Hi

I'm a native Spanish speaker and I did the same with the Spanish course for English speakers. The course has like 200 units. It's very good. But it's very Mexican centrist and I'm not from Mexico so I had to change some words to match Mexican Spanish otherwise Duolingo told me I was "wrong" and I was like "really?". I still recommend it though

I’m Japanese, and study Korean and Spanish with Duolingo, and I noticed that Korean course doesn’t have much explanation about grammar and vocabulary, but Spanish course has quite a lot. I hope that is gonna be improved in next update. I understand Korean course because grammar of Japanese and Korean are quite similar, both are SOV language, but, for people whose native language is SVO language, like English, I think it is gonna be difficult to learn Korean by duolongo.

Yeah, I’m doing Hebrew and Spanish on Duolingo. The Hebrew audio is missing very frequently which can be frustrating (considering the written vowels are missing). Spanish doesn’t seem to have this issue. I think it’s because Spanish is more popular than Hebrew and Korean courses (which is why there’s more content to the course). Either way I wish the developers would take some time to improve on the less used courses.

@@Rebecca008 that is so true. On the Korean course some character pronunciation doesn’t match with its English written pronunciation. Like a character is written to be pronounced “e-o” but it’s pronounced like it’s “ee” so you think it’s another character that’s actually pronounced like “ee” but it ends up being the other

As… interesting as duolinguo is, they make learning a language much more accessible, especially to people who’re moving, didn’t have access in school, or don’t have the money for a class. I appreciate Duolingo, but I wish they explained the technical stuff a bit more.

The sheer horror and indignation on your face when you got that question wrong for not adding the prounoun. I died laughing and then when you addressed the owl directly. Fantastic.

FYI: Duolingo is ten times more interesting, engaging, and educational if you switch to the mode where you have to type in the answers rather than just click on this or that word. To switch, all you have to do is click on the keyboard icon. It makes a world of difference! (But let me also say that I think your videos on Duolingo are extremely good. I find myself wondering if you are aware of just how unusual you are in being fluent in both Korean and English. I lived in Korea for 25 years and never once met a Korean, or anyone else, as bilingual as you. Kudos!).

I want a real voice too! I don't know if it changed any in the years since then though.

i started learning korean last semester in college and over christmas break i started using duolingo to keep my skills up between semesters. so your videos are super fun for me to watch cuz i relate to your frustration! if i'm not mistaken, there should be an option to use your keyboard instead of clicking on words to write your answers. (that's the case on the mobile app anyways). edit: also! i'm not sure if you ever want to revisit this series but i'd love to know your opinion on the first unit (?) that tries teaching basics of korean. there's a lot of english loan-words which was super confusing.

for the picture of ice, it is not that you have to guess the name but sometimes you learn something with the link of something you know. take for example the ice. you know how ice looks, it is supposed to make visually the word in Korean to said thing you know, and then later on you get asked the word without the drawings and it is more likely you know but really can't pin point why (like recognition but no recollection to why do you recognise it, “why do I knew it?”). that's why it is so Duolingo is so focused on repetition. it is made for interleaved practice (proven to be most effective for learning, but I'd swear for learning new languages there are other studies that check what is best). * I study psychology and really had fun with memory psychology, learning, educational and psycholinguistics.

i remember watching this video and fell of my chair😂

A trick I learned from Evan Edingers videos is that with those translation questions you can check if there are more then 4 answer boxes to start with, and after your answer there is a different number than 4 answer boxes left, then it's usually incorrect. Meaning that as long as you put the words in the right order, if there are 4 left over you're usually correct

Thanks for the videos!

OMG 3:12 you mention a problem I have been having with the new update!!!! Once again, thank you for doing this and making me feel less crazy.

Nice video :)

I’m only on unit 14 and yet I have already encountered a lot of these sentences! The fireman announced that he would inspect the building. So you’re telling me that I will be seeing these boring and relatively useless sentences over and over again 😮. Coincidentally, I knew that 무궁화 Hibiscus Syriacus or Korean Rose is also known as Rose of Sharon (particularly in America). Just this week, I was delighted to discover that this beautiful plant in my new garden is actually Korea’s national flower. As for Duo lingo the only thing I can say is that is at least encourages me to read Korean everyday but in terms of speaking and using what I read …..it’s pretty hopeless.

The scentences can be really repetitive, that's why I've hardly used Duolingo since the path update. I've learned grammar best on it though, so I'm going to try to go back

Thank you for validating my frustration with some of the Duolingo questions. After actively learning French, Korean, and Russian on Duolingo for the past 3 months, you pretty much highlighted most of the things that i hope Duolingo devs will fix/update: 1. (Referencing 2:50 & 9:20): DUOLINGO NEEDS TO LUMP HINT WORDS (ESPECIALLY ENGLISH WORDS). This has been my biggest pet peeve. Trying to sequentially order English words correctly for a long sentence is absolutely OBNOXIOUS - because it feels like Duolingo is trying to trick you (instead of trying to teach you). This feels especially true when you have to select your native language hint words (in this case English) - it's so maddening when i have to repeat an exercise just because i forgot an article adjective for a language that I am already fluent in (English). Duolingo, PLS FIX. 2. (Referencing 4:58): Some language lessons, like Korean, should accept omitted pronouns as the correct answer. 3. (Referencing 6:22): Duolingo needs to add more practical phrases. I do understand why bizarre sentences like, "the fox's milk," is featured b/c the person who designed these exercises probably thought that we'd also learn how to say "fox" in Korean too, but there should be more practical phrases featured instead. 4. (Referencing 10:22): (About the keyboard typing compatibility issue when using Duolingo on desktop) I noticed that if you restart your browser, you are able to make your entries by typing on the keyboard again. It's probably just a bug.

