안녕하세요, it's Yeji here! To study the video with the full transcript and English translations, click here: bit.ly/42VezIH I hope you enjoyed this video 😆
@@sueyap3078What motivates me at 36 is being able to understand Korean movies. When you learn a new language you learn new ways of thinking about things and thinking about life. I lived in Japan for 3 years and it completely changed the way I saw the world.
I'm a very old French lady. I've been learning Korean by myself for 18 months now and it's very challenging . I live in a small town and I will never have the chance to meet Korean people to talk with them but learning Korean is very interesting. I try to break sentences of songs that I like to be able to understans them and sing along. Now I am able to understand some sentences when I watch K dramas but I don't think I will ever be able to fully undertans without the subtitles. But I will try to use the advices you gave us in your videos. Writing a diary will be helpfull, no doubt. So , thank you a lot.
I often times find myself listening to content in English about learning Korean and think I would really like to find versions that are in Korean so they can actually help me. This was perfect! Thank you
I really love this format a lot! The difficulty was just right for me as an intermediate learner and it doubles as amazing listening practice alongside the content discussed itself being really helpful too. Please keep the English hidden as captions by default like in this video; otherwise I'll get tempted and only read the English 😆
I'm intermediate too and I find listening so hard. Like I hear it and can't pick up what's being said sometimes, but when I see it written down I understand everything 😭 but I could understand this so that's a plus
This is the most helpful video I've EVER seen regarding how to learn a language. Thank you so much for doing this. I'm a beginner, so I had to turn on the subs, but I will come back to it over and over for different reasons.
This format is soo good! Love listening to Yeji's voice! :) I can listen to this while I'm running on the treadmill! Korean level +1 without even trying!
I really liked this video and the fact that you provided the Korean subtitles along with it made it easy for me to read along. In fact, I decided to challenge myself and put the video on 1.5 speed and thanks to the subtitles I was able to catch everything 😊 So yeah, these kinds of videos are great and I can only agree with the other commenters. Hope you consider uploading more content like this ❤
감사합니다 Yeji. This format is really nice Yeji. I can listen while at work. The way you speak and the speed are really nice. Also, the very quiet and soft background music is perfect. Thank you for your hard work and effort to teach us. ❤
this is so helpful, not just the study tips (and also the transcript), but also the way the video is presented. the video actually gives me motivation to study, definitely gonna try using the methods that Yeji shared in this video. i hope this can be made into a series. thank you Yeji!
All my new vocabulary words I list in sentences but they are other people's sentences. It never occurred to me to also write my own sentences which would help me memorize them better and help with my speaking. This is all extremely helpful and I will be implementing it with my Russian self study as well. Love this format and I look forward to another episode. Thank you!
우와 예지 선생님 너무 너무 감사합니다 🥹🥹 재밌었고 정말 유용해요. I’ve been struggling with speaking and vocab and you have shared very useful tips. I can’t wait to put them into practice 😁 TTMIK 제일 좋아요 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Wow! I love this format! Soooo useful. Thank you Yeji for making it. Please make more of this format, it helps a lot people at the intermediate level. 😍
I listened without subtitles and read along with the Korean as practice. I feel like I understood maybe... 65-70%(?) but I'm really proud of myself for it. I had started to become frustrated at my pace and feeling like I wasn't learning fast enough, but it's really good advice and comfort.
Thankyou for this video I find the speed easy for listening to, I can recognize words with my limited vocabulary while gaining familiarity with the rhythm of speech. I also appreciate the gentleness of this presentation.
Thanks for the video! I've been learning Korean for half a year now, but my biggest problem is still listening^^ I'm German so talking is fine as well as writing, but if I listen to Korean I can never understand without subtitles. But it's also hard to practice with movies and stuff, cause the subtitles always differ from what's really said.
