I came here to tell you guys to NEVER GIVE UP!! I listened to this for the first time about 2 years ago and didn‘t understand much.. today I can proudly say that I understand 90% :) your hard work will definitely pay off guys!
I’m a few years late, but this video was great. Having the Korean Closed Captions with your English subtitles really helps me understand what you’re saying, and recognize some words I already know. It was fun hearing and reading in Korean some words you guys said and understanding them before reading the English translation. The short length of the video also helps me stay focused and motivated without feeling overwhelmed. 이제 한국어: 감사합니다! 비디오는 좋아해요. 이 비디오로 고부하세요. 미안하세요. 배우고 있어요. 모두 화이팅!
Thanks for the feedback! A TH-cam channel that has really helped me learn German also has double sub and short length with each video, and I wouldn't be as conversational with the language as I am without that channel.
Not sure how this is the first time I've found this channel, but I love this video and concept. I hope you're still making new videos like this one. So fun and natural. Thank you!
Have been listening to spongemind podcast on Spotify for about a year. I always like to listen to them again and again because the info is very interesting. You talk about so much things that make sense in a fun and comfortable way!
Thanks for the love! Getting feedback like this is very important to me because it gives me the drive to keep going with my work. Greatly appreciate it!
This is a nice video... you speak clearly and at a nice speed. My only suggestion would be for Korean subtitles (above the English subtitles so I can ignore the English and just focus on the Korean). 수고하셨어요
Hi Martin, thanks for the kinds words :) And about the Korean sub, I don't know how to change its location on the screen but I will look. But you can create your own Korean transcript by clicking the button at the bottom with three dots on it. There you can select "Open Transcript" and copy the whole thing over into a document program. You can also request a PDF file that comes with this video and copy/paste the Korean lines into your document. Please request it at spongemind.org
It's so weird being able to actually understand the conversation in this video. When I hear Koreans having a conversation in real life, I basically don't understand anything at all, so it often feels like my year and a half of studying in Korea has been getting me nowhere. But this is encouraging, thanks!
I gotta say my Korean sucks and I dont even see myself as a beginner, but I was happy to understand at least some parts of the sentences and eventually to understand from the context what they meant. So far, this was the best podcast i have heard so far, keep going!!
Still taking a long break.... thanks for your patience! For now, I am only focusing on the podcast which you can listen to on any podcast app such as Apple Podcast and Google Podcast. And also on Spotify!
Thanks so much for uploading this! I really appreciate the effort that you put into this video, the translations in both languages and the transcripts that you sent me. There's nothing this good out there (not in real-world context anyway)
Though I can read Korean fairly well, listening and understanding is still very challenging for me. Hopefully this will help me. This let me know I have a long way to go. Thank you for this!!
I think that's the right thing to do. In fact, we should NOT learn anything out of context. IMO it's the most inefficient way to spend our time and energy.
Ah~ das ist wunderbar, dass jemand aus Deutschland hier eine Kommentare geschriben hat! Ich lerne Deutsch und deswegen freut mich das wenn auch immer ich von einem Deutschen höre. Und ich bin auch glücklich, dass du den Witz für lustig hältst. -LG, Jonson
the joke is funny even for learners at about low intermediate level because we learn country names pretty early, and ㄹ 수있다 pretty early too, and ㄹ 수도 있다 a bit later BUT it's a grammar form that appears pretty often so I already had kinda sorted it out in my head before I formally learned it, just from knowing ㄹ 수 있다 and the effect of adding 도 ...and seeing it in context a lot of times. I am not one of the smart language students but I worked out the ㄹ 수도 있다 pretty easily...so the joke makes sense to me and is very funny...and I'm in a sorta limbo land level ...not low intermediate anymore but also not really high intermediate yet either.
Your videos are very fun and useful when it comes to study Korean. And thank you for speaking slowly - it helps a lot while listening🙏🏻. The joke is hilarious! 😂😂😂I am Ukrainian and understood it at once. Lol😂
No, the joke IS funny. I LOVE Korean style jokes and laughed as soon as you said it. The first time I made a pun in Korean with a friend, I was so proud of myself but she was ready to kick my butt. hah
"... I laughed as soon as you said it" - That's very impressive. Even 하나씨, the native speaker in this video, took a couple of seconds before she got it. Thanks for watching and laughing with the video :)
Thanks for the comment! You can turn on the Korean sub by using the buttons down the screen. The CC button turns them on and off, and the setting button takes you where you can choose the language.
New subscriber here..I love your content,I understand it little bit.right now I'm learning korean around 1month already this content help me a lot..고ㅁ어워
Wow only one month and you already understand some of what we said here! Although its title is Slow Korean, it's not exactly an absolute beginner's material. So I have to say I'm impressed :)
I would first start with English words (or English driven words). Just learn how to pronounce 커피 (coffee), 디즈니 (Disney), 이탈리아 (Italia), 프랑스 (France), 밀크 (milk), 크림 (cream), 피자 (pizza), 버스 (bus), 나이키 (Nike) and things like that; repeat until your pronunciations are close to the native speaker level. You can hear the Korean pronunciations of these words through Google Translator or Papago. That would be the very first exercise I would do to learn Hangul. Good luck!
I *loved* the joke, and as a foreigner I completely got it. Okay, I'll admit I didn't get it until I saw the Korean subtitles and realized it was the -ㄹ 수도 grammar, but once I saw the Korean subtitles I thought it was hilarious. I love dad jokes! And thank you for including it, because understanding those kinds of grammar jokes helps learners feel accomplished that they've learned enough to get why it's funny! Thank you for these videos and also for your podcasts on Soundcloud!
@@SpongeMindTV Polish :) I've been learning Korean for two years, but I have the biggest problems with listening and understanding. I'm glad I found your channel. 감사합니다
Totally understandable because your brain responds very slowly to your target language. That response time just gets shorter and shorter as you keep exposing yourself to its words and forms . It definitely speeds up over time and I can attest to it based on my experiences with English and German.

Thanks for the supportive words :)

Thanks Suzie! My plan was to go back to Korea and shoot more videos for this series but apparently it isn't possible at the moment ^^;;
I agree, I like the conversation style a bit more than the self reading. But maybe some people don't mind the self readings

Happy to hear that, Chris. I always feel we learn a new language by doing what's possible a lot of times, not by doing something impossible.
