"Korean is easy" they said
"You'll learn it in no time" they said

@@iminbreadbutfrench8625 laughing nervously in having no knowledge at all
@@junhaoong941 my tip is learn the basics like present/future/past and you'll get a hang out and learn the formal first not the infromal nor honorific it might really seems daunting since present tense is the hardest it has 7 rules that you should know but it's very easy since it's very logical hope I can help you just ask whenever you want
@@iminbreadbutfrench8625 omg thanks!! but i'm still really confused about the batchim pronunciation rules.😅
that moment when she starts to read korean realy fast
It's just normal. Any native speakers speak their own languages very fast.
*starts reading korean normal
The fact that this girl is teaching me a whole new language better than any app or website I’ve been to is amazing. I’m learning so fast and it’s so fun. Thank you!
Soo true.. I can understand everything with watching her video one time...
@@jesuislareine4593 Me too! Its honestly a talent to be so good at explaining stuff like this.
And most importantly for free. Damn we're having good time here ❤️
thats why i prefer to learn korean through youtube than apps.. cause not all the pronunciation created inside the app are by native koreans.. most of them sound so robotic..so youtube is the way to go for learning pronunciation and developing listening skills.
I was just thinking the same thing. Shes making it easier for the community to learn!
Honestly, watching your videos for 2 hours has helped me more than using an app for a month😂 ty so much for putting videos out like this too help other people
TH-cam videos are a lot more useful than an app thooo.
Since we are quorentined and school is canceled I’m learning at least 1 or 2 languages to confuse people lol
Same 😂😂✌
same here
i’m learning korean (just know some things but still going on), starting to learn italian and practicing my english (bc it’s not my first language) at the same time lmao
@@sanuvers4294 I am arabic and in our school we learn 3 languages :arabic, english and french and we are learning those languages online and i am also learning korean because of k-pop and k-drama and i think i will learn spanish too but iam not sure about it rn
@@blinkinncitytaylorsversion4907
i am brazilian. my school used to teach us spanish, but now we just learn the basic english (for me it's kinda unnecessary, istg that i speak english better than my teacher) and, obviously, portuguese, so i'm trying to learn a bunch of languages by myself (i wanna study spanish again, wanna learn french, japanese, etc)
korean is the first language that i tried to learn on my own and i'm doing well so far, but i don't know what to expect for the other languages, so i'm kinda scared lol
I’m learning Korean to confuse people when I go back to school too. English is my first language, and I learned Chinese for 3 years in school (since 5th grade) and I also want to learn French,Spanish,or Italian after that.
It's funny because I thought that "yes" in Korean sounded like "dae" and actually I discovered through your classes that it is actually "nae" haha the similarities are so tricky ...
Because when we watch kdramas it actually sounds like "dae"
Hahahaha same thoughts
Actually the word ㄴ has a sound somewhere between n and d so in some words we focus on n and in some on d, yes sounds like dae only
@@amatya3142 how do we know which words sound like "d" and "n". im a bit confused on that part
@@ginofresito5058 well actually you can use either sound, it's more like a sound between n and d toh once you start speaking korean with romanisation then you will gradually start speaking the sound between n and d.. and it's actually not a problem if you use either of these sounds but it should probably contain the other word too.. (a little bit of it) i think once you start practicing speaking words and reading and listening you will come to know that it's neither n nor d it's somewhere between..❤️ i hope this helps
for the r/l one, say real but with an l in front instead of r. "leal" it shows u were to place ur tongue for it
OMG U ARE A GENIUS SERIOUSLY THNAKS FOR THE ADVICE
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW
THERE ARE STILL GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
*Plays the video*
*A BTS ad shows up*
Me: ah yes I'm learning korean because of you guys HAHAHHA
:D
•PreciousLeila• that is true
Same

I'm learning korean to make koreaboo's jealous, lol. There's a lot of them in our neighborhood.
I'm an Asian..so I think as an Asian Korean alphabet is the easiest alphabet to learn.. Korean grammar is also pretty similar to my language..but spoken Korean is quite difficult..
