Korean to Stay Connected
For intermediate and advanced Korean learners who want to stay connected to Korean through quiet, personal stories.
Korean to Stay Connected is a slow podcast about language, memory, and everyday thoughts.
I am a Korean language teacher. I have taught Korean in several countries.
During my time teaching abroad, students often said:
“I want to keep studying Korean, but there’s nothing I can just listen to.”
This podcast is for learners who already know some Korean and want to maintain it — not through intense studying, but through calm, natural listening.
You don’t need to understand everything.
Just listening is enough.

EP12. Where the Wind Comes From (바람 어디에서 부는지)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode,
I share a quiet reflection inspired by a song I return to every winter —
“바람 어디에서 부는지” by 루시드폴.
The song feels like someone standing alone in the cold winter wind.
It sounds chilly and quiet,
yet strangely gentle and warm.
I talk about why winter is my favorite season —
not because it’s easy to get through,
but because it feels warm to me in its own way.
In winter, small comforts feel clearer,
and warmth feels more real.
This episode is about
how music and seasons overlap,
how cold and warmth can exist together,
and how a song can become the feeling of a season itself.
Is there a song you always return to
when a certain season comes?
🎧 Take this episode slowly,
like listening to a song on a quiet winter day.
