Express in Korean 🇰🇷

Tips to Remember:
• Break the word into two parts: “나타” sounds like “nate” (imagine someone named Nate), and “내다” means “to put out” or “to produce.” Think of Nate “producing” his ideas.
• Visualize expressing your emotions outward—your inner self coming “out” (내다) to be seen (나타).
