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.

EP19. Getting Tired of Potatoes (감자는 이제 그만)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I talk about potatoes — a food that many people like, but not one of my favorites.
I share my experience of living in Germany and Finland,
where potatoes were a common part of everyday meals.
Eating the same food too often made me feel tired of it,
and through this story, I introduce a useful Korean expression:
“~에 질리다”, which means to get tired of something after having it too much.
I also explain simple Korean expressions like 퍽퍽하다 (dry, starchy texture)
and 목이 막히는 느낌 (a feeling that makes you want water).
Is there a food that most people love,
but you don’t?
🎧 Listen slowly,
and enjoy this small, everyday story in Korean.
