I probably won't be able to go back to Korea again for another year or so, but your videos are REALLY making me want to throw away my job and life and just buy a ticket lol
AHAHA broooo~ Me for the 12 month before actually coming to Korea~ 😂
I'm on the verge, too lmao
@@NataliaGarza is language school worth it? having a blast?
I’m flying to Korea next month as a language student and your videos make me look forward to it even more!! 😩
Eyyy same! What university are you going to?
OMG that's so exciting~! Prepare yourself for the cold! haha
@@NataliaGarza Haha will do!
Definitely gonna be drowning in 47291 layers of clothing including the Korean staple winter piece: the long black padded jacket
@@skzwholamao Going to Sogang University wbu?
@@kat1ha dongguk! I hope you have fun at sogang, I heard it’s really nice there :))
I'm a upper beginner in Korean and you really motivate me to study and learn more so that one day I'll be able to understand and speak Korean ;) You're the best Natalia it makes me so happy seeing you so excited
which uni
dude i’m so happy for you!!! i can imagine how long you’ve been wanting this😭🥺
Awww thank you~ 🥺🥺💕
As a foreigner studying at Busan University at the time, I feel you on the academic thing ahah. Funny thing is even though I learnt all the PPT and report stuff at language school, teachers are always like " Can you do a PPT like you would do back in France " . I guess I'll use my knowledge of Korean PPT later. Keep going with your videos ! It's interesting to see how's Seoul going
Oooooo interesting~~ I wonder if I'll be told the same thing once I enter graduate school~ 🧐
I really liked it that you spoke random Korean words/ sentences :D Loved the video. I just smiled throughout. So happy for you all! Keep working hard
Glad you liked it!! And ahaha yesss I didn't used to do that, but now that I'm in Korea it just slips out because that's how we all talk~ hahaha
I still remember that I cried at the end of her moving video when she landed and actually arrived!!,so happy for you, got so much love energy for korean even more. Sending you love from here in Africa:D♡♡!!!
I really liked the book store! A dream for Korean language learners
RIGHT?!? My friend told me it was big but I didn't think it'd be THAT big~
Yes
Girl omg I want to cry this reminds me when I went and walked around Korea Uni and then went to that same Starbucks!!! I will be back soon I miss Korea so much
Oh noooo haha I'll take lots of footage of KU for you haha
@@NataliaGarza yay I want to study there so I’ll probably be in Korea soon 🤞🤞🤞
love this!!! im really curious to know if you would ever do one of those "only speaking in korean for a day" videos! i think they're super fun to watch and i would love to see how much your korean has improved ^__^
Hmmmm I dunno~ I'm not completely against it, but it's just that writing the subtitles takes FOREVER 🥲🥲🥲🥲 I don't think I'll be making one anytime soon because I have midterms coming up 🥲🥲
@@NataliaGarza hahaha that's okay, focusing on ur midterms should definitely be ur number one priority so you gotta do it when you have loads of free time !!!
I just had to come on here and say your hair looks amazing!, I’m sorry I can’t stay and watch the full vid as it’s currently 12am and I’m working on a uni assignment which is almost finished FIGHTING!! 😊💜 but I will come back and finish the whole video tomorrow because I’m super excited and interested to hear how your journey is going.
Awww thank you~ I'm so grateful that the purple faded out nicely~~ Ahah no worries~! I'm about to continue my school assignment too haha
I loved watching this.
Also, it's so interesting to see the covid measures in Korea. Here in the Netherlands we have waaaay higher covid cases (went from 1500 daily to 3700 daily in a week), but literally everything is open and masks are not mandatory anymore.
The campus is so pretty!!! It would make me want to study Korean everyday!!! lol. I also love the purple top where did you get it ?
Right~! It's soooo pretty~
I got it from a random clothes shop in Hongdae~!! I don't know the brand, but it's one of those shirts that sold at several stores in Hongdae~ haha
I'd lived in Korean and learned Korean 3 years ago. Korea's life is a happy memory to me😊 And now I'm learning English with your videos. 😎
i've wanted to live in korea basically my whole life
even before i got into kpop and kdramas
(my Intrest in that stuff made me want to go more tho lol) and watching this is just like UGHH i wanna go so bad
I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago but I'm already in love with your videos! You always motivate me to keep going with my korean studies and you overall seem like such a wonderful person
WOW this campus is really really BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it 😍 And i love your korean handwritting! So neat ☺️
OMG i'm following your friends immediatly thanks! 😊 Love those events that they do in cafes for birthdays kpop star 😭
The art exhibit look so beautiful! I can't wait to go to Seoul!!!!
Thank you for sharing all of those places and time with you friends!