Well my good sirs/ma'ams, my Korean was not improving until last week when I decided to watch your videos while writing down all the sentences in a notebook and reading them throughout the day until I know them by heart. Looks like my method has always been very scholar!
thank you for this informative video! not only for the useful tips but also for the transcript which helped me to recognize certain vocab and sentence structures. i hope you keep making videos like this :) 감사합니다
제가 거의 2년 동안 한국어를 공부하고 있는 데 왜 아직 원어민들처럼 자연스러운 그런 대화 못 할 까 싶어서 고민했어요. 그런데 아주 큰 실수가 잇었더라고요. 그게 바로 연습을 안 하는 거죠. 그래서 개학했을 때 한국어 공부할 시간도 꽤 없어서 결국 열심히 외운 단어 다 까먹었어요. 그래서 한국어 공부하는 방법 바꿨어요.이제 일기도 쓰고 새로운 단어를 배울 때 꼭 문장을 구조하려고 해요. 그리고 혼잣말도 하고 있어요. 지금 아직도 서투르지만 편하게 한국어로 제 마음을 표현할 수 있어서 너무 뿌듯해요. 항상 도움이 되는 영상 만들어주셔서 너무 감사드립니다. 앞으로도 화이팅!!!
My way of memorising words changed throughout the time. At first I just used anki and made countless flashcards of single words and translations on the other side. After getting to around 3000 cards learned I started making sentence flashcards. I'd pick a sentence with max 2 unknown words. highlight them and on the other side I'd just put the translations of new words but not the whole sentence. I think I can memorise the words better in context like this but I think we need to have agood base of words to do this, otherwise every words in an unknown word :)
Interesting. I thought most people would struggle with input as that is what happened to me. I started speaking very early on but my listening always sucked. To this day I have troubles understanding spoken Korean and I do much better with reading the korean subs. I can normally speak quite well (at least about the topics that I had a lot of exposure to) but understanind what people are saying to me is quite difficult. I think that is due to reading a lot of webtoons and texting, while I had very little listening practice. I'd watch dramas and just read english subs so yeah.. Wish to change
I teach in Korea. I have found that for my Korean students, speaking is usually much more difficult than listening. And for me personally, learning Korean, listening is by far the most difficult. In my professional opinion (I'm a University qualified second language teacher), that's basically it. For most Korean people, speaking is much more difficult than listening because English has more variation of phonetic sound to listen to, but more difficult to pronounce, and English sentence construction is VERY difficult compared to Korean, particularly for beginners (see pronoun-verb agreements and plural usage), and English sentences all start completely differently depending upon what you want to say. English sentence structure is very rigid with huge variation. Korean sentences are much more predictable, and generally mostly follow a basic stable pattern, particularly for beginners. Korean listening is MUCH more difficult than speaking for similar reasons. The Korean sentence structures, particularly for beginners, are quite easy. BUT the phonic sounds are much, MUCH closer together than English, and listening to Korean is like listening to a constantly changing ocean in a storm for English speakers, particularly at the beginning - we have to learn dictionary words to start with that we will never even hear spoken, but we MUST know those very well indeed in order to navigate through conjugations, the rules for which we need to know very, VERY well in order to differentiate conjugations of a lot of similar words. Then we have to learn to listen to those on a constant changing basis where sounds constantly change or are removed altogether, and for which many nuances are added to the structure. That's very difficult for English speakers who expect all individual words to STAY THE SAME like English words, lol! English has a little of that, with some contractions, but nothing like Korean. And as I mentioned above, the phonetic sounds in Korean are much, much closer together than in English - they're all bunched up together occupying similar spaces in the mouth, whereas English sounds are spread around the cavity space (high/low/back/front), (which I suspect also makes English speaking for Korean people more difficult - they have to navigate moving those sounds around much wider spaces.) Speaking was harder for this lady because English speaking is generally harder than listening. I've been teaching in Korea for 5 years and I haven't found a single student who found listening anywhere near as difficult as speaking. My students can listen and understand their learned English, but very few of them are able to make up their own sentences, and even then if they do (very rare), usually with little change from the initial learned basic expression, even though I teach the grammar behind it and the verb agreement rules. They can understand it, but they can't speak it. Korean listening is harder for most English speakers than Korean speaking, for the reasons stated above.
This is exactly my case. I somewhat can always express what I want in korean, so speaking is not hard for me at all, but I still struggle a lot with listening. Simply spoken korean is still too fast for my ears :(
@@gtmarze Yes, I am similar. I can express most of what I want to say, but listening is very difficult, the speed coupled misinterpretation of similar words at speed (and the time my brain needs to sort those out - often de-conjugating in my head - which similar word was said, by which time the conversation has moved on!), particularly when diction isn't good. Korean listening is much more difficult than Korean speaking, particularly in an area heavy with non-Seoul 사투리, which mostly completely looses me.
