How to improve your IELTS scores - Part 1 ( with transcript)

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!

Всем привет!
Hello, Russian Language Learners!
Salut, les amis!

This is 1-minute (or so) podcast on Survival Phrases when you need to buy some medicine in a pharmacy. We all may have headaches or stomachaches on a trip. Even though you might already know how to do shopping in Russian or ask for directions but if you are not well, it’s a relief when you know what to say to the pharmacist in the nearest pharmacy. (Believe me, it’s on every corner!)  
A piece of advice! Check on the internet Russian analogs of medicine that you are used to buy in your home country.
