Korea has a vibrant culture with traditional holidays, K-pop, and unique modern celebrations.
In this lesson, you'll learn vocabulary for cultural events and traditional holidays.
You'll also practice expressing opinions and making comparisons about cultural topics.
Chuseok (추석, Korean Thanksgiving) and Seollal (설날, Lunar New Year) are the two biggest holidays. Families gather, perform ancestral rites (차례), eat traditional food (songpyeon rice cakes for Chuseok), and children bow to elders to receive money (세뱃돈).
