Hello Momo.
Hello.
Momo, how did you do on the exam?
Why are you being so polite all of a sudden?

He was like that to Sana and Cheng Xiao.
How did you do?
It was too hard.
Did you finish it?

I just gave up in the middle of it.
Yeah, I gave up too.
Oh, we gave up together.

Did you say fattest?
No, he said smartest person.
Oh, smartest.
Your pronunciation is...
Henry, what's wrong with my pronunciation?
You know it's bad.
How can we understand if you talk like this?
Hey, you're really good at that.
Ho-dong, you can't be like that.
Who are you impersonating right now?
Oh! Ho-dong!
It's Ho-dong!
Oh, it's Ho-dong!
You understand everything I say though.
- No. - I think it's a little hard.
- What is? - It's a little hard to understand.
This is the first time we're meeting.
Shouldn't we be more considerate?
I saw some of the shows you were on.
Do you know who I am?
Why are you looking at Amber?
I know.
You used to be an athlete.
- Athlete... - What kind of athlete?
Hitting people.
You were really good at fighting back in the day.
I apologize.
- I'm sorry. - You heard him, right?
I'm sorry.
This is frustrating.
You guys are good at speaking foreign languages. And you can speak several.
- Yeah. - But you guys are working in Korea,
and I didn't know you were at 5, 6, 7, 8 year-old levels.
- Yeah. - My son is 8 years old.
My son is 8 years old.
We're really that bad?
- Yeah! - What am I going to do?
That's why...
Korean was selected as the best letter in this world.
- Best... - The best letter.
- Letter. - Isn't that like texting?
That's texting on the phone.
- Sentence? - Letter.
- Texting. - Oh the door frame?
Isn't that a text message?
I'll move on.
I'm right about texting.
I think it means sentence.
- Sentence? - The best sentence? Can it be long?
Yeah. It can be long.
Stop talking in English. I can't understand it.
What did you say?
Why is it so hard for me to understand today?
This is hard.
- Right now... - Usually...
I'm not usually like this.
Being here is...
- Why is it so hard today? - Hold on.
- You want to be fluent in Korean, right? - Yeah.
Even though it's hard, let's get through it.
- So... - Where are we getting to?
What?
We're not going anywhere.
I meant let's get through this difficulty.
What does that mean? What's this?
What are you doing?
It means...
you're facing a difficulty
and you're getting through them.
- I understood it! - You got it?
Oh, that's what he meant.
- You have to do that for us to understand. - Fight through what's in front of you.
Even if it's a person, just fight through it.
That's what it meant.
- You got it? - Yes, I got it.
I saw the problems on here and was very surprised.
Joo-yeon.
- Joo-yeon... - Joo-yeon?
In the book, Joo-yeon...
It's the character's name.
- You said Joo-yeon all of a sudden. - No wonder.
Joo-yeon saw a picture of a zebra in a book.
Oh, this one.
Joo-yeon saw a picture of a zebra...
Zebra?
What does that mean?
Zee...
Zebra?
This is harder than I thought.
Zehbra.
Zebra.
Z, e, b, r, a
Ze-Br-a.
Hard...
This is hard.
Ten?
I... just...
left it blank.
- I know you left it blank. - You gave up?
It says here that you left it blank.
What do you think it was?
Momo, what do you think it was?
Adults' words...
- Huh? - The adults.
- Loyalty? - Adults!
People who are older!
- Zebra. - Adults' words.
I think what Momo meant was the things that the adults say.
- That's right. - Right?
Yes, that's right.
So that means Joo-yeon saw a picture of adults saying something in the book?
It doesn't make sense with the picture.
Isn't it that thing?
A young horse that walks fast.
Oh, a young horse?
She saw a picture of a young horse?
Or the Zeb is the name of the horse.
A horse.
Let's say that we were wearing a white shirt...
and spilled coffee on it.
- So now the shirt is stained, right? - Right.
It got dirty.
Then the shirt has stains.
It has stains?
What's a synonym of stain?
You showed us this before.
- I think I'll get it at once. - You should show us...
Can you do it just this once?
A zebra is a horse.
- Like an animal? - What kind of horse?
This kind!