고마워, 사랑해 💜
Omg the way I freaked out when you said you were going to a Hanse birthday event, I love Victon so much 🥺 and I really enjoy watching your vlogs, thank you for all this lovely content 💕
omggggg Giulia would be so happy to hear that haha she loves them so much haha
You are making your dreams come true and just watching you is so inspirational and reminds me how to have drive and how to let nothing get in your way. Honestly, I am probably twice your age so I thank you for helping me remember how to have passion for life and just go for it. Much respect and best wishes to you.
Ahhh I was a student at KU last year, watching this video is making me miss it there 😭. Hopefully I can go back soon
Omgggg I know the feeling~ I studied at SCH as an exchange student in 2016 and anytime I saw content of SCH I got sad because I wanted to go back to bad~
I'm so happie for you!!!!
Just love the korean vlog video 💜💫💞
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! There are more to come~
배경음악 선곡도 좋고 보고 있으면 즐겁고 행복해지는듯하여 좋아요..😇👍👍💯💚💗💙💜
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences 💜 This makes me so excited to apply for language school and to return to Seoul next year in the Spring! 💜
Oooooo the spring will be soooo pretty~!
Ok I’m already excited for the Jimin birthday vlog
AHAHAHA That's gunna be filmed in a few days 😂
I enjoyed this video too. Thank you for another fun day with ya’all. I was in class when I received your upload notification. I couldn’t wait to watch it. Congratulations! I admire your study habits.
Awww thank you for watching/ having notifications on 💕 more vlogs coming soon~
Wow I’ve been following Giulia for soooo long, way before I even came across your channel, so it’s kinda surreal to see you girls hanging out but it makes me super duper happy 💜 I was feeling really down and hopeless today but your blog gave me energy and inspiration back thank youuu 💖✨
Omggg haha yesss we've been internet friends for at least 2 years now so it's crazy that we ended up in Korea at the same time and are able to hang out~ I'm happy to hear that I was able to brighten your day even if it was just a little~ 💕
💃🏻🙋🏻♀️💜
@@morethanyoora 😲✨
I love seeing you and your journey!
I’m a sophomore and I really wanna study abroad but I’ve decided to put it off till college 😔
I’m so looking forward to it!!!
As someone who also wanted to study abroad in high school, I think studying abroad in college is better because you will be better prepared to move abroad and handle situations on your own than you would be as a high schooler~ Don't be too sad~ Your time will come~ Consider the next few years as time to prepare finances for your study abroad and further study Korean (if you're currently studying Korean)~
I HAD SO MUCH FUNNNN 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Giulia is so cuteeeee 😂💜
Hehe me too~~ her reactions were all so genuine~ 😂
I love Namsan tower too! It's so pretty if you drive along the Namsan circular road. I used to drive along the road once a month for my recording work and every time I drove, the sceneries were different depending on the season!
2:19 That's the Central Library. I graduated from Korea Univ back in 1992.
I LOVED IT AND I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! thankyouu for putting the time into this video ❤
Glad you liked it!! 🥺💕
I didn't want this to end 😂😂 so much fun. I love your friends! Thanks for sharing (:
Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely more videos to come haha
Can you do a video where you just speak Korean for 24 hours? Btw love ur channel it gives me so much inspiration 💜💜
Awwwwwwwww looks like so much fun. I’m so looking forward to visiting South Korea even more now. That in door lantern place looked SO beautiful 🤩😩. Ugh the anticipation to travel is overwhelming at this point 😂😮💨.
debating between here or sogang for korean classes, but dang KU has the prettiest campus and it's so tempting to pick it just for that lol
Ooooo I've heard Sogang has a good program~ Definitely think carefully haha
힘들고 어려워도 잘 이겨내시길 바랍니다…화이팅👍👍
I absolutely loved this video; so happy for you all. By the way, your Korean hand-writing is very nice.
Awww thank you haha it's come a long way~ Also!!! Glad you enjoyed the video hehe
One of my best days in Korea so far 🥺 thanks for being such great friendz 알라뷰 쏘 머치💜 💞💃🏻
ahahahaahahha broooooo
여러분들이 이해하기 어렵겠지만 한국인들은 진정으로 친한 친구는 가족이라 생각합니다.
내가 힘들때 나에게 피해가 있어도 내곁에 있어주고 모든걸 같이 한다는 의미입니다.
인생에 그런 사람을 한국서 만드세여.
누군가 항상 내옆에서 내편이 되어주고 있어 준다는거 따뜻하고 멋지지 않나여?
물론 친구가 잘못하면 누구보다 비난하고 대화하겠죠.
I always look forward to your videos and always enjoy watching them. Your videos have helped keep me motivated when I’ve felt down in my own studies. I’m learning Korean myself, it’s a bit of a struggle as I’m a slow learner but I’m determined & I will get there, but I’m enjoying it. Sadly due to current circumstances I’m not able to go right now but I hope one day I will actually be able to visit South Korea and put what I’ve learnt to use.
