Seoul Suitcase: As much as A Rat’s Tail- Korean Slang 쥐꼬리만큼 한국 비속어
I really love this book and found it interesting, funny and at times of reading, giggling at what I read. If you have not read this before, I advise you to get your hands on one and read it for yourself. No doubt you will enjoy this book as much as I did. And also, you could impress your Korean friends by using these phrases. Ditch your textbooks for a few minutes and pick up these phrases, I say.