- Oh, a real horse?! - Yes!
You were right!
- But why were you talking about a shirt? - He was right!
The horse has stains.
Isn't it this?
This, this!
Isn't it that?
This is a stain...
Yes! A stain!
- A zebra! - Pose like a horse.
- A stained jacket! - Stained jacket!
- Stained.
Ho-dong, does it mean it just has a color?
- Yes. - It's stain.
It's stain, not spots.
I don't know. Don't speak English. I don't know it.
Is that right?
- I don't know what that means. - He doesn't know that word.
That's why...
- it's called zebra (stained horse). - Isn't it like the crosswalk?
- Cross photo? - Isn't it like the cross walk?
A cross walk. The one with stripes.
- Is it the horse that looks like that? - Yes!
- That kind of horse! - Right.
Horses with stripes.
Oh, I got it!
I know what it is!
But zebras have stripes.
- Yeah. - But these don't have stripes.
But the word means zebra.
The word means zebra.
Oh, really?!
We're the only ones laughing.
Are you happy, everyone?
- Yes! - Yes!
Now you've learned three new words.
Horse.
Stain.
On your clothes... Stain.
Something that got on your clothes. Stain.
And put them together...
Zebra!
Zebra.... Hold on, I--
Ow, my throat. I...
If it's this hard to explain what a "zebra" is...
- Go, Ho-dong! - You can do it!
Go, Ho-dong!
You know, I'm not good at this, and neither are you.
But when people who are not good come together
we can complete each other.
Complete. Right?
But when people who are not good come together, isn't that worse?
Yeah...
That's right. Because we don't know the answer.
That makes sense.
First, try to reach my level.
- Yeah. - Oh, I give up.
We've brought teachers who will teach you Korean.
Your first teacher...
Come in!
Oh, they're really cute!
They're so cute!
Hey, don't you have to do the greeting thing?
- Attention! - Attention!
Greet your teacher.
Hello.
Have a seat.
They're your Korean teachers.
Please introduce yourselves.
Hi, we're siblings and we're your teachers.
- Siblings. - Oh, you're brother and sister?
- Oh really? - Yes.
I'm the older brother, and my name is Jang Hee-joo, and I'm in fifth grade.
You look like you're older.
My dream for the future changes often
so I don't have a dream yet.
Dream for the future?
What's "dream for the future?"
What I want to be when I grow up.
Okay. Got it.
- Thank you. - What he wants to be when he grows up.
We call that "dream for the future."
I thought it was about the funeral.
I thought he was talking about how he wants to die.
Funeral?
That's the level they're at. Do you think you can teach them well?
- Yes. - Yes. We can teach them well. (Dan-Di)
What does it mean to teach them Dan-Di?
It means "well" or "do our best."
That's what Dan-Di means? I've never heard that word.
It's Gyeongsang dialect.
Who gets better grades?
I do.
- Do you admit it? - Yes.
Matjangu. What is that?
- An answer that follows. - Just an answer.
It's an answer that follows.
- Who's right? - I am.
No, I'm right.
Okay, don't fight. Okay?
Hello.
Hi.
She's like a CEO of a company.
Hello.
Attention. Greet your teacher.
Hi.
Hello, I'm Jung Eun-ha and I'm in fifth grade.
My dream is to become a popular teacher.
So I think I'll be the best teacher today too.
Before that, Ms Eun-ha.
Do people tell you that you look like a celebrity?
Yes.
Which celebrity?
Lee Soo-ji, the comedienne.
You know, I think you are much much prettier than Soo-ji.
But still I should admit that I look like her.
But I think you're so much prettier than Lee Soo-ji, Ms. Eun-ha.
Thank you.
How can an elementary school kid be so mature?
No one ever told you you look like me, right?
Yes, they tell me that a lot.
No, you don't look like me.
- I don't? - See? Look.
Do we look alike?
How cute.
We don't look alike, right?
We do, a little.
Where? Which part do you think you look like me?
Like that?
I'm sure you get upset when people tell you you look like me.
No.
- You don't get upset? - No.
- You don't feel offended? - No.
Which part do you look like me again?
Here.
Thank you for saying that you look like me.
