Smile Korean Expression #12| 반갑다 | Glad to see you

Today’s expression: 반갑다

Have you ever unexpectedly run into someone you haven’t seen in a long time? Or felt excited when your favorite season finally arrived? In Korean, we often express those feelings with the word ‘반갑다’

In this episode, you’ll learn how Koreans naturally use ‘반갑다’ in everyday conversations—not only when meeting people, but also when talking about good news, the changing seasons, and things we’ve been looking forward to.

I’ll also share a few personal stories, including the time I unexpectedly ran into a friend while traveling in Australia, why I always look forward to summer, and a unique Korean wedding tradition called ‘청첩장 모임’, where friends often get together before someone’s wedding.

New episodes are released every other day! If my Korean feels a little fast, feel free to slow the playback speed to 0.8x or 0.9x.

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