LOL, hilarious! On the early lessons, for us noobs, they do make a lot of the "sentences" too easy. Please tell me these changes makes Duolingo a better tool for learning Korean. I have continued using it in spite of your prior videos...plus DuoCards & Billy Go's "Korean Made Simple".

The continuing of the saga lets go 🤣

Mosquito coils are an uncommon specialty word, that's a weird thing to harass you over

oo yay a part 3

You can definitely still type. You can choose between the little word cards or typing on the app. There's a keyboard symbol. And the grinding helps with remembering. The random sentences stop you from guessing from context, which is often the worst way to learn

Nice Job On Doing Korean!! I Can Barely Do Korean Letters

I'm I'm learning Korean, I'm in the semi beginner stage. Like I know the basics, I just have to learn how to form sentences. And this is so entertaining to watch lol. And someone in the comments asked if you could do a "korean to english vedio" honestly that would be so cool please do it

The sentence "모락모락 피어나는 저녁 연기" in 4:06 is actually a lyric for a Korean children's song "노을(Sunset)".

Can you make a video on days, time, months, days of the weeks, colors, and how to count (in both Korean native and non-native numbers). I’ve been trying to find a Korean tutor or program, but I’m a broke college student. lol

Honestly, I've only been learning Korean for about two and a half years, and I was able to jump to level 61 just because of the particles. I didn't learn half the vocab they used here in my classes (yet at least), but it's easy to get to the end if you know the basics that you'd see in like the first year uni courses.

Good job

I finished the Korean course and boy it’s really chaotic and definitely needs more fluidity with the construction of the sentences

can't believe it's already been a year-

What's funny is I have never taken a formal Korean course or actively self-studied, but I was able to get almost everything correct just guessing from context and what I picked up from dramas/shows/songs haha (Only thing I couldn't really was construct the Korean sentences from the English example, but that's because I don't know all the words or much of sentence structure)

lmaoo i love this 'series' that it has become

if this guy was my actual korean language professor, I'd actually retain the info i swear

It's the pause after every "mistake" that makes this video for me.

As a primary English speaker using Duolingo to learn Korean, the worst part about it is not the repetition, but rather the way that the romanized readings for words often don't match the spoken sounds. I don't know whether it's the quality of the recordings, or a failing of the transliteration process, but I'd say probably about 7 or 8 times out of 10 I'll pick the wrong answer simply because of that. At a streak of 830 days on the course, I can confidently say that I cannot actually read Korean (I can usually pick the right word order from the options, but I often rely on the read-aloud or process of elimination). My pronunciation is probably pretty bad too. At least I can definitely recognize and understand extremely elementary spoken Korean, but I think I'll still need subtitles on my dramas for awhile yet.

OMG FINALLY

I've been using Duolingo to learn Korean which mostly means yelling at Duolingo for being bad at teaching Korean and looking things up in other sources. This was very fun to watch. Loved the pure Korean numbers vs sino Korean. Learning when to use each is a bit challenging. 😂

bruh i don't even speak korean and i got almost all of them right... brb updating my resume

one thing i personally dislike on duolingo is how it throws random sentences at you in the quizzes that you weren't ever taught. i was doing german and it told me to translate artist into german, i did so but it said i was wrong and told me it was a completely different word it hadn't mentioned up until that point. it still does this on occasions which really irritates me and makes me feel like they're setting us up for failure

My problem with it is the fact they don’t teach you grammar. They say it’s because most people don’t learn that way, but they don’t explain when to change the word form and why. They just repeat sentences and expect you to memorize it

I started learning Korean abt 3 weeks ago and what ive learned is Korean is a lot more simplified than English. Like less pronouns, not as many extra words too. And in a way is built on combined words, I can't remember an example but 2 words of similar meanings combine to make sense (kind of). And it relies a little more on context rather than grammar (although grammar is still important)

I'm fluent in Japanese and English, and I did this for Japanese. I understand your frustration because my experience was the same, even down to the whole adding/not adding pronouns thing. Sometimes they had really off sentences, too, or answers I gave that should've counted as correct because word order is really flexibke in Japanese but they weren't and it said I was wrong. Still, it is a pretty good app for learning the basics, I think. I've been learning Mandarin on there and I can understand simple stories on KZread now.

there is a new update on duolingo!

"just a few examples" then floods the whole screen at 6:15 with a bunch of onomatopoeia related words
