Hey guys! I'm realizing that I meant to add "and use this opportunity to either ask the native speaker what a more natural word/phrasing would be or make a mental note to go back and review how to use certain words/grammar structures" to tip number 2!! 🤡🤡
Will the 97 price still be available on July 1st? I don’t have money until them I want to get story learning
I will ask and let you know!
I spoke with StoryLearning and the discount will still be good!! ^^
I can't wait to get to that advanced/fluent level 🥲 I have been studying in context and even in Korean sometimes to help me get there. But I will also incorporate the other two tips more! I have been at the place where I am watching something above my level and with the Korean CC I understand whats going on way more than off so that last tip will definitely take me further in my learning ✨Love this
Why is it always the black girlls trying to learn Korean..smh u knkw koreans dont like black people right?😂😂
The tip about to watch idol's live really help. I watch the Bang Chan's lives (Chan's room) and for me it's better 'cause I'm brazilian and I can learn korean and English. Bang Chan (Stray Kids) is korean but he lived in Australia then he speaks in both languages during lives.
Forreal~ You can get a good mix of formal and everyday Korean~
Ohh i wish chans room to be back
I miss that
@@guk.aestheticsame😢
@guk.aesthetic dumb jay why pee 😔
I miss channie's room 🥺🥺🥺
I've been studying Korean for about 3 years now and I can definitely say my listening is the hardest part of learning for me. I speak a lot with native speakers (and text haha) and I practice my reading and writing a lot. However, even as an english speaker I struggle to understand audios because I am a very visual learner. However, listening in real life doesn't always allow me to have a visual (someone's facial expressions, a picture, etc) so I've learned that reading transcripts along with listening helps me soo much. Honestly, I feel like a lot of language learners or teachers shade on transcripts but if you're someone like me who struggles with processing audio even in their native language, transcripts are a life saver. I'm so happy you talked about this in your videos because it's truly so important and not enough people emphasize how helpful this can be for people, especially those who are not auditory learners by nature. (Love the bts references too because SAME)
For every 10 times you read a passage, write a paragraph or study a book, you must play the audio 100xs and revisit it after 3 months every 3 months.
No matter how advanced you get, revisit every piece of learning material you have.
Totally agree with all three, especially using transcripts to take your Korean (or whatever language) to the next level. Do you need to understand every single word to understand content? No, but when you deep dive into content like that and really dig into understanding each word and each sentence structure, especially when you listen to it or read through it several times, it's SO great for reinforcing your learning of both vocab and grammar.
I used to go through TTMIK's Iyagi series by breaking down the transcripts of their conversations and listening several times, and to this day, just like your experience with BTS livestreams, I can still remember where I learned different vocab related to different topics, and even certain phrases or sentences people said about certain topics. The focus on understanding each word + repetition just makes it all stick better in the brain!
Could I ask what a transcript is?
@@lanihoangg A transcript is basically the written version of what people are saying in spoken form. Many podcasts or videos designed for language learners will include transcripts, which have all the spoken language used in the video written down in one place, which makes studying much easier.
Hi =) I'm feeling a bit stuck right now because I don't know what structured approach to take - I know that I am someone who needs that structure and as an adult learner especially, I like to understand the grammar for my personal confidence. Do you recommend TTMIK? Could that be a good way to really make progress?
I'm intermediate and I forgot a lot during a few months of not studying, but I realised that when I see certain words/grammar structures I *know* them and I remember them - I got a bit lazy with my efforts.
Being an introvert doesn't help with the speaking, but a big trap of language learning is when you know enough to go through your daily life so you don't have to really focus because you have a general understanding and can express yourself in a basic way and that's enough. Paying attention to how natives reacts and/or rephrase what you say is sooo important and helps so much!
i agree with that last part. it is 100% true you dont need to understand every word. you can maintain conversations without it. but for the sake of your listening ability, its also helpful. even if you KNOW the word cause of context, but you cant hear it... once you get to where you hear it.. its easier in the future ^^ and of course, you can mimick it better and sound more natural ~
Very true~ If you take the time to look it up, you start hearing it everywhere~
I have the total opposite case, my reading is really bad, but my listening is great, i understand more while listening than while reading.
As a local Korean, I think those are good points! Especially, learning with the context! 멋지네요~
This is why I use Korean subtitles when I watch dramas. I 100% agree with paying attention to how people react to what you say. If someone says "heh?" I always think that I didn't say it properly or loud enough. Until my iTalki tutor corrected me, I always used to say ㅎ+ㄱ, ㄱ+ㅎ, and ㄹ+려 (like 흔들리다 → 흔들려요) wrong and that's why people couldn't understand what I was saying.
