Korean Emotions & Feelings - Happy, Sad, Upset & Subtle Nuances | Learn Korean W18 (Jeonju Hanok)

Learn the Korean of the heart — stroll through Jeonju Hanok Village, where graceful tiled roofs ripple like waves, with Madam J and pick up the 'real Korean' for expressing feelings with delicacy. From core emotion words like '기쁘다' (happy), '슬프다' (sad), '긴장되다' (nervous) and '속상하다' (upset), to the '-아서/어서' pattern that links a cause to a feeling ('시험이 끝나서 기뻐요' — glad the exam is over), and subtle nuances such as '속상하다' vs '서운하다' and '벅차다' vs '뭉클하다'. You'll also learn empathy and comfort like '많이 속상했겠어요' (you must have been so upset), and feel Korea's '정' (jeong) — the warmth beyond words.
