I'm Jina, a Korean language instructor living in France.In this third and final part of our 8th episode, our guest Haerim joins Rie and Hayoung to share the Korean words that have touched their hearts — and we dive into one of the most important secrets in language learning: the power of input. 🧡Each guest shares a word or expression that holds a special warmth for them — from a phrase that brought unexpected comfort, to a word that helped reframe how they see emotions. We then explore why building up input patiently, like filling a jar drop by drop, is the key to speaking naturally in any language. ✨💡 Today's Key Expressions그럴 수 있죠 (That can happen): A warm expression of empathy and reassurance, used to acknowledge someone's feelings without judgment.울컥하다 (To choke up): The feeling of emotions suddenly rising — when you're on the verge of tears from being deeply moved.퍼주다 (To give generously): A compound of '푸다' and '주다,' meaning to give freely and wholeheartedly without holding back.포근하다 (Cozy): A word that carries warmth and softness — like being wrapped in a blanket.웃프다 (Laugh-sad): A neologism blending '웃기다' (funny) and '슬프다' (sad) — for those bittersweet moments that make you laugh and ache at the same time.심쿵 (Heart flutter): That sudden leap of the heart in a thrilling or touching moment.⏰ Chapters00:00 [Highlight] Words That Warm the Heart & The Jar That Has a Hole00:51 [Words We Love] '그럴 수 있죠' — Empathy in Three Words01:54 [Words We Love] '울컥하다' — Learning to Let Emotions Out03:12 [Story] Meeting Poet Na Tae-joo: Writing When You Feel Overwhelmed04:26 [Words We Love] '퍼주다' & '포근하다' — Words with Temperature06:56 [Language] Neologisms with Heart: 웃프다 & 심쿵08:14 [Input] Why Your Jar Needs to Overflow Before You Can Speak09:35 [Story] A Trilingual Son: Korean, Japanese, and French12:08 [Honesty] Burnout, Ten Years, and Involuntary Input13:10 [Science] Stephen Krashen & The Neuroscience of Listening13:45 [Insight] This Podcast Is the Ultimate Input!14:18 [Advice] Never Rush — Wait for the Jar to Overflow14:47 [Reality] When the Jar Has a Hole: Language Learning After 4016:08 [Wisdom] Input Wisely, Not Just More18:06 [Humor] We Are Animals of Forgetting~19:02 [Closing] No Limits in Korean Learning — Let's Stay Up All Night?#JinaChat #LearnKorean #AuthenticKorean #TOPIK4 #TOPIK5 #InputHypothesis #StephenKrashen #KoreanWords #KoreanPodcast #StudyKorean #IntermediateKorean #AdvancedKorean #KoreanCulture #포근하다 #울컥하다