May I know How do you watch kdramas with Korean subtitles?
@@miroya6418change the subtitle language in Netflix to korean
what do u mean by ㅎㄱ vs ㄱㅎ?
@@nalbinalbii888 ㄱ + ㅎ & ㅎ + ㄱ words like 시작하다 or 어떻게 have a turn into a hard ㅋ sound.
시작하다 → [시자카다] 연락하다 → [열라카다]
어떻게 → [어떠케] 넣고 → [너코]
And so on & so forth. I now know that if ㅎ is the 받침 or if it is the first letter in a sound block, the sound is always aspirated (except for ㄹ & ㅇ).
좋다 → [조타] 닫히다 → [다치다] 급행 → [그팽]
앉히다 → [안치다] 맏형 → [마텽] 굿하다 → [구타다]
읽히다 → [일키다] 넓히다 → [널피다]
@@miroya6418 I use Netflix & turn on the CC. That said, I live in Korea & am from the US. Subtitle availability is region/license based. For example, I can watch anime & Jdramas w/o the CC 90% of the time, but when I need or want Japanese CC, Korean Netflix only has Korean subtitles (which makes sense due to licensing agreements). Occasionally they have the Japanese CC. In the US, some stuff had Korean CC, some didn’t.
You inspire me so much to learn Korean! Every time I lose motivation you post, it's perfect ahaha
Ahaha You're manifesting my content I see~ 😂
actually both perspectives are correct in a way. When you "actively" learn, you should strive to understand each word, really dig into it on a deeper level, but when you are learning ''passively' it is okay to learn it in a more superficial way, just covering the tip of the iceberg, or have about 50-70 percent comprehension.
Thank you for the tips!! Something else I've been doing lately is making sure to study at least an hour everyday. I've found it's much easier to recall what I've learned this way. And you're definitely right, I tend to spend most of my time focused on reading rather than listening. I'm planning to take a listening class soon in Bangtan Academy, so I'm hoping I can get better soon. :) Hope you are doing well!!💜
Highly recommend BA to anyone serious about learning korean, I've been there for about a year now and my skills have improved so much and having a community helps me a lot!
Thank you very much Natalia ❤❤I am in the mid of the second level right now, struggling quite a lot to move forward, your video could not have dropped at a better moment 🥰
Natalia thank you so much! Your channel is one of the reasons why I never gave up on my studying.
I'm honored~ 💕 화이팅~!
Girl… your tips are gold.
I'm totally on board with all three, especially the tip about using transcripts to level up your Korean game. This video is hands down one of the best for learning Korean. Your tips are gonna be a game-changer for tons of Korean learners out there!😆
Probably the best video one learning Korean language i have seen till know amazing plz make more such content waiting for more such content..❤😊
I want to start studying Korean next month so this is beyond helpful. Thank you thank you thank you! 🙏🏽💕
EEKKK! I am excited to see your journey
watching you gives me motivation to work harder thank you so much. we love you
started watching this video and already subscribed because i feel like you’re someone living their dream and it inspires me 🎉
Thank you so much for this! I got one of those memory pop ups on FB yesterday and made me realize that I have wanted to learn Korean at some capacity for 5 years and I haven’t. I needed these tips and a reminder to study lol.
Honored to be a little reminder to start learning Korean~ 💕
Thank you for being so dedicated!! I really like your videos!! ❤ 화이팅!!
Thanks for supporting 😃
2:12 I relate to you on a spiritual level here
Congratulations! And thank you for your advices because I want to learn to read and speak in Korean.
wow thank you Natalia 💖 these are great tips!
Glad you like them! haha
Thanks for the video. You look so energetic and sincere and I love it! 😊💕
so helpful!! thank you :)
For me the last tip works the best, I always notice a big difference when I watch a content while reading transcript my listening and reading improved a lot 💪🏽
No we need a video about Korean resources with transcripts 😂
And Thank you so much for being an inspiration for all of us Natalia❤
TTMIK
@@nalbinalbii888 thanks for the recommendation.
@miroya6418 no problem!!
