guys if your actual motivation if kpop or dramas ITS OKAY if it motivates you there’s nothing wrong with that ! don’t let people tell you what’s right or wrong
Agreed
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
My goal is to learn Korean so that in the future I can move there. I love Korean culture. Also learning new languages is fun.
Same
Same!!
saame
Me too...I'm part Korean to begin with, so I guess it could be part of my culture too? XD
samee
Does anyone else not know why they're learning Korean? Like, you just like learning the language because it's fun?
Me 😂
I love learning new languages just for fun but I give up to quickly😅
how do you stay motivated then?
I also😂😂 I 💜korean culture
I saw you say the exact same thing on a other video X.X
My motivation starts to dwindle when I feel like I am not progressing at the rate I'm comfortable with. I'm usually so focused on moving forward that I don't realize how far I've come.
Same here. But I also find myself struggling to completely comprehend how to properly place words when trying to form sentences. All I've been able to grasp so far is that it is not the same as in English. Which then frustrates me and makes me feel like I've hit this snail like pace in understanding and I've been learning for months now.
@@absurdashbee5988 I've been learning Korean for 4 years now, even if I understand 97%of shows and stuff I still feel like sometimes I don't know anything and just lose confidence and think I just suck at Korean, I'm trying to be more positive these days, and if I will give you an advice I'll tell you to study more grammar maybe use ttmik? They have good grammar lessons, you mentioned that you've been learning for few months so please don't be hard on yourself, focusing in grammar will solve your problem,😊😊😊 I hope you get better.
I have the same problem 😭😭
@@n_1913 Aw, thank you. I'm trying not to lose the motivation and just do random things to help at least keep some of the information I've already learned fresh in my mind. But it does sometimes feel like it's stalled a bit in learning because I'm just stuck in the sentence building part. I do utilize TTMIK quite often and it's definitely helped a little. It's just baby steps.
But that is awesome that you understand so much of what is being said on shows. Do you still use subtitles or do you get the gist of what's overall being said?
@@absurdashbee5988 I like to watch variety shows more than dramas and I try to watch them without eng subs, most Korean variety shows have Korean subs on the screen so I always keep my phone around for when I don't understand a certain word or sentence.
It’s true, I am guilty to say I stopped my classroom/textbook-style learning for Korean language because I “didn’t have time”. But here’s how I kept learning:
(1) I have not stopped exposing myself to the language! I have been feeding my brain with Korean people talking in variety shows, youtubers talking in their vlogs, finding kpop lyrics translations (and then complain how their translations are inaccurate) and lots more. I also like to sing, so I got really curious about the chorus of some songs, and study the lyrics. I learned so much from song lyrics alone, sometimes I used the lyrics to remember my grammars. Whenever I could understand an interview/ TV show without subtitles, i feel proud of myself. Then I feel motivated and watch more Korean contents. haha!
(2) fake it till you make it (Oral practice) Today, I was bored while walking to work, and started imagining a Korean person interviewing me about why and how I learned Korean. (P/s: yes I was talking to myself. Putting on earphones might help to disguise). I tried to tell my story in Korean and force my way through even though it may not be grammatically correct. I even used pause-fillers in Korean to think and beat around the bush hahahaha ! yeah I was bored and I don’t have anyone to speak to in Korean :( but role playing is kinda fun. It motivates me whenever I envision myself expressing my thoughts fluently in Korean one day, just like those people I have been watching and listening.
(3) fake it till you make it (SNS version). Some days, I feel like expressing myself in Korean. If I don’t know the word I will research and post the finished sentences as my caption on Instagram. Because I follow some Korean artists, sometimes I would comment their pictures in Korean (to practice or just for fun). But hey few days ago someone replied my comment in Korean. Idk why I got so touched, it’s like a small win for me. And these small steps make me feel motivated.
Loved this (especially the talking to yourself tip) and I thought I was crazy with the amount of mistranslated lyrics lol
2 is very intriguing I might start doing that since I keep making excuses as to why I don't journey daily. A "hands free" daily self interview in Korean might really challenge me.
thanks! you motivated me so much. i can relate to the things you do cuz i did similar steps to improve my english. i still talk to myself in english but it be better if i had this kind of habit in korean. though i do it sometimes in korean but rarely...
number 2 is working for me with english! i always pretend someone interviewing me about something when i am in shower hehe, then i'll look up for a words i didn't know after shower. maybe once i can form a sentences (i'm very basic in korean language;;) i will do that too!
These are also some things I do bcz I am still in highschool and i have to concentrate more on the studies I do in school. I have recently gotten my winter holidays so I'm trying to learn and also trying to understand Korean and how to pronounce the Korean alphabets since I already have the keyboard consisting of the korean letters
Think about
1) why Korean? Or other language,,
2) what's your goal?
3) make it part of your life
4) make new word meaningful
I need to think about my learning language too
Thanks!
When I was a teenager, I had this...lofty goal of becoming a court interpreter of an East Asian language. Most people want to study Korean because of K-POP or dramas, but I'm simply impressed by the hard-working, honest traits of Koreans, and got more into the idea of learning Korean by unusual things, such as Aegukga. The girl that attends the same level as me is really into BTS, and her spontaneity in how she learns Korean allows her to be much more fluent.
Difficulties in speaking spontaneously in Korean cause me stress. Understanding grammar is easier than actually speaking, because I always forget some key word.
That's awesome!!
애국가!
For me the reason I'm not studying it as much is because I am struggling with just retaining vocab. It's very hard to come up with mnemonics for loads of Korean words so I'm having to brute force remember everything so I learn at such a slow rate it becomes disheartening.
