Question

Will listening to Korean music help improve my Korean vocabulary?

Community Answer

It may help your pronunciation, but to improve your vocabulary, you need to know what the words that are being said mean. Watching Korean TV with English subtitles may be more helpful.

It depends on the context, the speaker's gender, etc. If you're a girl talking to a big sister, you would use "언니" (eonni). If you're a girl or boy talking to a younger sister, you would use "여동생" (yeo dong saeng). If you're a boy talking to a big sister, you would use "누나" (nu na).
