After about 2 months of binging on fabulous Kdramas I thought it might be good to learn Korean as my second language. However, since I am not in those formative years where languages are easily picked up, I realized that would probably not happen. Regardless, I have tried to catch on to some of the words and phrases used in my shows. As of now here is my vast Korean language vocabulary:
Oemma (pronounced O-mah) - This means mom and I love the way it sounds.
Appa (pronounced like Ah-pa) - Dad. Not used as often as mom but still kind of nice
Ne, Ye, De (pronounced nay, yay, or day) - Yes! I think the different versions have to do with formality. For English speakers it sounds a bit odd when we hear Ne but they mean yes... takes some getting used to!
Anio (pronounced Ah-nee-o or sometimes the shorten and say Ah-nee) - No!
Gamsahabnida (pronounced to my ears like Gam-Sam-Nee-Da) - This means thank you. I've been practicing this a lot so I can actually use it when visiting Korea.
By the way, there are many Korean Language tools on line if you want to give it a go!
Gamsahabnida! I'll try and use that more. But you have to accept I might say arigatogozaimasu out of habit.
