    We don't really have a term for people who have lived abroad and have returned. However, we do have a word for Koreans living abroad, 교포 kyopo. Kyopo is a pretty broad term that ranges from Koreans who have immigrated to different places and have settled down to descendents of Korean immigrants as well. It basically means Korean diaspora. I guess not many of them have returned enough for us to have a word for that group of people, unless, as pointed out above, they are students. When 교포 Kyopos return to Korea (for visits), we just still refer to them as 교포, or if they settle back down in Korea, I guess we don't really call them kyopo anymore since they are living in Korea, but more say that they were kyopo, or would just say that they used to live somewhere else.

    Since "can't wait to" is a common English phrase for "really want to", it would be better (and sound less awkward) to translate "really want to". really: 정말 or you can also use 너무 want to: 싶어요. go back: 돌아가다 means more of turning around from where you are and going back. What you mean (I'm assuming) is to go back and visit again, in which 다시 (again) 가보다 would sound better. when you add 보다 to a verb stem, it means to try that verb, so 가보다 is like try going, or visiting. Also, in Korean subjects are often omitted (unless you are introducing a new subject) Putting all of this together, it would be 정말 다시 가보고 싶어요. If you want to kind of emphasize that you want to go back, you can add 한번 (once) and say 정말 다시 한번 가보고 싶어요. Hope this helps!

    "It is still winter up here" will be a complete sentence, where as "still winter up here" isn't a complete sentence. However, considering you are writing this on your insta page (for personal things I'm assuming), there should be no problem. It's only a matter of how formal you want to sound. "It is still winter up here", because it is a complete sentence, sounds more formal than "still winter up here". If you want to make it informal, then "still winter up here" would be better.

    I'm going to assume you read this somewhere on the internet or during a chat. 담에 is what people use that is short for 다음에 in chat or online language. 다음 means next and 에 is time/location particle.얘 which is more colloquially short for 이 애, which is short for 이 아이. 이 is like a prefix (prefix probably isn't the correct term) for this like 이것 means "this thing". 아이 means child, but is also colloquially used as person when referring to someone in similar hierarchy like friend. 같이 means together. 안 when attached in front of verbs mean not or don't. For 갈 거임, this 임 is like a speech ending, also more commonly used in chatting. 갈 거 is short for 갈거예요 or 갈것이다 which are future tense for 가다 go. To put all of this together, it means, "Next time, I'm not going with this person" Hope this helps!

    크러쉬 (crush) is a Korean singer, 우아해 is a name of one of crush's songs. 도 is a particle that is used for also or as well. 들으셨나 is basically 듣다 (to listen) changed because its honorific (들으시다) and past tense (들으셨다) and like question for 나 (? not too sure how to explain this). 모르겠네 (the ㅇ at the end is basically added usually in chats kind of to sound cute) is different form of 모르다 which means I don't know. However, in this context, it would be more like I'm not sure.

    Putting all of this together, it means "I'm not sure whether you have heard of 우아해 by crush?"

    Hope this helps!
