@Forrest Robles I want her.

Yeaa also she's so prettyyyyy

Totally agree!

I mean one would expect someone to be invested in helping you if that's what you paid for

Truth. If you only learn at home, you can learn to understand but not to speak, those are two different things.

I would agree. Classroom instruction is just theory crafting and all. But having conversations with people is the best way to learn.

AND listen to music ;) I trained my ear for my Portuguese and way Hebrew by basically spending months listening to only music in each language and occasionally reading the lyrics when I couldn't understand them.. It is unbelievable how quickly you pick up the grammar and the nuanced pronunciation by listening to music and radio.

@@joywalker1608 What is wrong with being a youtuber? Yes he did stay in China for a long time to learn the language. I do not see anything wrong.

Joy Walker What’s your point? I spent 5 1/2 years in Germany and have German relatives who do not speak English. I learned at home. Then, I went out in public and could get what I needed away from family. I could survive in a foreign country. And I’ve been learning other languages because I like to. He’s learning a language others in this country typically don’t. And he’s having fun with it. He speaks several languages. How many do you speak?

That is because studying the grammar and vocabulary of language in a classroom, is not how your brain acquires languages. Leave the grammar for later. The most important is finding a native speaker buddy and just speak it - no/very little english allowed. Mimic his/her pronounciation. A notebook for drawings (to explain words that you don't comprehend otherwise). Get children's picture books that you both read together. Stories are so important - believe me, your brain will comprehend much faster and retain more. On Google Play Store are some great Korean learning apps for small children - you know when Korean kids learn their colours etc.

Plot twist: ready to go to Korea to play StarCraft, which he also had mastered the day before

some people are fast learners and some are not. it's really all about how much effort you put in and actually try and use it with people.

Yup!

Rika Allodola Yes, people that are often very serious about a language go to a household and stay there in “immersion programs” with no English allowed. My white mother did that and is now fluent in Spanish

Reminds me of my mom. Lol

It was like watching a Korean Sour Patch kids commercial, because, first she was 사워 (sour) and then she was 스위트 (sweet)😆😆😆

Guys a genius with languages, after 24 hours study he needs to perfect pronunciation.. I'll take that.. love all these videos.

Absolutely, he’s fantastic and if we were all like him, I’m sure there’d be more happiness in the world

lol okay

Pretty good for only 24hours. Why even mention that?

ElizaLanga because it takes years to learn a new language. He is an exception.

@@frannanderson4165 Is Korean difficult to learn? I really want to learn Korean, I am Chinese

刘伟 it shouldn’t be very hard for you if you’re chinese, but for native english speakers, it’s very hard. the sentence order is different, plus they use things such as particles, that english speakers don’t have in their language. otherwise, it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to learn. i’m not sure if ANY of that made sense lol

@@liuwei0923 I speak both Korean and Chinese (intermediate) and you will maybe find the grammar difficult and particles strange. But there are many loan words and the number system is very similar. Its a fun language to learn

I learned that i can talk to strangers in a foreign language way better than in my native one. As if a new personality is attached to that language (not wildly different though) Happened to english for me. I can talk to strangers in english way better than in german(my native one) Hope that happens again when i learn japanese🤞

@@desotaku5202 this is true

right !? haha

@@TonyStark-sj3kl I am now. I'm a recovering perfectionist. Lol. So my Korean has advanced tremendously in 3 months just because I stopped being scared and have talked and messaged dozens of people, and just done the work every day. But I could probably still be more confident with speaking. Writing/typing is easier.

Thats seriously impressive. Can u give top 3 tips even on the writing? Like the consonants that sound similar?? Im still not sure which fits/when? Lolol gees.

@@TonyStark-sj3kl I have Naver dictionary downloaded so if I don't know, then I can look up the spelling. I know what you mean. Spelling is hard when I only know the word by hearing. Took me months and having to happen catch the word 잠깐만요. I had heard it many times and even knew the meaning, but I tried spelling it a thousand times in dictionary and couldn't find the word. Then I added the language learning for netflix and saw the word in a drama. Lol. Sooooo hard to spell with so many homophones! Lots of exposure to reading and transcripts I think and you start to know how to spell. But I definitely still spend plenty of time double checking in a dictionary.

Boom! K drama! Lol incant stand those!

that made me so happy

Aptly stated.

I strongly agree. I was a spanish major in college but also struggle with social anxiety. I learned to read amd write well but really struggled with speaking in a big classroom because I lacked social courage. After graduating I pushed myself to help customers in Spanish at work and learned more in 1 year than o did on my 7 years of school based Spanish learning!

lol, he studied with a tutor how to say he loves BTS and food is delicious then stumbles and stutters his way through a conversation trying to remember the script he studied. Social? He's on camera filming for RU-vid money. Once someone isn't talking about food or clothes, he gets lost.

Social courage - well said.

@K1 Ki absolutely agree, @K1 Ki. I didn’t quite catch how many languages you speak (or even master), @David - without stumbling, that is… I mean, come on, he had less than 24 hrs. Could you do the same? I doubt it.

