I’m in a college course learning Korean and it’s not that difficult like obviously it’s hard work but the thing is - Korean actually MAKES SENSE. Learning it makes you realise how insane English is.

As an English speaker with Spanish as my second language I agreed I think the same about Japanese, it's makes sense, English and Spanish are so complicated and for what 💀🤣

​@MushyCabbage As a non-native speaker, I personally think english is a really easy language to learn. But I also do believe that it depends on what your first language is. If your first language is harder, then you'd find english to be easier. Korean however, is very straightforward. Most of the word structures are either based on Hanja or are strictly words formed from other words and the sentence structures are much more free than english ones. Also, what I noticed (please forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm still a beginner too) is that particles really make up most of the korean language.

To be honest, Going Seventeen helped me a lot with Korean in terms of words and pronunciations. Since I can read korean alphabets, it wasn't hard to read the words and learn the pronunciation. I just don't know how to construct a sentence but somehow I can understand a sentence by context.

Me too, I'm learning Korean too. I can read and speak the language, but I'm not that good with constructing full sentences

12:58 I think what the8 was reading says "back when tigers used to smoke" which I think is the equivalent of "once upon a time" in Korean.

Tbh, learning Korean writing was easy.. Like it just needs some memorizing & you good.. You can finally read korean at some point.. But here's where it's difficult, you can read it, can write too but you just don't know what it means.. I think that's the hardest part of learning another language...

Yeah, I read a lot of sentences and I can't translate them T_T

When I went to Korea last year I knew very little Korean and it really wasn't that bad. People are typically very accepting and helpful. They will understand that you are both learning and not from Korea. If you try they really do seem to appreciate that and praise you. If you make mistakes there are some people who will even try to help you fix it. I was on the subway and it was during rush hour (hot tip avoid the subway during rush hour for the love of god) and I accidentally stepped on an older man's foot. I apologized in Korean and it seemed to make all the difference in the world. He was trying to help me after that, and offered me his seat (I didn't take it, their seating on the subway is very specific and I didn't want to be rude). But just do your best! I believe in you!

joshua is so cute LOL no but fr i’m scared to even attempt to learn, because i know my ass is going to be struggling

I've been self teaching myself Korean for nearly 4 years and this year I finally took a proper course and let me tell you the amount of progress I made in the 6 months of the course compared to 3 years of self teaching was crazy. I could already read and write and my only issue was the sentence structure and now that I've finally understood that (it just sorta clicked one day) now my next goal is particle memorisation (왜 많이 있어요 ㅠㅠ) When I got into the thick of studying I even found myself mixing up the english sentence structure - but thats not relevant. Wishing you, and anyone else learning, the best of luck on your learning journey! 잘 공부해요!!! 🫡 화이팅!

He really said amen😭😭😭

You can do it don't worry! There will be a lot to learn always but its okay if we dont know everything. We can learn one at a time~ I also learnt Korean and am currently working as a Kor-Eng translator but I feel I learn or encounter new words very frequently. But many of those new words have now becomes words I know since I've been using them. And I still get stuck many times during interpretation and gotta think the word and say. Like how you were saying, a brain freeze hehe. I wanna do good tho and I wanna improve too! I am worried tho that I am lacking because I want to do well in my job :(

As someone self-studying Korean with a stutter IT WILLLLL it’s especially hard when I read and I mix up certain characters But if stuttering and not sure if what you’re saying is correct learn shadowing (reading words and sentences at the same time as a speaker to get pronunciation and intonation) and go over the Hangul system over and over

5:07 But which satoori do you want to learn? Bc there's so many different ones. Personally I think Busan satoori sounds really cool! Simon Dominic is from there and it was the first time I noticed satoori. I think there are 6 main kinds if satoori.

hiii, im not sure if you already talked about it but i was wondering if you're going to continue watching going seventeen? have a good day, seb! 🤩

You can do It!. I've been studying Korean for 3 yrs and it is very rewarding when I can watch a Korean show and understand most of what is being said. Run BTS and Going SVT are great shows to learn with, good for practice I mean. Find a good program to study with and you'll be good. Maybe we can have some study together sessions.

I learned Korean in University and I have to say I learned how to read and write really well bc its actually super easy but the hardest thing is pronunciation. I actually speak Cantonese and there was a lot of Chinese/Korean similarities in words from a long time into the past. I basically used Cantonese to learn Korean and it helped me so much in my pronunciation and remembering all the vocabulary and sentence structures bc its so similar. It takes time to learn but we are only learning standardized Korean which is basically Seoul Korean. Once you head out to other cities and esp the countryside where you will hear Satoori dialects, its so hard to understand them bc it is so different if your used to standardized Korean. Going Seventeen or a lot of Kpop content shows is great at helping you get used to listening and practicing along with them bc of all the translation in english and the hangul they display to help you learn but mostly the show is great to help with pronunciation and word break downs since they have foreign members they always try to help them understand. Even when its just the Korean members in Seventeen, some talk super fast and it confuses other members too who are fluent lol try watch some episodes with Mingyu, he has a lisp and he speaks really fast Korean that can confuse people like in one episode with DK in a TTT episode.

about the stuttering yes... i stutter in greek which is my first language and im fluent in english but i stutter when i speak english too hahaha

You said don't laugh but when I heard the question I wasn't laughing at you I laughed imagining all my speaking habits translate to another language and I'm embarrassed for myself 😅

The funny part is I don't know Korean only a few words, I don't even know when the foreigners f* up😅

6:01 I actually have a bit of a stutter and tendency to slurr my words, and I'm fluent in both French and English. Since I live in an English speaking country, my English is way better. I think more before speaking when I speak french, so my stutter is a lot less apparent! Because English is my go-to (except around some family) I just tend to stutter more.

When I realized I could read Korean it was a moment I was super proud of myself, but pronouncing it is soooo hard...Korean is so many soft syllables, lots of repetitive "gy" and "h" sounds. I get tripped up a lot bc my tongue can't wrap itself around the sounds.

SEBASTINE HI

2:42 "Do you get a brain freeze when you try to pronounce something?" Yeah, oftentimes with my own language (Filipino) and I guess, Japanese. With Korean, I didn't because I can just try and repeat the words until I can fully say it fluently 3:39 Alright, this one I'm struggling to pronounce it, now there's a brain freeze XD 11:16 Thanks to Vernon, I can slightly understand the game 😅

HI SEB

Don’t ever feel embarrassed or ashamed when mispronouncing words of a language you’re trying to learn. I can barely speak the two languages I use daily. Haha. Not even kidding >.

I freeze up so badly when I’m trying to say something I’m Spanish and then I’m like oh wait how in the fuck do you say that in Spanish (I’ve always known how to speak Spanish but a lot of the time I forget what some words in English mean in Spanish)

13:41 "is that a urchin" Noo 😭 That's a fruit. Its called a "rambutan" and it's basically a lychee's cousin. Its common in Asia I'm pretty sure.

@mirayoon1992 Usually you can find them at Asian grocery stores! On the East coast we have “Great Wall” but I’m sure there’s a west coast equivalent!

I have brain freezes trying to pronounce words in my own language. No hope for me with any other languages

The funny thing is, I have drawn the answer to the test paper and I got full points because of that! Also, that teacher used my test paper as an example of the perfect answer because of the drawing. 🤣

6:00 ive been learning spanish for like 4 years and yes your stutter transfers if anything mine gets worse when i speak spanish
