    I like this course! Can’t wait to travel to Korea and use these words to describe the Korean food that I will try. Btw the certificate is empty.

  6. Laura Weber You,

    Since soda has a bit of a “bite” can it also be considered 매워요? For example, I know some people just can’t stand the feeling of carbonated drinks on their tongue.

    • Yeji Kim,

      Hi, Laura! You can’t use 매워요 for soda because ‘맵다’ means to have a tangy taste like “red peppers”. For soda, we use the word ‘톡 쏘다’. For example, you can say “톡 쏘는 맛이 나서 탄산음료를 못 마셔요. (I can’t drink carbonated drinks because of the sharp sensation)”

  7. Ben Hinrichsen,

    Very informative videos. A lot of these things I just don’t hear enough to learn them on my own but using these lessons I can add some native like meanings to my Korean – spice it up – Also it was fun to go through lesson review quizzes to make sure what I learned is sticking.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Thank you for studying with us. You should try to use those expressions when you meet Korean speakers. 🙂