@@fransmith3255 I live in Busan so I can totally relate to the struggle of non-Seoul 사투리 ㅜㅜㅜ. The times i've gone to Seoul I felt their accent a bit easier to understand than 경상.
This video is excellent, would love to see more of these, even if the actual content isn't about helpful studying tips, but just random topics being talked about to help practice listening with everything subtitled and easy to check afterwards. The sentence making strategy is also what I try to do when I can when studying, but do others struggle with coming up with sentences to write? Even in English I can't think of a sentence to write for the vocab words to then try to say in Korean. I never know if this is just me completely lacking in creativity skills (lol) or if it's my own difficulty in trying to translate or what. But it makes me not want to take time making sentences with vocab words because it'll take like 10-15 minutes just to come up with a few sentences to say. And then if I try to do it quicker I just find myself saying very similar simple things that I feel don't necessarily help me that much. Anyone else have this kind of problem or know a way around it to help make it easier to come up with sentences to write?
One thing I'd like to hear more on is what you talk to yourself about in your target language. You mentioned you used to speak to yourself for an hour in English in the morning, so I'm curious about the topics you used to cover. I find it difficult to avoid having the same conversations with myself each day, or choosing a topic that's too difficult for my level and getting disheartened then not talking again for months on end.
저는 작년에 대학교를 졸업한 이후로 한국어 실력 향상이 점점 어려워졌어요.. 그런데 예지 선생님이 이 비디오에서 해주신 조언은 정말 도움이 돼요. 제 생각에는 이렇게 들으면서 예지 선생님의 말씀을 읽을 수 있는 게 아주 유익한 것 같아요. 한국어 배우기가 시작한 지 5년이 넘었는데 혼자서 연습하고 실수를 스스로 고치는 것... 그런 것 때문에 요즘 고민이 많아요. TTMIK 선생님들은 항상 저 같은 학습자에게 격려를 해주셔서 고마워요 ❤ (제가 이렇게 댓글 한국어로 남긴 지 좀 오랜만이라서 실수 좀 있을 것 같지만... 예지 선생님이 말씀하신 것처럼, 실수하는 것은 시도하지 않은 것보다 더 좋아요☺)
thanks Yeji! thanks TTMIK! i really love this format. For me, I struggle with hearing. It is almost impossible for me to understand most of the time because it is either too fast or I couldn't make sense of the words. With this format, it allows me to hear at a good pace and read at the same time!
This is really great, I didnt feel bored at all through out the whole video and also got familiar with some new vocabulary too. I hope you do more of this ❤
Dear TTMIK team, dear Yeji, thank you for your work and this video! :) I am a beginner in Korean and paradoxically, I have the biggest problem with listening I think. I have a Korean online chatting partner and we often exchange Korean sentences - I think I do not have a problem to write a sentence, to say it or to read the sentence from my friend (although my vocabulary is still very weak). However, we also exchange short voice recordings, and when it comes to listening, even at very slow speech, I need to play the recording 7 or 10 times to try to catch the meaning - even if it is a very simple sentence. Although I just completed Level 4 (I fully understand all the grammar points), I still have a problem to fully understand (listening-wise) the summary listening test for Level 1. The problem is maybe my vocabulary or maybe that I do not look at the sentence as a whole, but I am trying to analyze individual grammar points and then I am stuck at one unfamiliar word and cannot move on (or I simply miss the rest of the sentence). Do you have any tips how to become better in listening? Thank you so much!! :)
What do you think of contextual listening? Like I'm a beginner beginner.... but I catch a few main words and can generally get what the speaker is trying to put across, especially if I can see them or watch them. Then I will look up the missing words later. Its okay not to catch every word at once, and listening several times helps you fill in the gaps. That's still good
Thank you so much for this, Teacher Yeji. It helps me to assess my listening skills as well as reading Korean faster. I hope to see more contents like this. Thank you, thank you ☺️☺️💕
ASMR ❤ Thank you for the great video, I've been waiting (patiently) for more intermediate-based content from the TTMIK team now that Bimbimchat has stopped. There are so many beginner lessons out there it's nice to have something for us :) Really love this format too - 25 minutes of one person only talking in Korean about one topic in detail is brilliant. Moooore please :D Also, I have been writing up notes ONLY in Korean on new grammar points I learn/new words I come across and it's helped me a lot. I also add my own sample sentences to the write-up which is helpful. Sometimes I don't fancy writing about my day in Korean, so this helps me get the writing practice in without having to write about work, etc. haha.
