Everyday Korean with Ann and Esther Episode 8: Family

Ann Oh and Esther Choi
May 9, 2025

The eighth episode of Everyday Korean with Ann & Esther delves into the intricate terms of family relationships. From the names for family roles, such as parents and siblings, we discuss the familial structures and the cultural variations in family dynamics. Since the words and the names for each role in the family differ in Korea, we go in depth about the definitions of the meanings!
