hopefully you find some of these tips helpful in your language learning :-) if you have any further questions, suggestions, or ideas for future content feel free to let me know, and as always thanks for watching
Thanks for the little shoutout, Marlon! And as a language learner myself, I can completely relate to your messages, especially one about not being too hard on yourself. 저는 독일어를 배운지 오래 됐는데 아직 너무 부족한게 많아서 창피할 때가 있거든요. Thanks for the reminder!
You said the most helpful tips on this topic that I’ve seen so far, thank you so much. I am a beginner, I finally want to take one step forward into active learning!
that means a ton! I hope to make more language learning videos in the future, so if there’s anything unclear or something you’d like to know more in-depth, feel free to let me know :)
this video is great and has a honest and nuanced take that isn't extremely limiting like almost all of these kinds of videos. Your points about having fun and being nice to yourself are so true and its something I've been conflicted with through the two years I've been learning Korean due to my approach. I can read Korean adult novels decently well w/o any aid and can watch whatever I want but I have never actually spoken and people have definitely been critical and lowkey rude to me about it and it has definitely gotten me down. In the last few days I've been tryna speak to myself but it's definitely frustrating but the progress is fast anyway I appreciate the more nuanced and aware take this video has lol 🙏
So happy you appeared on my RUclips. I went to Seoul and Busan in June. Used the Papago app. Want to go back so I have been exploring beginner Korean classes on RUclips. Many video classes will show the Korean alphabet, then the English phonetic and then the English translation. Sometimes what I hear is NOT what I see as the English phonetic translation. Did you experience that? I find that to be very confusing. (From a fellow Mexican-American in Tucson Arizona 😊)
Something that doesn’t get brought up much, and I get (not everyone is into it), but watching twitch streamers in Korean can be nice. Generally the streamer and their chat are not using super in-depth language. They’re using the casual, everyday language. And as you get better in the language (or just have the gumption to, regardless of level) you can start writing in the chat. I’m more of a written language type person. Even in English, I may physically speak a handful of times a day, but I’m always reading and writing. So something like Twitch is great imo (and you can choose what games or activities you’re watching as well.)
for sure! social media in general is great for language learning - if you can find people to follow that use your target language on a daily basis, this is great for learning everyday vocabulary or even slang, great reccomendation :-)
thank you for all the tips! i've been thinking about learning korean for a few days now and this video just popped on my home page, so i'll take it as the sign it must be hehe will come back for the intermediate and advanced tips in a bit :) i really needed to hear the "don't overspend" tip, because i was so ready to start spending money to start learning
Online yes American schools- doubtful. Unis offer them but you're better off with specialised coursed. Learn hangul first, can be done in an hour. Online resources 👍👍
what are your tips for people (me lol) that can read and write but struggle with speaking and translating? i’ve been learning for a while now and still struggle. i’m not a beginner but yeah haha
Hey Marlon! I started learning Korean on preply in August of this year with a native tutor. Do you think that this way is effective to get me to advanced level? ++My tutor mentioned that when I get to a higher level I will start buying Korean learning books too
Just a warning, you will have to be able to read the directions in Korean to complete the workbooks. I don’t recommend for a complete beginner. These books are probably better for intermediate and up. When I attended Yonsei, they gave me 3 books for the very basic level.
do you have to be a certain age to join language programs in Korea? Im 14 years old and have been learning since 5 months ago.. I really want to attend one but obv I'm a minor and cannot go to another country myself..

Can you show us how to live in Korea as a Foreigner
Are you able to find like any pdf version of the New Yonsei Korea?

Unfortunately, Twitch recently decided to withdraw from South Korea.
You won't be seeing South Korean streamers broadcast on Twitch anytime soon.
Thanks for making learning not just informative, but also incredibly engaging. I never miss a video!!!
Dude, you're awesome! These tips are so solid 😃

i thin k u should go to china its more advanced country
Love your videos! Great ideas and info! I’m just starting out trying to learn Korean. I took away some great info from you. Thank you❤
1. Are there many Korean books or textbooks on the market?
2. Are there many Korean language courses in American schools?
Online yes
American schools- doubtful. Unis offer them but you're better off with specialised coursed. Learn hangul first, can be done in an hour. Online resources 👍👍
Learning korean at an acadamy in korean without much experience was dreadful. They are so strick and they move so fast :(
It's really great. It's really helpful lesson
what are your tips for people (me lol) that can read and write but struggle with speaking and translating? i’ve been learning for a while now and still struggle. i’m not a beginner but yeah haha
The video was very helpful, thank you. If I want an online Korean course, what do you recommend for me for beginner and more levels learning?
Hey Marlon! I started learning Korean on preply in August of this year with a native tutor. Do you think that this way is effective to get me to advanced level?
++My tutor mentioned that when I get to a higher level I will start buying Korean learning books too
Do u know any websites where I can get the new yonsei books that’ll ship to the USA? I’ve been looking everywhere and I can’t find one😭
I found a website called twoChois that carries them
Can you help with the yonsei books? I’m struggling to find which book to get to start with, I see 2 level 1?? 😭
i've been looking into those and i think you should start with the 1-1 first!
i think china is more good for study

I think I’m going into intermediate I’m just worried about how I would sound(I’m not that confident in how I sound when I speak Korean to myself)😅
Is there any way of getting the Yonsei Korean books in the states? I can’t find the ones you recommended
What are your most favorite k-dramas you have seen so far?
Hello, I was wondering which dialect you speak and why you chose it?
do you have to be a certain age to join language programs in Korea? Im 14 years old and have been learning since 5 months ago.. I really want to attend one but obv I'm a minor and cannot go to another country myself..
Any good Apps/websites you recommend to learn vocab?
