    It amazes me that someone can become so fluent in 3 years but when you're total immersed in a language it probably is much easier to do.

    • @RosaDaniello
      @RosaDaniello ปีที่แล้ว +40

      It actually takes around 1year to become fluent if you learn the language with a school program and live in the place. The key is actually being a language student as well which is exactly what the girl in the video did and it shows. It's still hard tho but you make progress quickly so it feels rewarding

      Yea it really helps if you’re actually in the country and enroll in a school program so you can put a lot of time in learning Korean while being surrounded by the Korean words and speakers in your city. I’m learning Korean on my own at my own pace while also managing school so since I can’t put my full focus on Korean, it will take me a few years. I don’t mind though, no rush.

      :p Though, I don't like how much surgery and makeup is pushed in South Korea. Also, I've read you cannot walk while you eat or drink. That's such a tyrannical view.
      I would think if people don't like people to naturally eat while they walk, to not look that way and mind their own business. Just like Japan has that problem, which stemmed from WW2 and food scarcity.
      Furthermore, if you turn down a drink, they say to say it's against your religion or something other than alcohol is bad for you. I don't have a religion, thankfully, and I rather say alcohol (alKILLhol) is horrible for you. South Korea does rank as one of the worst nations for alcoholism too, according to my research.
      In addition, the delivery drivers are extremely abused in South Korea by their companies and government. Plus, many follow debunked Christianity there.
      While I love South Korean ladies, ramen noodles (founded in South Korea), loads of vegan dishes, Korean shows and movies, and some other things, South Korea does have a handful of downsides (like any nation). Those downsides probably aren't in North Korea.
      So, there might be some better things about North Korea than South Korea. I personally choose South Korea. North Korea is arguably the worst country.

It is nit racism or discrimination, they just don't like to mix with others. And this is Asian in general. In France or in the Us, korean, vietnamese, chinese... they won't hire a black, an Indian or a white. You only see them working with asians. Americans and French can be RACISTS yes, but they will hire you and tell you if you do your job, no problem...

    I have lived and worked in South Korea for a year and a half as a contractor for the US Military. Maybe it's because the towns I work in are near a base and Seoul is a very modern city but I don't seem to have the problem of people staring because they are so used to foreigners. As far as learning the language my Korean is still mediocre but I can read the alphabet and know enough to get by and whatever I don't know I use Papago for translating. 9 times out of 10 Korean people are very understanding and a lot of them do understand some English with a great number also being pretty fluent. All the road signs are written in Hangeul as well as English. The subway also has the stops written in Hangeul and English and the announcement for the stop is first said in Korean and then in English so navigation has been super easy especially with NaverMaps. When I go out Koreans will often come up to me and ask me where I'm from and then will proceed to invite me to come to party with them. Overall I have found it to be a very friendly and accepting place and if I ever get bored I can go onto any of the US Military bases in the country and it's like being back in America. My situation is different as I am under SOFA status and do not have to worry about VISA renewals and am not limited to how long I can stay in country.

      Well doi dude. If your in military and in Soeul that is the best it will be for a foreigner. If you actually work in a korean company then you will get treated like shit. Sometime, other workers won't even talk to you because you are considered lesser than. Anyone who wprks for an American company with American managers etc will of course see no issues.
      Usually meeting random young people on the street is all fine and normal, but older people are rediculously racist and horrible. Also culture is really bad in Korea in terms of mental health and working. That is why everyone drinks, because they all hate their life. It is very hierarchical. The one good thing about Korea was night life and public transportation. The young people are awesome.

They criticize Americans as racist but I think they are much more racist. They grew up in a very closed society and were poorly educated. Worst of all, they don’t know how to learn. They will just teach the garbage to all people. By education, I don’t mean what college they went to. Rather, they grew up in a brain washing dictatorship country so don’t even know how to communicate. Sadly, that’s most of Koreans. Much better in Seoul but still.

They’re the sweetest couple. He doesn’t know Russian and she doesn’t know Korean, but they both know English, so that’s how they communicate. Lol I’m sure she gets by without knowing Korean, especially being married to a Korean. And they just recently had a baby girl.

People seem to not understand that holding ideologically liberal views does not mean that person will act liberally. These are two different things.

      And what happens in Korea seems to come back to punish Korean Americans, who institutionally cannot even participate in this discrimination that Koreans in their home country are accused of. I find this double whammy so ironic.