와우 정말 유익한 동상입니다. 제가 예전에 고민했던 것과 똑같고 그 고민에 결론을 낸 공부 방법도 비슷해요. 한국어 배우는 친구들은 예진씨 말하신 방법으로 하면 실력을 향상시킬 수 있어요. 그리고 한번 더 강요하고 싶은 부분이 있어요 ^^ 외국어를 배우면 배울 수록, 내 연어의 선생님은 나라는 것을 알게 되어야 해요 ~ 다음 영상을 기대합니다
선생님 너무 너무 도움이 될 영상인데요 이 영상을 제 가슴에 담고 항상 그렇게 할 거예요 . 사실은 저는 단어를 외울때 그냥 “ 공부하다 공부하다 “ 이렇게 외웠어요 . 쓰기하고 듣기는 정말굉장히 좋은 것 같지만 항상 말할때 처음 배운 학생처럼이였네요 . 그래서 너무 민망하고 속상한 적이 있었어요 . 항상 생각해봤는데 왜 제 말하기 실력이 늘어지 않을까 싶었고 지금 영상을 보니까 제 실수는 어디있었는지 알았어요 . 정말 감사합니다
이 영상을 많이 도와주렀어요! (?) 하국어를 들때 이해요! 근대 다 단어는 무라서 괜찬아요! The tips from what I could understand were really helpful and I’ll definitely keep them in mind! 영상의 format을 촣아요! 선생님 말때 촣은 스프이드를 것같아요. 다시 올라요, 이 영상. 도와주셔서 감사합니다!
I've seen many videos saying the same thing: "just keep learning, even if you make mistakes along the way" but for some reason, this video made me believe it after my brain couldn't accept it for a long time. To be honest, I find journaling in general and even in a language I'm comfortable with is already tedious work to me, maybe because I'm an impatient person with a short attention span so I hope I can just give this a try,
예지 선생님, 이 동영상을 만들어 주셔서 너무 감사합니다. 정말로 도움이 됐습니다. 언어 학습자로서 한국어를 많이 공부했는데 늘지 않다는 고민이 많이 들고 한국어를 공부하기 시작했을때보다 이 느낌과 생각이 훨씬 더 들어요. 저는 앞으로 이 수준만 계속 있다고 생각도 했어서 가끔 공부하는게 힘든 순간 있었어요. 그런데 이 방법들 추천해주셔서 제가 다시 노력해 보고 한국어를 향상시켰으면 좋겠어요. 다시 한번 너무 감사합니다! 😊

And as I mentioned above, the phonetic sounds in Korean are much, much closer together than in English - they're all bunched up together occupying similar spaces in the mouth, whereas English sounds are spread around the cavity space (high/low/back/front), (which I suspect also makes English speaking for Korean people more difficult - they have to navigate moving those sounds around much wider spaces.)
Speaking was harder for this lady because English speaking is generally harder than listening. I've been teaching in Korea for 5 years and I haven't found a single student who found listening anywhere near as difficult as speaking. My students can listen and understand their learned English, but very few of them are able to make up their own sentences, and even then if they do (very rare), usually with little change from the initial learned basic expression, even though I teach the grammar behind it and the verb agreement rules. They can understand it, but they can't speak it. Korean listening is harder for most English speakers than Korean speaking, for the reasons stated above.
This is exactly my case. I somewhat can always express what I want in korean, so speaking is not hard for me at all, but I still struggle a lot with listening. Simply spoken korean is still too fast for my ears :(
@@gtmarze Yes, I am similar. I can express most of what I want to say, but listening is very difficult, the speed coupled misinterpretation of similar words at speed (and the time my brain needs to sort those out - often de-conjugating in my head - which similar word was said, by which time the conversation has moved on!), particularly when diction isn't good. Korean listening is much more difficult than Korean speaking, particularly in an area heavy with non-Seoul 사투리, which mostly completely looses me.
