    To the TTMK team: never worry about running out of new content. You can always make a reshoot or new version of an old lesson. Having already talked about something doesn't mean nobody wants to hear about it again, as there's always new people trying to learn Korean everyday. For example, "Hangul 101 ver. 2023" might work just as good as the very first one you made. Keep up the good work, 화이팅!

    Shadowing I think helps me a lot. Even though I have no idea what I am saying it helps me with the muscle memory that needs to be performed to get the cadence and intonation of the language. I’ve also noticed I’ve been able to hear more words clearly even if I don’t know what they mean. Especially with Korean subtitles on. I think it’s another good layer to add on to help your brain make more associations in the Korean language :)

    Thanks for showing a shadowing example. I am willing to bet there may be others like me who may find this difficult to do at the first go, so for them I wish to add something which helped me. For me I've picked an audio of simple sentences where I download the audio (e.g. 50 languages) so I don't use data for the car. I first needed to listen (no shadowing yet) and start to understand. I first focused on the common repeated words like verbs and question words (what, who, when, which) and then common adjectives adverbs (yet, still, now etc). I didn't plan on this, but the trick is repetition, the more repetition the more I noticed these words first. Where I am now I have about half the lessons, where I can shadow them, but I had to first listen. Also, the format of audio I have is. Person speaking English line then, guy speaking Korean then, lady speaking Korean. So before shadowing, I would listen and understand the sentence, and repeated when the lady spoke. This helped me get ready for shadowing... so its: 1. Listen / comprehend 2. repeat entire sentence when lady spoke the second time 3. finally shadowing. When I shadow now, I already know what I am going to say so I do it at the same time, so I can match his tone... sometimes I have to lag behind a bit when I mess up, but I try to match it exactly, similar to singing with someone. I hope this insight may help some who may find this challenging.

    Excellent video! This really breaks down the technique of shadowing very well...best explanation I've heard and great that you provided recommended materials. What I've found is I like to listen to the content once through... just listening...to get a feel for the material and to learn anything I'm not familiar with. Then I can try shadowing since the material is now more comfortable. Eventually, I hope to not need that first step, but for now it helps me.

    I learned how to have "fluent" daily conversations in Japanese in 6 months. But Korean sounds so mufflfed and is hard to understand. The pronunciation is difficult, too. Japanese people always understood me from the first day I started learning it but in Korea I still have problems despite having lived here and studied it for many years. Because Korean and Japanese are similar in grammatical structure and some vocabularies, I thought I would be able to learn Korean fast. But Korean has many ambigious hard sounds while each Japanese sound is very distinct. And the Japanese grammar is easier, too - they don't change grammar and particles depending on if a word ends in a vowel or consonants (는/은/를/을/이/가) which makes Korean so hard but always use just one. They also have fewer levels of polite grammar. Except Kanji, Japanese is easy compared to Korean. It's like comparing the London accent or Swedish (my native language) with the Alabama accent or Danish. Talk To Me In Korean has been very helpful to develop my listening skills!

    @@koreanwithjessica3421I'm happy to hear you opinion and hope you could elaborate more. I believe Japanese is more straight forward for these reasons: --------------------------------------------- Object particle: Japanese: always を Korean: 을 or 를 Subject particle: Japanese: always が Korean: 이 or 가 Topic particle: Japanese: always は Koresan: 는 or 은 Korean only: contractions variations, 것, 거, 건, 걸, 게... Indirect quotation just require dictionary short form and っという/っ ときく. But in Korean there are various rules for statements, questions, suggestions and demands. --------------------------------------------- Normal polite form: Korean: -어요 or 아요 (해요) Then, commonly used honorific level (하세요) and deferential levels (합니다)+ some even more polite features (-시- "하시다") for all verbs and humble grammar + combinations of both (드리시다). Japanese: we can usually always use -ます (します) With just a few honorifics (なさいます)and humble verbs (いたします). --------------------------------------------- Perhaps the Japanese て- form is the exception where there are about 5 options (て, って, いて, いで, んて) while only 2 (어/아) or even 1 ("and"/고) in Korean. --------------------------------------------- The hardest for me is when features/connectives to a verb varies depending on if the word ends with a vowel or consonant as is so common in Korean. --------------------------------------------- Both languages basically use three ways to add connectives: dictionary/plain form, stem, and in Korean (어/아) or て in Japanese. But in Japanese I only have to go back one step and add the connective たべる minus る + たら= たべたら(if/when eat) while in Korean I also have to check the ending for constants/vowels and can't just remove -다 to add the connective: 먹면❌. 먹 +으+면=먹으면⭕ --------------------------------------------- I wish Korean could always be as easy as in "want to" = same rule always (just minus 다) + 고 싶다. --------------------------------------------- Korean has many verbs with exceptions in contrary to Japanese, for example: 듣다 = 들어요 not 듣어요 춥다 = 추워요 not 춥아요 배우다 = 배워요 not 배우어요 --------------------------------------------- In intimate speech Japanese dictionary style is used. But Koreans tend to use polite style minus "요"= 먹어 rather than 먹다. So the dictionary/plain form is rarely used by itself in spoken language (but in writing) except when combined with other connectives. -------------------------------------------- The initial threshold was quite high when I started with Korean while almost non-existent in Japanese. The spelling and pronunciation features in Korean were a bit confusing to me as beginner. --------------------------------------------- About the pronunciation: Japanese is virtually always pronounced as it's written while Korean sometimes isn't( 연락= 열락). --------------------------------------------- Also: if I learn that "clothes" is 옷 "o", it's hard to understand when it sounds like "osun" 옷은 or 옷이 "oshi" or "osul" 옷을 depending on how it's used. Korean has so many soft ending consonants that are only pronounced when combined with other particles/words, such as 꽃The fact that the pronunciation changes and only keeps the first snippet makes things hard. --------------------------------------------- Japanese only has five and very distinct vowels while Korean has more and some sound similar sometimes. My taxi went to a totally different area😅 cause 신촌 and 신천 sound quite similar. --------------------------------------------- The Japanese ち,し, じ are very distinct (cheese, she, jeans) but the Korean 치, 지 are tricky and 지 is not as soft as "じ and as with many consonants it sounds like somehting between "ji" and "chi" and "ㅂ" sounds like something between a "b" and "p" and so on. --------------------------------------------- On a more subjective note: when I hear Japanese, I notice each syllable and sound though I might not understand it. With Korean, I don't even register some sounds and have play movie scenes in slow motion a couple of times to catch everything. --------------------------------------------- I'm curious to hear your defence of Korean😅👍 I checked your channel and your knowledge of Korean is great so therefore I don't know why Japanese would seem harder to you.

