This episode is all about persuasion,  how to convince others of your ideas or opinions. We will be looking at some useful adjectives and persuasive expressions to help you explain why others should follow your advice or recommendations. To assist us with this topic, Miss Finesstocrat will be telling us of her experience working as a sales representative in a homeware store. How will she get on?

You can also join my new Facebook and Instagram groups where I will be providing videos, quizzes and new vocabulary as supplement material for every episode in my podcast.

한국어에서 “괜찮아요”는 같은 말이지만 상황에 따라 사양이 되기도 하고, OK의 의미가 되기도 하는 표현이에요.

이 에피소드에서는 일상 대화를 통해 “괜찮아요.”가 어떤 상황에서는 거절로, 어떤 상황에서는 긍정으로 쓰이는지 쉽게 설명합니다.

교과서에는 잘 나오지 않는 자연스러운 한국어 표현의 차이를 부담 없이 이해할 수 있도록 소개해요.