I'm Asian as well...I think alphabet are easy peasy...but the grammar would beat the sh*t out of you.😀
Honestly I’m a Spanish speaker and honestly I wanted to learn Japanese, but the pain hit when I had to learn the hiragana, katakana and kanji, and Korean strolled its way in and it’s fewer characters 😭🥺😂
The alphabet isn't that hard. You can easily learn it within (or even lessons than) a week. It's what comes after; the adverb, adjective and verb conjugation, sentence structure, informal, formal and polite are more complicated
What is your language? I am interested in what commonalities (if any) exist between Korean, Japanese and Chinese
@@priyankapadhi2026 same
I feel like anyone with poor vision, reading Korean is a nightmare🤣
Hi, I'm annie i used to make the font so BIG when i first started. Now i just mostly assume lol
Ah but I got glasses
LOL... But you probably haven't seen the Arabic letters... their fonts all seem so small and there are 1, 2 or 3 dots for different letters and sometimes the dots are not easily noticeable! I love the Arabic language, but reading it is a real challenging, especially because there are other facts that make it even harder. Because of that, I find the Korean writing much easier!
★How to learn Korean fast!★
1. Listen to the pronunciation of Koreans and read the sentences aloud several times.
(It's better to read quickly.)
2. Read the 100 Korean words a day. Don't try to memorize them. Just read along. Just refer to the examples. It's important to do 100 each a day.
3. After watching your favorite Korean video (drama), don't look at the screen and just listen to the sound several times.
4. After studying Korean on TH-cam, write comments in Korean. (You have to talk a lot in Korean to improve your Korean language quickly. ^^)
*Ask me whenever you need Korean practice!!😀
School starts for me in two days and I'm making myself learn Korean even though I should be revising Japanese for class-
Hi, 빅키샘! This is my first comment on your video. Your voice is so beautiful and sounds really soft to listen to. Thank you for your video, and I look forward to your next video. You are very good at teaching!
코멘트가 "held for review" 되어있었어요! 왠지 모르겟지만;; 감사합니다 코니님! :) 코니님두 한국어 레슨 화이팅이에요~
agree totally :)
@@KoreanwithMissVicky well i don't know the meaning of what you have written but i am 95% sure that i read it correctly and this is all because of you. Thankyou so much for whatever i have learned till now from your channel.
@@strangegaming3526 you probably dont need to know this but for the sake of my understanding 😂 i think she said the OP’s comment was held for review and she doesn’t know why but she she says thank you and fighting for her Korean lessons (the OP teaches Korean too).
The technical term for that "flexible" vowel sound is "dipthong." Americans tend to flex their vowels more than, for example, native England English speakers, especially those who have a higher social class and education level. For an American who studied French (many years ago now!) I had to learn about phonetics and how one can accurately represent the way language is actually spoken, versus how things are spelled. A great example for those who might be new to this concept would be the word "try." The "y" at the end of the word is technically a long "i" sound, but if you listen to yourself say it, the shape of your mouth actually CHANGES while you are pronouncing it. The jaw and tongue move as you voice the vowel! Your mouth actually starts with an "ah" sound and moves to an "ee" sound at the end. If you say it super slowly, you might hear the change! It's kind of fun to learn these things about language. Like French, Korean uses monophthong vowels, meaning that there is no change within each vowel sound made, and the mouth doesn't actually move (especially the tongue and jaw) while the vowel is voiced, so the sound is pure and unadulterated. I know I just geeked out a bit, but I find languages fascinating, and I felt it might help someone even a little bit. I really enjoy your lessons, Miss Vicky! Thank you for your diligent work!
Yes, this helped. This helped so much! I first started watching K dramas in 2010 and within a few episodes I started "accidentally" learning Korean. It wasn't long before I started actively trying to learn it, in my not-so-spare time.
Seriously, if I had just kept watching Korean media I would probably be at least semi-fluent by now, but life just kept getting in the way. Lately I've been trying to get back into studying it more seriously and your comment really helped trigger some of my old memories of things I learned years ago (which I'm pleased to find are still rattling around in there somewhere). THANKS!
