ability to survive even insect attacks, makes it
an appropriate symbol for country that has
fought throughout history for it’s very
existence.

Asia, constituting the southern part
of the Korean Peninsula and sharing
a land border with North Korea.

Hangul
Nonverbal communication is important in
the traditional Korean culture:
• Eye contact between people of
different gender, age, and social
status are lack in Korean
• Koreans also bow to show
respect.
It is the official writing system of
Korea, both South Korea and North
Korea.
• Koreans always pass or receive
documents with their right hand
or both hands. The right hand has
to be supported by the left.

Honorific Titles
• Shi (씨) can be translated as Mr./Miss/Mrs.
Shi (씨) is attached at the end of the name.
• Nim (님) is also a title of respect. Nim (님) is usually
attached to professions.
Do you think all Korean start using Banmal (informal,
intimate speech style) right away to someone younger
than them? This is not case at all! When grown-ups
meet for the first time, it is a common etiquette to use
a formal speech.
