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.

EP23. Many Versions of Me (여러 모습의 나)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode,
I reflect on the different roles I live each day —
as a teacher, a daughter, and a friend.
When we are young,
our role feels simple.
But as we grow older,
more versions of ourselves begin to appear.
Sometimes,
trying to do well in every role
can feel overwhelming.
And in the middle of being everything for everyone,
we may lose the version of ourselves
that has no role at all.
As a university Korean language teacher,
I am currently on winter break.
Without my “teacher” role for a while,
I am learning how to simply be myself again.
This episode is about balance,
identity,
and the quiet hope
that we can carry all our roles
without losing who we are.
🎧 If you are living many roles today,
I hope this episode reminds you
that you are already doing enough.