I just started learning Korean recently alongside Japanese. I'm really young, and I'm not even 16 yet, so this is very helpful for understanding the language better
Hi natalia!😊 You inspired me a lot, i followed all your instructions and my progress in korean is very fast!!!❤ Its only 15 days and i can write simple sentences and understand a simple conversation and can read with only some minor pauses,just i am not good at vocab through😅
Thnx a lot❤
Pls post more video or suggest which book would be the best to learn korean?????
why is this so good?! Especially the transcript part
Glad it was helpful!! 🥹🥹💕
I'm definitely checking out story learning, sounds perfect for what I need, I need things in context or I will just forget words/grammar alot of the time, flashcards do nothing for me with vocab. This plus my Itaiko lessons I feel will make a big difference for me! Ah! Thank you so much for this video!!
Have you tried it? I might as well.
Hi ! Thank you for your tips it really use I love your videos and your tips really helped me a lot and one more time thank you for your tips I love you and this video is also awesome have a good day ❤️❤️💗💓💓💕
Useful tips! Just starting out and it really can get lonely
Thanks for you tips ❤
i'm not very advanced but kor cc and transcripts are so helpful for me! i also like to turn on cc for the korean vloggers and content creators i watch :)) unfortunately the cc aren't always provided but that where transcripts and subtitles for tv shows and movies come in! my listening is very weak so i use this method a lot. it's not too new for me since i use cc for the english content (english is my native language) i consume anyway. happy to see that i'm already on the right track! i will definitely try your other two tips as they're also helpful! i need to find native speakers to talk to though heh ^^;
매력적이십니다! 앞으로도 자주 올려주세용♡
How do you speak and write?😭so jealous
your videos are so helpful!
i want to learn korean for my crush bcuz im delulu so thanks
I'm an ARMY and I know to read and write in korean but I'm learning to talk so I'm going to follow this context learning and watch BTS videos and their lives so that it will help me❤
These are such great tips, thank you! I will definitely be using the transcripts for my lessons from now on! I'm an absolute beginner, although I first started studying Korean almost 2 years ago, I have recently gotten more serious about it and I'm already improving. Anyway, thanks for being willing to share tips, I appreciate it!
I'm glad you found the information helpful!!! ❤️ Best of luck in your studies!
You showed J-hope's goodbye live. 😢 That's the EXACT reason I'm trying to learn Korean. An instant 10000+ points for you! 😂 I hope my Korean is functional enough when he's done with his military service and doing lives again. 🙏 However, I can't make out a single word he says. He speaks too fast and doesn't use the structures I'm familiar with. 😅
Thank you for the tips 🫶🏽✨
Hopefully you find them helpful!
Hopefully when I’m able to get story learning I’ll find someone I can speak the language with. I’ve been learning off and on for 6 yrs and no where near where I feel like I should be hopefully I can get to intermediate soon
You're a Hobi stan?! What are the chances that I'd stumble upon this video! I love that!
Thank you so much Natalia, love your videos, this really helped me tho! 갑사합니다
Thank you for those trips i was watching kdrama almost 4 year's i can understand Korea not well i Start learn Korean how to read last year now i can but i can't speak so this video help me lot thank you
My friends definitely cringe when I tell them how I learned a word from a specific random bts video lol but hey I’ll never forget it !
If you don't mind, can you talk a bit more about your job and your college degree? Like, how was the job interview, what they look for on a foreigner to hire them, how to apply for a korean university, these sort of things?
When I was in Japan learning Japanese I could study a word to death, I could even use it in conversation, but it wasn’t until someone else used it in conversation and I failed to understand it at least once did I add it to my vocabulary that I could hear and comprehend. It was a painfully slow process. I don’t expect Korean to be any easier.
I don't even know why I'm here as a Japanese learner but this video was fun and interesting to watch!
Am I the only person who is happy she is an army
Hi Natalia, love your videos! I'd like your advice, when trying to speak more fluently but you don't have the words or the grammar. Korean seems especially difficult because its spoken quite fast and I could be wrong on this - but IS the grammar very difficult? I had no problem with Chinese and Vietnamese because despite tones, the grammar is quite easy for sure, in comparison. I feel sad because I try and study, but I feel I get nowhere. Could I be over-complicating it?
So informative video😊😊😊
Glad you think so!
Your looking very pretty, I like this hairstyle
Thanks!! I went to the salon before the video aha
Thank you so much for making this! I also use BTS' lives and content to learn. I get so invested in the context and helps it stick, like you said!