Okay, you can have a seat.
Which do you like better, when people tell you you look like Lee Soo-ji or me?
I don't like either.
You said you don't feel offended!
But I'm not happy, either.
- Ms. Eun-ha. - Yes.
- Which student do you want to teach? - Momo.
- Momo? - You like momo?
But there's a lot of good looking guys.
There's Amber too. Why do you want to teach Momo?
I think I'll be awkward with a man.
- I feel more comfortable around girls. - What?
I feel more comfortable around girls.
Ms. Eun-ha. You know people like you, right?
Yes.
So I guess you're awkward around Mr. Hee-joo?
Yes, because we've never met.
Oh, you've never met? Really?
They've never met.
Shake hands, since you've never met.
Hi, I'm Mr. Jang Hee-joo.
Hi, I'm Ms. Jung Eun-ha.
I think I've seen this conversation in a book.
- They look awkward. - How awkward.
- Are you awkward? - Yes.
Why don't you say hi to Ms. Soo-min?
- She looks comfortable. - She does.
So you're comfortable with a younger sister but uncomfortable with younger brothers?
If they're younger than me, I'm fine.
Your face is so red.
Because I have a bad face flush.
Flush?
Flush.
- Like you're excited? - No.
What does it mean?
If I'm cold or hot, my face turns red.
- That's what flush means? - Yes.
My grandmother has it, so
I got it from her.
The DNA.
She got it from her.
What's "got it from her" in Korean?
Isn't that already Korean?
You're right.
I say something nice to you, and you say something nice to me--
There's children, and then there's adults.
You went to do one thing, and you got two benefits.
Two good things.
Hello.
Why are you looking at him like that?
It's just that he looks so much like my uncle.
When he walked in, he looked so much like him.
He looked just like my uncle.
Hi, I'm Lee Sun-woo, and I'm in fourth grade.
I don't really like to study
but I have a lot of books at home, so I read a lot.
And I have a junior black belt in Taekwondo, and I'm good at front kicks.
He's the top ranked student in his class, and a top athlete too.
Ms. Eun-ha. Take a look at Sun-woo.
Since he's younger...
Why did she look up and then down?
Why did you do that? You looked down once.
He's a boy, but you don't feel awkward because he's younger than you?
It's a little bit awkward.
I thought you were fine with a younger boy.
But we've never met.
Because you've never met. I see.
I wonder who's gonna be next.
Rock festival.
Can you introduce yourself?
Hi, I'm Jo Joon-ho, and I'm in fourth grade.
Sun-woo and I have been friends since we were little, and we're in the same class.
(He tries to win)
(But he doesn't even care)
I usually let people win, but I won't let anybody else win this time.
I really want to meet a good partner and win today. Yeah!
So, Mr. Joon-ho, how is your relationship with you and Mr. Sun-woo?
- Good. - Good.
- You're best friends? - Yes.
Who gets better grades?
I do.
I saw the trophy. So Mr. Sun-woo does Taekwondo.
Yes.
- And Mr. Joon-ho does too. - Yes.
Mr. Joon-ho, what belt do you have?
I took a lot of breaks, so I have a red belt.
Does that mean Sun-woo is better at Taekwondo too?
Well...
- What? - I guess...
- He says yes. - Sorry?
He said yes.
- She's translating for him. - She must've been frustrated.
- The counter for horses. - Pil.
- The counter for phone calls. - Tong.
You just need to remember this.
Lightning without rain.
Garlic for when you eat pork belly?
No, it's not that.
Who's going to come in?
Hello.
He looks smart!
- I want him as my teacher! - Me too!
He looks like a good student.
Wow, he looks like a character from an animation.
Yeah, he looks like he came straight out of an animation.
Oh! You know the potato from "Toy Story"?
You look like him!
Hi, I'm Park Ji-min, and I'm in fifth grade.
I don't really get good grades, but
I listen to my teacher well, so I got a lot of praise.
I hope I get a lot of praise for teaching my student well today.
He talks kind of like a machine.
Did you say you get good grades or not?
I said I don't.
That's shocking.
Is your hair naturally curly or did you get a perm for the show?
My mom made me.
A counter for houses? What's a counter?
