Korea is a family-oriented
culture. Therefore it’s critical to
9 – FamilyLingo
learn about family and
10 – Challenges M1W4 relationships.

The Korean word for “family” is
Module 1 Week 5 12 Lessons 가족. This can be a very
confusing topic for those
Module 1 Week 6 10 Lessons | 1 Quiz learning Korean, but think of it
like this: In Korea, we’re all one
big family!

When you think of family, you
Module 1 Week 9 8 Lessons | 1 Quiz may think of immediate family
first. But in Korea, your friends
can be referred to as your “little
brother” or “big sister”. The
server at the restaurant can be
Module 1 Week… 10 Lessons | 3 Quizzes referred to as “aunt.” The old
man on the street can be
Module 1 Week… 5 Lessons | 18 Quizzes referred to as “grandfather.”

This lesson is going to give you
the 80/20 lowdown on family
vocabulary and relationships in
Korea. It’s not everything, but
it’s everything you’ll need to
5 – Location Words: Come & Go know, at least for now. We can
always add more later.
7 – Numbers: The China System 11-… Ready? Let’s get started.
8 – CityLingo
First and foremost, we need to
9 – FamilyLingo
learn how to say “man” and
“woman” in Korean.

남자
man

여자
woman

These are very important
words to know because a lot of
the family vocabulary will be
Module 1 Week 10 11 Lessons | 1 Quiz dependent on whether you are

a 남자 or a 여자. Let’s find out
Module 1 Week… 11 Lessons | 2 Quizzes what we mean!

Immediate Family
When you first think of family,
what do you think of? Of
course! Mom and dad! In
5 – Location Words: Come & Go Korean, we can call them 부모
님 (parents).
7 – Numbers: The China System 11-… Here they are individually:
8 – CityLingo
엄마
9 – FamilyLingo
mother
아빠
father
They kind of sound like the

English words “mama” and
Module 1 Week 7 11 Lessons | 3 Quizzes “papa.” That should help us
remember them!
Next, siblings. But wait, that’s

not so straightforward in

Korean. If you’re older, it’s easy.
It’s just your younger brother
Module 1 Week… 11 Lessons | 2 Quizzes or sister.
 Take Notes
남동생

Nice! Notice how the second
7 – Numbers: The China System 11-… two syllables are the same: 동

sibling.” Can you recognize the
9 – FamilyLingo first syllable in each word?
That’s right, they’re the first
syllables of the gender words 남
11 – To the Summit M1W4 자 and 여자. Makes sense!
Module 1 Week 5 12 Lessons But when referring to older

siblings, it is different

male or female. Take a look!

There we have it. But it’s
important to understand that
Koreans use these words in
their social relationships as
well, and not just for immediate
5 – Location Words: Come & Go family. Remember, in Korea,
we’re all family!
7 – Numbers: The China System 11-… So a 22-year-old girl with a 23-

year-old male friend would call
8 – CityLingo
him 오빠. But that same boy
9 – FamilyLingo would call his 24-year-old male

friend 형. That 22-year-old girl
who has another 22-year-old
female (or male) friend would
call them by name since they
Module 1 Week 5 12 Lessons are 친구 (friend).
친구

friend
In Korean, your 친구 is
someone who is the same age
as you.
Module 1 Week 10 11 Lessons | 1 Quiz These age differences also

determine how we speak to
each other in Korean. But you
don’t need to worry about that

Now onto more family

vocabulary!
Extended Family
When you think of extended
Module 1 Week 8 11 Lessons | 2 Quizzes family, perhaps you first think
of your grandfather and
Module 1 Week 9 8 Lessons | 1 Quiz grandmother, the backbones of
the family! Let’s learn how to
refer to our grandparents in
Korean.
 Take Notes
할머니
grandmother
4 – Family Member Titles 할아버지

grandfather
NOTE
8 – CityLingo
On the mother's side of the

9 – FamilyLingo family, the grandfather and
grandmother are referred to
10 – Challenges M1W4 as 외할아버지 and 외할머
니, respectively. This is to
help distinguish between
the mother's and father's
sides of the family.

Great! Our grandparents are
called our 조부모 in Korean!
Now how about your aunt and

Module 1 Week 9 8 Lessons | 1 Quiz uncle?
 Take Notes
이모
aunt
4 – Family Member Titles 삼촌

uncle

삼 means “three” in Korean, so
7 – Numbers: The China System 11-… you can think of your 삼촌 as
three parts removed from you:
8 – CityLingo you, your parents, and your
uncle.
9 – FamilyLingo

NOTE
Module 1 Week 5 12 Lessons 이모 is actually the word for
your aunt on the mother's
Module 1 Week 6 10 Lessons | 1 Quiz side of the family, while an
aunt on the father's side is
Module 1 Week 7 11 Lessons | 3 Quizzes called 고모. However, it's
common to refer to a
middle-aged woman who is
not immediate family as "이
모" in Korean.
In the same way, you think of

your cousin as four (사) parts
Module 1 Week… 10 Lessons | 3 Quizzes removed from you: you, your
parents, your uncle, your
Module 1 Week… 5 Lessons | 18 Quizzes cousin.
 Take Notes
사촌

That’s all there is to it!

Age-dependent Terms
There are also a few age-
dependent terms that are
8 – CityLingo
important to mention. For
example, a middle-aged woman
9 – FamilyLingo
and man in Korea are referred
to as 아줌마 and 아저씨,
respectively.
Module 1 Week 5 12 Lessons 아줌마

middle-aged woman

아저씨

Finally, you’ll need to know the

words “child” and “baby.”