@@fransmith3255 I live in Busan so I can totally relate to the struggle of non-Seoul 사투리 ㅜㅜㅜ. The times i've gone to Seoul I felt their accent a bit easier to understand than 경상.
@@gtmarze Hehe, yeah, I'm an hour west of Daegu, lol.
팟캐스트 만들어서 정말 고마워요 예지 씨😊 저는 한국어 듣기는 지금 나빠서 이제부터 열심히 연습하고 싶어요. TTMIK으로 한국어 공부하는 것 정말 쉬워요. :)
It's nice to see you learning hard. I cheer for you.
This video is excellent, would love to see more of these, even if the actual content isn't about helpful studying tips, but just random topics being talked about to help practice listening with everything subtitled and easy to check afterwards.
The sentence making strategy is also what I try to do when I can when studying, but do others struggle with coming up with sentences to write? Even in English I can't think of a sentence to write for the vocab words to then try to say in Korean. I never know if this is just me completely lacking in creativity skills (lol) or if it's my own difficulty in trying to translate or what. But it makes me not want to take time making sentences with vocab words because it'll take like 10-15 minutes just to come up with a few sentences to say. And then if I try to do it quicker I just find myself saying very similar simple things that I feel don't necessarily help me that much. Anyone else have this kind of problem or know a way around it to help make it easier to come up with sentences to write?
예지 선생님, 한국어 공부하는 우리를위해서 이 녹음을 만들어 주셔서 정말 감사합니다💛 그리고 선생님의 목소리는 너무 아름답고 듣기 좋습니다!
One thing I'd like to hear more on is what you talk to yourself about in your target language. You mentioned you used to speak to yourself for an hour in English in the morning, so I'm curious about the topics you used to cover. I find it difficult to avoid having the same conversations with myself each day, or choosing a topic that's too difficult for my level and getting disheartened then not talking again for months on end.
너무 좋아요 선생님...
한국어를 공부하고 있는 저희들에게 큰 효과가 돼요. 저에게는 듣기 연습도 되고 발음 연습도 돼요.재밌게 봤어요.앞으로도 이런 영상을 또 해주세요. 정말 감사합니다.
This is such a great format and really helps me practice. I'd love to see more of this!!
고맙습니다. need more of these, thankss
저는 작년에 대학교를 졸업한 이후로 한국어 실력 향상이 점점 어려워졌어요.. 그런데 예지 선생님이 이 비디오에서 해주신 조언은 정말 도움이 돼요. 제 생각에는 이렇게 들으면서 예지 선생님의 말씀을 읽을 수 있는 게 아주 유익한 것 같아요. 한국어 배우기가 시작한 지 5년이 넘었는데 혼자서 연습하고 실수를 스스로 고치는 것... 그런 것 때문에 요즘 고민이 많아요. TTMIK 선생님들은 항상 저 같은 학습자에게 격려를 해주셔서 고마워요 ❤ (제가 이렇게 댓글 한국어로 남긴 지 좀 오랜만이라서 실수 좀 있을 것 같지만... 예지 선생님이 말씀하신 것처럼, 실수하는 것은 시도하지 않은 것보다 더 좋아요☺)
긴 댓글 남겨 주셔서 너무 고마워요!!! 고민 있으시면 언제든지 알려주세요! 제가 해결책을 생각해 볼게요 🥹
Your Korean is just like a Korean! As a Korean teacher, I don’t think you have anything to worry about!
예지 선생님, 감사합니다! This was helpful for my learning!
thanks Yeji! thanks TTMIK! i really love this format. For me, I struggle with hearing. It is almost impossible for me to understand most of the time because it is either too fast or I couldn't make sense of the words. With this format, it allows me to hear at a good pace and read at the same time!
와 이거 진짜 도와줬어요. 저에게는 말하는 것이 아니라 듣기가 가장 어려운 것인데요.
이런 영상을 좀 더 해 주세용.
Great format... love it!
