I Came Here Knowing Zero Korean | K Explorer Jerry from Nigeria 

Thanks for having me on ttmik

Love this guy - his street interviews are always interesting and respectful. Also he has amazing fashion sense wah

yay!! finally he's the one being interviewed, i was always curious about his story lol

So last October I came to Seoul for the first time in my life. I’m travelling on the subway and imagine who gets on the train? Jerry. And sits right in front of me with a tripod in his hands 😅 I couldn’t believe my eyes and could hardly keep from laughing at the chance of this happening 😊

I really love watching his street interviews. It's really nice to know his from Nigeria. This is giving me even more motivation to learn Korean more.

Damn, this crossover is much better than Marvel's doing now

Wow!! I love the content from both Talk to Me in Korean and K Explorer!! Such a great and interesting interview!! Thank you!

Jerry is Nigerian? Been following K-explorer for some time and never knew this😮

Thank you for this video. As a Nigerian who recently came to Korea on a scholarship, I was always curious about his story. It's really motivating.

I thought his from Ghana, i love you more now knowing you're from my country 😂😂❤❤❤❤

K-Explorer is NIGERIAN???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Wow it motivated me a lot. Btw I'm first ❤ 저도 한국에 가고 싶어서 한국어를 배우고 있습니다.역시 2022부터 공부를 시작했어요. (Excuse my bad Korean)

I really enjoy his RU-vid channel. It's fun to see him getting interviewed instead.

I was so curious about him until now thank u for inviting him ❤

SO cool seeing Jerry and TTMIK at the same time!! - I love both these channels! Fun to see Jerry being the one who's being interviewed. 감사합니다

This was a great interview. I am just now learning Korean. I’ve watched Kdramas and listened to the music for over ten years but just didn’t think it was realistic to try to learn. This year something sparked in me to try. My current issue is I feel like I often only hear the endings of words 😭.

Quite impressed with kexplorer1! He speaks with such ease👏🏾👏🏾

굉장한 비디오!! 제가 제일 좋아하는 유튜버 두 분!! 감사합니다 😃😃😃

so interesting!! After visiting Seoul for the first time, i asked myself if i could see myself living in South Korea. I wasnt confident and knew there would be challenges because i wasnt used to living in a homogenous country. After all, i come from a multi cultural country! I thought that's a similar observation to what Jerry said!

Jerry feels like a really nice and chill person. I think it's really interesting his point about coming from multiracial vs monoracial countries and I didn't think about it before too. Many people from multiracial countries have some hang-ups or things they notice when they come to Korea that feels harder to accept or get used to. There is some level of subconscious overthinking. For him, it is just normal and understandable :) appreciate that perspective!

I’ve been waiting so long to hear this guys backstory 😂

I love how you guys are switching up things.❤❤❤

What I appreciate most about this interview is how it counters the often negative perspectives shared by many foreigners living in Korea. Despite their complaints, these individuals continue to reside in South Korea without plans to leave anytime soon. It's natural that everyone's experience differs, but the amount of negativity has been excessive, especially when actions don't match words. I love how Jerry highlighted the positive aspects of living in Korea, which can help balance or even overshadow the negatives. Thank you both for such an interesting interview!! And insisting on Jerry's marketingㅋㅋ TTMIK is great guide for beginners to pull the basis of the language, it was and still a great resource for me. Good luck!

Love his videos, it’s really nice and interesting.

I can’t wait to learn and start speaking 😊😊😊😊

이 사람이 영상을 유튜브로 봤어요. 니제리아에서 웠는지 몰랐어요. 흥미 있는~

This was so enjoyable and informative. Jerry has a voice smooth like butter.😊

오 이분 넘 멋지더라고요! 스타일도 좋으시고~ 멋짐!

Great Interview! It was really interesting to learn about Jerry's journey in South Korea. I'd like to point out a possible mistake in the english translation, though. Nigeria is a multicultural country with 300+ ethnic groups, each having distinct languages, cultures, and history. Perhaps Jerry meant to highlight a similarity between both countries by mentioning the singularity of their racial groups. Although Nigeria is a home to predominantly black people, it is not a homogeneous country.

Loved this interview! I enjoy KExplorer content and I was eager to know about how he learned Korean!

