Hi, everybody. My name's Esther.
And in this video, I want to talk about a very important vocabulary word
for all Koreans to know, okay.
And that word is ‘monsoon season’.
What is ‘monsoon season’?
Well, every summer many foreigners come and they're surprised by how much rain there is, right?
In the summer, in Korea, for about one month,
usually in July, there's a lot of rain, okay.
And in English we call that the ‘monsoon season’.
So it's very important for Koreans to have a good umbrella.
Maybe some rain boots, right?
But also it can cause some problems for some businesses and homes if there's too much rain and flooding, right?
So if you see a foreigner, and they ask about summer in Korea,
it's very important that you remember that you tell them about monsoon season.
Okay so let's look on the board and look at this example sentence.
“The monsoon season in Korea begins in summer.”
Right? I just talked about that.
Again, “The monsoon…”
Let's pronounce it together.
‘monsoon’
So “The monsoon season in Korea begins in summer.”
And as we said, the monsoon season lasts for about one month,
and there's lots of rain during the monsoon season.
Okay, let's look at some more examples together.
Let's look at these examples.
“It's very humid during the monsoon season.”
“The monsoon season is coming.”
“I need to buy a new umbrella for the monsoon season.”
Okay so in this video we learned about the vocabulary word ‘monsoon season’.
Remember, it's a time in Korea when there's a lot of rain and it's very hot and sticky, right?
Now, in Southern California where I'm from,
there is no monsoon season.
We get a little bit of rain in the winter time which is very different from Korea.
But again, nothing like the rain we see here.
Okay so that is something that I'm still trying to get used to.
Okay, so again, the word we learned is ‘monsoon season’.
Don't forget it and see you next time. Bye.
