"Korean is easy" they said "You'll learn it in no time" they said

that moment when she starts to read korean realy fast

Honestly, watching your videos for 2 hours has helped me more than using an app for a month😂 ty so much for putting videos out like this too help other people

The fact that this girl is teaching me a whole new language better than any app or website I’ve been to is amazing. I’m learning so fast and it’s so fun. Thank you!

for the r/l one, say real but with an l in front instead of r. "leal" it shows u were to place ur tongue for it

It's funny because I thought that "yes" in Korean sounded like "dae" and actually I discovered through your classes that it is actually "nae" haha the similarities are so tricky ...

Since we are quorentined and school is canceled I’m learning at least 1 or 2 languages to confuse people lol

I'm an Asian..so I think as an Asian Korean alphabet is the easiest alphabet to learn.. Korean grammar is also pretty similar to my language..but spoken Korean is quite difficult..

I feel like anyone with poor vision, reading Korean is a nightmare🤣

Hi, 빅키샘! This is my first comment on your video. Your voice is so beautiful and sounds really soft to listen to. Thank you for your video, and I look forward to your next video. You are very good at teaching!

★How to learn Korean fast!★ 1. Listen to the pronunciation of Koreans and read the sentences aloud several times. (It's better to read quickly.) 2. Read the 100 Korean words a day. Don't try to memorize them. Just read along. Just refer to the examples. It's important to do 100 each a day. 3. After watching your favorite Korean video (drama), don't look at the screen and just listen to the sound several times. 4. After studying Korean on RU-vid, write comments in Korean. (You have to talk a lot in Korean to improve your Korean language quickly. ^^) *Ask me whenever you need Korean practice!!😀

This is hard but you explained so in depth and so patience. I just have to get to used to it and practice more😭😭 thankyouuu 선생님

*Plays the video* *A BTS ad shows up* Me: ah yes I'm learning korean because of you guys HAHAHHA

The technical term for that "flexible" vowel sound is "dipthong." Americans tend to flex their vowels more than, for example, native England English speakers, especially those who have a higher social class and education level. For an American who studied French (many years ago now!) I had to learn about phonetics and how one can accurately represent the way language is actually spoken, versus how things are spelled. A great example for those who might be new to this concept would be the word "try." The "y" at the end of the word is technically a long "i" sound, but if you listen to yourself say it, the shape of your mouth actually CHANGES while you are pronouncing it. The jaw and tongue move as you voice the vowel! Your mouth actually starts with an "ah" sound and moves to an "ee" sound at the end. If you say it super slowly, you might hear the change! It's kind of fun to learn these things about language. Like French, Korean uses monophthong vowels, meaning that there is no change within each vowel sound made, and the mouth doesn't actually move (especially the tongue and jaw) while the vowel is voiced, so the sound is pure and unadulterated. I know I just geeked out a bit, but I find languages fascinating, and I felt it might help someone even a little bit. I really enjoy your lessons, Miss Vicky! Thank you for your diligent work!

School starts for me in two days and I'm making myself learn Korean even though I should be revising Japanese for class-

pronunciation timestamps for: ㄱ ㅋ ㄲ 11:17 - 11:37 ㄷ ㅌ ㄸ 14:55 ㅂ ㅍ ㅃ 18:00 ㅈㅊ ㅉ 19:05 , 19:50 ㅅ ㅆ 20:38

For native English speakers the difference between consonants c & g, p & b, t & d etc is not aspiration but voice. They form voiceless and voiced pairs, as in pear and bear etc. The difference in aspiration isn't meaningful, that's why we find it difficult to get the difference between the Korean consonants where aspiration is meaningful.

"â (â) , î (î) no English equivalent - it's best to hear it being spoken. â and î are the same sound in Romanian. î is used at the beginning and end of words, and in compound words where one of the words begins with the î sound (i.e. neîndemânatic), and â in all other cases. The best way to approximate this sound is to attempt to make the vowel in "ski," then retract your tongue toward the center of your mouth. " i bet it sounds exactly the same as in korean :D

Thank you for the video, I learned a lot. And your Chinese pronunciation"爸爸" is very standard

at some point in time you should get involved with italki .. more or less, i feel you'll make so many people happy with this gift you have

This is really uplifting. For Germans Korean is really hard to learn, but here I got perfekt explaination and training. Thank you so much Vicky!🥰

I'm having some troubles with distinguishing the sounds tsktsktsk gonna cry at the edge of my bed and then come again to continue learning 😔

If anyone comes strolling, here are letter in Hindi for clear understanding~ ㄲ ,ㅋ ,ㄱ - क, ख, ग ㄸ, ㅌ, ㄷ - त, थ, ध ㅃ, ㅍ, ㅂ - प, फ, भ ㅉ, ㅊ, ㅈ - च, छ, ज ㅅ, ㅆ - श, स ㄴ(न), ㄹ(र), ㅁ(म), ㅇ(अं),ㅎ( ह) ㅡ (अ),ㅣ(ई), 우(उ), 유 (यू), 어(औे), 여(यौ), 아(आ), 야(या), 오(ओ), 요(यो),ㅐ(ऐ), 에(ए) Pronunciation is exactly the same without any changes ✨💜

So helpful!!! These are literally the exact pronunciations I've been struggling on.