What-- What is this? What?
This won't be in the quiz.
These won't be in the quiz.
- You don't know it, huh? - No.
Hi, Ho-dong!
- Wait, wait... - Let me move this a little.
I don't have anything to say.
We were told we'd have elementary school students here today.
I'm in first grade.
- Oh, you're an elementary school student? - Yes.
I'm in first grade.
Nice to meet you.
- You two are in the same class? - Yes.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
Oh, it's okay. Thank you.
First, Ms. Hwang Boon-yi, can you introduce yourself?
I...
(Nervous)
I am from Gusan-myun, Sujung Elementary school...
And I'm in first grade.
That was Ms. Hwang Boon-yi.
And next...
When I was little, the war broke out,
so I couldn't go to school.
I wanted to study so much, so
I enrolled in first grade at age 76.
There must be a lot of times when you feel happy that you're learning.
Yes, of course.
Now, I can write my own address on my own to show everybody.
And my name... I could've not known how to write it.
But now I can write my name.
And even at the bank when I write my account number.
I can't even describe the joy.
Who could understand?
So are you moving up to second grade after you finish first grade?
I am debating if I should drop out.
She's always saying she can't do this.
She wants to give up.
I said you can come any time you want but you can't leave as you please.
This woman babbles on.
- She talks a lot? - Yeah, she does.
Well, I told you she can't just leave.
Think about how we lived.
We should learn all the letters and graduate.
Ma'am, these are all foreigners.
Can you teach them?
I am not so sure. I don't know.
I can't.
You are not sure?
Who do you think would be the most difficult to teach?
Who are you thinking?
Not the smartest one.
Number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Who do you think would be the worst student?
I think number 3 would be the worst.
You think Momo would be the worst?
This is war!
Okay guys. Study now. We'll see you guys later at the exam time.
Teachers and students should meet now.
(Now they go to the teachers' houses and study together)
What's the hurry?
- How do you feel now? - I feel so good.
Small gourd!
It's like you have gone bankrupt.
Aren't you cold?
Do you live here?
How much longer?
Otherwise, we have to run.
We don't have much time.
Let's win this thing! Number one!
Number one!
- You really didn't know me? - No.
- Really? - Yeah.
- This is me. - Here?
It's great.
Have you come with her?
Yes.
Hello.
Hi there.
- Nice to meet you. - You are so pretty.
- Take a seat. - Thank you.
I love your place.
I have never been to someone's house in Korea.
It's great.
- I will study hard. - Okay.
We're going to study the unit for counting.
Do you know the unit for counting houses?
For counting houses.
The uni for counting houses?
The unit.
Unit.
The uni for counting houses? What's uni?
What's uni?
The unit is...
something we use to count things.
Counting?
For example, when we count numbers, or--
Oh, unit!
We have a similar word in Japanese.
You know-
This is it, right?
You know--
The unit for counting houses?
What is this?
I don't know what this means.
(How do I explain this...?)
Like one something, two something...
Oh, how to count houses.
What we use to measure or count things.
That's a unit.
Do you know the unit for counting houses?
No.
We use the word "Chae" to count houses.
Chae?
Do you use the word when you count houses? Instead of one house, two house--
One chae, two chae, like this.
I didn't know that.
We are going to study the unit for counting a knot when you knit.
A unit to count knots.
- Nuts? - Yes.
Nuts?
Knots.
Nuts?
Knots.
Knots?
What's that?
A unit to count knots in knitting.
I have no idea what it is.
I don't know any word in this sentence.
Knitting is...
Do you know sewing?
- What? - Sewing.
Sewing?
- You take the needle and-- - Like this?
It's similar to sewing. But you use wood stick instead of needle to knit clothes.
What?
Knit clothes?
You use yarn...
You take the thread and make loops on the wood
and weave.. that's what knitting is.
On the wood?
Wood stick.
Wood stick?
What does it mean?
It's like sewing with a wood stick.
- Wood. - Wood?
You slice the wood.
- Oh, this? - Yes.
What is this?
What is this then?
A knot is....
You know how thread is like straight?
If you don't do anything, the thread will slip out.
I mean, when you put the thread through the eye.
