She exactly understands how people who don't speak Korean at all should approach and learn the language in the first place. Also, her pronunciation is just a native speaker. It has been a great motivator for me. Thanks a lot! Hope all is well!!
I am Korean. I want to be good at English. But English is too difficult. Actually, I'm using a translator to write this article. English grammar is too hard And in fact, Koreans are not completely good at Korean either. So sometimes people say, "Am I really Korean? I should learn Korean again." So let's be confident and get to know each other's languages!Way to go for it!
I am from Ukraine. So i was leaning English too, and I can say something about it. "Readlang web reader" is for your browser. You can turn it on and click on the world you don't know. You will see it in Korean. On the website you can also see and practice the words you don't know. For grammar I can recommend just thinking what is going on in the sentence. I have some books, but I am not sure about language (either Ukrainian or English everywhere, what is not good for you) Also try not to put high expectations. Learn a bit, and a bit.(I was trying to write it as simple as I can. I'm a bit scared to use translator, because sometimes it gives something wrong 😅) I believe in you. You can do it!
Hai, my mother language is not English too. But because i watch many korean drama with english sub my english much bettterr. I suggest you to alwas watching with eng sub, its okay if you dont understand the story first u will get it by the time . Fighting! I learning korean too rightnow. But it is really practice a lot or i will forget
@@ppskg1 She actually has said that she wanted to learn korean because of a Korean cinema she watched which inspired her to learn the language, and once she started getting into it language she loved the culture and the language itself.❤
I'm amazed at how some people can self-study foreign languages. I tried to do it too at first, but even though I know consistency is the most important part, that's where I struggle the most. So I gave in and paid for online classes. I enjoy it a lot, and even became the Top 1 in our class. ^^ I guess what I'm trying to say is know what learning style you perform best in, instead of forcing yourself and expecting good results because I think learning will only be successful if you enjoy the process. 💌
"The most important thing here is consistency. Rather than going all-out for a few days and then giving up, it's better to go easy and slow, while also enjoying the process." Saving this quote because not realizing this has caused me a lot of grief :/ even with non-language learning stuff like learning to program.
as someone who majors in a programming related course, I can vouch that programming really isn’t something you can learn in a single school year (or more). it’s a gradual process of mastering the foundation and continuous discovery of a language’s features and specialties. Being an instructor right now, I’ve been repeatedly telling my students that the best way to learn programming is simply to practice, the school can only teach you the syntax, you’re the one who still solves the problem. I tend to advice them to solve at least 1-2 programming problems a day (or more if they’re free) and it will comes a time that whatever structure of problem they encounter, they can solve it as easily as breathing. learning Programming is a very challenging but fun process. Good luck and God bless on your programming journey ❤️
I've picked up just about as much Korean from studying as I have Mandarin from watching C-dramas. Relaxing and enjoying the learning makes a 10 Billion percent difference.
My only reason for wanting to learn Korean is so I can read the novels I like in their original language. This video helped me to understand where I should begin. Thank you!
@@thelongingthreshold Then practice listening a lot. As she said in the video, you need input so make sure to include listening lessons in your study plan and when you least expect it, you'll be getting their jokes and laughing with them 🤣🤣
I’m Korean, and I spoke it once! But I got too used to the English language and eventually forgot it all. So thank you so much for making this video! Now I can understand and speak Korean a little better! 😊😊 Also your Korean is wonderful! It’s amazing how you managed to learn it by yourself!
When you first started talking in Korean, I immediately fell in love with your words and the way you pronounce Korean so smoothly and accurately. Thank you you much for this video, really motivated me!!
Something that gives me motivation to learn Korean by myself, is that, I was able to teach myself English to a certain level where I can understand everything and be fluent, so I guess I can do the same with Korean
@@cubestick5303 Just do what you like, learn Korean if that’s what you really want, you shouldn’t listen to your mom in that case, because she’s not even the one whose learning it, not to sound rude but it’s not really her problem, so if that’s what makes you happy, do it then! You can do it!
Same!! English isn't even my first language but now I'm more fluent in English then my first language which is kinda of funny cause that wasn't my intention. :))
I started to learn korean last year and though I was consistent for 3 months, my motivation dropped bc I thought it'd take me too long to learn it and I got discoureged. But watching your explanation and experience made me believe in myself a little more. Thank u 🥺
You can do this! I'm trying my best to learn korean too however my learning time is so inconsistent and this video truly is encouraging. im going to try and get back into learning, and you can too.. even if its a few minutes, its the effort and practise that counts
I’m also learning Korean but what I’ve found that keeps me engaged is don’t treat it like a subject. I don’t use textbooks or study materials, I will use that later down the line. Right now I’m focusing on my listening and speaking skills so I consume a lot of Korean entertainment such as music, variety shows, dramas etc. While I’m not the best at grammar or writing essays I can understand a lot of Korean. To practice reading and speaking I look at song lyrics (even though I’m not very good a singing 😆) this helped me stay motivated to learn.
You motivated me so much. A year ago I started with Hangul. I was able to write and read, but I stopped because I felt lost after that. Anyway, I decided to start over. I am grateful that this video was in my youtube recommendations. Thank you this was very helpful 💜
Same goes for me. I am a working lady. Always up to learn new languages. Korean sounds really interested. U picked it up started learning, learnt hangul but work pressure didn't allow me to study it consistently. I was just planning to start over and saw this video.
02:44 I do this!! Last week I was reading Kpop lyrics on Spotify while listening to the songs (I had nothing better to do) and I started recognizing many Hangul characters and sounds. So I started writing my favourite kpop artist's name just for fun because it is so easy once you know the sounds! It's like a little puzzle! Edit: I wasn't planning on seriously taking up studying Korean (because I am already studying French, and Spanish and I wanted to start with Japanese) but your video was so helpful and interesting that I might just start with Korean right away! I love learning languages and just listening to you speak and looking at your notes was so tempting!
Hey!Sorry to bother But I was thinking of learning various languages starting from korean and japanese. But many people on internet says you should learn one language at a time or else it will get confusing. So are you facing this problem too?
@@eshita.agarwal Hi! So, Spanish and French do confuse me because they have the same letter and some words are the same but have different meanings (ex: Nombre which means 'name' in Spanish but 'number' in French) But when the language has different writing systems (Korean/ Japanese/ French) it's not that confusing. What I tend to do is, I learn different sections. Like, if I am doing Japanese vocab today, I'll focus on French grammar today and not vocab to avoid confusion. But experiment with what works best for you and good luck!
@@fionagreen9957 This is really great advice! I do something similar. I study Dutch, French, and Korean on different days. There can also be some benefits for studying similar languages (ex. French and Spanish) because even though there similarities that can be confusing there can also be helpful hints in some of the similarities too!
