How do you speak Korean so well? I'm a Korean myself and I feel like you speak it better than I do :/ If I were blind, I would never know the difference between you and a native Korean speaker.
I'm better at my second language than my first language because when you study something you become hypercritical of yourself and worry so much about how you sound to others. You make extra effort on that while you chill and relax with your main language so your mistakes gets laughed off easier and you might use a lot of English borrow words (Sweden does this soooo much!) to be able to be even more "lazy" about thinking out what word you intended to use so it might get sloppy. I somewhere heard a comment in a Korean handwriting video that many foreigners have a tidier handwriting because they put more effort in it and are more nervous about not being understood. Also regarding things like dialects I think it might stand out more when you learn through paying attention because my American husband can't imitate a southern American accent but I can because it stands out to me. I'm still new to learning Korean so I can't even hear the differences in accents yet but I think languages and cultures are so fascinating!
Really appreciated hearing her perspective of her experience in America. Curious how long she's been in US and more about the challenges of traveling in a country where you don't speak the language.
New Yorkers seemed unfriendly, lol your friend should come visit Canada, everyone here is super friendly and always helpful with tourists even if we don't understand their language. 😊😊
Wait, there's a health insurance check in the US that you can get every year? That doesn't sound right. Can anyone clarify what they were talking about?
If you have insurance, you can schedule a free yearly health checkup with your doctor once a year. Insurance covers it and there's no co-pay. I think you can just call your insurance directly to ask for more info about it if you don't want to just call the doctor to schedule it.
I have a question, when learning Korean, or any language I suppose, would the saying "less is more" apply? By which I mean, can I have too many ways to learn, or is that helping? If I'm using an app, and attending weekly lessons, and watching videos/podcast, watching shows in that language, and trying to find a native speaker to practice with, will this help, or just confuse me??
I don't think having more resources can hurt you, as long as you're actually learning from each of them. I suppose if you had a hundred resources and only used each one for a few minutes, you wouldn't be able to learn anything in-depth from any of them. Other than that, go for it :)
I'm really shocked to be learning about how polluted Korea is! Can you please speak to this - is it true, and how bad is it? It will make or break my decision to teach English there.
i had one exchange student from korea in 2007 and another in 2008, one wept at the sight of the stars out in rural washington state. the other danced and celebrated white, fluffy snow. i don't know anything other than what i've been told from them, but they said that the sky is so polluted that they can't see the stars and when it snows it's grey slush. i didn't appreciate the stars or the snow much until i saw how much joy they brought to Seo Ra and Seo Young.
I really one to know one thing: Why do Korean girls and young women speak with such a NASAL sound? hahahaha. did anyone else notice?? I know you must've... is there a reason, 빌리선생님?

Been to the US once, never again. Haven't been to Korea yet but will once all the lockdowns and boarder closers are done.

Why do you only mention the big cities?.... America is a huge country and there is way more to the US than LA, NYC, etc.
yes!

Fortunately NY and LA don’t represent the majority of the US. 1:55
