.

This is a previously released Sponge Loop episode but repeated 20 times. This is meant for repetitive listening, my absolute favorite language learning technique. You can request the transcript and the translations at SpongeMind.org. This episode is called Sponge Loop #21 즐겁게 사는 법.

Let us tell you about the fascinating food delivery culture in the old days in Korea. Oh and about this thing that you’d have to do for your friends if you won a lottery in Korea.

Did you know there’s one Korean word that can be used for both cold water and hot soup? Or Korean professional baseball was first created for a political reason? Or orange juice is actually bad for you?

SpongeMind Podcast is back, with a new regular guest! Jonson and Eunice, his lovely wife, are going to give you many fun conversations about Korean language and culture. In this episode, you will learn about the 3 usages of the Korean word 밥. We are also going to tell you the legend of 단군, the founding father of Korea.