This is hard but you explained so in depth and so patience. I just have to get to used to it and practice more😭😭 thankyouuu 선생님
For native English speakers the difference between consonants c & g, p & b, t & d etc is not aspiration but voice. They form voiceless and voiced pairs, as in pear and bear etc. The difference in aspiration isn't meaningful, that's why we find it difficult to get the difference between the Korean consonants where aspiration is meaningful.
Same with Japanese speakers. We make differences by voicing.
"â (â) , î (î)
no English equivalent - it's best to hear it being spoken. â and î are the same sound in Romanian. î is used at the beginning and end of words, and in compound words where one of the words begins with the î sound (i.e. neîndemânatic), and â in all other cases. The best way to approximate this sound is to attempt to make the vowel in "ski," then retract your tongue toward the center of your mouth. " i bet it sounds exactly the same as in korean :D
That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm romanian too 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
yes!! being a romanian does help in learning korean, i wouldn’t have guessed, i’m surprised! :)) și bunăă răspund după doi ani lool cum te descurci cu coreeana?
I'm having some troubles with distinguishing the sounds tsktsktsk gonna cry at the edge of my bed and then come again to continue learning 😔
ify
How’s it going?
I thought speaking Spanish is gonna make this WAY more easy,and I’ve got the feeling I’m right 😅
Its much more easier bc we have similar sounds and the way to form the sentences is the same
Subject + object + verb
Noo our way to form sentences isn't similar, ours is like: Yo como vegetales-Yo(Subject)+como(verb)+vegetables(object).So I think it isn’t easier for us(i am a native Spanish Speaker) to learn korean, this is my point of view :D
sort of,however some sounds are quite difficult to assimilate to me, but. I think that if i practice more everything will go smooth...
btw, good luck learning korean :)
It is easier in the fact that you don’t have to learn a new alphabet, just learn how they are pronounced. But for Americans or ppl who originally speak English, it gets rlly confusing in the pronunciation. Plus the verbs have more conjugations than in English so even tho the grammar is similar, it’s more complex (depending on the sentences) I believe Korean is easier than Spanish.
@@anapaulamakarenacabanillas9124 oh, you re right! I only thought of things like 'Yo te amo'
at some point in time you should get involved with italki .. more or less, i feel you'll make so many people happy with this gift you have
thank you for saying that. it's nice to hear 😊
@@KoreanwithMissVicky yea these videos will be a great deal of help to those currently studying korean @ italki. while you can also become a teacher and get paid for doing what you love
Thank you for the video, I learned a lot. And your Chinese pronunciation"爸爸" is very standard

This is really uplifting. For Germans Korean is really hard to learn, but here I got perfekt explaination and training. Thank you so much Vicky!🥰
I just learned how to read and write in Korean after watching this video and the previous one. It's unbelievably crazy. 진짜 고마워
Update?
Omg she really explains everything so detailed and clearly, thank you so much. I feel my brain hurt but that's probably because I tried to learn everything in one day.😂😂 I got most of it tho...
The hardest part for me was definitely the sentence practice. I'll keep rewinding.
when she said 케 이 크 (cake) it reminded me of when jhope said “ don’t touch my face-eu” 😂
@Zayana Gray me too
First practice sentence: I want to learn Korean fast
Me: yeah that seems helpful,pretty basic
Second sentence: It's annoying to see a magpie imitate me
Me: wHa.....
So helpful!!! These are literally the exact pronunciations I've been struggling on.
I really like how detailed this is! I've been struggling with these and it's so nice of you to actually explain it in-depth and put emphasis on the position of the tongue and whatnot! Thank you!
I always get scared of pronouncing things wrong when I read Korean or try writing it out and saying it, but this helps me be more confident in how I say things ^^ thank you
Thank you so much for making these videos!!! I’ve been watching a bunch during this quarantine. I’ve been meaning to learn Korean for years but have never followed through until now. Thanks again for taking the time to make these!!
