What’s a Hanbok? Korea’s Most Colorful Word to Wear
When you learn Korean, you don’t just learn words—you learn culture, too. And one of the most beautiful words you can wear is hanbok (한복), Korea’s traditional clothing.
A Word Full of History and Style
Hanbok is colorful, flowing, and full of meaning. People wear it during important holidays like Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) or Seollal (Lunar New Year). The word itself combines “han” (Korean) and “bok” (clothing).
Kids’ hanboks are often extra bright—with pinks, blues, greens, and golds that sparkle. Boys and girls both wear hanboks, and they look like royalty in them!
Creative Activities to Try
Design Your Own Hanbok
Provide kids with coloring sheets or paper dolls and let them design hanboks in wild colors and patterns.
Korean Holiday Dress-Up
Have a pretend celebration day where kids wear paper hanboks and learn simple Korean greetings.
In Dinolingo’s Korean course, cultural elements like the hanbok come alive through videos, songs, and vocabulary games. Kids ages 2–14 get to see, hear, and learn Korean the way it’s used in real life—including holiday words, clothes, and customs.
Whether on iOS, Android, or the web, Dinolingo gives kids the chance to experience language with culture all in one place.
