Enjoy the nineteenth episode of Culture To Grow, which allows you to travel the world from the comfort of your home, your car, or if you are still half asleep in your bed.

In this episode, we will be doing something slightly different. Since going forward, the first Monday of every month, we will embark on a thrilling journey that will immerse us in the sights, sounds, and stories of a different country each time. 

In this series, we won't just be tourists, we'll be explorers. We'll connect with a local to learn about the country, its culture, and dispel some of those stereotypes that we may all have. 

But enough from me. It's time to meet someone who knows this destination better than anyone I know. Our guest today is Fatima, she will be our guide as we travel to Iran. 

Let's go!

In this first episode of Joah Korean, we talk about one of Korea’s most important holidays — Seollal, the Lunar New Year. You’ll learn when Seollal takes place, why it’s more special than the solar New Year, and how Korean families celebrate it with food, traditions, and fun games! I’ll also share some common Korean expressions you can use during the New Year, like “Saehae bok mani badeuseyo” (Happy New Year!).
Listen slowly, enjoy Korean stories, and learn Korean naturally with me, Jeong‑ah, your host at Joah Korean.

Joah Korean Episode 1 : 한국의 설날 (South Korea's Lunar New Year)

Narrator: Malala Yousafzai was born in 1997 in the Swat Valley in northern Pakistan. Her father was a social activist and educator, and he named his daughter after a female hero who led the Afghan people to victory in an 1880 battle against the British.

Narrator: Malala attended the girls’ school that her father had founded, but when the Swat Valley came under the control of the Taliban in 2007, the family, including her two younger brothers, had to leave.

Her activism attracted global attention, including a nomination from South African archbishop Desmond Tutu for the International Children’s Peace Prize.

Narrator: On the ninth of October 2012, Malala was traveling home from school when a Taliban gunman got onto her bus and asked, “Who is Malala?” She was shot in the head and had to be transferred to the UK for medical care. She and her family stayed in that country with relatives, and she continued her studies thereafter she got better. She did not visit Pakistan again until 2018.

Narrator: The Taliban’s violent actions led to a new international focus on and action for girls’ educational rights, and Malala’s work was right at the heart of these efforts. In 2013, on her sixteenth birthday, she gave a speech at the United Nations in New York. She was also named one of Time magazine’s most influential people of the year and published her life...
