In the introductory episode, I answer why I think it's important to look at asking questions as an art. I give my background, anecdotes, and hypotheticals to display what trying to achieve with this podcast. While I use a lot of complex vocabulary, I try to speak in a slower cadence so that learners in a wide range of levels can try to understand. Hope you enjoy! 

The Art of Asking Questions

Episode 1: Introduction

🧭 Life in Korea through the Eyes of Foreign Residents: An Interactive Exploration

📊 1. Overview
80.3% of long-term foreign residents in Korea report overall satisfaction with their life here.
 However, 19.7% say they have experienced discrimination in everyday situations like restaurants, banks, and shops.
 Korea's convenience and safety are major strengths, but language barriers and cultural challenges still exist.

🔍 2. Deep Dive: Pros vs. Cons
This section allows users to filter and compare Korea’s strengths and weaknesses across key themes.
Top Pros:
Excellent public transportation and infrastructure

Advanced digital services and delivery culture

High level of public safety


Affordable daily living compared to some home countries

High-quality healthcare system

Top Cons:
Language barriers and complex administrative systems

Intense work culture and lack of work-life balance

High housing costs, especially in Seoul

Lack of personal space in public areas

Cultural misunderstandings and subtle social exclusion

🧭 Users can explore by theme: Daily Life, Work & Culture, Social Connections

✅ Final Takeaway
Korea offers a highly livable environment for many foreigners—especially thanks to its safety, infrastructure, and modern conveniences.
 However, language and cultural gaps, along with social isolation or subtle bias, still affect the daily lives of many.
This interactive project goes beyond data—bringing in real voices, real choices, and real-life insight.

上午，噜噜去了客厅，看见在桌子的上边有一杯热巧克力和一块面包，它不喜欢。
中午，噜噜去了书房，看见在电脑的旁边有一杯咖啡和一个苹果，它不喜欢。
下午，噜噜去了厨房，看见杯子里边有一点儿冰淇淋，冰淇淋太冷了，它不喜欢。
晚上，噜噜又去了客厅，看见椅子的旁边有一条小鱼和一点儿牛奶！它太高兴了！
噜噜最爱吃鱼，它吃了鱼，也喝了牛奶，嗯……真好吃！现在，噜噜要去卧室睡觉了！

There is a kitten named lulu. It is very hungry. It has not eaten for two days. Today, Lulu is going to find something to eat at home.

In the morning, Lulu went to the living room and saw a cup of hot chocolate and a piece of bread on the table. It didn't like it.

At noon, Lulu went to the study and saw a cup of coffee and an apple next to the computer. It didn't like it.

In the afternoon, Lulu went to the kitchen and saw a little ice cream in the cup. The ice cream was too cold and he didn't like it.

In the evening, Lulu went to the living room again and saw a small fish and a little milk beside the chair! It's so happy!

Lulu likes fish best. It eats fish and drinks milk. HMM... it's delicious! Now, Lulu is going to the bedroom to sleep!