    I also have a similar problem where in my brain I swear I can hear/pronounce what is being said but when I open my mouth it’s jumbled lol. What I do is pause the video sometimes, read the subtitles and try to mimic the sentence being said. I’ll keep doing it until it sounds good and the process. Imo it’s not even about understanding exactly what is being said or the grammar etc…but forming the muscle memory for your tongue to actually perform the sounds.

    Right! It's so true that you need to form the muscle memory for your tongue. For a practical tip, I'd like to recommend you use a Google extension or any any other tool with which you can optimize the speed of the video you're watching! That helped me a lot when I practiced shadowing!

    This seems like an advanced technique too difficult for me. I'm this weird case where I can explain how Korean grammar works to someone, as if I were a teacher, but my vocabularly is limited. I often understand only fragments of sentences, and that is if I'm watching football-related content, which interests me. I guess it's much easier to pick up vocabulary from K-dramas, which I don't watch.

    안녕하세요 톡투미인코리안 , 저는 인도에서 소먀입니다 . 여기에 질문이 있습니다 - '어떻게' 하고 '어떡해' 이 단어들에 발음 차이를 말해 주세요 . And there is one question also - What is the natural pronunciation of '의' because I have seen some native speakers pronouncing it as somewhat similar to æ 감사합니다 🙏😊❣️

    for the first question i believe theres no difference, especially when speaking quickly. you'll have to figure out which through context. for the second one it has to do with pronounciation rules. 의, when at the start (and i believe middle) of a word tends to be eu and i together, such as "의자", "의사", etc. when used as a possessive marker, like 's in english, its pronounced like 애/에. like, say, when i pronounce "예지 씨의", i would say the 의 as 에. so it's read like "예지 씨에." i don't think there are examples of it being read like 애/에 in other contexts, but im a beginner myself and do not mind being corrected or any add-ons to this response.

    I think it is still very helpful with getting to know pronounciation and becoming familiar with the words, even when you don't know the meaning yet. So it helps when you do learn the meaning later, plus you might figure it out through context when you hear the words often enough.

    If there are only several words that you can't understand, I think it's still helpful to try shadowing. But if you can't understand what the speaker(s) is talking about at all, then maybe you want to find another material that fits your level :)

    What does 는지 in sentence mean ? Please..

  • @brightrenderbeam4742

    @brightrenderbeam4742

    Жыл бұрын

    - 는지... basically has a curiousness and doubtness in sentence, so this is used when there are two things to check. ex)1. 준비물을 잘 챙겼는지 확인해라! (Check if you prepared materials!) In this sentence, 는지 acts like (whether yes or not) 2. 선생님께서 내가 집에 언제 가는지 물어보았다 In this sentence, the teacher is asking when I am going home. There is nothing to check yes or not in this, but asking when. So, this has meaning as (to go) in a variated form. (can also be used 언제 가는지 = 언제 가나 in this sentence) - And in sentences, 는지 is a variated form from verbs to show curiosity, doubt or guess, and the root of the verbs don't change, like 있다-있는지, 가다-가는지,하다-하는지, and even after the past form, they don't change, like 있었다-있었는지, 갔다-갔는지, 했다-했는지. But, in some irregular verbs ending with ㅂ, like 덥다-더운지, 춥다-추운지, 줍다-주운지(cf. 잡다-잡은지, 밟다-밟은지), the root changes.(Sorry! ㅠㅠ) One more thing, sometimes 는지 is used with 얼마나, 어찌나 in sentence to emphasize something, like "우리 강아지가 죽었을 때, 얼마나 슬펐는지 몰라." - When my puppy died, I don't know how much I felt sad.(this English sentence tells all.)