Omg she really explains everything so detailed and clearly, thank you so much. I feel my brain hurt but that's probably because I tried to learn everything in one day.😂😂 I got most of it tho...

I really like how detailed this is! I've been struggling with these and it's so nice of you to actually explain it in-depth and put emphasis on the position of the tongue and whatnot! Thank you!

I thought speaking Spanish is gonna make this WAY more easy,and I’ve got the feeling I’m right 😅

I just learned how to read and write in Korean after watching this video and the previous one. It's unbelievably crazy. 진짜 고마워

Thank you for the clear details on Korean pronunciation. I've subbed. I have been learning from paid programs and free programs, but your teaching is superior. Thank you.

Extremely helpful! I've been struggling with wrapping my head around this even while watching some other videos but this explained everything really clearly. Thank you!

I always get scared of pronouncing things wrong when I read Korean or try writing it out and saying it, but this helps me be more confident in how I say things ^^ thank you

The hardest part for me was definitely the sentence practice. I'll keep rewinding.

I love that you don't have bgm ,all i can hear is your voice, I can easily focus on studying., 😄

Thank you so much for making these videos!!! I’ve been watching a bunch during this quarantine. I’ve been meaning to learn Korean for years but have never followed through until now. Thanks again for taking the time to make these!!

This is seriously the most helpful pronunciation video I've seen! Thank you so much!

i was really waiting for your pronunciation guide bc you teach more clearly and i could easily understand it! thank you so much

Exactly the subtle details I am looking for! Very useful and practical! Thank you Vicky!

First practice sentence: I want to learn Korean fast Me: yeah that seems helpful,pretty basic Second sentence: It's annoying to see a magpie imitate me Me: wHa.....

you're really the best teacher our there. ive been learning korean for a few weeks now and i recently found out about your youtube videos, it really makes me motivated and understand the language so much, you're a great teacher thanks again

This channel is a true treasure💕💕 straight to the point, detailed and well explained lessons😊 thank you sooo much💕💕

You helped make the hardest things become short. Keep doing it! I love your channel.

Your Korean classes are the best ever!! It's the methodology, details and clarity that sticks out;감사합니다😊👍

Hey Miss Vicky I just discovered your channel and I'm amazed how amazing your explanation is and it's all for free thank you so much 🙏

i’m actually really proud of myself for figuring out the tongue behind your front teeth thing for ㄴ! i just thought that i made up some weird not really correct way to make it sound correct after listening to people and myself saying it over and over

when she said 케 이 크 (cake) it reminded me of when jhope said “ don’t touch my face-eu” 😂

Omg¡ you’re such a great teacher¡ The comparison between Korean and English, and Korean and Spanish are incredibly helpful. I’m definitely subscribing

I’m thinking how many notebooks you’ve spent for these videos. 감사합니다👍🏼 I’m learning slowly w your videos. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Miss Vicky! Your lessons have solved so many doubts and confusions!

Just want to let you know about my appreciation of your hard work and you are an amazing teacher. Thank you very much. Great help!

Thank you for this video Miss Vicky. It definitely helped me with my Korean pronunciation.

Thank you so much Miss Vicky! You’re an amazing teacher. I’m learning little by little. ❤

thanks so much. i had been struggling for the past 2 weeks with the correct pronunciation to the point that I thought koreans must be crazy remembering so many exceptions. But this video cleared up so much and made everything understadable.

It's so fun learning korean from you! 감사합니다 🤩

U know i love your explaining & teaching Style ✨️❤️

8:00 why did they Koreanize "swag" like whyyy

You're amazing, you're really a great teacher! Thank you so so so much for all this free knowledge. I am learning a lot :)

받침 비디오 시리즈로 쌤의 채널을 찾았는데 꾸준히 보고 있어요! 감사합니다 빅키샘~~ 구체적인 설명을 해주시네요!

Thank you so much for your videos they truly are wonderful!! Working my way through learning this language by myself and these are the only thing that is helping me get through. Hoping one day to have someone to practice with!

Thank you for these lessons! They are SO helpful.

