Ten years ago, I stumbled upon this video shortly after I decided to shift from learning Japanese to Korean. Now, a decade later, I find myself living in Korea, sharing my life with a Korean partner, and working as a full-time TV/media translator. It's a delightful surprise to see this video resurface on my TH-cam homepage today.

This was the first video I watched in my (inconsistent) attempt at learning Korean, I took some random lessons, dropped it, came back to this video, and it still remains the most Korean I know outside of random words and phrases I’ve picked up from my constant Korean content consumption. 😂 Thank you for this. 😂
I mentioned this'd been in my watchlist for a while now when my bf was looking through language options in a game I got him into. Finally said I'd watch it before bed. Six thirty in the morning at least a month after getting this into my watchlist when it's literally five minutes. I'm saving the screenshot.
@@ADeadlierSnake I've no reason to lie about it.. It took me like 2 minutes to read it through lol. I then checked Google translate and I read it correctly.
This is one of the most clickbait-y titles of all time, and yet it actually isn't clickbait. That's impressive. Nearly word-for-word the same as the other comments here without even reading them, that's even more impressive.
@@xGRASHOPAx clickbait has been a thing since newspapers, it had nothing to do with youtube, people just know it from youtube cause somehow most people on the internet are younger than when youtube was created
That's not the case for me.. i've watched this video long ago just for fun and i find it very interesting that it really does make me able to read literally every korean word after watching this video.. at the end of the day, it all depends of how interested you are in learning korean..
Actually, I was able to read it , you need to watch other videos of the korean alphabet because he went through it really fast so you don’t memorize it , once you know the letters , you can read it :)
@@zahraalawas So it takes more than 5minutes. If can read whole grammar for russian on wikipedia in 20minutes it doesn't mean that i can read and speak fluent russian in 20 minutes.
Miklas Karjalainen the title said learn to read and he taught you how in 5 min and u learn it for 5 min which doesn’t mean you will be able to after this video.
As someone learning Korean, when I saw the title I thought it would be a scam but I must say it's real, this does teach you Hangeul, althought this is not all the Korean, he didn't mention the tense consonants (kk, tt, jj, pp, ss) some aspirated consonants (k, t, ch) and the double vowels (wa, wo, wae, we, oe, wi, ui) but this is a really good start!, I hope everyone that wants to learn Korean sees this video so they have a solid base.
What you should know is that if you study hard to learn Korean it will take approximately 2000 hours to learn... which is much better than say japanese or mandarin chinese which might take 5years to a decade to become completely fluent in.@youknowkbbaby
@youknowkbbabyThat's always a very subjective question and depends on your motivation, discpline, methodology and consistency. While talent can help, it is only a kickstarter, talent without consistency and practice goes to waste
This video inspired me to learn Korean so now I can write a few sentences like: 이 한국 학생의 노래. (This Korean student's song.) 와 이 도넛의 맛. (Wow, this donut's taste.) I don't know much though and I'm still sceptical of whether I'm correct or not. I also use duolingo as well so... it taught me to say duolingo 듀오링고.
@@arandomperson920 두번째 문장의 경우(와 이 도넛의 맛)는 제가 아는 선에서 알려 드릴 수 있습니다... 한국어에서 맛은 명사로서의 기능만 가지고 있기에 taste를 동사로 사용했다면 서술어인 '있다'가 붙어야 합니다. 그러나 이 경우, 의(조사)가 도넛 옆에 있으면 문장이 어색해집니다. 그래서 제외하여 '와 이 도넛 맛있다' 라는 문장이 완성됩니다. (다른 조사인 '이','은'은 비교적 덜 어색하지만, 문장의 의미가 달라져야하거나, 다른 뉘앙스가 들어가는 것 같아 제외했어요) 그리고 예전에 다른 유튜버들의 한국어 듀오링고를 봤을 때 그다지 좋은 교재는 아니라고 생각했어요.. 다만 한글에 익숙해지기 쉽다고도 생각했습니다. 4년 전에 했던 생각이라 요즘은 듀오링고도 개선이 되었을 거라 생각하긴 하지만, 조금 더 진지하게 한국어를 배워보고 싶으시다면 유튜브 영상이나 교재를 한번 찾아보셔도 좋을 것 같아요. 사실 저는 모국어를 문법적으로 잘 알지 못하고, 영어도 잘 못하다보니 설명이 틀렸을 수도 있어요.. 그래도 공부에 도움 되었다면 좋겠습니다.
I am flabbergasted. I've been learning languages for more than 15 years, and never had I encountered someone with such a talent to teach someone something to effortlessly. This is nothing far from wizardry. Thank you for this video!!
this is only good for reading it, not understanding it. for example now that you've watched you know what this says: 안녕하세요 but you might not know what it means

