KOREA

()

Autumn in Korea is relatively short, so expect the daily temperatures to begin to drop rapidly. During the cold weather months, we take special care to avoid catching colds or getting the flu. Try this phrase when you express your concern about someone's condition: “Gamgi josim-haseyo” which means “Be careful not to catch a cold.”

“Be careful not to catch a cold!” = 감기 조심하세요. (Gamgi josim-haseyo) (gamgi 감기 = cold, 조심하세요 josim-haseyo = be careful)

Stay safe and keep an eye out for the next Speakin’ Korean lesson.