거의 다 알아들어서 기쁘네요~ 예지선생님의 목소리도 설명도 너무 정확하고 듣기가 좋습니다
Thank you so much for this video, love it so mucb bcos it really help in reading Korean words as well as learning to form sentences!💖
이 영상을 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다! 새로운 단어랑 잊어버렸던 단어를 자연스럽게 공부했어요!
Ты из России?
This is really great, I didnt feel bored at all through out the whole video and also got familiar with some new vocabulary too. I hope you do more of this ❤
저는 혼자 한국어를 공부하고 있어서 조금 어렵지만 재미있어요.
고리고 이 팟캐스트 너무 좋았어요. 정말 감사해요.
Dear TTMIK team, dear Yeji, thank you for your work and this video! :)
I am a beginner in Korean and paradoxically, I have the biggest problem with listening I think. I have a Korean online chatting partner and we often exchange Korean sentences - I think I do not have a problem to write a sentence, to say it or to read the sentence from my friend (although my vocabulary is still very weak).
However, we also exchange short voice recordings, and when it comes to listening, even at very slow speech, I need to play the recording 7 or 10 times to try to catch the meaning - even if it is a very simple sentence. Although I just completed Level 4 (I fully understand all the grammar points), I still have a problem to fully understand (listening-wise) the summary listening test for Level 1.
The problem is maybe my vocabulary or maybe that I do not look at the sentence as a whole, but I am trying to analyze individual grammar points and then I am stuck at one unfamiliar word and cannot move on (or I simply miss the rest of the sentence). Do you have any tips how to become better in listening? Thank you so much!! :)
What do you think of contextual listening? Like I'm a beginner beginner.... but I catch a few main words and can generally get what the speaker is trying to put across, especially if I can see them or watch them. Then I will look up the missing words later. Its okay not to catch every word at once, and listening several times helps you fill in the gaps. That's still good
Thank you for sharing this study method. I’m going to try it out. I really want to speak better but don’t know where to start.
정말 즐겁게 봤어요! 이런 영상을 더 많이 만들어 주시면 너~~~무 좋겠어요. 감사합니다!
귀여운 댓글 너~~~무 감사합니다😊
감사합니다.가장 좋은 방법을 알게 됐습니다.감사합니다.선생님 말씀 대로 해보겠습니다.❤
Thank you so much for this, Teacher Yeji. It helps me to assess my listening skills as well as reading Korean faster. I hope to see more contents like this. Thank you, thank you ☺️☺️💕
한국 사람인데 한국어 공부하고 싶어지는 영상이네요 ㅎㅎ 감사합니다!
이 듣기 연습이 너무 좋아했어요! 감사합니다!
thank you verry much a lot of these things i didn't know yet ❤❤
ASMR ❤ Thank you for the great video, I've been waiting (patiently) for more intermediate-based content from the TTMIK team now that Bimbimchat has stopped. There are so many beginner lessons out there it's nice to have something for us :) Really love this format too - 25 minutes of one person only talking in Korean about one topic in detail is brilliant. Moooore please :D Also, I have been writing up notes ONLY in Korean on new grammar points I learn/new words I come across and it's helped me a lot. I also add my own sample sentences to the write-up which is helpful. Sometimes I don't fancy writing about my day in Korean, so this helps me get the writing practice in without having to write about work, etc. haha.
와우 정말 유익한 동상입니다.
제가 예전에 고민했던 것과 똑같고
그 고민에 결론을 낸 공부 방법도 비슷해요.
한국어 배우는 친구들은 예진씨 말하신 방법으로 하면 실력을 향상시킬 수 있어요.
그리고 한번 더 강요하고 싶은 부분이 있어요 ^^
외국어를 배우면 배울 수록, 내 연어의 선생님은 나라는 것을 알게 되어야 해요 ~
다음 영상을 기대합니다
꺄 저랑 똑같은 생각을 하셨군요!! 반갑습니다 🤓
선생님 너무 너무 도움이 될 영상인데요 이 영상을 제 가슴에 담고 항상 그렇게 할 거예요 . 사실은 저는 단어를 외울때 그냥 “ 공부하다 공부하다 “ 이렇게 외웠어요 . 쓰기하고 듣기는 정말굉장히 좋은 것 같지만 항상 말할때 처음 배운 학생처럼이였네요 . 그래서 너무 민망하고 속상한 적이 있었어요 . 항상 생각해봤는데 왜 제 말하기 실력이 늘어지 않을까 싶었고 지금 영상을 보니까 제 실수는 어디있었는지 알았어요 . 정말 감사합니다
Thank you a lot for this special way to improve our language, ❤❤ keep going your doing well ❤❤
정말 진심으로 감사드립니다❤
This was very helpful.