It's true when someone says learning hangul is easy. I fully started around two hours ago and i already rememner half of the alphabeth. Now it's important to learn other things but thank you this really helped a lot. I'll sure try to learn the same way you did ^^
@@darkdreamstays641 lmao exactly just because you know the alphabet, doesn't mean it's that easy to learn. u rlly can't underestimate korean. when i read your comment i found it rlly funny when u said u started learning 2 hours ago and now feeling so confident , i already knew you weren't gonna push through and now i was right when i read your reply😆😆
@@aesshole876 I'm still learning. I didn't give up completely I just don't learn every day. I have school from Monday to Friday and work from Saturday to Sunday. I still find time to learn at least three to four day a week for like an hour
Wow, your Korean handwriting is much better than my son's, who is Korean but was born in New Zealand. I taught Korean in the Sejong language institute in NZ and I really loved that experience. I appreciate your passion on Korean language. :-)
Here are the reasons: 1. Influenced by k-Pop/kdrama 2. They are just interested to learn another language other than usual alphabet 3. Both In addition, hangul is in fact one of the easiest languages in comparison to languages like Arabic/Japanese/Mandarin so it can be a good start for some people to learn a non-alphabet language (idk what it's called so..)
Korean is such a beautiful language! I recently started learning Korean and i’m really exited to be able to say phrases, and even sentences using Korean in the future:) good luck to fellow Korean learners out there!🩷
I was honestly confused for the first half of the video. I may not be able to differentiate much between a native and the way she speaks, but it honestly sounds flawless. I’ve been wondering what her native language is for a while. 😅 Besides that, hope everyone manages to achieve their goals when it comes to languages.
I got accepted into a student exchange program, so I'll be transferring to South Korea this August! Although I'm sure I'll be sheltered enough not to need comprehensive studying, I'm more the adventurous type who loves exploring and independence, so I want to safely and comfortably travel around!! Thank you so much, I've been feeling super overwhelmed with the language
This is SOOO helpful. Honestly even though I am married to a Korean and live in Korea, I find my self being discouraged when studying Korean. It feels like I’ll never be able to speak it. But hearing you speak and talk about how you studied it is SO ENCOURAGING. Thank you 🥰
From a person that lived in a country and didn't speak the language well, (please!) try learning! Even though I didn't speak Vietnamese very well, I was able to get around and people helped me so much.
i learn german from watching german shows and listening to Hörspiele everyday,can't learn grammar books🤭.Im trying to learn korean now the challenge is the pronounciation of words no one can correct me🤦🏻♀️ was looking in netflix if korean drama have korean subtitel unfortunately don't have.
Sometimes, I am very, very surprised that so many people around the world learn Korean. It will be very difficult when you first learn it. But the fact that we are learning makes us happy. Thank you.
i am kazakh and really more interested in learning korean than english lol. firstly heard about korea in 2017, after i started to listen to korean music, to research korean culture and started learning language. it is the most beautiful and interesting language i have ever seen and heard 🇰🇷✨💗
I'm finding learning korean is easier compared to say, Japanese (which is another language I want to learn) there seems to be aloooot of free and accessible resources for learning Korean which I appreciate soo much. Thank you for sharing this with us 💜
my goal would be as simple as to read webtoon on naver and to be able to listen to korean reality show without having to watch it! thank you for your explanation, I am determined to learn Korean language now :)

I’ve been trying to learn Korean for the past 4-5 years but life has made me too busy to commit to it but what’s motivating me is the literature in the original language. I really want to read Human Acts and Almond in the original Korean text. Thank you for this video!
i read almond in korean this year as my first korean novel (like, i've read others but never finished them), and i'm gonna start human acts soon too, i really recommend almond as it's quite easy compared to other korean novels, and it's amazing
@@chloe8387 I want to recommend Gu Byung Mo(author) Her books are for teenager but adults also love her books When I was young, I like reading only fairy tale book but I accidentally found her book in the school library and read her many books after that I recommended it to my friends who hated reading and saw them recommend it to another friend I especially love 'wizard bakery'
I’ve been learning Korean on and off for about a couple of months now. Reading everyone’s comments and seeing that I’m not the only one that started but didn’t continue makes me feel a lot better and a lot more motivated to continue learning. I want to re learn it so that way I can re program my brain to do use when I’m learning. Also watching variety shows help , they help me understand how to form sentences when communicating with a foreigner. Thanks for this I will be starting my studies again.
I'm starting to teach myself Korean over the summer break, and I believe these tips will be extremely beneficial to me as a beginner. I don't have the financial means to enroll in a Korean class, but if someone else can learn without one, I believe I can as well. FIGHTING!
this is me when i learned english. i used to write new words and memorize it. i learned it with songs for my listening skill & twitter for my writing skill. it's still awkward for me to speak in english tho :') btw there are new songs by Seventeen - HOT & _World, you can learn korean through that song, beside they're so catchy! really recommended
@@tay3350 i meant Christian Worship songs are great for example Levistance , agapao worship.(they are some beautiful channels who post worship songs) (Sorry if I spell it wrong) ❤️
I am a Korean-American, and I once spoke Korean.I've decided I want to start learning again. I really appreciate how much effort you put into this video and how you chose to speak Korean throughout. It is something not many people choose to do in these videos but I think it was a great choice!
My first attempt to learning Korean was back in 2010 when I first got into Kpop. While learning Hangul was relatively easy, the grammar rules have always confused me. Over the years, I attempt to learn the language again and again, but drop it after a few days. It was only with this year's attempt that I had actually made significant improvements, because of something my friend said. "Learn languages independently from each other, not as a translation of each other." I turn my English brain off. Put myself in a Korean context. You'd be surprised by the amount of vocabulary buried behind your mind, from years of watching variety shows. The grammar rules come to make sense eventually. The most important thing is to enjoy in learning, take lessons daily even short ones. Slow and steady wins the race. Hoping one day I can speak as fluently as you, Rhea. Thank you for the resources you've shared!
I like Korean and Chinese. I am learning English. When I read your title video, omg, I feel cute. I think Korean is cute and fun, pretty 😅 After finishing learn English, I'll learn Korean. I can't wait, feel fascinated now 😶😜
good luck! your english is so good! i’m learning english since my 1st grade and i speak it like my 1st languige. now i want to learn korean too! good luck💞
@South Korea You can learn new laguage easily. You know? I've realized I mistook in learning language. I learn much grammar and vocab, I don't focus on listening and speaking. The first thing we need to learn language is alphabet (writing), sound from alphabet, example and word's picture, and we need to repeat the passage without understanding, for my speech and my ear. Yes! I'm stupid @@
Your English is pretty good. Idk if u want feedback but if u do the only thing to fix in your sentence is where u place the commas for future you should put I think Korean is cute, fun, and pretty. Just thought I’d give u a little tip to improve on ur comma placement in English but so far ur doing so great!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
im half korean, and i really want to start learning the language so i can start talking to my relatives without the language barrier! thank you so much for this video
I haven’t heard anyone else do this so I want to share! I write a diary in Korean it’s makes me use words I actually need, and also forces me to make sentences by my self instead of uses those I se other use❤️ I did this when I was learning English is so fun seeing my progress
I’ve been self studying for 5 months now, and I’m now I’m so fluent in Korean, because you have really helped me all these months! - Japanease Person ^w^
@@enz0w772 its not about how long you study, its abiut how you study. You need to study the way that suits you. If you enjoy reading, you can learn more from novels than videos. If you learn by sound, you can listen to podcasts or videos. The main thing is to learn dialogue. TTMIK is an excellent resource. They also go to very high level Korean so you will never run out of learning material. Learn to write, learn sentence structure, learn vocab from dialogue, and then you will learn quickly.
