EP29. Mountain After Mountain (산 넘어 산)

from Korean to Stay Connected · host Lumibo

I’d love to hear from you.In this episode, I talk about the Korean expression “산 넘어 산” —  which means mountain after mountain.It’s a phrase we use when one challenge ends, only to find another waiting ahead.Lately, this expression has stayed with me.I thought once I got over this one hill, things would finally become easier. That maybe a flat, peaceful path would follow.But instead, another mountain appeared.There were moments when I felt tired, and moments when I lost my motivation.But along the way, there were also small, quiet things — a clear stream, a gentle breeze, warm sunlight.And somehow, those moments gave me the strength to keep walking.So these days, I’ve been thinking:Maybe life isn’t about reaching the end of the mountains, but about walking through them.Not just the destination, but the people we meet, the strength we build, and the small warmth we feel along the way.It’s April now in Korea — the beginning of spring.Today, I changed my wardrobe. I put away my heavy winter clothes and filled my closet with lighter, brighter spring pieces.And somehow, my heart felt a little lighter too.What does the beginning of April feel like for you?If you feel like you’re going through “mountain after mountain,”there is someone here feeling the same way.Let’s keep going, slowly, together.🎧 Take this episode gently. Even this path is already part of your life.Teacher Profile: https://www.italki.com/ko/teacher/7545999?lv=1
