Learning Korean - 비정상회담 - Korean TV Show

I had a great Korean class last night...   We decided to have a free talking lesson before starting the next chapter of the Essential Korean for Business use (Oh I started making a Memrise for this book - Any one else use it? - more on that later)

We talked about  비정상회담 - This is a Korean talk show and features some foreigners who are are pretty awesome at speaking korean - If you don't know about this show you can check it out on youTube here 비정상회담

The name of this show is quite interesting

정상회담 means Summit  and the shows set looks like an international summit and the "Foreigner" guests are all from different countries; Turkey, UK, USA, Australia, Africa - these guys have reached a celebrity status in Korea... because of their language ability.

The title of the show is a play on words adding 비  to the front, this is not a real word, but it makes the title mean "Normal persons summit' or 'abnormal summit'

- This show is actually a lot of fun.  See the video at the bottom of this post!!!

We talked about the show, TV shows and movies...
