If you're trying to pick up the Gyeongsang dialect, you don't want to miss Lee Sun-min's class.
On March 19, the YouTube channel 'Jungnyeon Lee Sang-jun' posted a video titled "Free Gyeongsang Dialect Lesson Taught by Native Speaker Lee Sun-min [Meggi Study, Lesson 66]." In it, comedian Lee Sun-min breaks down the dialect so anyone can follow along. The clip is drawing attention for his lively teaching style and practical, real-world examples.
In the video, Lee explains hallmark features and a variety of expressions from the Gyeongsang dialect, giving viewers a chance to repeat after him. Dialects reflect local culture, and understanding the differences can be a surprisingly fun experience.
One viewer commented, "I lived in Gimcheon, right next to Gumi, for 20 years and now live in Seoul, but adding ~yeo at the end in the dialect is correct..." Another shared, "I'm from Gumi, and after moving to Seoul, friends and even my girlfriend kept asking why I always spoke in formal speech."
