The second expression we’ll be learning today is “달고나커피인데 달콤해서 맛있어요(It’s a Dalgona coffee, and it’s delicious because it’s sweet.)”

In Korean language, “달다 (= sweet),” “맵다 (= spicy),” “짜다 (= salty),” “시다 (= sour)” are four adjectives are most frequently used expressions to describe flavors.

Now, let’s practice the dialogue together introducing the new food and describing its flavor. Take a look at the description, and let’s practice the dialogue.
