Smile Korean Expression #05 | 눈치를 보다 | To Be Self-Conscious

Today’s expression: 눈치를 보다 👀

Have you ever worried about what other people might think of you?

In today’s episode, we’ll learn the Korean expression ‘눈치를 보다’, a phrase Koreans use all the time when they feel self-conscious or pay close attention to other people’s reactions.

I’ll share some common examples, including starting a new job, surprise birthday parties, leaving work on time, and speaking up without worrying about others. I also talk about a funny marathon story, doing things alone like 혼밥 and 혼영, and why I sometimes feel awkward when people around me start arguing.

We’ll also learn the word ‘대중교통’ (public transportation) and explore why ‘눈치’ is such an important part of Korean culture.

New episodes are released every other day! 🎙️

If my Korean is still a little fast, try listening at 0.8x or 0.9x speed. It will help you catch more words and improve your listening naturally.

Thank you for listening, and I’ll see you in the next episode!