You helped make the hardest things become short. Keep doing it! I love your channel.
I love that you don't have bgm ,all i can hear is your voice, I can easily focus on studying., 😄
Exactly the subtle details I am looking for! Very useful and practical! Thank you Vicky!
This is seriously the most helpful pronunciation video I've seen! Thank you so much!
i was really waiting for your pronunciation guide bc you teach more clearly and i could easily understand it! thank you so much
I’m thinking how many notebooks you’ve spent for these videos. 감사합니다👍🏼 I’m learning slowly w your videos. Keep up the good work.
you're really the best teacher our there. ive been learning korean for a few weeks now and i recently found out about your youtube videos, it really makes me motivated and understand the language so much, you're a great teacher thanks again
Omg¡ you’re such a great teacher¡ The comparison between Korean and English, and Korean and Spanish are incredibly helpful. I’m definitely subscribing
Extremely helpful! I've been struggling with wrapping my head around this even while watching some other videos but this explained everything really clearly. Thank you!
Your Korean classes are the best ever!! It's the methodology, details and clarity that sticks out;감사합니다😊👍
Hey Miss Vicky I just discovered your channel and I'm amazed how amazing your explanation is and it's all for free thank you so much 🙏
This channel is a true treasure💕💕 straight to the point, detailed and well explained lessons😊 thank you sooo much💕💕
i’m actually really proud of myself for figuring out the tongue behind your front teeth thing for ㄴ! i just thought that i made up some weird not really correct way to make it sound correct after listening to people and myself saying it over and over
thanks so much. i had been struggling for the past 2 weeks with the correct pronunciation to the point that I thought koreans must be crazy remembering so many exceptions. But this video cleared up so much and made everything understadable.
Thank you for the clear details on Korean pronunciation. I've subbed. I have been learning from paid programs and free programs, but your teaching is superior. Thank you.
I just wish native Korean speakers admitted (YES, I think the right word is ADMIT) that syllables like 고 and 코 when pronounced in isolation and without ANY context or extra emphasis, are EXTREMELY hard to tell apart, as they are both realized as voiceless and aspirated.
Do you agree? It would come as consolation to a foreign learner (me!).
Awesome video, as usual! Keep up the great work! :D
Just want to let you know about my appreciation of your hard work and you are an amazing teacher. Thank you very much. Great help!
It's so fun learning korean from you! 감사합니다 🤩
For some reason, It’s easier for me since I have a Australian accent. It’s more relaxed and soft than a American accent. Anyway, thanks for the great video Miss Vicky!
Thank you Miss Vicky! Your lessons have solved so many doubts and confusions!
Thank you for this video Miss Vicky. It definitely helped me with my Korean pronunciation.
The way miss Vicky helped me distinguish the sounds of each vowels and consonants better than the apps I'm using combined (not an exaggeration) FOR FREE. You explained all of it really well. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your videos they truly are wonderful!! Working my way through learning this language by myself and these are the only thing that is helping me get through. Hoping one day to have someone to practice with!
Lol perfect timing 😄 Thank you👍
Thank you so much Miss Vicky! You’re an amazing teacher. I’m learning little by little. ❤
Thank you for these lessons! They are SO helpful.

The best teacher ! The best Korean teachr award goes to miss Vickey !
I still don't get why is she so underrated!
That hardwork of yours will pay off ! Fighting! Haha
Thank you so much for making videos like thisss 💗
You're amazing, you're really a great teacher! Thank you so so so much for all this free knowledge. I am learning a lot :)
Phonem G, B, J, D if they are located at the 1st syllable, the phonem will be pronouned as K, P, C, T (Aspirated sounds). However if they are located at the 2nd or 3rd syllable, they will become unaspirated sounds (G, B, J, D).
For example : Jeju is pronouned Cheju... the 1st J become aspirated Ch.
Bibimbab will pronouned as Pibimbab.. B changes to P (aspirated)...
I am correct
Double consonant such Bb, Jj, Dd, are unavailabe in English. They are equivalent with chinese pinyin B, Z, D.