This video literally made me a bf and 2 sons, this is how. I watch this vid, i was really inspired to learn Korean, i studied 2 years, i joined a korean group chat to practice, found it was a dead group until a random korean guy joined. We were the same age and he thought i was a guy at first and we became friends, found out i was a girl then we played minecraft and called often, 2 weeks later he asked to date, he lived a 10 hour drive away and drives to me. I then move to his city, found out i was pregnant so moved in with his parents, then rented our own place and we have two sons. Crazy butterfly effect. I cant believe my life started from here, and i wouldnt want it any other way. I went from never thinking id have kids and didnt want any, to suddenly wanting and having them. Down side, i still dont know Korean... fluently anyway, i understand his family sometimes
@@puppetmaskerr thanks, im having to try learn more korean again bc my sons getting old enough to speak but mostly knows English, dont wanna let him down, gotta teach him korean too
if i actually had the energy, i’d probably would be able to learn Korean from this video. still, a 5 minute video is better than 4 years with a teacher.
I avoided this video for so long because I thought it was clickbait lool now I can read everything just fine //I struggle a bit, but I'm getting better lol
@@thestrangler2688 that's my experience with Arabic, especially when reading Al-Quran, I can read it but most of the times I don't know the meaning of it without reading the translation
Honestly sometimes if you're writing notes, your focus can kind of just shift completely to writing the notes rather than actually listening to the teacher
Wasn't this alphabet literally designed by an old Korean monarch with the purpose of being easy to learn so everyone would be able to read? Amazing how effective it is
This alphabet, Hangeul, is the greatest alphabet recognized by linguists around the world. And it is the only character in the world whose principle and date of birth have been clearly revealed. So Korea has the lowest illiteracy rate in the world. The UN even teaches Hangeul to minority ethnic groups who do not have letters. And it is the most efficient character suitable for the era of the 4th industrial revolution. Renowned linguists around the world commonly regard Hangeul as the greatest cultural heritage of mankind. Hangul can express many sounds in the world, including characters that are not used now. So Koreans are proud of this character. King Sejong, who invented this character, is in a statue in front of the Presidential palace.
dude. this is so helpful, wth. symbols are making it make sense, because the pronounciations are mostly simple to me but then i hear a word and realize it sounds different to me and then i'm like?? but this is making it so much easier to comprehend
One day my little sister was in the kitchen trying to learn the Korean alphabet. I came by for a coffee and saw what she was doing and found it interesting, so we began by figuring out the logic of it and quickly enough we got a good grasp on how to read Korean words. It was surprisingly easy and fun. And I got to enjoy my coffee.
The korean alphabet was literally written to be as easy to learn as possible and this just proves how effective that effort was. Theres a saying about the letters that goes “A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; even a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days."

In the languages I've learned, Chai, Banana, and Chocolate are always the same. You wanna open up an international smoothie stand... those 3 flavors won't need any translations.
bah nah nah
so here i am learning how to read korean when i have a maths exam tomorrow.
SwegTesh so true :D
SwegTesh just answer it in Korean 😂

This video literally made me a bf and 2 sons, this is how. I watch this vid, i was really inspired to learn Korean, i studied 2 years, i joined a korean group chat to practice, found it was a dead group until a random korean guy joined. We were the same age and he thought i was a guy at first and we became friends, found out i was a girl then we played minecraft and called often, 2 weeks later he asked to date, he lived a 10 hour drive away and drives to me. I then move to his city, found out i was pregnant so moved in with his parents, then rented our own place and we have two sons. Crazy butterfly effect. I cant believe my life started from here, and i wouldnt want it any other way. I went from never thinking id have kids and didnt want any, to suddenly wanting and having them.
Down side, i still dont know Korean... fluently anyway, i understand his family sometimes
Damnnn congrats
@@puppetmaskerr thanks, im having to try learn more korean again bc my sons getting old enough to speak but mostly knows English, dont wanna let him down, gotta teach him korean too

Wasn't this alphabet literally designed by an old Korean monarch with the purpose of being easy to learn so everyone would be able to read? Amazing how effective it is
This alphabet, Hangeul, is the greatest alphabet recognized by linguists around the world. And it is the only character in the world whose principle and date of birth have been clearly revealed. So Korea has the lowest illiteracy rate in the world. The UN even teaches Hangeul to minority ethnic groups who do not have letters. And it is the most efficient character suitable for the era of the 4th industrial revolution. Renowned linguists around the world commonly regard Hangeul as the greatest cultural heritage of mankind. Hangul can express many sounds in the world, including characters that are not used now. So Koreans are proud of this character. King Sejong, who invented this character, is in a statue in front of the Presidential palace.
I think you mean lowest ILLITERACY rate right?

One day my little sister was in the kitchen trying to learn the Korean alphabet. I came by for a coffee and saw what she was doing and found it interesting, so we began by figuring out the logic of it and quickly enough we got a good grasp on how to read Korean words. It was surprisingly easy and fun. And I got to enjoy my coffee.

The korean alphabet was literally written to be as easy to learn as possible and this just proves how effective that effort was. Theres a saying about the letters that goes “A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; even a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days."