I started teaching myself Korean at the start of the year but I have a short attention span and have very low confidence so learning it was hard and I gave up with a few days but this has definitely helped me want to learn again and helped me with ways to learn it that interests me, thank you.
Too sad I can't learn korean nowadays, I still have real school to focus on. But, Thank you for this vid I'll make sure I'll follow it right and I know I'll be great at it. Thank you!
Try using a korean learning app and use it during lunch or free time in class, it may feel like really little time but you can add up to 30 minutes of learning or more if doing it after school as well and committing Dont forget the weekends either
I'm on the same situation as you. This is my last high school year, I have some college entrance exams to do and I study English too, so I'm waiting for next year to learn Korean 🤡
I started learning korea last month, 😢😢😢 My brain is blowing up, sometimes i give up on learning it , doubting my abilities to read, identify, memoring, pronouncing and retaining what I've learnt so far. Learning a new language as an adult is so hard. Buh,no matter the challenges i can do this you inspire me. FIGHTING ✊✊
i’ve been trying to learn korean since 2019. at this point i’ve lost most if not all hope in doing so. i continuously get lost and overwhelmed. this video, however, gave me motivation. my dream is to become a therapist and/or english teacher in south Korea.
I'm completely new to learning Korean. So I decided to write out everything you wrote alongside the translation by Google. 😄😄 I'm so proud of myself. Made a few mistakes, though.

Right now me and my best friend are self studying Korean together so when we grow up we can go to korea together and attend kpop concerts!! Super excited!!
I'm currently studying Japanese and i kept procrastinating quite often lately but thanks to you I feel motivated to get back on track thank you so much
Hi I’m Japanese and I’m soooo happy that you’re studying Japanese😆 whenever I hear that foreign people are learning Japanese, it makes me happy😊 please keep working and come to Japan when Corona is over!
I tried learning it like few years back then but i stopped bcus i got demotivated eventually.. i was thinking of getting back, and i guess this video is a sign
Thank you, someone who understands my plight. I seriously want to learn Japanese, and Korean because I wish to travel...but I often feel burnt out trying to dig deep into the learning process instead of slow pace goal setting
I am also learning Japanese and this video did motivate me. It gets to a point where you just want to give up cause nothing sticks but I guess we just have to keep pushing
i have 14, korean is a language that i really like. i’m interested in languages in general but i decided that i wanna learn this one. it’s really beautiful so i’m excited about it, i hope i can be a fluent speaker in a few years
Am studying korean by myself too and i thought it would be difficult but am having fun learing it i can see that my hardwork is paying off😊😊😊 i love the korean language 😊😊
You're self-taught Korean sounds better and more fluent than a university taught student lmao. I think its the way we study. We learn more natural spoken phrasing early on through our videos which sticks. Well done.
@@rhea_irl Yoo!! You Have a very cute and calming voice. you really inspired us.. Thank you so much and Btw Your voice also sounds like Twice Sana. sarange, fighting 💜🙆
@@rhea_irl I can't find the real Hangul anywhere..I mean everytime I search inget different pictures soo yeah I'm confused and I can't continue the rest without the base that's why I can't learn..I really want to learn Korean soo if you can help a bit by telling me where to find Hangul and stuff it'll really be helpful :)
Korean was like the only language I put my heart into. I tried spanish but I got bored of it. Spanish wasnt for me so I dropped that language but some time I will continue it again. Then I found out about korean and was super hyped to learn Korean. I currently on my 4th month of learning Korean but I took a break. This vid is really motivating now. Korean is fun to learn but also sometimes I get stressed out because I realized that I have so many other thing I need to learn. I dont know much about the culture and the food so I'll start researching more. For me I think Korean was the only language I liked to learn so far. Some people might call me crazy when i say this but Comparef to spanish and Korean Korean was like a walk in the park. And it was so exciting to learn it. But theres just to much to learn about. I might not even make it to fluency level but Im just gonna try my best. Korean made so many other languages look even easier lol. I really enjoy Korea and I'd like to travel their some day. Korean is the best. and Thanks for the information and the wonderful vid.
Omg this made me start all over again. I've been studying on and off since then and it disappoint me so much when I almost able to read and write, construct sentences but stop midway. Been planning to go back studying for real now.
I tried to learn Korean in 2016 but gave up after a few months, my problem is that I want instant results and have no patience at all.. it took me years to become fluent in English so I know I have a long way to go to learn Korean. But I'm now really motivated to get back into it and study Korean consistently!!
I have unknowingly clicked your video every time I saw even though I had to repeat it, I just couldn't resist because you speaking Korean was like music to my ears and you motivated me a lot and I mean a lot a lot to learn Korean and I began thanks to you.
This video was really motivating to watch. I started studying Korean during the pandemic but I've recently been studying it on and off because of school... I really want to get back into it and this video is encouraging me to start again. I hope I can one day learn it fluently 💖화이팅!!
Thank you Rhea, I’m learning Korean currently and I haven’t had enough time to continue learning I’ve been so busy but this makes the process easier can’t wait to be fluent.
I am so proud of you Rhea! You have come such a long way in your Korean-learning journey, and it's incredible to see. I'm so excited for your future videos and the work you do sooner or later. Love you so much!!!
