- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ต.ค. 2016
- Karl, or in his Korean name, 권민규, started learning Korean with Talk To Me In Korean back in 2014. After about 2 years of self-studying and 9 months of studying abroad in Seoul, he is very fluent in Korean now. So we sat down with him to ask him some questions about how he studied.

I've only been studying a year, but this is a reminder I need to go way harder.
I've been studying studying Korean and discovered a great website at Napars Language Learn (google it if you're interested)
Two years later how you doin? Im hitting my one year mark this month and feel the same way
Hehe, keep it up Atlas! 😁
David Linch have u learned??? Im very interested!! :))

pronounciation is so difficult for me TT
진짜 발음 좋아요.

Hobi's sunshine child Lol you definitely used google translate
it took 6 years to become as this good in english, and i still can't say the i mastered english! and he took 3 years and he's fluent in korean!!! that's goals
Faisal Mutairi keep learning english! it is really useful
What is your first language?
I have 1 year trying learn English
@@Imkaren0_0 Say
"I have been learning English for one year."
^^that should help
Can you tell me how long does it take to learn Korean language plz tell
Wow, I'm really impressed with all the hardwork that Karl (Min Gyu) did. Glad it paid off, he's so good now. And thank you for sharing your experience and tips!
I am studying, but I have a hard time making sentences and get anxiety talking to people. I will conquer this! Gah!
His Korean is so good! I hope to get as good as he is one day. :)
SakuyaLuigi 요즘 어떻게 했어?
TheDandi I'm proud of myself I understood that lol
나도요 ㅠ.ㅠ
Try to talk with s’one y’re comfortable with . It worked like wonder
how good is your korean now
He speaks Korean so well OMG 😭❤️
This is very inspiring. I need to put in more efforts in my studies!! let's work harder ^^
He went trough 6 levels in about 4 months.
That is some amazing diligence and passion.
I did it a lot slower
(10 months) but did not only limit myself to TTMIK (even at the start).
Really interesting video and nice to see someone studied in a pretty similar fashion and got basically the same results as me.
Great inspiration for everyone trying to learn Korean.
I study Korean since 2003 and I'm still lower intermediate
kamiel verwer Did you never stay in Korea?
Increasing vocabulary isn't as obvious as it seems.
I am married to a Korean since 5 years, lived in Korea a few years but I have a learning disability :)
2-3 months. He started in july and by september ( 2 months ) or october ( 3 months ) he was at level 6
How did learning with TTMIK (and other resources, as you said) work for you? Like, what level were you at by the time you got to level 6?
after a couple of years, wait for me ttmik team! I know, I believe my turn will come! You guys will interview me just like Karl. Count on me!! Hwaiting!!
Update: Apologies! I am taking up International Studies and the language that we need to study is French. Law and research papers are caving in on top of me! But my love for Korean culture will never change! Kudos to people who have been learning and doing their very best to know more about Korea! *Applauded*
Yes, ill be waiting for you to. You can do it if you never give up
I was thinking the same thing. I hope it’s going well for you
Pia Wang updates?
hows it going now
hows it going?
I'm so proud of him. Very motivational. Thanks!
I agree on his methodes but also I think he got a lot better because of the language school! my friends who go there learn Korean really fast! I recommend trying a language school with a uni (어학당) .
I am so lazy with my language learning, I'm taking it so slowly especially in comparison to Karl lol. But seriously, well done man! The hard work has sure paid off and you sound really natural in Korean. Thanks for sharing your story and for the added inspiration to keep going with learning more! :)
Are you still learning korean? Are you fluent?
What a champ! This is my second year learning Korean - hopefully if I stay commited I will become as good as Mingyu.
Lmao
How’s year 3 going?
Well, did you achieve your goal? It’s been a year since the comment! :)
☆Kaishiteru☆ oops, forgot to tag you
hows it goin?
Dude I could understand a good bit of this conversation. I had to stop and read the korean subtitles sometimes because of the talking being a bit too fast, but I just surprised myself so much!
I think the biggest problem with non-native English speakers who are learning Korean is that most apps or books etc. are all in English which makes it hard to then translate it to your own language. especially grammatical English words. Most of the time I have to look those up which can be frustrating and times and makes learning go way slower..
jaehyun's yakisoba prince me too it can be frustrating sometimes , but it improves my english in the way of learning korean so it's all good lmao
@@cyellene agree
true omg
I would suggest sticking to only translating it to English rather than ur native language lol
Can you tell me how long does it take to learn Korean language plz tell
I made a really great friend thanks to Hello Talk, she messaged me as soon as she moved here from Korea a few months ago and now we meet at least once of week to hang out and have coffee :)
Dreena Marie :') awww
Wow, he's a really fast learner! I've studied since September this year and I think I repeated Level 1 for the last few months over and over again, three times I think. Even though English is not my native language I think TTMIK is a very nice and enjoyable way to learn Korean!
wOW...He did the exact same as me. First self study then go to a university. I recommend going to Sogang university in Seoul. I did 6 months there and that is when you really improve. No english for 6 months. Even the teachers didn't speak any english to us, we just quickly understood. Well done this guy! 대박!
