무슨 vs 어느 vs 어떤 – Which is Which? | Korean FAQ

Billy — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 23:09:49 +0000

The words 무슨, 어느, and 어떤 can all be used to ask more information about something – “what,” “which,” and “what kind.” But there’s a bit more to it. Also these three words aren’t only used in questions – they can also be used in regular statements. But their meaning changes when they’re not used in questions. I break down their differences in this lesson.

Unspoken Korean Social Rules | Into Korean

Billy — Thu, 28 May 2026 21:56:58 +0000

You can learn a lot about Korean culture just by reading about it online, hearing stories from people, and through studying and practicing the Korean language. But there are a lot of social norms in Korea that aren’t widely spoken, and that are simply assumed that everyone knows. I share some of them, and bring in a couple of guests (Mallo Academy) to talk about a few others in detail.

Seoul’s fish market for LOCALS (가락시장 수산시장) with my bilingual son

Billy — Tue, 19 May 2026 14:32:09 +0000

There are plenty of marketplaces both indoors and outdoors to explore in Korea. But when locals need to buy lots of fish in Seoul, one of the best spots is Garak Market. It’s a GIGANTIC marketplace that sells not only fish, but produce and so much more. And it’s definitely not made for tourists – the floors are covered with water and you’ll have to do a lot of walking to get here – but it’s definitely worth stopping by for a unique fish market experience. I went together with my bilingual son to check it out, and we also ordered our lunch here and had it prepared right there.

You Live in Korea but Can’t Practice Korean? | Into Korean

Billy — Thu, 14 May 2026 19:45:06 +0000

I got to talk with Dave (World of Dave) about a problem I’ve heard some people express who visit Korea or who live in Korea – “I live in Korea but I can’t find opportunities to practice Korean.” First I share some of my own experiences and tips, and then I asked Dave what he felt about this and what are the ways that he was able to learn Korean while in Korea.

How to Read Korean Faster

Billy — Thu, 07 May 2026 15:19:10 +0000

I do a lot of Korean reading… in the dictionary, and grammar lessons. But I don’t read enough regular books (I’m trying!), so when my subscribers started asking me for tips to read faster I wasn’t sure the best books to recommend or the best methods for that.

Fortunately one of my friends is Gillian 쌤, a Korean teacher who absolutely loves reading, and also prepared several recommendations – books to read as a Korean learner to improve your reading speed, as well as practical tips for how to read Korean faster and how to study from Korean books.

The Hardest Part of Life in Korea (Literally TRASH) | Into Korean

Billy — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:13:18 +0000

For me, one of the most difficult parts of living in Korea is dealing with trash – knowing what to throw away and where. But for most Korean learners, the most difficult part of living in Korea is the Korean language. We talked about some of the issues that foreigners in Korea have, along with some of the issues that Koreans have, in my latest podcast episode of “Into Korean.”

Korean Debunks Korean Stereotypes

Billy — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:10:56 +0000

Koreans have a lot of stereotypes, but many of them (most?) are inaccurate. I met with my friend and we talked about several common stereotypes people have about Korean people, such as how they handle relationships, plastic surgery, K-pop and K-dramas, spicy food, drinking culture, work and school culture, and more.

Korean Ghosts That Scared My Kid | Into Korean

Billy — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 15:09:29 +0000

There are a lot of ghosts in Korea, and just as many misconceptions about them. I wanted to talk about some of the most common ghosts and share which one’s my favorite. I also brought in a ghost expert (my son) to talk about some more obscure Korean ghosts.

Also by the way, there are only 3 more episodes left in Season 1 of my podcast. What do you think? After staying in Korea for a few months I’ll return with Season 2.

Why Stray Kids’s Korean wordplay is GENIUS (feat. “Charmer”) | Stray Kids Analysis (9/8)

Billy — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 08:39:36 +0000

After analyzing all eight members of Stray Kids, I decided to try (for my very first time) making an analysis about some song titles and lyrics. I analyzed the hidden meanings behind several of Stray Kids’ Korean album titles, and took a deep look into their lyrics in the song “Charmer.”