I stumble upon this video unexpectedly and you inspired me to continue learning Korean! I have started learning it earlier this year and suddenly stop because of inconsistency. Thank you for reminding and inspiring me! Fighting! ❤
I love how you actually speak the language you talk about ❣️ not to mention how smooth your voice is. I'm looking forward for every video profusely. I will certainly learn and train my ears.
i’ve really lost my motivation to study korean while going to college. honestly this video gave me a lot of motivation and i couldn’t be more thankful for the advice from this video!! thank you so much
I really dont know how to speak korean and understand it but hearing your voice i feel no matter i understand it or know but it sounds so well i feel to hear it again and agai. ❤❤😊
what.. i literally studying korean at the same year as you, which is 2017, but until now i'm still not fluent in korean☠ btw, thank you for making this video, this is really giving me a motivation🥺🥺
Read Korean books, magazines, tweets, comments,k-pop song lyrics etc.. have a Korean- English dictionary with you so that you could search the unknown words up watch k-drama or k-movies or reality shows etc with Korean subtitles speak up the words try to understand the pronunciation so that you can improve Korean reading, listening & speaking skills and also learn new words at the same time. All the best 🤞
I've been trying to learn for 7+ years on and off, I've tried everything, from apps, video's, audio, writing down everything. But I think the reason why I have failed is one, I have no one to test it on, no one to talk to in Korean (yes I even tried those apps where you do but no one is interested in the actual language, it's more like a random flirting awkward conversation. And second, in a way there is no point since there's no one local or even relatively close to my community learning Korean so I couldn't even join a language class if I wanted to. However there was one method that really helped me when I was studying words and pronunciations and that is when you come across a word that you know the meaning to and how it sounds, go to google, type in, Korean to English, and then hit the microphone button and try to say the word until the correct meaning and hangul come out perfectly. It really helps with being able to pronounce clearly instead of saying it wrong and it ends up sounding like something else with a different meaning. I know everyone is against romanization, but after I would figure out the correct way to pronounce it, I would write as closely to how it sounds as I could. I would write the word in 4 rows, Hangul, English, meaning, and then the personal romanization under all of it. My biggest struggle was sentences and the sentence structure. Even if I could memorize a whole sentence, trying to say it, especially a long one would have me stuck. Give me sayings, expressions, and phrases and I'm good to go, anything longer...forget it. It's just too hard to learn a language that you wouldn't even be able to practice or talk to anyone which is the way to keep the language fresh in your memory. I've just given up at this point.
Thank you so much for this information!! I'm trying to learn korean so I can be able to talk to my classmate thats a new student who is also korean. She's feeling a little left out since everyone in my school speaks english and I want her to feel at home C:
I remember a while back, i watched a lot of videos like this but they all made me feel down by saying korean is so hard and it's not like you think and this and that, but this video helped and will help me a lot in the future, tysm for this
3 years ago, my only goal was to learn how to read and write in korean( which I was able to achieve in 90 minutes thanks to 90 day korean lol) as soon as I learned how to read I opened naver and read every article i could find just to practice my reading speed and pronunciation despite not knowing the meaning of what I was reading I just kept going I even followed as many korean artists I could just to practice reading their posts ( cause theyd put long descriptions on their selfies in korean) but then reading got boring so after a month I decided to learn new words and grammar from ttmik and go billy ( both sources are extremely organized in teaching you from a to z so I highly suggest ttmik and go billy sources) fast forward 3 months later, I officially joined the ksif level 1 way back 2019 and im currently a level 6 in the institute on top of that earlier this year, i have also won 3rd place at the korean speech contest which was honestly a big acheivement for me especially because I never intended to go this far. I'm sad to say I'm still not fluent in the language. there are still many words and expressions I don't know unless I truly focus on studying but I can proudly say I've come a long way and I'm hella comfortable speaking to my teachers and classmates in Korean. It's second nature to me. all this was made possible by one goal which is to progress. my goal is progress, not fluency cause when you aim for fluency, it'll overwhelm you and will show you how far the road is and how much you don't know, so you'll end up subconsciously discouraged. but if you aim for progress, it'll always show you how far you've come! plus I always tell myself language learning is a lifelong process so go easy on yourself and grow as you go. let's keep learning everyone.! education is brain development no matter the age and the benefits you get from educating yourself, especially in languages is UNMATCHED!
reading these comments is so motivating!! i've started and dropped korean a few times over about 4 years and seeing others with the same experience makes me feel much better about it. i've been getting back into it again recently and i'm planning to continue no matter how hard it gets. thank you for the tips! xx
I started learning korean subconsciously with kdramas, for me, I could read and write in a day or two and have basic conversations just by imitating native speakers. The problem came when I had to study for an entrance exam, I had never really studied grammar or had practised my spelling. I am currently looking for ways to do so and this video really helped me gain confidence because I cannot afford to pay for content so watching someone who also did it with free resources makes me feel a bit better.
I think one thing about people’s faults in education is many undermine their efforts while also believing they haven’t progressed and are not a better version of themselves than before. It is hard to not feel rewarded or proud of yourself when you still have so much more to learn, but it will always be that way in life. Our world is ever changing and progressing. So stop dreading the fact that you will never know all of it and start with the fact that you have come so far from before. It’s all about mindset and consistency, and I believe in you!! We can learn this together. Even clicking on this video and watching it puts you one step ahead of where you were 20 minutes ago.
I've just started learning korean recently, and my mood has been going up and down about it, but this has motivated and helped me greatly, thank you sm ❤
This is what I needed. I started self-studying Korean this past Saturday after learning the entire alphabet in a day. I quickly hit a wall with my studying as I felt I wasn't really progressing in my study. I learned from your video that Google translate is terrible for learning words and phrases. I also found some online pdfs that have great methods on learning words and retaining the knowledge. I'm going to start using duolingo as I'm used to that app for when I was learning spanish. Thanks for all the tips!
와 한국말 너무 자연스러워요 영상 시작하자마자 뭐지? 그냥 한국인 아닌가? 할정도로 너무 자연스러웠어요 저도 외국어 전공자인데 이렇게 자연스럽게 될때까지 얼마나 노력하셨을까 생각하면 너무 멋져보이고 저도 그 경지에 도달하도록 열심히 노력하고 싶어요 👍 역시 파파고 ㅋㅋ 파파고 좋죠
Ive been "studying" korean for almost 4 years but i get busy and overwhelmed and i have gotten little to nothing done. Of course i know basics but i feel useless and awful for knowing so little after so long. This video gives me comfort to start again taking little, productive steps towards fluency. Thank you so much :) and to anyone out there in the same boat we got this!! Good job getting this far!
Thank you for this video! I recently started learning Korean because of cultural reasons, I was dissapointed in Oily London (I still am) and to understand my idols language. This helped me get started! Currently working on my Hangul. Good luck friends on your Korean journey!
I started learning korean because I saw that you don't need to pay for classes to learn (I've wanted to learn for sometime but I haven't because I thought i would need to take classes) But I started last week because of this video! thank you! I've been learning from coursera and TTMIK and they have helped me learn fast! Thank you!!!
I'm not going to lie I mainly wanted to learn abt it bc I was into kpop and watching dramas but it just seems like just a beautiful language I love the way it sounds and is pronounced, and just love how cute it looks while written 😭😭 plus sounds fun to be bilingual
Well I've been learning with oli london all this time, but this is cool too I guess

I am Korean. I want to be good at English. But English is too difficult. Actually, I'm using a translator to write this article. English grammar is too hard And in fact, Koreans are not completely good at Korean either. So sometimes people say, "Am I really Korean? I should learn Korean again." So let's be confident and get to know each other's languages!Way to go for it!