A very interesting and informative video; I'll definitely check out more of your videos :)
It's interesting to see that I have a bit less of a problem distinguishing between the sounds and making them based on my mother tongue.
Also, learning another foreign language (Korean) with explanations in a foreign language (English) is basically having double the benefits- learning a second language and getting better at English at the same time, gotta love multitasking ^^
Writing Korean is totally fine. Easy. Pronouncing it is a nightmare for me. But this video is super helpful!
One of the reasons that i did no struggle at first with korean is because am a native spanish speaker, and vowels are clear and consistent like in spanish, as opposed to english. Thanks for your great explanation Vicky.
I'm a native Spanish speaker too, but for me is a little bit difficult aaaah :c
I'm learning with you. Thanks for this!
I've learned a lot in just watching 2 videos. This is more helpful than almost 7 apps I downloaded. Please continue uploading tutorials 🙂
New subscriber here 🙋♀️ your videos are amazing and so helpful❤️ Thank you for helping others learn😘🙏☺️
Excellent explanation miss viki. Thank you
this video was wayyyyyy easier to comprehend than duolingo thank youuuuuu!!!!!!! :)
You teach me more about English that i never knew and that's my language
U know i love your explaining & teaching Style ✨️❤️
Thank you Miss Vicky. I'm a Filipina and because of the Enhance Community Quarantine I decided to learn a korean language and i already watch 2 videos of yours and I'm am proud to share that I learned a lot. Even though I'm a beginner I already learned some of the basic lessons of korean language "HANGUL" just like what others are doing.
I am new to learning Hangul, and this video covers some of my struggles pronouncing consonants. 감사합니다 Vicky. This lesson is excellent for improving my pronunciation. 👍
받침 비디오 시리즈로 쌤의 채널을 찾았는데 꾸준히 보고 있어요! 감사합니다 빅키샘~~ 구체적인 설명을 해주시네요!
8:00 why did they Koreanize "swag" like whyyy
thank you so much!!!! your videos are so helpful
Great video! Thanks again!
This is extremely helpful!!
I'm a Spanish native speaker who's learning Korean in English haha so your videos also help me to understand English pronunciation better 💜
I'm sooooo happy that infound ur channel!
Wow! You're amazing! Thank you so much! You are a great teacher!
Omfg this video was so helpful. My only major problem was just my american way of pronouncing words, so vowels and consonants sounded harder than what they need to. This is great 😭
Thank you so much. Will learn it later.
For me the vowels are easy to pronounce,'ㅡ' too,we have an equivalent but I struggle a lot with distinguishing the consonants. Thank you so much for your help unnie!
I am honestly getting frustrated haha! But with practice, I know be better at this. Thank you so much for putting these tutorials together! Really appreciate it!
Thank u so so so so so so so much
I really needed this.
That’s very helpful thank you sm!!!
Thank you do much for the Spanish examples! I speak Spanish and English, and the Spanish examples really helped me differentiate the difference between digeut and san digeut(sorry for the poor romanization... lmao) but that actually helped me! Tysm.
Thank You very Much Miss Vicky, Your Korean teaching videos are the best ! I really wish that You give Us private lessons or courses for the People who want to practice more natural Korean conversations like Italki App
Thank you! So helpful 💕
You are the best teacher of korean
Thank you! This helped a lot!
The quarantine made me learn a new language.. and so I'm here 😉
Thank you so much 💜💜💜
thanks for the lesson! it really helped :))
Started learning Korean in Nov. 2020. *Offline exam announced* left everything and started studying day and night for 2 months.(Jan to Feb) *Started having confusions in Korean pronounciation* and now I am here. Repeating every class.
Edit: I used to watch 1 video a week.. so basically giving 2 hours a week to Korean (yeah I know that was poor but now I am giving 2 hours to Korean everyday). ..
Edit 2: it's August... And there were tests again so I stopped for 4 months too.. Repeating again 😑
I'm a native Spanish speaker and I think that's helping me a lot with Korean lol
thank you!it's very helpful!
