  • Reddit Wine Down 🍷: Teaching in Korea - The Air-Con Wars
    Nov 22 2025

    Welcome back to our Reddit Wine Down series on Teaching in Korea! 🍷


    This week, we dive into one of the biggest battles every foreign teacher eventually faces:
    THE TEMPERATURE WAR.

    From "legally mandated" 26°C classroom rules (🤨) to humid Korean summers, mold problems, and why students complaining gets results faster than admin ever will, we break down the realities of staying cool in a classroom that definitely wasn't built for hot weather.

    If you've ever taught abroad, dealt with unreasonable workplace rules, or survived a summer in Korea's wet heat… YOU will feel this episode.

    🔸 Topics we cover:

    • Are hagwons really required to keep classrooms at 26°C?

    • Why AC "makes you sick" is a common belief

    • The mold struggle (and how we survived it)

    • Classroom design that traps heat

    • Why kids are your best advocates

    • Our own wild teaching-in-Korea temperature stories

    Grab a drink and wine down with us! 🍷

  • LLP: Tea Time 🍵- Mormon Wives Say WHAT?!
    Jun 7 2025

    🎥 Tea Time is BACK and we're diving headfirst into the world of Mormon TikTok, soft-swinging vocab (yep, that's a thing), and the wild ride that is reality TV English! 🍵✨

    In this episode, we're talking about the reality show "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives"—the drama, the culture, and most importantly…the words! As English teachers, we couldn't help but notice how much vocab you'd never learn in class, so we had to break it down.

    We also kick off our brand new Guess That Word segment, where Arnell has to figure out if the slang Ro throws at her is real or fake. 👀 Think you can do better? Play along and test your English with us!

    Expect:
    💬 Real convo
    📺 Reality show tea
    🧠 New English slang
    🫣 A little culture shock
    📚 And laughs. Always laughs.
