When you drink, you should not fill someone else’s glass until it’s empty.
Turn your head so your boss (or anyone older) won’t have to watch you drinking. This only applies in formal situations, usually your boss will ask you to be more comfortable (though many still turn their head, because it’s considered polite to still do it once you get permission not to). You know, now that I think of it, you see the main character of 엽기적인 그녀 do this when he drinks with his girlfriend’s dad.

I will post vocabulary I have picked up recently as often as possible. I will also post where I learned it and any special method I use to remember it. I will also link each word to the dictionary definition.
Doing this has a few meanings for me. First, I have a personal record of what I’ve learned so I can go back and easily review. Second, anyone else can follow and see the methods I have used to learn Korean and pick up some vocab.
