Korean words our son uses even when he speaks English

Yul’s English has been exploding lately. He is quite confident in both English and Korean. People often ask if he favours one over the other but he doesn’t really. He just chooses what is appropriate for the situation. When playing games by himself he just decides whether it’s an English game or a Korean game and will talk to himself in that language.

However, because we live in Korea and he has a lot of exposure to other kids speaking Korean, there are some words he prefers to say in Korean, even when it’s in an English sentence. He knows the word in English too, and he knows I know what it means, so he will decide to use the Korean word instead of the English word. In this video we talk about which words they are!
