Show Notes
In Korea, May is called 가족의 달 - the Month of Family. Throughout the month, three special days honour the relationships that shape a life: 어린이날 (Children's Day, May 5), 어버이날 (Parents' Day, May 8), and 스승의 날 (Teachers' Day, May 15). In this episode of TOPIK & Beyond, host Eliza explores the cultural meaning behind each day and teaches 12 Korean words and expressions that bring them to life. This episode also includes a short Korean story segment told at A2–B1 pace - a quiet 어버이날 moment about a son, his mother, and two red carnations. By the end, you'll have vocabulary that helps you understand not just the calendar - but the values Korean culture holds most dear. This episode is suitable for Korean learners at A2, B1, and B2 level, and for anyone curious about Korean culture and what Koreans celebrate in May.

More from Korean Unpacked
잘 먹겠습니다 translates as “I will eat well” - but nobody at a Korean dinner table is making a promise about their eating. In this episode of Korean Unpacked, Eliza unpacks the everyday Korean phrases that don’t translate neatly into English, and what they’re really doing: marking a moment, and noticing the people in it.
In a textbook, it’s 저는 어제 친구를 만났어요. Between friends, it’s 나 어제 친구 만났어. So where did the particles go? In this episode of Korean Unpacked, Eliza shows what really happens to Korean particles in everyday conversation - when they disappear, when they shrink, and when they stay.
You learned that 을/를 marks the thing you like, need, or have. So why does Korean say 커피가 좋아요, 시간이 필요해요 and 돈이 없어요? In this episode of Korean Unpacked, Eliza shows why these aren’t mistakes - and the one simple question that helps you choose the right particle.
You know 은/는 is the topic particle and 이/가 marks the subject. So why do particles still feel uncertain in real Korean? In the first episode of Korean Unpacked (formerly TOPIK & Beyond), Eliza looks at what particles are actually doing in a conversation: framing, identifying, contrasting, and sometimes quietly disappearing.
Episode 100 breaks the usual format on purpose. No structured lesson, no vocabulary cluster. Just Eliza, speaking honestly about what surprised her over a hundred episodes, what she got wrong early on, and one practical thing she wants every listener to take away - plus what she'd tell the version of herself who recorded Episode 1. It closes with a genuine thank-you to everyone who's been listening - however long you've been here.
