*Real* Survival Korean: Among Us

So lately I’ve been really into the game Among Us (아몽 어스) through playing with the Korean Student Association (KSA), and this week I finally decided to start playing the game in Korean servers with a Korean chat and all-Korean settings. Ngl, it hasn’t been easy, but it’s also one of the most rewarding things i’ve done in Korean. In the game, people are literally murdering each other, so it’s very much a matter of survival Korean. I can’t use English as a fallback, need to understand Korean to know my tasks and what’s going on in the chat, and need to be able to defend myself and make a case. The first time I played is when I realized that I didn’t actually know colors all that well, especially ones like “cyan” and “lime.” I also realized there was a lot of gaming lingo that I really had no experience with. So, here I’ll just go through some of the essential words/phrases that I’ve picked up. Hopefully it’s a helpful summary; for a more complete resource, check out this sub-Reddit and this Google Doc.

**Also, I was really surprised that in gaming, people tended to use 반말; very few  요s to be found…I think it’s because informal language is literally shorter, so it saves time in speed-dependent environments like gaming. Took a while for me to get used to though; I felt so rude!
