Nice post! One little thing, I think here "대조선국 has a rough history being destroyed more than once," you meant 경복궁?
Korean Culture
Lesson Eight: Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁)
Tumblr media
masterlist
previous lesson
여러분 안녕하세요! Today we are going to be talking about the popular tourist attraction gyeongbokgung or 경복궁.
시작합시다!
Tumblr media
A Brief History
경복궁 was the main royal palace during the Joseon Dynasty or 대조선국 (1392-1897). The Palace was built in 1395 and housed the Kings and royals of 조선.
대조선국 has a rough history being destroyed more than once. It was severely burned in 1553 and completely destroyed during the Japanese invasions of 1592-1598. It was left in ruins for three centuries. But after a lot of being demolished and being restored during various Korean conflicts in history, 경복궁 now stands in the 종로구 district of 서울.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tourist Attractions
Today, 경복궁 is open to the public as a historical tourist attraction along with the National Folk Museum of Korea, the National Palace Museum of Korea, and Palais De Seoul which all sit on the grounds of 경복궁.
National Folk Museum of Korea:
The national folk museum of Korea is a museum that uses replicas of historical objects and architecture to let people see what the traditional life of the Korean people was like.
Tumblr media
National Palace Museum of Korea:
The National Palace Museum is a museum located inside 경복궁. The museum houses over 40,000 artifacts and treasures from 대조선국 and the Korean Empire. It has everything from records, architecture, clothing, and paintings.
Tumblr media
Palais De Seoul:
Palais De Seoul is an art gallery also located in 경복궁. The gallery is dedicated to the arts and culture and which houses three exhibition halls, an art shop, and a rooftop garden. The gallery exhibits things like paintings, photos, videos, body paintings, glass installations, and more.

Expressing location in Korean
I am never fully satisfied with a textbook, but I've gotta give it to 'Elementary Korean' textbook, it' really got some gems in it.
I was just flipping through it, and I remembered when I was first starting learning Korean one of the most confusing lessons in 'Korean Made Easy' was location expressions.
책상 위에 - my way of thinking was: well if there's a particle, and all other words marked with particles can change positions within a sentences, so should this one. Can 위에 책상 be correct?
I figured the answer on my own later, but it took a while of listening Koreans speak to see it never occurred in this order.
⬇⬇⬇
On the other hand 'Elementary Korean' says right away that order is important, and even gives an example why:
방 옆에 = next to the room
옆 방에 = in the next room
⬆⬆⬆
I just thouht I would throw it out there for all beginner learners of Korean who are struggling like I did.
Oh, and if you want to find out more about this textbook you can read my Tuttle Elementary Korean review.