What does it cost?
Planning to do the same...
How much dude?
I have a question. It has only been two months since I have started learning Korean and I was wondering what resources you would suggest. The only resources that I have found/use are TTMIK and Integrated Korean. Yes, I'm still a beginner.
@@kendall5748 "Korean Grammar in Use" is reallllly well organized.
what i love about variety shows is that they like to add captions on the screen, so i can learn a lot of expressions from that as well. Sometimes they're obvious like 숭공 (success) and 박수 (clap), and other times I'd look them up.
This was great; I enjoy hearing how people learn languages :)
gMyzo It's 성공, not 숭공, FYI. Great! Keep it up😄
I've been using talk to me in Korean and using hellotalk just like him lol
But man his Korean is so impressive !! I hope I can be as good as him one day !
Karin Otsuka I have HelloTalk. Wanna chat there together?
4 years later. I hope you can talk as well as he does now!
How is it now?
i always come back to this video for encouragement.
Truly inspiring!!! I have to study harder^^ Thank you 민규
who else just saw Mingyu thinking bout seventeen's Mingyu?
Sweet Lova Gal omg... I'm searching for a comment like this for so long! Hoshi's surname(Kwon) plus Mingyu 😂
OMG ME
I was because he is favorite member of seventeen
*Karl
I know this video is old, but it popped up in my recommended. I was so surprised because I met Karl when he came to Korea for language school and I was amazed at what he knew. Made me want to do harder. Now I am finally doing the work to do so. So cool!
Today, I hit the ten month mark of me learning Korean. I can read it pretty fast now and understand a bit. I understood about ten percent of what they said. 화이팅!
Inspiring and motivating.
정말 감사합니다 :)
This was very inspiring. Thank you for sharing this, TTMIK (and Karl).
wow he speaks so natural this is inspiring!!
Impressive. Totally motivated
Great job, Karl! You're empowering all Korean learners with your example.
So encouraging!!
I am grateful with all the ttmk team thank you so so much for all your work! hi from Guatemala♥
This is so inspiring! He's so good!
우와 진짜 신기해요! 다른 사람들의 한국어 배우는 방법을 알아보는게 도움이 될 것 같아요.
또 이런 영상 만들어주시면 좋겠어요 ^-^ 언제나 저도 이렇게 권민규 씨처럼 TTMIK 영상에서 나오면 좋겠어용!!
Thank you TTMIK for conducting this interview of 민규! It is very inspiring. I have been learning Korean for two years now and have made very little progress because I am also working on getting 2 bachelor degrees and working. Now that my university career is winding down and I will be graduating soon I will have more time to dedicate to learning Korean before I move to Korea in August to teach English. I discovered your books and lessons only a month ago and have learned so much more through the first few lessons of level one than any other resources I have tried. 민규 has inspired me to try harder to make time for language learning! I also watch 런닝맨 to listen to how words are naturally pronounced! Thank you guys for offering easy to understand, and quite affordable, books and workbooks to those of us studying on my own. I have recommended your lessons to a friend who just started learning Korean and she loves them!
Wow he's amazing he is goals I agree with everything he says
Can't wait to get my talk to me in Korean books :)
this is really inspiring thank you :)
Omg he speaks so well!
Giving me motivation!
i’m starting to teach myself korean and this just showed me how hard i have to work if i want to reach his level. i’m determined to do well at it
These interview(s) helped me with my motivation! Thanks TTMIK. Every korean learner, 화이팅 !
This is incredible. What a great motivation to keep learning!
This is so motivating, & those are really useful tips. 너무 감사합니다 민규씨. ^^
I really admire him, this is so cool! I will definitely use this!
Wow!!! I am just starting Level 2, and I feel very confident. Thanks for this video. It reinforces my belief that I can learn Korean! 정말 감사합니다 !
This is so amazing. His pronunciation is so good. I'm even more determined now to learn
Whenever I lose motivation, I will look at this video. Thank you very much for making it. 감사합니다!
He is amazing. His speaking skills and so on, just great.
This really motivated me. Thanks for this interview and the tips on how to learn Korean effectively.
I agree with him, i learning english and korean with dramas and specialy with running man i loved, but its more fun when you learn by yourself
So inspirational. Karl is goals!
This video really made me get up of my bed this morning in a good mood!
LOVED IT!!
Amazing to see what dedicatuon can do to you in just 3 years!
I will put more effort in my studies!
This is really inspiring and motivating.
감사합니다
Thank you TTMIK , this video really giving me HOPE !
This is so mind-blowingly inspiring!
This helped so much. Inspires me to keep studying :)
인터뷰 너무 깔끔해서 보기 좋았어요!