A knot is something you make to hold the thread on the eye.
You make the thread thicker, so it doesn’t slip through.
How is that related to knitting?
You make knots in knitting.
What?
- So to speak, this is... - Hm?
What do you think this is?
What do I think this is?
- You don't know it either, do you? - No.
I am not sure either.
What are we going to do, teacher?
What are we supposed to do if you don't know them?
This won't come out on the test.
Let's study proverbs.
Peel the pumpkin seed behind the door.
What could that be?
You work hard when no one's looking.
I think you are right.
- You don't know either? - No.
If you listen to elders, you will get rice cake even while sleeping.
It means that you have to listen closely to what your elders say
and behave according to their lessons.
- Next question. - Okay.
"See your im(lover), and pick bbong(mulberry)."
What could this be?
See your im...?
I think it has the same meaning as "one stone, two birds."
"one stone, two birds."
What is im?
Im...
- I don't know. - You don't?
You don't know it?
What about this one? "Would there be spider web on the living person's mouth?"
"Would there be spider web on the living person's mouth?"
This one...
is not going to be on the test.
- Nothing on this page will come out. - Is that right?
We did the first five questions. That's enough.
I think we are on the same level.
I think so too.
You said you are not good at studying, right?
I am not really good.
Me too. What do we do?
We both are not very good at studying. Are we going to be okay?
We will be able to memorize if we read this a lot.
"Only when outgoing words are good, incoming words are good."
This proverb is like this. If I yell at Ten, you'll yell back at me, right?
But if I compliment you, you will compliment me too.
So you have to speak nicely to others in order to receive nice words from others.
So hence "Only when outgoing words are good, incoming words are good."
It's like you will treat me well when I treat you well.
Now we have to explain this.
How do I do that?
When you say kind words,
you will receive kinds words.
"See your im(lover), and pick bbong(mulberry)."
Let me give you an example.
Let's say I went to BTS concert.
When I went there, TWICE was having a concert too.
Then, my "im" will be BTS.
"Bbong" is TWICE.
I went to see BTS and saw TWICE too.
I got both "im" and "bbong."
I went out to get one thing but made two boons.
Not made, but received.
(Looking for soongnyoong(crispy rice soup) in a well) - Soongnyoong is...
Soongnyoong is...
What is soongnyoong?
That's... Wait.
How do I explain this?
Soongnyoong is...
You make rice in a rice pot.
After you're done with eating rice,
there's this thing called nooroonggi, it's yellow stuff.
It's like rice skin.
It is stuck in the bottom of the rice pot.
You pour hot water in the rice pot.
And you let it sit there.
Then it becomes soongnyoong.
Soongnyoong?
Is this how you spell it?
How do I explain this?
Let's say there is a building.
And let's assume that there is no chocolate in the building.
Imagine someone comes to the building and asks for chocolate.
It's like asking for something that cannot be attained there.
So that's stupid.
- Stupid. - Stupid?
Waddle. You know what a duck is, right?
How do ducks walk?
I am sorry, teacher.
- They waddle. - Waddle?
The next word is grin.
Like this?
You got it?
Flickering.
This is easy.
Snakes have long tongues, right?
That's flickering a tongue.
Let's take a break.
I need a break.
Now we rest.
- Really? - We studied a lot.
I think
my Korean hasn't improved much even after studying for 3 years.
I am sure you speak better than you did when first came here.
Just a little.
- But it has improved. - Right.
How long have you been living here? Three years?
You improved this much in three years.
- Then it will get better? - Yes.
What if it stops?
- If it doesn't improve anymore? - If it doesn't...
Then you just keep what you have.
Your Korean is okay.
That makes me sad.
- Are you guys playing? - No.
We were studying.
We need to take a break. I have a headache.
- Since we're done with proverbs-- - Who is this?
Hyun-a.
There's Momo.
Where?
(There are many pictures of TWICE in Eun-ha's room)
- Who's your favorite in TWICE? - Momo.
Can you dance TWICE's TT dance?
I will study harder if you show me your TT dance.
Come on. Show me!
I am not going to study then.
What?
Come on!
She's going to dance.
Why are you asking me?
I will study harder.
- Do it. - You do it.
