Hey everyone,
2026 has finally started.
How was the end of your year? I hope you were able to wrap up 2025 in a good way, at your own pace.
Since it’s the very beginning of the year, I thought we could start with a simple Korean New Year greeting together.
새해 복 많이 받으세요
sae-hae bok man-i bat-eu-se-yo
“Please receive a lot of good fortune in the new year.”
But this expression isn’t just a polite phrase.
In Korean, it’s a warm wish. When you say this, you’re hoping that someone’s year will be peaceful, healthy, and full of good moments — not just “lucky,” but well overall.
That’s why people say this to family, friends, coworkers, and even teachers.
It’s gentle, respectful, and very Korean.
So before anything else today, I want to say this to you:
새해 복 많이 받으세요.
By the way — do you have any New Year resolutions?
Nothing too big or perfect, just something you want to keep going this year.
For me, my goals for 2026 are pretty simple.
I want to keep making Korean podcasts, and I want to keep building good, meaningful Korean classes — slowly, but consistently.
New year, new me… right?
Or maybe just the same us, but showing up again.
If you’ve been hesitating about studying Korean, maybe this is a good moment to start.
Not because everything has to change, but because starting now is sometimes easier than waiting for the “perfect” time.
If learning Korean is something you’d like to make space for this year, I just wanted to let you know that Early Bird pricing for the January Like a Korean class ends on January 5th.
There are 4 days left.
You can take a look whenever you’re ready here:
However you choose to start this year, I hope 2026 brings you steadiness, curiosity, and small moments where Korean feels a little more familiar than before.
Talk soon,
Inae
