이번 에피소드에서는 한국의 나이 계산법에 대해 이야기해요. 새해만 되면 한 살 더 먹던 연 나이에서 생일 기준으로 나이를 계산하는 만 나이로 바뀐 이야기를 나눠요. 빠른년생이라는 재미있는 개념과, 열두 띠를 통해 나이를 추측하는 한국식 대화법도 소개할게요.

In this episode, we chat about Korea’s age system—how everyone used to turn a year older on January 1st (연 나이) and how it’s changed to the international method (만 나이). We’ll also dive into the fun concept of 빠른년생 (early-born students) and how Koreans use the 12 zodiac animals (열두 띠) to guess someone’s age.
