Hello, hello, and welcome back to the Talk to Me in Korean podcast.

You are going to learn a fun, new Korean word and take an in-depth look at it with me

and listen to a useful Korean dialogue.

That's the structure of our podcast in this season.

But before we begin, let's warm up with a Korean quiz.

You know, sometimes when you hear something surprising,

you say an expression of exclamation almost automatically, right?

So I'm going to give you three expressions in Korean.

Which of these is the correct reaction when you hear something that's hard to believe?

When you hear something surprising and that is hard to believe, do you say, number one,

Selma?

Number two, yorksi. Number three, joa.

All of these are in casual language, bamb-mal.

Once again, the choices are,

Selma,

yoke-si-joa.

Think about it and I'll give you the correct answer at the end of this episode.