      I answered in another thread, but where do you live? The US is a big country. Per each individual Korean-American, one's experience can differ drastically depending on where they grew up and where they reside. For a Korean-American, I have a fairly unusual background and broad ranging geographical experience. I've had a chance to experience and observe the character of life in the US as a Korean and Asian American and there are places where we are a part of the fabric of society and parts of the US where we simply are not and probably will never be.
      Witness the 2021 Atlanta shootings and the immediate sympathy for, empathy and identification with the shooter than the police chief had for the shooter, not the victims of the shootings. To that police chief, those were some foreigners, others, outsiders, people with lives of lesser value that the shooter killed, not mothers, daughters, sisters of members of the community just like himself. That right there is signal. If you are Korean, you are not really a member of the community. You don't really belong in Atlanta.
      On a very consistent basis, signals are sent to you, low level signals. Listen to them. Go to some place you are welcome. LA SF SEA DC NYC

      ​@@ryhk3293 I don't know why you assume I don't understand how America works. I grew up in mixed suburbs and white suburbs outside of NYC. I was not welcomed there. I have lived in NYC for the past 10 years and have dealt with the worst discrimination, counterintuitive to what people would expect here. We're not suddenly welcomed in NYC because it is diverse. NYC is actually extremely segregated. Diversity brings about more racial tension and I am treated more like a foreigner here than in the suburbs. In the suburbs actually, the discrimination is not so extreme because there are few people of color so racial tensions are lower. In NYC, there are droves of ignorant people who would not hesitate to shout "ni hao" or ask me where I am from. I have been harassed multiple times by white women while jogging in Central Park. I've been shouted at, called "Yoko Ono," women have grabbed my hair, I've been sexually harassed, shouted at by a homeless man of color accusing me of staring at a subway poster of a white man, etc. It's pretty much endless and sometimes bizarre. During the Asian attacks, Chinatown was hit so hard, not only because of the sheer number of Asians, but because predators knew they could find Asians there. I felt less safe walking in Asian neighborhoods where predators knew they could find me than in non-Asian neighborhoods. You say that to feel at home, I should try living in an Asian enclave. Well Asian enclaves are mostly made up of new Chinese immigrants who strongly identify with their Chinese roots. I personally would love to experience living in an Asian neighborhood and I love places like Chinatown, but it is not necessarily convenient, realistic, nor will it help me feel like I'm part of the fabric of society. You see, it is ironic to tell an Asian that in order to fit in in the US, you must live in an Asian enclave. That is essentially saying, right now, there is no place in the mainstream US for an Asian to belong. The only thing living in an Asian neighborhood will ensure me is I will physically blend in. That in itself would be a wonderful luxury, but as I said, not a realistic option for me now.

So, in the past, there were many clubs that blocked foreigners from entering. But now things are getting better.

    Someone commented this in Korean and I wanted to share in English so more people can read
    When koreans go to other countries we don't expect people to speak korean to us. It should be that people who visit other countries study their languages and always try using them. Even though some foreigners don't speak Korean to us when they visit Korea, we are mostly nice about it trying to use English or sometimes even body language to them.
    I don't think people visiting Korea should ask too much coming to Korea. If you come to Korea because you want to, you need to follow and respect the rules, ways of living, and cultures. We don't just discriminate you or accept as a member of our society for no reason. It's actually you who refuse to live as a korean here because you're a foreigner and you want to live the way you have always lived.
    You want to get all the benefits from living in Korea but you don't want to accept the cultures and rules you don't like.
    When we go somewhere else we appreciate extra if somebody speaks Korean to us, we never take that for granted. We always try to show them we respect and want to learn their cultures and they accept us over time.
    The tolerance of discrimination of people who have never been discriminated is different from the one of people who have been discriminated. The discrimation that korean people experience is way worse than the one foreigners experience when they visit Korea.
    There's no country where there's no discrimination. It's wrong to discriminate. But if you can't tell the difference the curiosity and violent discrimination, you should just live in your country where you have never been discriminated.

      Oh, please. You think Korean culture is so special that a foreigner cannot learn the basics of Korean society in three years? It's not that fucking complicated. Most of these things Koreans think are uniquely and universally Korean are a product of a limited Korean cultural horizon. They're not unique and they're not universal. Half these things, the Japanese think the same about themselves.
      Maybe she comes across as a little arrogant, but what she's saying, that she is fluent enough in language and society to be able to participate in society, is probably fair. Most Korean young adults don't really understand Korean society until university, which is the first opportunity that they have to being actually participating in society at a semi-adult level. Before then, what can a Korean high school student be said to understand about Korean society?