That's good 😊 I hope you will be able to learn English in the future ✌️✨
You can learn English. I believe in you.
I am from Ukraine. So i was leaning English too, and I can say something about it. "Readlang web reader" is for your browser. You can turn it on and click on the world you don't know. You will see it in Korean. On the website you can also see and practice the words you don't know. For grammar I can recommend just thinking what is going on in the sentence. I have some books, but I am not sure about language (either Ukrainian or English everywhere, what is not good for you) Also try not to put high expectations. Learn a bit, and a bit.(I was trying to write it as simple as I can. I'm a bit scared to use translator, because sometimes it gives something wrong 😅) I believe in you. You can do it!

Hai, my mother language is not English too. But because i watch many korean drama with english sub my english much bettterr. I suggest you to alwas watching with eng sub, its okay if you dont understand the story first u will get it by the time . Fighting! I learning korean too rightnow. But it is really practice a lot or i will forget
As a Korean, I can see how much effort you've put into this...thank you so much for loving our language❤
Really she is too good!!
This is not surprising you know because of BLACKPINK (K-POP) 💕🤗
@@ppskg1 can y'all stop correlating everything korean to kpop. its ridiculous that's how all yall view korean and our culture.
@@hxnxp04 I agree. Same with Japanese people always sand it down to relate with anime
@@ppskg1 She actually has said that she wanted to learn korean because of a Korean cinema she watched which inspired her to learn the language, and once she started getting into it language she loved the culture and the language itself.❤
I'm amazed at how some people can self-study foreign languages. I tried to do it too at first, but even though I know consistency is the most important part, that's where I struggle the most. So I gave in and paid for online classes. I enjoy it a lot, and even became the Top 1 in our class. ^^ I guess what I'm trying to say is know what learning style you perform best in, instead of forcing yourself and expecting good results because I think learning will only be successful if you enjoy the process. 💌
Is there a specific course on a website you paid for, or did you go through a college or something?
May i know where you paid your online courses please ? 👀 that can be really interesting, I think I will have the same problem 🥲
Me too can i know which coarse u enrolled?
Same tell
Online course?
"The kind of textbook you use does not matter but it is the kind of mindset you use with it." Line went deep into my veins
"The most important thing here is consistency. Rather than going all-out for a few days and then giving up, it's better to go easy and slow, while also enjoying the process."
Saving this quote because not realizing this has caused me a lot of grief :/ even with non-language learning stuff like learning to program.
Oh I know the boy in your profile it’s Gunhoo right? He is in the tv show named “The Return Of Superman” I like it a lot! 🖤💜
@@parkjisa6099 yes!!! he's so cute 💝
right bc i take months at a time off and then start up again where I left off which is not good probably why I'm so confused atm
as someone who majors in a programming related course, I can vouch that programming really isn’t something you can learn in a single school year (or more). it’s a gradual process of mastering the foundation and continuous discovery of a language’s features and specialties. Being an instructor right now, I’ve been repeatedly telling my students that the best way to learn programming is simply to practice, the school can only teach you the syntax, you’re the one who still solves the problem. I tend to advice them to solve at least 1-2 programming problems a day (or more if they’re free) and it will comes a time that whatever structure of problem they encounter, they can solve it as easily as breathing. learning Programming is a very challenging but fun process. Good luck and God bless on your programming journey ❤️
I've picked up just about as much Korean from studying as I have Mandarin from watching C-dramas. Relaxing and enjoying the learning makes a 10 Billion percent difference.
My only reason for wanting to learn Korean is so I can read the novels I like in their original language. This video helped me to understand where I should begin. Thank you!

I’m Korean, and I spoke it once! But I got too used to the English language and eventually forgot it all. So thank you so much for making this video! Now I can understand and speak Korean a little better! 😊😊

@@tantanta___9 Yes. While I was listening to her talk, I immediately pictured bo young
Something that gives me motivation to learn Korean by myself, is that, I was able to teach myself English to a certain level where I can understand everything and be fluent, so I guess I can do the same with Korean
same here!
@@cubestick5303 Just do what you like, learn Korean if that’s what you really want, you shouldn’t listen to your mom in that case, because she’s not even the one whose learning it, not to sound rude but it’s not really her problem, so if that’s what makes you happy, do it then! You can do it!
Same!! English isn't even my first language but now I'm more fluent in English then my first language which is kinda of funny cause that wasn't my intention. :))
omggg sameee
same, I now understand English perfectly and I have faith I will too in Korean
I started to learn korean last year and though I was consistent for 3 months, my motivation dropped bc I thought it'd take me too long to learn it and I got discoureged. But watching your explanation and experience made me believe in myself a little more. Thank u 🥺
You can do this! I'm trying my best to learn korean too however my learning time is so inconsistent and this video truly is encouraging. im going to try and get back into learning, and you can too.. even if its a few minutes, its the effort and practise that counts
Does anybody want to be study partners?
@@kimberlygreen2331 me! 😅👋
I’m also learning Korean but what I’ve found that keeps me engaged is don’t treat it like a subject. I don’t use textbooks or study materials, I will use that later down the line. Right now I’m focusing on my listening and speaking skills so I consume a lot of Korean entertainment such as music, variety shows, dramas etc. While I’m not the best at grammar or writing essays I can understand a lot of Korean. To practice reading and speaking I look at song lyrics (even though I’m not very good a singing 😆) this helped me stay motivated to learn.
Have you gotten any better after a year of posting this comment😌
You motivated me so much. A year ago I started with Hangul. I was able to write and read, but I stopped because I felt lost after that. Anyway, I decided to start over. I am grateful that this video was in my youtube recommendations. Thank you this was very helpful 💜
I'm glad I could help ^^ Good luck!!
Same goes for me. I am a working lady. Always up to learn new languages. Korean sounds really interested. U picked it up started learning, learnt hangul but work pressure didn't allow me to study it consistently. I was just planning to start over and saw this video.
Oh my god
Sameeee
Yeah same here I know to read and write but can't speak fluently
Wow, it's awesoma that you are going back to studying 😁! Good luck, I hope you achieve your goals now ❤
02:44 I do this!!
Last week I was reading Kpop lyrics on Spotify while listening to the songs (I had nothing better to do) and I started recognizing many Hangul characters and sounds.
So I started writing my favourite kpop artist's name just for fun because it is so easy once you know the sounds!
It's like a little puzzle!
Edit: I wasn't planning on seriously taking up studying Korean (because I am already studying French, and Spanish and I wanted to start with Japanese) but your video was so helpful and interesting that I might just start with Korean right away! I love learning languages and just listening to you speak and looking at your notes was so tempting!
