안녕하세요! 오늘은 한국어 학습자분들이 꼭 알아두면 좋을 "덕후"라는 표현에 대해 이야기해 볼게요. 
여러분, 혹시 "덕후"라는 단어 들어보셨나요? 덕후는 영어의 "superfan"과 비슷한 말이에요. 
하지만 한국에서는 덕후 문화가 정말 독특하게 자리 잡고 있어요.

덕후는 특정 분야에 정말 깊이 빠져서 좋아하는 사람을 뜻해요. 
이때 어떤 분야든 상관없어요. 예를 들어, 한국 드라마를 정말 좋아해서 밤새워 드라마를 몰아보는 사람이 있죠? 
이런 분을 한국어로 "드덕"이라고 해요. "드덕"은 "드라마 덕후"의 줄임말로, drama + deok-hu를 합친 거예요. 
그러니까 영어로는 "drama superfan" 같은 느낌이죠.

또 다른 예시로는 "뮤덕"이 있어요. 뮤덕은 "뮤지컬 덕후"의 줄임말인데요, 주로 뮤지컬을 정말 열정적으로 좋아하는 사람을 의미해요. 
예를 들어, 한국이나 외국의 뮤지컬을 챙겨보고, OST를 외우다시피 하는 분들을 뮤덕이라고 부를 수 있어요.

사실 덕후 문화는 한국에서 많은 사람들에게 일종의 취미생활로 자리 잡고 있어요. 
어떤 분야든 관심 있는 걸 깊이 파고드는 게 더 이상 이상하지 않게 되었거든요. 
오히려 "나만의 덕질 분야"가 있다는 것이 자랑스럽기도 해요. 
여기서 "덕질"이란, 덕후 활동을 즐기는 걸 말해요. 
덕질은 fandom activity, 혹은 simply "stanning" 같은 의미로 이해할 수 있어요.

그래서 요즘은 덕후라는 표현이 꼭 nerdy한 느낌이 아니라, 자신의 열정을 공유하는 문화로 자리 잡았다고 할 수 있어요.

이렇게 한국의 덕후 문화를 알아보았습니다! 여러분도 혹시 덕후 될 준비가 되셨나요?

그럼 오늘은 여기까지입니다. 감사합니다!

Chinese story:
《漂亮的学校大门》
“我说不来，又叫我来，这个大门又旧又烂，我不想在这里念书！”一位女学生在大学门口大声地说。

在中国，学生很多，但是大学却不多，所以要考上一所大学不是一件容易的事。这位年轻的女学生非常努力地考上大学，难道只是希望学校有一个漂亮的大门？

大部分的学生都喜欢学校有一个漂亮的大门，当自己的爸爸、妈妈，或者朋友来参观的时候，他才会觉得有面子。

大部分中国的大学都希望有一个漂亮的大门，因为这是一个学校的形象。大学是这样，一般的中学、小学也是这样的。

有漂亮的校门是很好的事，但是如果学生只是因为学校没有漂亮的大门，就不想读大学，这就变成了一件奇怪的事。


English translation:
The beautiful school main gate

I said I don’t want to come. Why you asked me to come here? The main gate of this school is old yet rotten. I don’t want to study here.” A female student shouted in front of a university’s main entrance.
In China, students are too many. But universities are few. Getting an admission to a university is a tough work. This young female student must’ve studied very hard to gain approval for a place. Is it only for a beautiful school main gate?
Many students want their school to have a beautiful main gate. So that when their parents or friends come to visit them, they would feel proud of themselves.
In fact, most universities in mainland China definitely want to have a beautiful main gate which stands for the image of a school. Universities want that, and general high schools and elementary schools want that as well.
It is certainly a good thing to have a great-looking main gate. But if a student doesn’t want to go to a university simply depends on the outward appearance of main gate, this is really a weird thing.

Lesson 1 Word 7 ( Hardship ) 

昔は日本語の色は「赤」（red)、「青」(blue)、「白」(white)、「黒」(black)の４色しかなかったそうなんです。そして、この4色に「黄色」(yellow)と「茶色」(brown)の2色を合わせた6色が、古くから日本語で使われていた伝統的な色名とされています。
さて、この６色は　最後に「い」をつけると　形容詞になり、物の色を表現できます。
例えば、「赤い車」、「青い海」、「白い雪」「黒い髪」などですね。そして「黄色い花」、「茶色い馬」などと言うことができます。
では　この６色以外の色の形容詞は　どういいますか？例えば、greenの緑は「緑い」とは言いません。
その他の色は　○○色の　ということができますよ。
例えば、　greenの緑は「緑色の」となります。
「緑色の野菜」「ピンク色のTシャツ」「水色の傘」などですね！

ただ、例外もあって、赤、青、白、黒、なども　「赤色の靴」、「青色のかばん」などのように言うこともできます。

It's not the language barrier! Job Interview Prep | IELTS Speaking prep.

You are looking at the effect, not the cause!

Does it sound familiar? - 

"I am unable to communicate with others"

"I feel shy&nervous starting a conversation"

"I have a language barrier"

If it seems familiar then the goal is to determine what part of you that feels/thinks this way?

You 'native' part doesn't feel shy talking to people or finding words, your 'language-learner' part does.

How was it formed and how it affects you and as the result how it affects your speaking ways will be talked about in the podcast which you don't want to miss :)

Let me know how was the recording, what you got out from it?

and in our 1-1, private mindset coaching + language coaching immersion method I use to teach people to communicate classes we'll dive deeper into  your unique case and help you succeed!
