Thank you so much for this video. I’m going to Korea for my undergraduate studies in February and I have to do a one year language program. I am currently an intermediate speaker in Korean and my listening skill is just average and this video and your other videos have really helped me a lot. I’m also going to use this method when I get to Korea next year 😊
So relatable...understanding BTS' lives is one of my fundamental motivations for learning Korean! I'm at the point where I can pick out some words and common phrases, so I know I'm making progress 😀
Thank you. Understanding was always the hardest part in any laguage for me. I think the study tip from 8:15 is what will work best for me as my goal is... to learn Korean. I mean dramas introduced me to it, but even if dramas should vanish (Please God, no!) I'd still learn because I'm madly in love with the language. I'm sure step 5 would help immensely. If only I had a Korean friend... For those who seek content with subtitles, I'd advise watching Jadoo.
Thank you for this video! I been noticing my hearing comprehension of Korean is by far my weakest point, but I also have a hearing disability, so I knew this was going to be a struggle when I started learning. So I highly appreciate this video!
I don't have a hearing disability, but still is my biggest weaknest is listening. Not only korean, but in all languages. It's a hell. I can speak, I can read, I can write (doesn't matter of grammar quality, lol), but I can't understand. It's so annyoing. And sad. And no fair, sic.
@@sunflowerproductions8259 Sadly no, because the hearing issue is more mental than physical. I used to wear earbuds and my teachers wore a microphone that went direct to them, it works in a classroom setting, but sadly not practical for daily life. Out in public I just have to find quiet places to hear people well, or nod and just let them think I hear them (do this more often than I would like to admit). For work I wear noise cancelling headsets to better hear on virtual meetings, which luckily all my meetings are virtual meetings. But there are benefits of my hearing disability, I have never once had a song stuck in my head, mostly because I know zero lyrics to any songs.
The most effective way to improve your skills in korean is talking with koreans who can't understand English 😂 you're just have no choice at this moment ~ and honestly, I like that because my mistakes in pronunciation, voca or grammar just stuck in my mind forever 😅 and nervous when you talking is okay at the same time your brain searching information as a Google "okay we talk about foods-> and foods vocabulary here~
Speaking of focusing on one type of content. I used to study Japanese and I studied my heart out taking courses in the classroom, later online, later moving to Japan etc. The bulk of my listening practice (for a while) was tutors/teachers and anime. I got pretty ok at understanding both styles of Japanese after I ton of hours put into it. I still couldn't understand "real" Japanese or just speaking to normal Japanese people who didn't have lots of experience adjusting their speech for learners. But I could understand anime so I felt gipped. Well maybe not gipped - I was frustrated. After many failed or partially failed or just many conversations where I struggled like hell it slowly got better. Basically, if you want to understand "spoken" Korean with normal Korean people you'll probably have to go out and talk to normal people who aren't teachers per se. I'd like to speach to normal Korean people but I'm starting to think if I don't up and move to Korea I'm just not going to get enough opportunities to really do it. dd
6:49 so proud i only didnt understand 여드름 ^^ i thought itd be fun to learn about my job (임상병리사) in korean but its a lot of english, not konglish, english! but i do know alot of random words like 원침하다 and apparently useful ones like 세포🤣 i just assumed 재생. 재 again 생 life.... but i only know 재 cause of when I wanted deathnote tickets and everyone kept saying 재관할도 주세요 ㅋㅋㅋ social medias my big teacher🤣
I love the way you're explaning 😂😂😂😂 really remind me of why i watch your videos when i first starting learn korean a year ago (cannot believe it's been a year 😭😂). It's entertaining even though all you do is just talking about resources & ways to study korean 😂
Tips: Watch kdrama, i have been watched kdrama since 15 years, i learn so many vocabulary thanks to kdrama and i even know crime justice vocabulary lol like Is there a corpse dead body? Are there evidence? etc i can understand it in korean and i can say it in korean. I have learned korean since 2 years, i can understand 45-50% of an ep of a kdrama. I also follow korean youtuber but korean pet vlog youtuber haha. And i also watch one time a korean explained a grammar in korean without eng sub and i can understand it
@@moontide4344 Claire luvcats she is korean and has 10 cats haha and do vlog with her cats with eng sub also claire do live too, Rupong she is korean, she has 2 dogs with vlog with her dogs too with eng sub etc
It's super hard to make Korean friends, as you know. lol I'm old and an introvert. But my hatred of going all the way to Seoul for appointments has made me wing it. Next time I get a mammo though, I should watch some medical videos. ha But I got through my two Genuis Bar appointments in full Korean. I'm intermediate level but my knowledge of tech helped me out the most with that one. Cause I just wasn't going to Seoul even though I'm in Incheon.
So! My big question from this is, "Do you have a way to get Suchwita transcripts?" Because I rely on the Korean auto-generated captions . . . which are better than nothing. I would be so excited to get my hands on a real transcript from an episode.
Step 5- talk to a native speaker THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP i feel like my Korean has improved soooo much because of talking to my langauge exchange partners
I know you have affiliate link for korean storylearning, but do you have the or can you add link in description for selecting different language bundles?
Hi! I talked to my contact at StoryLearning and they created a new link that allows you to get any of their courses at the $97 price! Hopefully this helps! 💕 storylearning.com/NataliaBF24Hub
I'm only 45 seconds into the video and idk if it gwts covered in any shaoe or for but a lot of people I've seen that got to fluency lived in Korea at one point or another. Do you perhaps have advice specifically for thosw that might not get that opportunity but still strive to reach fluency?
I had korean class in uni and i did like it and i do still have the interesst of learning the language, but i haven't done any korean studying since july, because i have other classes and didn't chose a 2nd korean class, but also because i am way to lazy to do it myself, what did you do, to not slack off and continue study?

I have the “link/connection” problem.
Could you do a video on some of the clinics that you have gone to that are English friendly?

원어민이랑 말하기가….좀 어려운데 😅. 제가 오늘은 도넛을 한국어로 주문했고 너무너무 무섭죠. 근데 제 가족이 제가 한국어로 주문해야 됐다고 계속 말했으니까 저 했다!
암튼, 영상을 만들어서 진짜 감사해요! Natalia의 영상들이 항상 도움이 된다!
Any podcasts that are good for begginner intermediate?
