Some Korean people don't want nicknames. In Korea they dont have middle names. Women will never get the males last names (they keep their name) .More Koreans are getting more english names. It is not polite to call someone there first name unless you are really good friends with them. When you have children the adults name becomes the children's name (they would say, Will's Dad). To greet you always use your right hand. Annyonghaseyo means "hello", annyon means hello and goodbye.
My Dad will like this - TEACHERS ARE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SOCIETY! Everyone loves teachers and parents want their kids to be teachers.
Don't write a Korean's name in RED - that is a symbol for they to be dead.
Everyone thinks Americans hate spicey food - we don't but they think that we do so they always ask - "you like spicey"????
You are supposed to eat seaweed soup on every birthday.My MOM tried it and says it wasn't bad.

ReplyDeleteI think that teachers should be the highest level of society...that seems right to me! It's so cool all the things you are learning about Korean culture. What do you say when asked, "you like spicy?" Did you try the seaweed soup? Maybe I'll make some and send it to you for your 11th birthday.
lots of love