Really happy for you though and wish you all the best in your studies & endeavors❤️
오래 전 고대를 졸업한 선배로서 고대에 온 걸 진심으로 환영합니다. 오랜만에 영상을 통해 교정을 보니 반가우면서도 세월의 무상함을 느끼게 되네요. 아무쪼록 고대에서의 생활이 좋은 추억으로 남길 바랄게요^^
I love these videos :) Thanks for taking us along with you!
Thank you for sharing! I could watch your videos ALL day! Your love and passion for Korea is infectious 🤗
Awwwwww that's so nice to hear!! I hope you can learn more about Korea and Korean through my videos~!
반갑네요 고려대 근처에 살고 합정역쪽이 직장인데 이런 우연이 있나요 ㅋ 맑은 날씨에 밝은 친구들과 맛난 음식 먹구 잼나게 노는 모습 보기 좋네요♡
i love watching your vlogs it really inspires me to go to south korea someday...hopefully🤞🏻
I also like all the songs that you used on this vlogಥ_ಥ
hello Natalia! Could you make a video about a review of your Korean language program at KU, like about the workload and teachers? I’m planning to attend next year xx 💕💕
I'm hoping to!! There's just so much content I'm trying to put out right now that it keeps ending up on the back burner 😭😭😭😭
Wohoo✨✨ Everyone she is living my dream oh wait she is living my goal✨✌️
ooooooo yes call it a goal~~
Go, girl. I envy your challenging mind, life enjoying attitude.
love your video so much! Watching this makes me want to visit Korea now
Please do~!! There are so many great places to visit here within Seoul and even more outside of Seoul~!
요새는 캠퍼스에 사람이 적으니까 더 평화롭기도 하고 보는맛이 있네요!
The campus buildings were famous for castle like already when it was 30 years ago.
You seem to have had a lot of fun in Korea. Your dorm room reminds me of my student accommodation in the UK! Wish I were a student again
Me: *rewatching Natalia’s Korea vlogs instead of studying even though I’m meeting my tutor soon*
😌😌
Aww new vid ty. I’m happy that ur in Korea, Love u and ur content
More to come! hehe And I'm glad you like the content 🥺
@@NataliaGarza awww I dont like it I LOVE IT.
The campus looks so nice! Question for those of you have attended KLC, how old is too old to attend the language program? Like are there older students attending. I´m 29 but I really want to go to Korea on a language program. But not if I´m the only old person 👵
Hello! I’m 21, and honestly. I don’t think there’s much of an age limit, I’ve been checking a lot of them because i might not be able to go to Korea or Japan immediately for this year and I can’t find anything about certain age limits
@@Jn-Fit true, I’m 24 and I’m planning on going for a language program starting spring 2023.
I am studying French but let's learn a Korean together... ❤
Oh an learning french too...
can you post about the tuition fee and dormitory fees too? planning to go study there next year
I loved this vlog so freaking much!! 💓💓💯
Glad you liked it!!
I love your videos your so nice I'm trying to learn korean I know the basics and the grammer for me is hard when I get down your happiness makes me happy and ,makes me keep going
WOOOOW I'M SOO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO
I hope you liked it~!
@@NataliaGarza YEEAHH OBVIOUSLY
You are studying at a good university Korea University is one of the top 3 prestigious universities in seoul along with Yonsei and Seoul National University.
Love all the Korea content!!!!
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it~!
열심히 공부하셔서, 한국어 유튜브 되시길!!!
아자!! 힘 내세요. 그리고 즐거운 한국 유학생활 되시기를...😄
omg natalia are you coming back to the us for the bts concert?!
I love your vlogs so much. i can't wait to be able to visit seoul one day hopefully sooner than later 💜
22:02 우와!!! 대박!! 이런게 있는지 몰랐어요!!!
I’m a KIIP student right now and my classes are also all online. Tbh I’m sooo sick of online classes. It’s so much harder to focus IMO. It doesn’t help that all the material is on culture and society (for level 5) which tends to be a little boring (the content is stuff like insurance and welfare…important but not fun haha) so I get distracted soooo easily 😭
Ahhhh yes~~ I wish my classes were in-person too~ I like that I can wear super comfy clothes and lay in bed during break time, but I still want 대면 classes~
Did you ever end up taking the TOPIK test? I’m gonna take it next weekend I’m a little nervous but I know that I psych my self out of stuff a lot. My tutor said I could probably get a 5 on it so I’m trying to trust myself and my skills that I have.
Ok but the 10:50 looks hot. Your hair color, eye make-up, and coat are a trifecta of goodness. A few vids ago you read emails in all your boogery realness. Loved that shit. Lol. Congrats on the PR posish. I'm prepping for Busan in Feb '22 and finding your vids very comforting. Like soup and a blanket. I can't wait to leave Texas. But I'm nervous about Korea becoming my entire world. K, gonna go study Korean ttyl.