Hey!Sorry to bother
But I was thinking of learning various languages starting from korean and japanese. But many people on internet says you should learn one language at a time or else it will get confusing. So are you facing this problem too?
@Fiona Green Who old are you......?jj
@@eshita.agarwal Hi! So, Spanish and French do confuse me because they have the same letter and some words are the same but have different meanings (ex: Nombre which means 'name' in Spanish but 'number' in French)
But when the language has different writing systems (Korean/ Japanese/ French) it's not that confusing.
What I tend to do is, I learn different sections. Like, if I am doing Japanese vocab today, I'll focus on French grammar today and not vocab to avoid confusion.
But experiment with what works best for you and good luck!
@@sumitasnim4872 Just turned 25 :)
@@fionagreen9957 This is really great advice! I do something similar. I study Dutch, French, and Korean on different days. There can also be some benefits for studying similar languages (ex. French and Spanish) because even though there similarities that can be confusing there can also be helpful hints in some of the similarities too!
It's true when someone says learning hangul is easy. I fully started around two hours ago and i already rememner half of the alphabeth. Now it's important to learn other things but thank you this really helped a lot. I'll sure try to learn the same way you did ^^
how are your achievements?
That's the same thing happened with me!
@@СабринаЯкубова-о4х eh, i stopped now because of school but i know full alphabeth and some phrases

@@aesshole876 I'm still learning. I didn't give up completely I just don't learn every day. I have school from Monday to Friday and work from Saturday to Sunday. I still find time to learn at least three to four day a week for like an hour

이렇게 많은 사람들이 한국에 관심을 가지고 한국어를 배우고 싶어한다는게 너무 신기하다..
방탄 때문에 💜👑
주로 kpop과 kdrama 때문에
بسبب الكيبوب ليس بسسب حب الكورين،
Here are the reasons:
1. Influenced by k-Pop/kdrama
2. They are just interested to learn another language other than usual alphabet
3. Both
In addition, hangul is in fact one of the easiest languages in comparison to languages like Arabic/Japanese/Mandarin so it can be a good start for some people to learn a non-alphabet language (idk what it's called so..)
@@iamgorgeous exactly, I love learning languages and the cultures of where these languages are spoken from.
It’s my favorite thing to do
Korean is such a beautiful language! I recently started learning Korean and i’m really exited to be able to say phrases, and even sentences using Korean in the future:) good luck to fellow Korean learners out there!🩷
Hii! It's been 7 months now. Can you tell how much you have learned till now?🦋
I have studied Korean for a while now and all I can say is: You sound like a native speaker of the language that's not easy to achieve.
I was honestly confused for the first half of the video. I may not be able to differentiate much between a native and the way she speaks, but it honestly sounds flawless. I’ve been wondering what her native language is for a while. 😅 Besides that, hope everyone manages to achieve their goals when it comes to languages.

This is SOOO helpful. Honestly even though I am married to a Korean and live in Korea, I find my self being discouraged when studying Korean. It feels like I’ll never be able to speak it. But hearing you speak and talk about how you studied it is SO ENCOURAGING. Thank you 🥰
From a person that lived in a country and didn't speak the language well, (please!) try learning! Even though I didn't speak Vietnamese very well, I was able to get around and people helped me so much.

I’ve been learning Korean on and off for about a couple of months now. Reading everyone’s comments and seeing that I’m not the only one that started but didn’t continue makes me feel a lot better and a lot more motivated to continue learning. I want to re learn it so that way I can re program my brain to do use when I’m learning. Also watching variety shows help , they help me understand how to form sentences when communicating with a foreigner. Thanks for this I will be starting my studies again.
How you started please can you tell me
I'm starting to teach myself Korean over the summer break, and I believe these tips will be extremely beneficial to me as a beginner. I don't have the financial means to enroll in a Korean class, but if someone else can learn without one, I believe I can as well. FIGHTING!

I am a Korean-American, and I once spoke Korean.I've decided I want to start learning again. I really appreciate how much effort you put into this video and how you chose to speak Korean throughout. It is something not many people choose to do in these videos but I think it was a great choice!
My first attempt to learning Korean was back in 2010 when I first got into Kpop. While learning Hangul was relatively easy, the grammar rules have always confused me. Over the years, I attempt to learn the language again and again, but drop it after a few days. It was only with this year's attempt that I had actually made significant improvements, because of something my friend said.
"Learn languages independently from each other, not as a translation of each other."
I turn my English brain off. Put myself in a Korean context. You'd be surprised by the amount of vocabulary buried behind your mind, from years of watching variety shows. The grammar rules come to make sense eventually. The most important thing is to enjoy in learning, take lessons daily even short ones. Slow and steady wins the race.
Hoping one day I can speak as fluently as you, Rhea. Thank you for the resources you've shared!
oh that's when i was born 😁

@South Korea You think my E is so good, really 😳🤭
@South Korea You can learn new laguage easily. You know? I've realized I mistook in learning language. I learn much grammar and vocab, I don't focus on listening and speaking. The first thing we need to learn language is alphabet (writing), sound from alphabet, example and word's picture, and we need to repeat the passage without understanding, for my speech and my ear. Yes! I'm stupid @@
@South Korea Hahahahhaaa but what u are from?

@@enz0w772 its not about how long you study, its abiut how you study. You need to study the way that suits you. If you enjoy reading, you can learn more from novels than videos. If you learn by sound, you can listen to podcasts or videos. The main thing is to learn dialogue. TTMIK is an excellent resource. They also go to very high level Korean so you will never run out of learning material. Learn to write, learn sentence structure, learn vocab from dialogue, and then you will learn quickly.
I started teaching myself Korean at the start of the year but I have a short attention span and have very low confidence so learning it was hard and I gave up with a few days but this has definitely helped me want to learn again and helped me with ways to learn it that interests me, thank you.

Pronunciation is also pronunciation, but the intonation and the height of speaking?So good🤭
헉. 저는 한국인인데 알고리즘에 떠 보게되었어요. 나레이션 듣자마자 한국분인줄 알았어요. 너무 잘하셔요! 저도 유튜브 채널을 운영하고 있는데 rhea님 영상을 보고나니 영어가 제 모국어는 아니지만 자신감을 가지고 영어로 영상 만들어봐야겠다는 생각이 드네요 :) 이미 너무 훌륭한 한국어실력이시지만 앞으로도 응원할게요!!
와 동지다!
Right now me and my best friend are self studying Korean together so when we grow up we can go to korea together and attend kpop concerts!! Super excited!!
Wow it’s amazing how much you’ve learned in 3 years. I’ve been “trying” to learn for 3 years but just do the basics and then give up and then repeat 😭
omg same for me haha but I’m trying to be more consistent now, because I’m going to visit Korea next year
I'm currently studying Japanese and i kept procrastinating quite often lately but thanks to you I feel motivated to get back on track thank you so much
Hi I’m Japanese and I’m soooo happy that you’re studying Japanese😆 whenever I hear that foreign people are learning Japanese, it makes me happy😊 please keep working and come to Japan when Corona is over!