I just wish native Korean speakers admitted (YES, I think the right word is ADMIT) that syllables like 고 and 코 when pronounced in isolation and without ANY context or extra emphasis, are EXTREMELY hard to tell apart, as they are both realized as voiceless and aspirated. Do you agree? It would come as consolation to a foreign learner (me!). Awesome video, as usual! Keep up the great work! :D

Thank you so much for making videos like thisss 💗

I've learned a lot in just watching 2 videos. This is more helpful than almost 7 apps I downloaded. Please continue uploading tutorials 🙂

Lol perfect timing 😄 Thank you👍

The way miss Vicky helped me distinguish the sounds of each vowels and consonants better than the apps I'm using combined (not an exaggeration) FOR FREE. You explained all of it really well. Thank you so much!

Great video! Thanks again!

Excellent explanation miss viki. Thank you

The best teacher ! The best Korean teachr award goes to miss Vickey ! I still don't get why is she so underrated! That hardwork of yours will pay off ! Fighting! Haha

I'm learning with you. Thanks for this!

New subscriber here 🙋‍♀️ your videos are amazing and so helpful❤️ Thank you for helping others learn😘🙏☺️

A very interesting and informative video; I'll definitely check out more of your videos :) It's interesting to see that I have a bit less of a problem distinguishing between the sounds and making them based on my mother tongue. Also, learning another foreign language (Korean) with explanations in a foreign language (English) is basically having double the benefits- learning a second language and getting better at English at the same time, gotta love multitasking ^^

You are the best teacher of korean

Wow! You're amazing! Thank you so much! You are a great teacher!

That’s very helpful thank you sm!!!

amazing videos and amazing teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! exceptional

thank you so much!!!! your videos are so helpful

Thank you so much. Will learn it later.

You teach me more about English that i never knew and that's my language

For some reason, It’s easier for me since I have a Australian accent. It’s more relaxed and soft than a American accent. Anyway, thanks for the great video Miss Vicky!

Thanks for these vdos.It helps me a lot to learn korean .....and lot easy and fast.....감사합니다😊😊💕💕

One of the reasons that i did no struggle at first with korean is because am a native spanish speaker, and vowels are clear and consistent like in spanish, as opposed to english. Thanks for your great explanation Vicky.

Thank you Miss Vicky. I'm a Filipina and because of the Enhance Community Quarantine I decided to learn a korean language and i already watch 2 videos of yours and I'm am proud to share that I learned a lot. Even though I'm a beginner I already learned some of the basic lessons of korean language "HANGUL" just like what others are doing.

I needed this so much. Spelling has been my biggest enemy so far in learning the language. I keep on getting it wrong whenever I write hangeul cause my pronunciation has been interchangeably wrong between eo and o so I get confused when I try to write it. Also with all those confusing double batchim and irregular consonants. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing knowledge

I am new to learning Hangul, and this video covers some of my struggles pronouncing consonants. 감사합니다 Vicky. This lesson is excellent for improving my pronunciation. 👍

thanks for the lesson! it really helped :))

Phonem G, B, J, D if they are located at the 1st syllable, the phonem will be pronouned as K, P, C, T (Aspirated sounds). However if they are located at the 2nd or 3rd syllable, they will become unaspirated sounds (G, B, J, D). For example : Jeju is pronouned Cheju... the 1st J become aspirated Ch. Bibimbab will pronouned as Pibimbab.. B changes to P (aspirated)... I am correct Double consonant such Bb, Jj, Dd, are unavailabe in English. They are equivalent with chinese pinyin B, Z, D.

This is extremely helpful!! I'm a Spanish native speaker who's learning Korean in English haha so your videos also help me to understand English pronunciation better 💜

For me the vowels are easy to pronounce,'ㅡ' too,we have an equivalent but I struggle a lot with distinguishing the consonants. Thank you so much for your help unnie!

nice sharing

this video was wayyyyyy easier to comprehend than duolingo thank youuuuuu!!!!!!! :)

Writing Korean is totally fine. Easy. Pronouncing it is a nightmare for me. But this video is super helpful!

Your vedio is great useful thank you very much

Thank you so much 💜💜💜

Thank you! So helpful 💕

I'm sooooo happy that infound ur channel!

Thank You very Much Miss Vicky, Your Korean teaching videos are the best ! I really wish that You give Us private lessons or courses for the People who want to practice more natural Korean conversations like Italki App

Thank u so so so so so so so much I really needed this.

thank you!it's very helpful!

Hi Miss Vicky! First of all, I am really glad and thankful that i found your channel, I've been really trying to learn hangul for a year now, i visited a lot of YT channel who teaches hangul, but, i find it a little off and hard to follow or their teaching method bore me, and i don't feel hooked, but your way of teaching doesn't bore me at all and i can say i am hooked, if only i don't have to go to work and rest i'll do it continuously. Thank you so much for the free lessons (love,love) Second, (hehe) just want to ask about your playlist of "All Korean Lesson" if it's in order? should we play it according to the order of the date that it was uploaded? I'm quite confused. Hope you can see this. Have a great day and god bless you.
