When I was studying English in Australia, I was very intrigued by the cultural habit of engaging in small talk with strangers. To me, this was something both foreign and welcoming. Back then, I wasn\u2019t shy about making mistakes in speaking English, but the practice of making small talk itself was something which pushed me out of my comfort zone. I also found out that carrying on small talk was not as easy as it looked. In my very first months, I probably ended up saying yes or no answers or guessing thousands of thoughts in my head about what the speaker just asked me without saying a word. Through repetitive practices with my patient friend, who is a mother of a child now, I finally got used to freely having small chats with strangers within 6 months.<\/p>\n

One day, I was waiting for a bus to go back home from school. An older lady sat next to me on a bench at the bus stop. I was mentally preparing myself to make small talk with her. She started talking about the weather and the weather was one of those easy topics I thought I had already mastered. As I expected, I was able to converse with her without any big trouble. By the time when I thought I was being proud of myself, she mentioned a mysterious word and left. Her bus came before mine.<\/p>\n

The one word I missed out of the whole conversation put me in an endless guessing game on my way back home. As soon as I got home, I grabbed a dictionary. I looked for every single word which sounded something like the word I missed. The word I didn\u2019t understand was \u201csweltering\u201d. I had never heard of the word before.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s review some expressions to describe the weather in Korean, so you don\u2019t miss any words in conversations with Koreans even after you thought you had already mastered the weather terms. Let\u2019s look at expressions to describe summer weather first.<\/p>\n
