What happens if you use 반말 to a stranger?
Have you ever mistakenly used Casual Speech, when you were supposed to speak politely?
I met with Korean Arah and we discussed what would happen in these situations, as well as why it's important to know the correct way of speaking.
Special thanks again to Korean Arah! Make sure to check out her web site for learning Korean, which I've linked in the video's description.

Russian Nuclear Scenarios in the Ukraine War: Unlikely, but if Putin is Facing Strategic Defeat and National & Personal Humiliation, Maybe
If the Russian reservist mobilization fails to stop Ukrainian counter-offensives, then Putin might consider nuclear escalation.
This is a re-post of an op-ed I wrote for Channel News Asia on possible Russian nuclear use scenarios in the Ukraine war.
I continue to be pretty skeptical of this, at least at the moment. As I argued on Twitter, it is just not clear to me what target in Ukraine is so valuable and big that it merits the huge geopolitical blowback risk of this dramatic step. For example, is the Ukrainian army so massed together that it would be justify this much force? Not that I know of. Is there an infrastructure target in Ukraine which is so large and so strategically significant that a nuke would be worth the risk? Again, I don’t think so. Most of what Ukraine has which is worth striking can be attacked with conventional weapons.
The one possible option is a ‘counter-value’ nuking of a Ukrainian city – to shock Ukraine into surrender, and even wipe out the Ukrainian leadership in one stroke if the target were Kiev. But this would kill so many people that it would look like nuclear genocide. Russia’s friends would all abandon it, and NATO might well openly enter the war.
I cover a lot of this in the CNA essay. Here is the original, pre-edited version:
Russian President Vladimir Putin is in a tight spot. His invasion of Ukraine is flailing. He expected a quick victory when he launched his February attack. A blitzkrieg would allow him to replace Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with a Russian stooge. This puppet would block Ukraine’s drift toward the West and allow the Russian army to withdraw. Similar to Putin’s rapid absorption of Crimea in 2014, the Ukraine war would be over before the West had a chance to respond.
Instead, the war degenerated into an expensive stalemate. The Russian army took territory in the south and east early on but has been unable to make major gains since then. Putin’s best units have already been committed to the war and are degraded after months of combat. Ukraine has fought back ferociously and launched a counter-offensive earlier this month which retrieved about 20% of Putin’s initial gains.
Putin has panicked, declaring a massive mobilization of Russian reservists. But there is widespread suspicion in the analyst community that these forces will not win the war, just drag it out. Russia does not have the logistical capability to deploy, train, or kit these new forces properly. Stories are already emerging of these newly impressed reservists being sent to Ukraine with no training. The sheer size of Russia’s mobilized army may slow down Ukraine, but it is unlikely to change the long-term outcome – Russian exhaustion and withdrawal.
Please read the rest here.

Deungunsa Temple – 등운사 (Yanggu, Gangwon-do)
Deungunsa Temple is located in southern Yanggu, Gangwon-do on the eastern arm of Mt. Samyeongsan (1,198 m). Deungunsa Temple is a modern temple some 21 km from the DMZ. The temple is run by a very friendly nun that did her training at Naewonsa Temple in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do. The temple is also home to an equally friendly dog named Gwaneum (named after the Bodhisattva of Compassion).
Temple LayoutFrom the temple parking lot, you’ll make your way up a set of uneven stairs to the right of the nuns’ dorms. You’ll need to pass to the right of the unpainted Yosachae to gain entry to the main temple courtyard at Deungunsa Temple.
As you enter the main temple courtyard at Deungunsa Temple, you’ll notice a long administrative office to your right. Straight ahead of you is the large Geukrakbo-jeon Hall. The exterior walls are adorned with various Buddhist related motif murals including a mural of the Bodhidharma and an image of Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion) looking into a pond at a reflection of herself. Stepping inside the Geukrakbo-jeon Hall, you’ll find a large, solitary image of Amita-bul (The Buddha of the Western Paradise) on the main altar. The main altar image of Amita-bul is surrounded by a fiery mandorla. To the left of the main altar is a mural dedicated to Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife), as well as a well-populated mural dedicated to Amita-bul. To the right of the main altar, on the other hand, is a thousand-armed image dedicated to Gwanseeum-bosal. You’ll also find a Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural) to the right of the main altar, as well.
To the right of the Geukrakbo-jeon Hall, and up a set of stairs, is the Samseong-gak Hall. Interestingly, and if you look close enough, you’ll find a Korean folk art Smoking Tiger mural. Both the Chilseong (Seven Stars) and Dokseong (Lonely Saint) mural housed inside the Samseong-gak Hall are beautiful, but it’s the Bodhisattva-like pose of Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) that will draw most of your attention. Also, and if you look up at the beams of the shaman shrine hall, you’ll find two intricate dragon murals adorning their surfaces.
The final structure to be enjoyed at Deungunsa Temple, and probably the real reason you’ve made your way to the temple, is the seven-story wood pagoda up the hillside to the southwest of the main hall. If you’re lucky, the pagoda will be open. I was fortunate enough to have the head nun open up the wood pagoda to me so that I could explore. While the pagoda is still unpainted and absent its traditional dancheong colours, its design is simply stunning. While newer, it commands a stunning view of the north and the city of Yanggu off in the distance. You should be able to get some amazing pictures from the narrow heights of the seventh floor of both nature and the main temple grounds below.
How To Get ThereThe only way to get to Deungunsa Temple is by taxi from the Yanggu Intercity Bus Terminal. The taxi ride will take 7 minutes over 3.5 km, and it’ll cost you 6,000 won (one way).
Overall Rating: 7/10The obvious main highlight is the unpainted seven-story wood pagoda at Deungunsa Temple. Both inside and out, it’s stunning. And the views that it commands are just as spectacular. In addition to the wood pagoda, you can also enjoy the artwork around the Samseong-gak Hall, especially the Smoking Tiger mural and the Bodhisattva-like rendering of Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit). While Deungunsa Temple is newer in age, it definitely makes up for its lack of a long history both with its architectural and artistic features.
The Geukrakbo-jeon Hall. The unpainted nuns’ dorms. The front facade to the Geukrakbo-jeon Hall. One of the Bodhidharma murals that adorns the exterior wall of the Geukrakbo-jeon Hall. As well as this reflective mural dedicated to Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion). Inside the Geukrakbo-jeon Hall. The stunning multi-armed mural dedicated to Gwanseeum-bosal. The Samseong-gak Hall at Deungunsa Temple. And the Smoking Tiger mural that adorns one of its exterior walls. The Bodhisattva-like image dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) inside the Samseong-gak Hall. One of the decorative dragon murals that adorns an interior beam inside the Samseong-gak Hall. Gwaneum, the temple dog, behind the Geukrakbo-jeon Hall. The amazing seven-story wood pagoda at Deungunsa Temple. And a different angle. The view to the northwest from the seventh story of the wood pagoda. And the view to the north towards Yanggu. —Dale's Korean Temple Adventures YouTube

Korean pet names – Cute ways to call your furry friends
