Shit Koreans Say!

So I came across this video on the blog Korean As It Is and Ohmygawd, it's hilarious to me and now I'm going to use it as a learning tool for myself. I'm challenging myself to learn every word / phrase in the video. I think it'll be fun. I've watched the video at least once for the past 3 times and it makes me laugh each time. Luckily on Korean As Is, he took the time out to transcribe the phrases and I have pasted them below. I like fun ways of learning and this will definitely be one!

Hey! (getting attention)

I’ll do it a little later (perfect for giving an excuse)

Alright (= I got it)

좀 있다가 나갈개

Older brother.. I can eat this really quick (this is a silly kind of 자랑/showing off)

At the end, Lydia sings the first few lines a little nursery rhyme about a rabbit going somewhere, but I’m not going to transcribe that as the rest took longer to transcribe than I thought it would.

…..

My goal is to be able to listen to the video and understand each word / phrase as well as to be able to transcribe it as he did above. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress :-).