댓글들은 보통 한국어 배우시는 분들 같은데 한국인이 보기에도 흥미로운 동영상이었어요! 감사합니다 :)
Karl is an inspiration, congratz to the nice development! It would've been fun to know how many years it took before he decided to learn the language, from the point he got interested in Korea that is. I've made half hearted (I guess) attempts before, but the years being interested is really no joke anymore when passing 10 years :)
It was so inspirable and motivated me to keep studying. 감사합니다💜💛
저도 TTMIK으로 한국어를 배웠는데요! TTMIK 선생님들 감사합니다~
This really motivated you as the learner to learn Korean and not give up!
He speaks so well!
he is really good in pronunciation!
I'm totally impressed and motivated
I wish I knew his Topic level
this was really motivating. Great interview. I am starting to study korean again from the beginning. I must do it to speak with my mother in law .. and soemtimes I get so stressed I forget things in Korean that I do know. I am going to start again from scratch and work hard to improve. This video got me excited about trying this again!
We're all impressed, but more importantly, I'm much more motivated to keep on studying and practicing with my TTMIK books! Very inspirational interview.
Wow!! I envy this guy, he pronunciation is so accurate!! I hope I speak korean like him one day, fighting ✊🏼😊
Wow he's great! Really makes me feel like it's possible to learn 🙂
Thanks for this video! I've been learning since June or July of this year (2016), and I just started level 2 TTMIK lessons, so I'm amazed he worked so fast! Nice work! I will keep studying so one day I can write these comments in Korean. :)
Any updates? ㅠ ㅠ
Any updates
?
Wow such a nice video, and very inspiring :)
Owsome! thank you so much for all the lessons, I think I´ve been improving bit by bit just by hearing you guys! Coming soon to Korea, would love to meet you guys. From Queretaro Mexico. Saludos a todos y un abrazo.
I just started using the ttmik lesson books and workbooks. I think they're great and so far Korean has been a lot easier than Spanish (which I took for about 5 years in school but didn't really retain much). But it seems Korean vocab and grammar just stick in my mind without much effort so I'm liking it lol
Thanks for the advice bro 😊
Superb, both of you, teacher and student. Wonderful.
I love her voice so much, I always used to listen her😊😊😊😊
This is so motivating 💪
So inspiring!
I’m going to take a korean class in college but ima use this website to improve even more
Min-gyu....you are my new motivation! In 3 years I will reach your level!
Wow, In three years time.. Amazing, great motivational video!
The interviewer gives such good questions!!
Thank you really inspiring 😊
This guy gives me the motivation
I've been studying with the lessons too but i noticed a HUGE speed of improvement when i started talking with native speakers!
This is great. Just a reminder that we all learn in different ways and absorb information differently...some might be quicker,some others slow..as we say in the UK slowly but surely the goal comes nearer. Thank you
She is so cute. And his Korean is extremely impressive and inspirational!
Really appreciate this video. I've been studying off and on for at least 2 years and I have yet to even build a complete paragraph. I just started TTMIK a few months ago and I'm loving the books. And I listen to the lessons on sound cloud every morning on the way to work.
How about now?
Late to the party here but my name is also Karl, and I started studying Korean with TTMIK two weeks ago today, which is September 23, 2020. 9/9/2020 would be my start date and my 한글 master book (along with the 500 Korean verbs book) arrived just today. Looking forward to really digging in to learning Korean!!
I use Hello Talk too hm I think sice 2 months and this App is really good :)
대박, amazing!
우와. 정말 잘하시네요 ! 저도 아마 2013년 부터 TTMIK으로 한국어 공부 시작 했는데 아직도 조금 밖에 못해요 ㅠ 2일 전에 Hellotalk 처음 해봤어요. ㅎ 민규씨처럼 한국어를 잘하기 위해 더 열심히 해야돼겠어요. 모두 TTMIK으로 공부 하는 사람들 파이팅!
mstdfntlyincrdbl 진짜 잘한다...
It’s been about a year for me, I started TTMIK maybe half a year ago and I’m at level 8 now! It’s so easy to listen to while I’m walking or doing chores or traveling. I’m doing a lot of the same things as Karl (kpop, dramas, variety shows, HelloTalk, trying to find exchange friends, etc - also I like listening to Korean radio shows on the TuneIn app). But smoothly thinking on the spot while talking is still very hard, 여러분 화이팅! Good job 민규씨, an inspiration for all!
동영상 잘 봤습니다. 정말 재밌었어요. ^^
belajar kat korea ke bro?
I started just a few months ago and it's pretty hard because I already have 2 languages on me.
But I love Korean and need to keep improving. I'll download this apps.
Thanks for this video!
Wow.... I really impressed..👍👍👍
My dream, My goal, and my inspiration! !!!! FIGHTING! !!
thank you so much
I hope one day I can speak Korean fluently like you, Karl. I'm just a beginner now :))
Nuttakarn Singtongla How’s your Korean now, 2 years later?
OMG he speaks so good Korean. I wish I could be like him! I am working hard between my classes!
I am korean and your korean is pretty good!! accent is good and pronunciation is good!
I love the video like that
