  • What ismonsoon 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 themonsoon 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.

  • SoThe monsoon season in Korea begins in summer.”

  • Okay so in this video we learned about the vocabulary wordmonsoon 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.