Discrimination happens everywhere and it seems here that the conversation points that South Korea is closed mind but that is not the case at all. Yes, I speak Korean but try to learn a few phrases before you go to Korea so that the locals know how to help you. South Korean people are some of the friendliest people I have ever have met and always open to meals or conversations. Japan is the same way. While there I met a few foreigners who were quite disrespectful and I put them in there place. No disrespect will be tolerated in any country.

I'm 45 now and there are parts of the US that I have told other Asian Americans that if they have a choice and so choose to move their families there to further their careers, it is borderline child abuse and that every bullshit insult, microaggression and exclusion that their child eats and never tells them but becomes a permanent scar on their psyche is on them. The older I get, the more I realize that I was never really a part of the fabric of society in the southern US, that I as much as I thought my father's career of service in the US Army bought me entry into being a validated American that couldn't be excluded, I wasn't included, either.
      I remember a little over ten years ago, when I was an active duty officer in the US Army, making a road trip from Dallas to Austin with my cousin, an active duty Marine. Pulled off I-35 to get some breakfast at a diner. Left about maybe half hour or forty minute later, still hungry. It was evident that we weren't going to get served. Plenty of people who came in after us were getting waited on, just not us. I was incognito and don't like to advertise. (I'm an officer and, you know, got some class ;) My cousin OTOH, jarhead being a jarhead, was actually wearing a Marine shirt. Did it matter that we were serving members of the military in a part of the country that venerates its servicemembers IN A TIME OF WAR? Nope.
      OTOH, I genuinely feel comfortable here in Seattle. Asians have been here and in great number for a long time. There are Asian majority neighborhoods and there are elementary and middle schools named after Asian people. My USPS letter carrier is an Asian guy. There are Asian homeless people and Asian drug dealers and Asian cops. In the seven years I've lived here, I have never been asked, "Where are you from?" Actually, that's not true.

      First of all, there are many people in South Korea hating on Koreans who were born abroad (especially in developed countries), thinking they’ve dodged the mandatory military service deliberately if you’re a man. And if you’re a woman, they’re just really jealous of you (Koreans compare themselves with the others A LOT). So I was bullied at work in South Korea just for that reason. They even have a derogatory name for foreign-born Koreans called ‘검머외 (dark haired foreigner)’. It’s a tragically competitive society so that contributes even more.

    한국에서 살아가는 외국분들의 솔직한 생각을 들을 수 있어서 좋았습니다.
    다만, 저도 외국생활을 해보았고 한국을 방문하는 친구들과 이런 주제로 대화를 한적이 있어서 제 생각을 적어보자면,
    한국인이 타국가로 갈때 그들이 한국어로 말해줄거라 전혀 예상하지 않죠. 방문하는 사람이 방문하는 현지의 언어를 공부하고 최대한 그 나라 언어로 대화하려고 시도하지요. 그런점에서 보면 한국은 외국인에게 매우 호의적이고 친절한 나라입니다. 안되는 영어로라도 아니면 바디랭귀지로라도 대답해주려고 하니까요.
    외국인들이 현지인에게 상식적인 수준이상의 어떤 권리를 요구하지 않았으면 합니다. 다른 사회에 본인들이 좋아서 왔으면, 그 나라의 법과 사람들의 생활방식, 문화를 존중하고 따라야 합니다. 그리고 이유없이 외국인이라고 차별하거나 사회구성원으로 받아들이지 않는것이 아닙니다. 외국인이 스스로 외국인이라고 한국사회에서 한국인처럼 살길 거부하기 때문이죠. 온갖 혜택은 누리고 싶고, 자기 입맛에 맞지않는 문화적 차이는 모두 거부하니 말이죠.
    제가 유럽에서 생활할때도 누군가가 한국말로 얘기해주면 고마울따름이지 당연하다고 생각했던적이 한번도 없습니다. 그런만큼 나도 현지인들에게 한발짝 더 다가가려고 더욱 그들의 문화를 존중하고 배우려는 의지를 보여줬어요. 그렇게 하다보면 그런 마음을 이해해주는 친구가 생깁니다.
    차별받아본적 없는 사람의 차별에 대한 역치는, 어디에서나 차별받던 사람의 역치와는 다를겁니다. 한국인으로서 타국가에서 받는 차별은 한국을 방문하는 외국인들이 받는 차별과는 수준이 다르단걸 인지하셨으면 좋겠습니다. 차별에서 자유로울수 있는 나라는 어디에도 없다는걸. 차별이 잘못된 것은 맞지만 다름에서 오는 호기심과 폭력적인 차별을 구별하지 못하는 사람은 그냥 본인이 나고자란 차별받지 않던 곳에서 쭉 사시면 됩니다.

