Intermediate Chinese Listening

After arriving in Korea, Yuka finally meets Yeona for the first time.

They quickly discover they are the same age — and in Korean culture, that changes everything.

In this episode, you’ll experience one of the most important social moments in Korean relationships:
the transition from polite speech (존댓말) to casual speech (반말).

Through their first conversation, you’ll learn:

• How to greet someone for the first time in Korean
• What “말 놓다” really means
• When it’s natural to switch speech levels
• How language reflects emotional distance and friendship

This scene shows how even a small sentence can shift a relationship.

Listen carefully and notice the subtle change in tone when two strangers begin to become friends.

❌ You don’t speak Spanish badly… you just speak with fear.

En este episodio vamos a romper uno de los bloqueos más comunes (y más injustos) de todos los estudiantes de español: el miedo a hablar.

Spoiler: el problema no es tu acento, no son tus errores, no es tu nivel.

🧠 The real problem is what’s happening in your mind before you speak.

Aquí aprenderás:
✅ Cómo cambiar tu diálogo interno en español.
✅ Por qué hablar con errores es mejor que no hablar.
✅ Frases clave para hablar con más seguridad.
✅ Y cómo dejar de pensar que tienes que sonar perfecto para ser entendido.

🎧 This is your sign to stop waiting for perfection and start using your Spanish. Even with fear. Even with doubt.

Porque no necesitas más teoría… necesitas más valentía.

👉 Dale play y empieza a hablar con confianza.
🔑 Speak with mistakes, speak with fear… but speak.