I'm trying hard to learn Japanese can u plz give me some tips😁
I tried learning it like few years back then but i stopped bcus i got demotivated eventually.. i was thinking of getting back, and i guess this video is a sign
Thank you, someone who understands my plight. I seriously want to learn Japanese, and Korean because I wish to travel...but I often feel burnt out trying to dig deep into the learning process instead of slow pace goal setting
I am also learning Japanese and this video did motivate me. It gets to a point where you just want to give up cause nothing sticks but I guess we just have to keep pushing
i have 14, korean is a language that i really like. i’m interested in languages in general but i decided that i wanna learn this one. it’s really beautiful so i’m excited about it, i hope i can be a fluent speaker in a few years
Am studying korean by myself too and i thought it would be difficult but am having fun learing it i can see that my hardwork is paying off😊😊😊 i love the korean language 😊😊
You're self-taught Korean sounds better and more fluent than a university taught student lmao. I think its the way we study. We learn more natural spoken phrasing early on through our videos which sticks. Well done.
Your voice sounds so cute and calming
How long have you been studying Korean to come to this level? Cause your Korean sounds really really nice.
I've been studying for about 3 and a half years :D
@@rhea_irl Hard work really pays off, thank you for the tips 🙏
@@rhea_irl Yoo!! You Have a very cute and calming voice. you really inspired us.. Thank you so much and Btw Your voice also sounds like Twice Sana. sarange, fighting 💜🙆
@@rhea_irl Are you study it by yourself in this 3.5 years?
@@rhea_irl I can't find the real Hangul anywhere..I mean everytime I search inget different pictures soo yeah I'm confused and I can't continue the rest without the base that's why I can't learn..I really want to learn Korean soo if you can help a bit by telling me where to find Hangul and stuff it'll really be helpful :)
Korean was like the only language I put my heart into. I tried spanish but I got bored of it. Spanish wasnt for me so I dropped that language but some time I will continue it again. Then I found out about korean and was super hyped to learn Korean. I currently on my 4th month of learning Korean but I took a break. This vid is really motivating now.
Korean is fun to learn but also sometimes I get stressed out because I realized that I have so many other thing I need to learn. I dont know much about the culture and the food so I'll start researching more. For me I think Korean was the only language I liked to learn so far. Some people might call me crazy when i say this but Comparef to spanish and Korean Korean was like a walk in the park. And it was so exciting to learn it. But theres just to much to learn about. I might not even make it to fluency level but Im just gonna try my best.
Korean made so many other languages look even easier lol.
I really enjoy Korea and I'd like to travel their some day. Korean is the best. and Thanks for the information and the wonderful vid.
Omg this made me start all over again. I've been studying on and off since then and it disappoint me so much when I almost able to read and write, construct sentences but stop midway. Been planning to go back studying for real now.
I tried to learn Korean in 2016 but gave up after a few months, my problem is that I want instant results and have no patience at all.. it took me years to become fluent in English so I know I have a long way to go to learn Korean. But I'm now really motivated to get back into it and study Korean consistently!!
what’s ur mother tongue? bc u said it took you years to learn english
I have unknowingly clicked your video every time I saw even though I had to repeat it, I just couldn't resist because you speaking Korean was like music to my ears and you motivated me a lot and I mean a lot a lot to learn Korean and I began thanks to you.
This video was really motivating to watch. I started studying Korean during the pandemic but I've recently been studying it on and off because of school... I really want to get back into it and this video is encouraging me to start again. I hope I can one day learn it fluently 💖화이팅!!
I have the same problem the school is killing me and I don't have time even for sleep.
same
I'm excited to learn Korean from you. You speak effortlessly and you've provided great resources. Keep going Rhea!
Is she indian?
I speak arabic and English,I am learning German adter I feel really confident in german. I will come back to this video and start learning Korean.
Thank you Rhea, I’m learning Korean currently and I haven’t had enough time to continue learning I’ve been so busy but this makes the process easier can’t wait to be fluent.
Can we appreciate how BEAUTIFUL her voice is?! 😍 I'm sure people found this helpful too!
I'm gonna start learning after my exams right now it's hard to manage with study everyone good luck ❤
I am so proud of you Rhea! You have come such a long way in your Korean-learning journey, and it's incredible to see. I'm so excited for your future videos and the work you do sooner or later. Love you so much!!!
I stumble upon this video unexpectedly and you inspired me to continue learning Korean! I have started learning it earlier this year and suddenly stop because of inconsistency. Thank you for reminding and inspiring me! Fighting! ❤
I just found this video and the beginning gave me motivation to clean my bedroom so I have space on my desk to learn thanks ☺️
I love how you actually speak the language you talk about ❣️ not to mention how smooth your voice is. I'm looking forward for every video profusely. I will certainly learn and train my ears.
i’ve really lost my motivation to study korean while going to college. honestly this video gave me a lot of motivation and i couldn’t be more thankful for the advice from this video!! thank you so much
I really dont know how to speak korean and understand it but hearing your voice i feel no matter i understand it or know but it sounds so well i feel to hear it again and agai. ❤❤😊
what.. i literally studying korean at the same year as you, which is 2017, but until now i'm still not fluent in korean☠ btw, thank you for making this video, this is really giving me a motivation🥺🥺
Read Korean books, magazines, tweets, comments,k-pop song lyrics etc.. have a Korean- English dictionary with you so that you could search the unknown words up
watch k-drama or k-movies or reality shows etc with Korean subtitles speak up the words try to understand the pronunciation so that you can improve Korean reading, listening & speaking skills and also learn new words at the same time. All the best 🤞
the fact that ur indian really motivates me for some reason :) I'll start studying and hopefully I make some progress
Anyone else in love with her soft voice?
I've been trying to learn for 7+ years on and off, I've tried everything, from apps, video's, audio, writing down everything. But I think the reason why I have failed is one, I have no one to test it on, no one to talk to in Korean (yes I even tried those apps where you do but no one is interested in the actual language, it's more like a random flirting awkward conversation. And second, in a way there is no point since there's no one local or even relatively close to my community learning Korean so I couldn't even join a language class if I wanted to.
However there was one method that really helped me when I was studying words and pronunciations and that is when you come across a word that you know the meaning to and how it sounds, go to google, type in, Korean to English, and then hit the microphone button and try to say the word until the correct meaning and hangul come out perfectly. It really helps with being able to pronounce clearly instead of saying it wrong and it ends up sounding like something else with a different meaning. I know everyone is against romanization, but after I would figure out the correct way to pronounce it, I would write as closely to how it sounds as I could. I would write the word in 4 rows, Hangul, English, meaning, and then the personal romanization under all of it.
