Hello, this is a pilot episode for something new that we want to try out, a new format,

a new kind of show for our listeners, students and viewers, also known as Tok Tokoks.

Hi, I'm Hjun-Hu from Talk to Me in Korean.com, and here's again a pilot episode recording that

Yeji and I made to see what you think. You know that Talk to Me in Korean offers a lot of learning

materials, various types of materials. We have books, e-books, online courses, and YouTube videos. And we also know

that many of you have enjoyed our podcast lessons for a long time. All of our podcast-based lessons

are more systematically organized and offered on our website. So please visit us at talk to me in Korean.com to see all of that.

But we want to also offer something fun and useful to listen to.

So please listen to this episode and let us know what you think.

Leave us comments on SoundCloud, on Twitter, and also on our YouTube community.

We'll be waiting for your feedback.

If you like this, we'll make it a regular part of Talk to Me in Korean's services.

If you're ready, let's listen to it.

Things like these. But in Korean, after you say, Anongaseo, there's nothing else you can say.

Yeah, you got to say something.

You got to say something meaningful, right?

So you naturally develop a habit of coming up with topics to talk about.