- Then we do it together. - Great idea!
If I have to do it, then we do it together.
Let's go!
Wow, you girls are good.
Wow.
So cute. Let's go!
How do you do this?
Why am I dancing in front of my student?
How do you do this?
- Good? - Wow.
That was great.
Wow.
Wow, Ms. Eun-ha, you're really good.
- I'm not here to dance, I'm here to teach. - Right.
Alright. Next.
(Student Kangnam and 1st grader teachers Hwang Boon-yi and Lee Myung-gae)
Where should we start?
I have no words even if I had 10 mouths.
I know this one.
What does it mean?
So.. even if I had 10 mouths,
I have no words.
So like..
No matter how many times I explain, it was my wrong.
- Good. - Right?
I think I know this one. I heard this in dramas.
You know that one well.
The second one.
Lips meet.
Lips.. lips meeting. Isn't it that?
You and my lips meet.
Lips meeting.
You meet lips to lie to this one person.
That's not it.
You meet lips when two people love one other.
It's that one?
Meeting lips..
A kiss?
Right. Yes.
- Next.. - Is that right?
Are you sure that's right?
It's this?
Meeting lips?
Isn't it a proverb?
- Meeting lips. - Really?
(Something's weird)
(But)
(Grandma's words are law in this room)
Eating mustard while crying..
Mastard. Mastard while crying.
It says mustard. Not mastard.
- Eating mustard while crying. - Mastard. Mastard.
What's a mastard?
Mastard. That thing that you eat that's spicy.
Yeah, mustard.
The seasoning that spices up your nose.
- Yeah that one. - Mastard.
Mustard.
It's not mustard. It's mastard.
(Grandma's words are law in this room)
It's mustard.
Do they say mustard in Japan?
No, mustard in Korea.
Eating mastard while crying. What does it mean then?
Won't you cry more if you eat more mustard?
Mastard makes your nose spicy.
Right.
It gets really spicy.
- It tears you up. - That's what it means.
Eating mastard while crying.
What does that mean?
Wait. While crying.. while crying..
The reason you eat it while crying is because..
when someone makes you eat it when you don't want to,
you have to eat it even if you're crying.
That's what that means.
Long bag strap?
Long bag strap.. this means..
- Long bag strap. - What does that mean?
The bag is small but
the strap is too long.
So it drags on the floor when you carry it.
- You end up having to drag the bag. - So it's too long?
Right. It can't be too long.
You have to shorten the strap so you can carry it.
That's what that means.
Bag strap is long.
I don't know about that one.
Not knowing the alphabet with the hoe in front of you.
If you do this,
If you do this, it makes a giyuk.
But even if you have it in front of you, you don't know giyuk.
Why not?
Because the person never learned.
That's why when I'm almost 80 in age,
I'm learning how to read and writ in Elementary school.
I'm learning that this is giyuk, and this is Na.
That's why you must learn.
- You don't know giyuk even with the hoe in front of you. - Right.
- So they didn't learn? - Right.
I try my best to study but
sometimes I'd get things wrong
and there are things I don't know.
So that's not knowing giyuk with the hoe in front of you.
(Where's Hwang Boon-yi Elementary school teacher?)
- Kangnam. - Yes.
You have to eat in order to study well.
- Kangnam. - Yes.
You have to eat in order to study well.

It doesn't matter.
Let's just grill it and eat quickly.
You're cutting them already?
It's okay. It has to be mellow to cook fast.
Oh, when they're smaller?
The scissors aren't working.
Raw meat is usually hard to cut.
Yeah, it's hard to cut raw meat.
Just leave them.
It looks good.
They look so good.
These are good quality meat.
I love it. Oh my goodness.
This is great. You know Korean already. Why are you here to learn?
(Let's just eat Korean food~)

You don't have to finish it if you're full.
Eat up and study hard.

You'll have to get married soon.

What am I supposed to do?

Invite me to your wedding. I'll go.
You're going to marry me?
- You'll marry me? - No. When you get married.
- When you get married, - Invite her.
- I'll go. - Oh, you'll come.
You scared me. I thought you said you'll marry me.

And the other teacher is saying a following response.
