📌 Here's a script for this episode : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cZnVGOw6IMLkseFGxSUUF7kwfZPn80_6_XltlkUtwI8/edit?usp=sharing

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 Korean의 첫 번째 에피소드에서는 한국의 대표적인 명절, 설날(음력 새해) 이야기를 나눠요.
설날이 언제인지, 왜 한국 사람들에게 특별한지, 또 어떤 전통과 음식을 즐기는지도 함께 알아봅니다.
세배, 세뱃돈, 떡국, 윷놀이 같은 설날 문화부터 새해 인사 표현 “새해 복 많이 받으세요!”까지—쉽고 천천히 배워볼 거예요.
저, 정아와 함께 한국의 문화를 즐겁게 배우는 시간! Joah Korean과 함께 해요 😊
