This is a post requested by @hailstudies​! Sorry for taking 100000 years :(

There are a few rude stereotypes that you don’t need to know unless you plan on insulting people from that region so I haven’t included those!

Make sure to check out Regions in Korea to find out the provinces and cities that belong in each of the areas!

경기도 (Gyeonggi-do)-  Because this is near where Seoul is and where the “cities” are, there are a lot of people from other regions and there isn’t actually a clear stereotype for them.

강원도 (Gangwon-do)- Gangwon-do is mountainous so it’s stereotyped that they are strong and manly but this isn’t a popular stereotype.

충청도 (Chungcheong-do)- Because of their satoori and the way they act and their “vibe”, its stereotyped that people fron Chungceong-do aren’t blunt/honest, and very slow due to their satoori sounding dragged (e.g. soooooo instead of so)

전라도 (Jeolla-do)- Because they have amazing food, its stereotyped that everyone is a great cook! Jeolla-do also has a long history of being invaded, so its stereotyped that they tend to stick with each other and are distant with foreigners and people that aren’t like them.

부산광역시 (Busan)- Since Busan is near the coast, they must all love seafood and the beach

경상도 (Gyeongsang-do)- Because of their satoori and its tone, etc, People from Geyongsang-do are stereotyped as tough, and people that don’t show emotion or aegyo, etc. They’re also stereotyped as blunt, willing to fight any enemies but also your ride or die (very loyal)!

- If you want to learn one language and practice a few times a week, that’s fine.

- If you want to study 7 languages at once and practice every day, that’s fine.

- If you like to go out and use your target language, that’s fine.

- If you just like to watch movies or youtube in your target language, that’s fine.

Different things work for different people.

Some things may be scientifically proven to work better, but not everyone has the time or the energy.

1 Learn typical recipes (maybe try to recreate them)

2 Watch movies (not only the genres and themes you prefer, but watch their classic movies that everyone there already watched)

3 Listen to music (same as 2)

4 Watch and read the news (follow the news on social media)

5 Watch people travelling around the country

6 Follow youtubers (the vloggers who visit buildings, who talk about festivals and holidays and do stuff at the town)

7 Read books (you can read in english and then re-read in the target language, it’ll make easier)

8 Follow random people on social media (in that way you’ll can see the everyday language, photos of some city, political stuff, etc)

9 Follow meme pages - memes aren’t spaceless and timeless, they talk about some subject the people from that culture are talking about