PS I just see that you showed as an example a clip from 'A Love So Beautiful' I was SO sad to finish that series! I loved this show so much. Let's say I only have 1 hour to study, how could I make the most of that hour because there is just so much to choose from when studying and learning a new language. It can be so overwhelming >.
im binge watching ur videos
Thank you for your support haha 💕
I started learning Korean in April just before my trip to Korea in May of this year. I'm struggling😅. I speak English and Japanese and my brain 🧠 feels like it's full lool. Nothing is sticking but I'm hoping that that will change with time.🤞🏽🤞🏽 Japanese felt the same in the beginning.
What books/ course did you use to learn the language, Natalia? I ask for I am isolated. I'm a house bound disabled person. But I am fighting back because I want to follow the coastline of Korea - and I will need to be fluent due to the rural locations I want to visit. So for me to teach myself: please let me know what I need.
Hii Nat where’s a good site to find transcripts in resources?
Where do you find transcripts? I would love to try this out!!
I have tried Duolingo but got bored because I was only learning vowels and consonants and but now I’m learning more stuff and it’s fun.
I’ve also tried Busuu and it’s pretty great, other people who are fluent in the language you are learning can correct your spelling or the way you said it either typing or recording it. Busuu shows more formal ways but I feel as if it teaches things to fast where Duolingo just keeps repeating things a little bit sometimes rewording it, I feel like.
Alright, so I wanted to ask this for quite a long time, but you know in my country there's a site where you can find free online versions of the books that are used in classes and interact with them like listen to the texts while studying it in order to improve your pronunciation and such things (that's mostly for when we are studying languages that aren't our first one). Is there any type of a site that would do a thing that's pretty close to what I described, but for korean books??
What is the workbook you are using in the video?
I've been studying Korean since January. I enrolled in Korean course. Not a long time after learning hangul I started learning lyrics of Korean songs. First phrase I learned was "꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다" You know the title of the song, don't you? 😂
If she can learn English, then I can learn Korean😂
Don't do that!
Jisooooo 🌸
@@NataliaGarza 👍
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It's good tips! I see you are using a tablet and maybe some text annotation app? (for example at 1:35min) Can I ask what you are using, please? I'm thinking it'd be nice to use that while reading/studying using webtoons. Thanks!

Hi Natalia! Thank you for this so much! I dont know if this is too much or if it's possible but can you make a video on learning through context without the use of a paid subscription? Thank you again and I love your videos. They bring a smile to my face everytime
0:00 what do you say excatly there?
Can you make another free resource vid?? Some of the courses and apps you mentioned seem different than how u described them
thank you so much!! i don't know what i would do without your channel, you are always so helpful
I have a more I guess advanced problem. After learning for 5 to almost 6 years i have a difficult time talking and finding natives that are willing to speak. I try my best with apps but too often do I only get greetings and some knowledge about how old and how tall etc some basic questions and although those are great I don't see myself really thinking too far beyond basic simple 1 sentence responses and not giving my full advice or description about what I want to say. I tell people oh I can speak confidently but when I want to describe my thoughts I often come up short and I think I mean more description and longer topics but I don't think I see any practice for that I'm using chat gtp to give me paragraphs and 5 questions to answer so I can think about the question more in depth but I feel like a great way is to get a natives perspective on it because they can answer the way they were taught (in korean) that's my biggest problem right now
Perhaps doing a daily journal prompt :)
와우
I use Teuida for learning Korean.
Teuida is a good app~
Hi, can someone tell me what does 'G롤 하지마' mean? I read this sentence on Manhwa and I really didn't get it all.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can improve my speaking skills if I can't talk to native speakers? I've started learning not too long ago and I want to improve my speaking skill, I just don't know any native speakers and I live in Europe
I'm an exchange student in South Korea right now and I find myself rephrasing and asking back the statement to Koreans that have told me they want to improve their English as well haha
Hi this is motivatinhg me to learn the language but there's one thing I'm bummed about make sentences can pls make a video in a easy way?? Pls and this will help a lot of people
How do you get a favourite Korean steamer?
My biggest problems are speaking and consistency haha. Ive been learning for 2 years already, im sure in a few more years ill be able to understand alot of what i hear but i just cant form sentences properly. The things i can say, i say with a good accent. Ive been told by many koreans my accent sounds fluent, its the actual speaking im not good at lol. I could learn 500 new words and remember and understand them but i just couldnt use them myself
I finished Kiip level5 studied for about 1 yr and half, and still lacks on Conversation. I dont know what to do😭

BTS fans have it so easy when it comes to learning Korean.
1. Study korean in context

USE Transcripts
