Family (가족) is central to Korean culture and society.
In this lesson, you'll learn vocabulary for family members and how to talk about your family.
Korean has different terms based on the speaker's gender and the relative's age — an important distinction!
Korean culture is deeply rooted in Confucian values. Age hierarchy is very important — you must always know who is older. The words for 'older brother' differ based on whether the speaker is male (형/hyeong) or female (오빠/oppa).