Constructive criticism

@@zzey stupidity

@@rubyroseanne6951 learn how to take criticism

Beautiful, isn't it?

Tbh Korea and Japan follow different cultural norms where confrontation and criticism is considered rude so the people from older generations will be polite and respectful to your face but will talk about you behind your back. IDK if this happened here, but back in Korea or Japan this would have definitely happened.

@Rei Ren lmao ig it's kinda true I'm Indian and my close friends will roast tf out of each other. But old gossiping women in cliques will destroy you behind your back while greeting you with smiles. 🐍

@Rei Ren haha it's not really an interesting story but somewhat of a general everyday occurrence. There's always a group of old karen-esque women in the neighbourhood who'll be judging the young girls for their clothes, or the boys for bringing girl friends over. Theres something similar to a Karen meme in India too, where in school your parents will compare your grades to a 'Sharma-ji Ka beta/beti' (Sharma's son. Ji is an honorific like san to show respect) and judge you for being inferior. E.g if sharma-ji's son is peeing, you'll have to poop to prove you're better than him. (I'm sorry someone once gave this example to me and this is the only one I can remember lol) P.s. sorry for the long rant on Indian culture😅

Breeze H I tried learning spanish and whenever I would have to speak with an accent I was embarrassed of what I would sound like to a native speaker. I still am too scared to speak Spanish but I understand quite a bit of what is being said to me 😭 sadly because I’m not speaking It to anyone I’m slowly forgetting it... anyone doing lessons?

@@itsfin3what3v3r I took 5 years of Spanish and cannot speak it either. I do not have a good ear. I learned enough to understand my coworkers in the kitchen (I was a pastry chef for many years) and to help them out if needed. I wish I had put myself out there more and not been embarrassed 😔 I had a great opportunity right at my job and didnt take it.

You also have to find people that won't make fun of you or look down of you for trying and not being able to speak the language. Some people make the effort and try to help you but some others will not bother and be like "huh" "eh" and make hand gestures that they do not understand. I think those are the cases that put people down, I think what makes @xiaomanyc successful is that he tries but also people are able to understand what he is trying to say rather than sounding totally foolish. You can see how he struggled a bit when he was trying to speak "Fuzhounese" and he was somewhat embarrassed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SVlLXDYb7QM.html.

Right? I'm so confused by his difficulty in learning Korean. Not only because he taught himself Mandarin, but also Korean is rooted in Chinese, so it shouldn't be that hard for him. Personally, I think he just doesn't like the language and that's why it's difficult for him.

I'm sure he compensated her well, and also gave her some exposure on his gigantic language-learning focused channel, and also he's pretty personable, she was more than happy to help him in that way then!

The problem for me is, I struggle at studying and have very bad focus. I just don't have the focus, but want to get it right so badly. I've been learning on and off for two years and I still suck. lol I've been going over hangul again and trying to learn by learning that first. I decided to retry, but my self discipline is so low and I just don't have any confidence. Still, I want to learn the language, so I don't want that to stop me.

@@ReptilianTeaDrinker I feel you, it can be difficult when you dont have to focus for studying. But there are many ways to learn a language. I set aside an hour a day to practice and study using materials that suit me personally as a visual learner, eg youtube videos really help. I can recommend good resources for Korean that don't include duolingo lol 😂

I've also been learning on and off for three years now, I do feel that I've made some progress though I definitely could have made more if I worked harder. A lot of times the thought of giving up has crossed my mind, but when I find such videos and comments I think to myself "How could I ever give up on my quest to learn this amazing language!" Yes, Korean is amazing, it just existing makes me happy and I can't wait to be fulfilled as I continue the journey. 절 믿으세요.

@@ReptilianTeaDrinker I am like this as well, and same bot as you but still understand the alphabet. I am 23 and after years of schooling and graduating college, I've come to realize about myself that I am not a good self teacher. There's a reason why they force us to go to school, lol. Discipline is very difficult and not everyone can do it. Discipline is really it's OWN skill. I have ALLLL the tools to succeed except discipline. I have so many textbooks that I got from online, so many resources and things bookmarked, audio lessons, etc. I have the passion to learn Korean...but they all mean nothing without discipline. I was doing well until I moved states back in March. Once I moved, I completely fell off of my learning. So I definitely recommend you do a program or tutoring and ask to be put on a curriculum. As soon as I make some extra money, i will be doing a private tutor on italki or doing a Korean University language course online, much cheaper and better than American schools for learning the language. There are many schools in Korea that offer these online classes. I prefer the private tutor route but either way you need to do something that will force you to learn.

Just started learning, this definitely gave me a boost of confidence.

It is so impressive when someone like him makes the effort to perfect such difficult languages. 👏🏼

La manzana es roja.

ayyye haha its not that difficult, I think she meant difficult to pronounce for someone with zero background in hangeul.

@@hetviptk Don't forget word order, sentence structure, word association ( words can drastically change their meaning based on what/ which other words they are grouped with). Some languages come from a very different mind set. Though I'm surprised that Korean is so different based on the fact that the Korean peninsula was such a major cultural exchange causeway between China and Japan. They should have been heavily by both.