Jerry is the best ❤

LOVED this! I have been watching your interviews and I was curious about you. The pizza thing is hilarious.

Am now coming to Korea be4 i age😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nxt year pray for me i pass by this gks i come 😂😂😂😂

안녕하세요 여러분. 내 이름은 순니야. 난 나이지리에서 와습니다. 여러분 반갑습니다😊.

I'd like to see some interviews with people who learned Korean but weren't able to move to Korea because they don't have the funds or ability too. Don't get me wrong it's great to see such success but not all of us have the degrees or funds at the moment to just move to Korea to make it easier to learn.

I love watching Jerry’s interviews. He always has good interviews and topics.

He really wants you to watch that drama 😂. That was funny

Thank you for having Jerry on your channel. I really enjoy his interviews.

I knew his English sounds Nigeria, I always know he looks Nigeria 😊

Awesome collab! Learning a lot from both your channels 🙂

Jerry is not wrong in Nigeria some places pizzas are the equivalent to $23 for one

Woah! I didn't know he was Nigerian?

Great video! It was great to hear Jerry tell his story. I have watched his videos for some time now. Thank you TTMIK for doing these interview videos💖✨.They always motivate me to study harder💪.

이런 종류의 인터뷰를 시청하는 걸 좋아해요!! 진짜 꿀잼이었네요! 고생 많으셨습니다 티티믹 팀!! 진짜 존경합니다!!! 한 일은 대단한 일입니다!! 진짜 자랑스러워요!!!

Jerry is awesome I tought he was American

@4:00 I've done that!! You just said the word 문법 and then 5 seconds later, you brain fart the word. How do you say "grammar"? 😅

Being able to understand the "gist" of what someone is saying even if you don't hear/understand every word shows a high level I think. I don't think I've understood what someone was saying or the gist of what I was reading to where I could guess the meaning of words I didn't know in Korean yet. But in other easier languages I can do it. It's definitely easier said than done.

The fact that he still don't speak Korean 100% even though he been there for a while for some reason relief me, i was studying korean for one year and a half and im stuck in B1 level, he undirectely make me feel like its ok to not know everything but you have to keep trying

I don't think it matters what kind of country you come from, monocultural or multicultural. I think it matters how you think, how well you can empathise with other people, how well you can learn to understand other people as a priority to your own thoughts and feelings. I come from a very multicultural country, Australia. I grew up in country Australia and I live in country Korea. And there's good reason to believe that country Korea is much more difficult to fit into than city Korea - like country people in Australia, country people in Korea are more suspicious, more wary. Whereas cities are full of different types of people, so that it's almost guaranteed that there are people you fit in more with. Country people are more difficult. They see fewer people and fewer types of people - Australia too. And I had no problem whatsoever fitting into Korea. In fact I've been told more than once that I seem to have an natural adaptation to Korea. It's attitude and how well you accept difference. When I came here, I didn't really see culture shock at all. Honestly, the things that most surprised me were how much similarity there was in so many ways. Korean people are just people, like in every other country. They have feelings and points of view and similarities and uniquenesses, just like everyone else. It's not what kind of country you come from. It's your attitude to seeing new things and new people that underpins how well you fit in in Korea, and I suspect, any other country. I might add that I really like K Explorer. 🙂

What a cool guy

Great interview. I always wondered how Jerry learned to speak Hungal so well. Thanks

I wish there was a something like this for Japanese. TTMIK is the best. TTMIJ would be cool too

YOO I LOVE THIS GUY

🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

This was a really fun and interesting interview! It makes me even more excited to go to Korea sometime in the near future. I will keep studying hard with TTMIK in the meantime tho :)

Eu gostei muito dessa entrevista. Jerry, uma pessoa agradável e calma e educada. Obrigada! 👏🏼

안녕하세요, Jerry와 ttmik, 저는 Praise Eze이고 여러분의 콘텐츠가 한국어를 배우게 된 계기가 되었습니다.

안녕하세요 Nigerians 😊. Any Nigerian in the house 😉

이사람 인터뷰를 굉장히 교묘하게 한국인을 모욕하는 방식으로 진행합니다…불만이 있으면 자기 나라로 가지 왜 한국에서 그러는지 이해가 안되네요