My biggest struggle was sentences and the sentence structure. Even if I could memorize a whole sentence, trying to say it, especially a long one would have me stuck. Give me sayings, expressions, and phrases and I'm good to go, anything longer...forget it. It's just too hard to learn a language that you wouldn't even be able to practice or talk to anyone which is the way to keep the language fresh in your memory. I've just given up at this point.
Thank you so much for this information!! I'm trying to learn korean so I can be able to talk to my classmate thats a new student who is also korean. She's feeling a little left out since everyone in my school speaks english and I want her to feel at home C:
I remember a while back, i watched a lot of videos like this but they all made me feel down by saying korean is so hard and it's not like you think and this and that, but this video helped and will help me a lot in the future, tysm for this
3 years ago, my only goal was to learn how to read and write in korean( which I was able to achieve in 90 minutes thanks to 90 day korean lol) as soon as I learned how to read I opened naver and read every article i could find just to practice my reading speed and pronunciation despite not knowing the meaning of what I was reading I just kept going I even followed as many korean artists I could just to practice reading their posts ( cause theyd put long descriptions on their selfies in korean) but then reading got boring so after a month I decided to learn new words and grammar from ttmik and go billy ( both sources are extremely organized in teaching you from a to z so I highly suggest ttmik and go billy sources) fast forward 3 months later, I officially joined the ksif level 1 way back 2019 and im currently a level 6 in the institute on top of that earlier this year, i have also won 3rd place at the korean speech contest which was honestly a big acheivement for me especially because I never intended to go this far. I'm sad to say I'm still not fluent in the language. there are still many words and expressions I don't know unless I truly focus on studying but I can proudly say I've come a long way and I'm hella comfortable speaking to my teachers and classmates in Korean. It's second nature to me. all this was made possible by one goal which is to progress. my goal is progress, not fluency cause when you aim for fluency, it'll overwhelm you and will show you how far the road is and how much you don't know, so you'll end up subconsciously discouraged. but if you aim for progress, it'll always show you how far you've come! plus I always tell myself language learning is a lifelong process so go easy on yourself and grow as you go. let's keep learning everyone.! education is brain development no matter the age and the benefits you get from educating yourself, especially in languages is UNMATCHED!
Omg you’re pretty fluent in Korean, I love it. I look forward to your next videos ! 😍
Thank you !! 💖
Your corean is so good! Your voice is also so rexaling, I wanna be like you :), keep growing
reading these comments is so motivating!! i've started and dropped korean a few times over about 4 years and seeing others with the same experience makes me feel much better about it. i've been getting back into it again recently and i'm planning to continue no matter how hard it gets. thank you for the tips! xx
I started learning korean subconsciously with kdramas, for me, I could read and write in a day or two and have basic conversations just by imitating native speakers. The problem came when I had to study for an entrance exam, I had never really studied grammar or had practised my spelling. I am currently looking for ways to do so and this video really helped me gain confidence because I cannot afford to pay for content so watching someone who also did it with free resources makes me feel a bit better.
I think one thing about people’s faults in education is many undermine their efforts while also believing they haven’t progressed and are not a better version of themselves than before. It is hard to not feel rewarded or proud of yourself when you still have so much more to learn, but it will always be that way in life. Our world is ever changing and progressing. So stop dreading the fact that you will never know all of it and start with the fact that you have come so far from before. It’s all about mindset and consistency, and I believe in you!! We can learn this together. Even clicking on this video and watching it puts you one step ahead of where you were 20 minutes ago.
I've just started learning korean recently, and my mood has been going up and down about it, but this has motivated and helped me greatly, thank you sm ❤
한국과 한국어에 관심 가져줘서 고마워요🤍 우리 언어를 이렇게 온 마음 다해 노력해서 배워준다니 한국인으로서 너무 감동이네요... 한국어 목소리 너무 듣기 좋아요!
Why is it so satisfying when she speaks Korean- it’s just… *chefs kiss*
한국어 진짜 잘하시네요! 발음도 좋고 목소리도 넘 예쁘세요! 화이팅!! ✨
감사합니다ㅠㅠㅠ!!!
This is what I needed.
I started self-studying Korean this past Saturday after learning the entire alphabet in a day. I quickly hit a wall with my studying as I felt I wasn't really progressing in my study. I learned from your video that Google translate is terrible for learning words and phrases. I also found some online pdfs that have great methods on learning words and retaining the knowledge.
I'm going to start using duolingo as I'm used to that app for when I was learning spanish. Thanks for all the tips!
You have worked really hard .. Your korean is so so fluent.. I aspire to be like you
와 한국말 너무 자연스러워요 영상 시작하자마자 뭐지? 그냥 한국인 아닌가? 할정도로 너무 자연스러웠어요 저도 외국어 전공자인데 이렇게 자연스럽게 될때까지 얼마나 노력하셨을까 생각하면 너무 멋져보이고 저도 그 경지에 도달하도록 열심히 노력하고 싶어요 👍 역시 파파고 ㅋㅋ 파파고 좋죠
천사같은 목소리!♡
Angelic voice!♡
Ive been "studying" korean for almost 4 years but i get busy and overwhelmed and i have gotten little to nothing done. Of course i know basics but i feel useless and awful for knowing so little after so long. This video gives me comfort to start again taking little, productive steps towards fluency. Thank you so much :) and to anyone out there in the same boat we got this!! Good job getting this far!
Omg this video was so so good and soothing and so helpful!! I’m so excited for future videos 🤩🤩🤩 I can’t wait! 화이팅 !
Thank you for this video! I recently started learning Korean because of cultural reasons, I was dissapointed in Oily London (I still am) and to understand my idols language. This helped me get started! Currently working on my Hangul.
Good luck friends on your Korean journey!
Watched this video after wondering whether or not to completely ditch Korean… thank you so much.
Its hard to keep the motivation up 😅 so I made a gc to get support
I started learning korean because I saw that you don't need to pay for classes to learn (I've wanted to learn for sometime but I haven't because I thought i would need to take classes) But I started last week because of this video! thank you! I've been learning from coursera and TTMIK and they have helped me learn fast! Thank you!!!
I'm not going to lie I mainly wanted to learn abt it bc I was into kpop and watching dramas but it just seems like just a beautiful language I love the way it sounds and is pronounced, and just love how cute it looks while written 😭😭 plus sounds fun to be bilingual
EXACTLY ME. girl im not even gonna type a comment bc just same
Wow, you're amazing. 👍 And it's already over 3 million views in 10 months! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m a korean and I’m astonished by your pronunciation!!!
I even hear some country side accent😳
I've heard some people say I have a slight mix of 사투리, maybe because I've watched so many movies in which the characters speak with accents haha >
Please you can help me to learn Korean I am from India please help me my name is Anu
