- Learning a language is hard. Add onto it expectations (implicit and explicit) that you should already know it plus dealing with language barriers between family members? Becky understands what that's like.

AHH I was so excited for this video! I'm going to Korea for university this fall, and this channel was a big part of that decision. As a halfie, I sometimes feel like I'm literally just trying to copy Becky's life lol
Thank you for encouraging me to actually, like, accept a culture I never really knew if I was allowed to have. You and Cedric have been my literal coming of age mentors I wish I was joking
"Becky's Blueprint" could be the name of the book you should write about how you learned Korean, 6mins is hardly enough time to pass on your cool & interesting tips & knowledge!
I also have difficulties when learning other languages.
But I think the most important factor in learning a language is to have confidence. 😉
I’m not Korean but I’ve been learning on and off for several years now and not even conversational yet. I definitely need to keep disciplined 😅
I am a French speaker, who learned English and Spanish while growing up (French education system) and I picked up learning Japanese and Korean 3.5 years ago. A big breakthrough I had was understanding that language learning is a lifelong journey.
- For the languages that I already know, it's about expanding my fluency in different and/or new topics and being able to formulate knowledge/opinions about those. Even in French, my mother tongue!
- For the languages that I am learning, I had to let go of a certain pride; a part of me trying to show (to people? to myself? I don't know) that I could learn rapidly (also helped by the rather rapid learning curve at the beginning of engaging a brand new language) which would either fire me up (180 day-streaks) or demotivate me (180 days of oblivion).
I have to admit that I also kind of gave up - or better - accepted that I may never reach the level of fluency I have in French, English and Spanish in Japanese or Korean. I just don't have the time nor urgency to allocate more time nor resources to it. So I just keep going, slowly but surely, because I am intrigued by what each language is unveiling about its culture.
In my home country, we also speak a dialect which I never learned and that is not well, if at all, documented (oral language mainly). My parents never taught my siblings and I. Quite the opposite: they used it so that we would not understand certain conversations. Now when they complain that I speak/dabble in many languages but my "own", I gently remind them to own their inability to teach me as a child.
Thanks
That's by far the hardest language I am trying to learn
More than a year studying and I am still on basic level
But is so satisfying when I watch a Korean Movie and understand a sentence
Or even a single word sometimes
I just love how the language sounds
I remember exactly the moment when I decided that I wanted to learn, is when I was watching the 2008 movie "The Chaser"
This is a lovely video. Whether you're studying Korean or another Asian language, this relates so hard. Thank you and best of luck on your continuing journey!
Amen amen girl!!
Great video and, like so many, timely for my own experience. My latest word is 꼰대, which I think means "old dude" more or less, in a more stick-in-the-mud sense than other terms? It's a weirdly advanced vocab word for my level (which is still probably low-intermediate), but anytime I encounter a word which feels like it'll stick in brain, I write it down in a separate notepad. And this is one of them!
I want my Korean to be perfect especially because I'm so resentful of how my mom wanted me to be bilingual but was forced not to teach me Korean as a kid
It's so bad that I just sit there and resent this fact instead of take the time to actually learn it and I even take it as a personal threat whenever I see a non-Korean speaking better Korean than I do
That feeling is so real. It took me time to overcome that resentment, too. I had to realize that my mom made her choices then, and accept it, then make my own choices moving forward. There are many resources for learning Korean today than used to be - hopefully you'll find one that works for you one day :)
