Description
Dive into the vibrant world of Dirty Korean, your go-to handbook packed with essential phrases for speaking like a native, making Korean friends, and navigating South Korea like a pro.
Korean language learning textbooks can be helpful, but when it comes to really immersing yourself in culture and learning how native Koreans speak in their daily lives, they often fall short. That's where Dirty Korean comes in.
In this updated second edition, you'll learn all the latest slang Korea has to offer so that the next time you travel to Korea, you can chat casually with your friends, impress your new date, and join in on all the juicy gossip. So get ready to drop the textbook formality and bust out expressions they never teach you in school, including:
- Cool slang like Bural chingu
- Funny insults like Doenjangnyeo
- Explicit sex terms like Na ssalkeogata!
- Swear words like Dakchyeo!
- And so much more!
Whether you're charming oppas or winning over gracious eonnis, Dirty Korean is your key to unlocking the cultural richness of South Korea.
