The One With Nneka — Korean As A Second Culture: — Episode 14 (2022)

I got interested in Korean culture by watching their movies and noticing the similarities between it and the Igbo culture.

I love how despite everything they went through, the oppression and uprisings, Koreans never backed down and stayed strong and true to themselves. I really respect that about them. — Nneka (2022)

In this episode, we will discuss a topic dear to my heart. The Korean language and culture! Esther Nneka Nnanna describes herself as a “struggling writer, digital entrepreneur, and culture enthusiast.” She’s also a content creator, Korean speaker and teacher, art creator, and self-taught multilingual.

I met her via her delightful Instagram handle, where she parodies Korean culture. As a recent learner of Korean myself, it was a lot of fun talking with Nneka, and we tried to carry Ayomide along. (I forgive her cliched love of Lee Min Ho, who I think is overrated!)…