Welcome to Korea University ! We rules ~ : )
대한민국에서 행복하게 보내세요 응원합니다😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
Hi. Just wondering if KLC offers dormitory accomodation for language students (for the students that take the 10 week program). Thank you
Yes they do~ but only for your first semester and it’s not guaranteed you’ll get a dorm~ it’s first come, first serve
A bit everyday is perfect🍀
Glad you liked it~
Awesome video Natalia! I hope you are loving your time in Korea!
Anyways on a side note I know that you said you started learning Chinese first. I was just wondering if you felt that learning Chinese first made learning Korean a lot harder? since you are mixing up grammar structures, vocabulary, pronunciation, etc. I wanted to start off learning Korean but my school doesn’t offer it😔 btw. I’m currently attending Texas A&M! I can’t believe you came to school here such a small world🙈
I think learning chinese first would be fine. In my opinion chinese is the hardest of the two and after all there are chinese characters used in korean. At one point in uni I was learning korean and Russian and at the same time remembering Spanish and it can get confusing but I think it’s good practice that helps you realize that translating in your head isn’t the best way and it forces you to really change the way you are thinking.
Unnie please tell how to convince strict parents to go to korea🙏🙏
Answered in one of my oder videos~ I'm not too sure where in the video I answered this tho~ 😬😬
how i studied & interned in korea // why i chose SCH + application process & cost (scholarships?)

I love watching your vlogs! They inspire me so much and are relaxing to watch. Also, does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 4:26?
I'm glad you're enjoying them!! 💕
You Set My World On Fire by Adelyn Paik
I really like how your hair change in every vlog and it all look so nice.. You look so good.. I am your recent subscriber and I love all your videos dat i've watched so far.. Keep safe always Natalia.. More videos to share😘
Ahhh haha yesss The purple keeps fading and now I'm basically blonde haha
Also~ I'm glad you're enjoying the videos~!! Definitely more to come~!
You glowed up girl!!
Why did you end up choosing KU? Do you like the way they teach? And congratulations on getting there!
영어자막 있어서 좋네요! 저는 나탈리아 영상보면서 영어 공부하고 있어요ㅎㅎ
Minute 20:42 there is this part of the sentence "낭의하 (and then there is this "snake" thing what is that, how do you read it. I am currently learning Korean and I am a babz when it comes to this language.
So I try to get as much info as I can, and I am asking because I have seen this "snake letter" very often.
Im so happy,i found your channel
I went to KU's KLC was really good! Who are your teachers? I had 양안나, and 최명선 선생님
제 모교를 소개해 주셔서 고마워요. 고려대학교는 정말 한국에서 유명한 대학 입니다.
I completed my MBA there and got DBA in US. Now, I am here to teach.
와우~ 한글 이쁘게 쓰시네 : )
글씨 귀여워요ㅎㅎ 한국에서 좋은 일들만 있길 바래요^^
Loved this vlog!!
Glad you liked it!! 🤍🤍
Also Now watch me finish level 7 just by the energy I'm getting from you ;)
응원 할게요..🤗🤗🤗
한국에서 좋은 시간 많이 보내세요~
I love watching your videos 💜
Awww thank you 💕
I love your hair!
I’ve been waiting!
저보다 한글을 예쁘게 쓰시네요. 한국생활 건강하고 재미있게 보내세요..
I can’t make up my mind which university should I choose for my language program 😭 (Korea university or Yonsei university)
한국에서 항상 좋은일만 있길 바랩니다
Andri is so cuuute >.<
I mean you all are very cute too jajaj, I think a septum piercing would look so good on Andris nose btw. I have one and I recomend!
Ahahaha I shared your comment with her and she said she's scared of piercings haha
@@NataliaGarza aww jajaja, yeah they're kinda scary but tbh septum piercing hurts less than earlobe piercings imo.. the initial pinch is scary but not too bad! I recommend 🤠👍🏼
What was that song that was playing while she was at Starbucks??? Female singer???? What was it help me please.
I'm still in my early years of high school and I live in a small town in Oklahoma and I have this big big dream to move to Korea and learn Korean and basically do what you are doing but I have little to no motivation and I struggle a lot already in the school work I have and I've had this thought that I cant do much because I have adhd and all that lovely stuff and so I don't know what I should do because I'm still really young and I might even change my mind about what i want to do in my life in a year or maybe five years SO if someone is reading this and they have any tips please let me know what you think I should do I'm thinking about trying to learn Korean right now because I've always wanted to learn another language.
Maybe look up some YT channels which teach you Korean for beginners (e.g. Talk to me in Korean - they have good & short vids about the language & they sell books & ship them world wide)
Omg I cracked up when you found the BTS dance class and had to say REFOCUS 😂😂
ahahahahahah it wasn't BTS' day hahah we were on a mission! 😂