      When koreans go to other countries we don't expect people to speak korean to us. It should be that people who visit other countries study their languages and always try using them. Even though some foreigners don't speak Korean to us when they visit Korea, we are mostly nice about it trying to use English or sometimes even body language to them.
      I don't think people visiting Korea should ask too much coming to Korea. If you come to Korea because you want to, you need to follow and respect the rules, ways of living, and cultures. We don't just discriminate you or accept as a member of our society for no reason. It's actually you who refuse to live as a korean here because you're a foreigner and you want to live the way you have always lived.
      You want to get all the benefits from living in Korea but you don't want to accept the cultures and rules you don't like.
      When we go somewhere else we appreciate extra if somebody speaks Korean to us, we never take that for granted. We always try to show them we respect and want to learn their cultures and they accept us over time.
      The tolerance of discrimination of people who have never been discriminated is different from the one of people who have been discriminated. The discrimation that korean people experience is way worse than the one foreigners experience when they visit Korea.
      There's no country where there's no discrimination. It's wrong to discriminate. But if you can't tell the difference the curiosity and violent discrimination, you should just live in your country where you have never been discriminated.

    The reasons why some Korean clubs do not allow foreigners are as follows.
    1. American soldier in Korea used violence or committed s.e.x crimes, but they could not be dealt with under Korean law. (Search the 'Itaewon m.u.r.d.e.r case 1997')
    2. And some Chinese and foreign tourists ignored Korean public rules and manners. As a result, there were some negative images of foreigners, especially American soldier, Chinese
    3. Some foreigners acted thinking they were special beings. especially Some foreign men, in particular, acted as privileged as English-speaking foreigners. For example smoked in a non-smoking area. causing problems by teasing female guests, and swearing or using violence against employees who restrained them.
    4. Basically, many korean clubs have rules. There are rules for dress, age restrictions, and even appearance. Even Koreans can't enter this kind of club
    5. As the number of foreigners in Korea increases, foreigners often ignore Korean manners and rules. So some clubs think negatively about foreigners. On the contrary, there are some clubs where only foreigners can enter, and Koreans cannot enter.

In Asia, black and white people are rarely assaulted or ridiculed. On the other hand, what about Asians in the West? Anti-discrimination law? Wouldn't it be the West that's rotten enough to need such a law? In France, you can't even buy a house because your family name is Arab, right? In Korea, whoever you are can sign the contract as soon as you have money. Club? It's not just Korea? Japan, China, the United States, and Europe also have their own rules. In general, discrimination in Asia is a matter of capitalism, while discrimination in the West is more like violence. What's worse? Well..

I am very offended by what that Ukrainian woman said. Don't you know that your country doesn't even give foreigners a chance? I admit that apartment prices in Korea are very expensive and difficult, but I can't agree with what that Ukrainian woman said! If you live in Korea, all you have to do is keep the law and order of Korea, and you just have to live while keeping the administration! Without knowing that their own countries are difficult for foreigners, why does everything in Korea have to change? It's good to look back at your own country first before giving that country's score. This is reciprocity.

    한국회사 식당은 당연히 한식밖에 안되는데, 자기가 한국음식에 맞출생각을 해야지,
    자기혼자만을 위해서 양식을 만들어 달라는게 말이 안되죠.

    앞으로 외국친구라도 한국사회의 일원으로 받아들이고, 한국어를 못하는 외국친구를 위해
    영어를 좀더 배워야 겠다 이렇게 생각햇는데, 곰곰히 생각해보니 말도되지 않는 논리더라고요.
    굳이 외국인을 한국사회가 진정한 일원으로 받아들일 필요가 있나요?
    자기가 전쟁나면 한국을 위해 싸워줄거야? 그것도 아니잖아.
    그냥 외국친구는 친절히 대해주고 좋은인상을 갖게 만들어주면 됩니다.
    또한, 한국에 오면 당연히 한국말을 배워야지, 그걸 불만이라고 말하고 있어??
    한국에 온 외국사람을 위해 그나라 말을 써서 대접해야하는게 더 말이 안되지.
    이런 인터뷰는 걸러서 들어야 됩니다.
    외국인들 그냥 자기입장에서만 말하고, 한국사람의 정서나 입장은 전혀 배려하지 않는거 같음. 나도 미국생활 좀 해봤는데, 나는 미국생활 하면서 그나라 사람들 문화, 언어에 맞출려고
    노력했다고. 절대 국내 외국인 처럼 무리한 불평이나 요구는 하지 않았다.
    그중에서 특히 서구권 , 백인들이 지나치게 무리한 요구를 하고, 불평이 많더라고요.