감사합니다 예지 선생님!
이 영상은 엄청 좋아요. 편하게 들을 수 있어요 😊 요즘 저는 공부를 별로 안 해서 더 연습해야 돼요. 저는 한국어를 4년째 공부하고 있지만 특히 제 듣기랑 말하기 실력을 더 늘고 싶어요 ㅠㅠ TTMIK으로 저는 더 공부할 거예요~
Your Korean is definitely great!
선생님 안녕하세요
내용이 너무 재미있습니다. 감사합니다❤
I just listened and cleaned my whole room Ty for ur hard work
이 영상을 만들어주셔서 너무 감사합니다! 정말로 많은 도움이 됬거든요. 사실 저는 이렇게 긴 영상에 집중을 잘 못 하지만 이번에 재미있게 봤어요. 특히 영어 자막을 추가해주셔서 고마워요. 이런 영상을 더 만드시면 좋겠네요. 🫶
Wow! Your Korean is excellent!
Thank you very much for this video, do such content a lot because it helped me a lot❤️ 너무 감사합니다♡♡♡
이 영상을 많이 도와주렀어요! (?) 하국어를 들때 이해요! 근대 다 단어는 무라서 괜찬아요! The tips from what I could understand were really helpful and I’ll definitely keep them in mind! 영상의 format을 촣아요! 선생님 말때 촣은 스프이드를 것같아요. 다시 올라요, 이 영상. 도와주셔서 감사합니다!
I've seen many videos saying the same thing: "just keep learning, even if you make mistakes along the way" but for some reason, this video made me believe it after my brain couldn't accept it for a long time. To be honest, I find journaling in general and even in a language I'm comfortable with is already tedious work to me, maybe because I'm an impatient person with a short attention span so I hope I can just give this a try,
Thanks for your video 💙
선생님 ❤ 많이 배웠어요. 팁 너무 유용하고 쉽게 사용할 것 같아요. 서생님 떡분에 다시 공부할 의욕 생겼습니다. 😊
예지 선생님, 유용한 조언과 매우 흥미로운 팟캐스트에 감사드립니다.
I loved this vid. Please make more like this!!
this is incredibly helpful! thank you so much!
제가 말하기 에대해서 너무 부족해서 이 이야기들이 저한테 많이도움이 돼었으니까 너무 감사합니다 선생님
예지 선생님, 이 동영상을 만들어 주셔서 너무 감사합니다. 정말로 도움이 됐습니다. 언어 학습자로서 한국어를 많이 공부했는데 늘지 않다는 고민이 많이 들고 한국어를 공부하기 시작했을때보다 이 느낌과 생각이 훨씬 더 들어요. 저는 앞으로 이 수준만 계속 있다고 생각도 했어서 가끔 공부하는게 힘든 순간 있었어요. 그런데 이 방법들 추천해주셔서 제가 다시 노력해 보고 한국어를 향상시켰으면 좋겠어요. 다시 한번 너무 감사합니다! 😊
영상 봐주시고 이렇게 학습 경험까지 공유해 주셔서 너무 감사해요!!! 🥹 (저 예지예요ㅎㅎ)
@@talktomeinkorean 우와 예지 선생님 직접 답장해 주셔서 감동받았어요 ㅋㅋ 다음 동영상도 기대돼요! TTMIK의 선생님들께 감사합니다. 한국어를 배우는 사람한테 많이 도와주시고 힘도 주셔서요. 🥰
감사합니다 ❤
저는 이런 종류의 영상을 좋아합니다. 한국어 실력을 향상시키는 데 꼭 필요한 영상입니다!
Finally some more advanced content!!? 😊😊❤
such a great work to help me easily study Korean ❤ I love that kind of video please make it moreeee
I am still learning basics, so I set at half speed and try to read along with audio to see pronunciation❤
