Hello, Korean learners! Welcome to my cozy space for learning Korean.

Are you feeling a bit tired from memorizing words and studying grammar every day?

Today, through Dazai Osamu's masterpiece 《No Longer Human》, I want to send a warm message to those of you who are easily hurt.

We will talk about the masks we wear in front of others — and why the courage to be vulnerable is actually a sign of true connection.

Listen to my voice calmly and take a moment to give your mind a rest. You can practice accurate Korean pronunciation and take away deep expressions that actual Koreans often use.