I read that Spanish pronunciation is similar to Korean, so if you speak Spanish it helps when you learn Korean.

Im agree with you but just my two cents, learning sth will never have the term "almost too late" ✌

@@putrialyufanita1741I think what they mean is that it's much harder to pick up languages later on. But you're right, it is never too late !!

@@LordLoldemort7 yesss 😂😊

@@putrialyufanita1741 I NEVER said it can be too late. I mean that it gets harder as you get older. I'm still learning new languages at 42 years old. All I mean is that at a certain point it can be quite difficult if the person lacks motivation, means, access, consistency, and determination. I teach languages, so I know some think it's too late when it really isn't. They just lack the will to learn new languages.

@@LordLoldemort7 Exactly what I meant. And yes it's never too late. I completely agree. I'll keep learning languages until my last breath. 😊

I loved learning Japanese during high school. My love for the language started when I loved watching anime hahaha (classic), but since moving on from anime, I've grown to love the culture, the people, and most importantly the food! I haven't continued with Japanese since graduating, but if I had the opportunity to live in Japan, I would, because that would help me pick up Japanese again. You'll find that (if you're a native Japanese speaker), the pronunciation is pretty simple, like Spanish pronunciation. The only thing that may be difficult is the 'r' and 'fu' sound. Grammar is also very structured, no crazy conjugations like many European languages. Irregular verbs are basically just 'to have' and 'to be'. Highly encourage you to give it a go!

@Biracial Boy it's funny. I'm not sure how everything happened generations ago but I believe I am product of ww2. I'm half Japanese and a quarter German and French.

On the other hand, KoreanClass101 and 90DaysKorean is most helpful with learning phrases and vocabularies. I hope you enjoy studying Korean. Mrs. Oh, 화이팅! ^^

Well not eveyone is good at everything at first, even the people you expect to be good at it first try. The ability to speak the language won't happen overnight and especially in 24hrs - he could for sure master it though

If you are better with ANY foreign language I'd like to see you try..

@@jasperhendrix2943 lmao they didn't mean it offensively. They meant seeing someone so amazing and talented "an idol" struggle just as much as we do, but still trying really hard, hits hard from home. He's human too, he got to where he was bc of hard work, not just luck or born talents

Yes

What is BT21?

@@Sey-KonePopIce BT21 is the name of BTS's merch

That doesnt signify somebody has Korean Background

@@kuzi8440 I know that, I just meant he knows some.

@@Sey-KonePopIce BT21 are the cartoon characters of BTS (kpop group)

I think a lot of us start out that way or atleast that was my reason.

I love their songs even if I can't understand the words to most of them, but knowing a bit of the language takes it to a whole different level. 💜

Same here

Same but after 3 years of korean school

Cuz you have a roblox pfp

@@Thor.867 you made them change their pfp, that's murder bro

@@ssjkaryuusennin fr fr a violation lmao

@@Thor.867 oh damnn YOU'RE so cool bro, calling someone out of their pfp? Daaaamn so cool! Not

Only if you got a talent for languages. I always had the best grades in Spanish and French as a German while I had a very tough time learning maths/physics 🤷‍♂️

No. This guy is particularly good at it.

@@deeanna8448 nah if you spend 100% of your time learning another language youll learn it. I learned spanish against my will in school at 40 minutes every other day bullshitting for 4 years. In reality the amount of learning I did couldve been done in an entire year if I only focused on it. If you dedicate your time you could easily learn a language a year. You could do that instead of college tbh.

Well, yes, it is expected if you have learned to speak another asian language for at least a year. Personally, i'm not impressed or even surprised to be honest. Of course, you will be able to learn the basics of Korean or any other asian language, then. I speak 4 european languages. Greek, english, french and german. I aim to speak 4 asian languages as well in the future. My point is that once you managed to learn an asian language, the rest ones will be easier for you to learn.

It's determination I think. I learned to speak Hindi, Italian, French, and Russian. I would love to learn to speak Korean. Hindi I had to learn because my maternal family is from India. Italian it took me 1 year to learn, French 2 years and Russian 2 years as well. Practice everyday even if you're fluent or else you will forget to speak it. 😊

The loads of measure words 😭

Korean sounds so much faster tho

the only thing that is easy of chinese is the grammar and sentence order

But Chinese grammar is very simple compared than Korean.

@@itshry I think it's because Korean has a wider range of expressions.

Zak Johannes yeah I was surprised asking the age was considered rude. Korean people always fish for my age pretty quickly, ask when I finished school, my Chinese star sign, stuff like that. I always guessed it was so they could work out how to address me.

That was a scary look.

That was an American look, not a Korean one 😂 I had american friends go off on me because I asked their ages or once because I said 'you are shy' to a person a barely knew. In my country we say basically ANYTHING out loud to the point I had a complete stranger asking me if I was fertile because I didn't have kids yet 🙄😅😕

she thought he was flirting