I'm feeling discouraged in that I've been studying a while and yet I'd hit a road block. I feel like I'm not improving.
I want to learn Korean because I really like how the language sounds and I thought it would be cool to be able to talk to someone in Korean. So my main goal is to be able to talk to someone and to understand them.
Gift Amethyst u should keep a Korean journal!! Try to write in it everyday or every few days. It helps build up vocabulary and you can see how much you’ve improved by looking back in it
I liked KPop before I became interested in Korea as a whole. It had me get into K-dramas and eventually Korean history and culture.
I was and am still initially impressed by how the language was made, philosophies ingrained into the culture, including Korean Shamanism and other traditional practices and ways of thinking. Naturally, people find it weird how I am learning about planets in Korean and the galaxy at large, cardinal points, plants, traditional music and ritual etc, among everyday speech. Eventually, I want to settle there and truly immerse myself in the experience, regarding the country and its people.
There are many more reasons why I am learning the language, and I believe I had lost my determination a moment there, so this video really helped. 감사합니다!
As ethnically-Korean immigrants, we lost the language three generations ago. So I am not learning new, I am just re-discovering something old with TTMIK ^-^ Can't wait for workbooks lvl 6 and 7!
I got B1 level in Korean because of BTS. They motivated me to study 😭they have really good songs that translation can’t convey...
I wanna learn Korean for multiple reasons:
1. I have some Korean friends and I find that I make friends with Korean people easily since usually most of the ones I’ve meet are pretty friendly so it would be nice if I spoke Korean too
2. I wanna eavesdrop 😏 Jk. Kinda. Also I really wanna work in a Korean store bc the atmosphere between the staff seem to be friendly so why wouldn’t I want a good work environment?
3. To understand Kdramas, Korean Webtoons and Kpop. Also to just be part of the Korean internet community and if I ever have any Korean products or I have to read instructions and descriptions I can understand them.
Lol I was just thinking about what to do when I don’t feel like studying hahahhaa
구네타 same here I was like ????? Ttmik listens to us
Actually am thinking the same.. 😂 Then suddenly TTMIK new vids notification pop up.. And even after watching it, am still hanging somewhere ~~ eottoke😭
@@dal_luna hahahaha ikr I got goosebumps when I got the notification
@@nfwari7399 trying to look for ppl to study with helped me but it's really hard to find ppl with same interests :((
@@gywnortega646 agreed!
The only reason why i want to learn korean it's because BIGHIT WONT GIVE US SUBTITLES until our death
HAHAHAHA BIG TRUE
Hahahaha same here 😂
If it’s a negative motivation, you’re a lot less likely to be able to stay motivated 😬
@@birdeynamnam you need to chill.... She's just probably joking around....
ohayyo how do you know I’m not chill? lmao
Why do I learn Korean?
1) Long time ago, I watched kdrama and it doesn't have any subtitles on it. I was so sad and I thought "if I can understand Korean, I would be able to watch this".
2) When the first time I listened to Blackpink's song, I watched the lyrics version, and it was so fast I couldn't read the meanings of it. And I felt like, "I wish I could understand the lyrics".
3) Korea, my dream place. I wanted to go to Korea. And I need to study about the culture, language, and everything about it.
4) I wanted to study in Korea!
I am learning korean because I want to understand and respond when BTS members go live on Vlive and because sometime I find full shows of BTS with no subs, I also think it would be cool to be someone who could speak korean because it looks kinda random coming from me lol idk
😂lagi Kang nakakonect sa adds NATO Jimin BTS
Thank you for the tips. My family hosts a Korean student. This is his third year with us. We are traveling to South Korea to see his family next summer. Having him as part of our family has compelled me to learn Korean. I'm over half way through level one. I dont always have time daily to study but I'm trying to incorporate time where possible. Your text books are very helpful! 👍
I started learning korean back in March and becuase I’m so busy with studies and having a full time job and a social life and other hobbies it’s in the back burner. I lost motivation! I want to pick it back up soon because it’s so much fun! Thanks for this video
These videos always come at the exact time I need them
I have always been interested in other languages and when I got into some korean entertainment I thought it would be cool to learn some basics to better understand what I was watching and listening to. I keep starting and giving up because
1) I am in college and I'm busy but I can make time
2) I have no way to practice with others and everytime I'm like studying or trying to work on pronunciation on my own, if someone sees/hears me I am instantly labeled a koreaboo and when I try to defend myself it only makes it worse...
I still want to learn and I plan to continue in my studies but it does get hard sometimes lol
I think Kakaotalk is a good way to find people to practice with. There are also specific language learning apps like Hello Pal and italki (though I use Hello Pal more for their free phrasebook)
Yea the whole Kboo things is really awful. As an older bts fan that term gets thrown around a lot. I try not to comment too much anymore and just focus on the regular cultural things.
I feel like forming sentences is the hardest part for me. Also, I never remember the words when I need them, tho I can confirm that it's the word I'm talking about when I see it... Does somebody understand?
same!
Same but also I don't care , maybe I am a koreaboo but also nobody knows my heart or my intentions and it's a learning experience no reason to hinder learning because of what others assume
100% me. The forming of sentences has been such a struggle. I'm 50/50 on the words. Sometimes I need to see the item and I'll remember the word and other times I'll need to hear the word to remember what item it is for. In order to help me remember, I put the Korean words of something on an index card and then put the English translation on the back and tape it to my walls throughout my house. Haha 수영 (swimming) is on my stair case. I see it then try to pronounce it and try to remember what it means then I check the back and make sure I got it correct. Each new word I get from KoreanClass101 in my email gets put somewhere on my wall where I can see it everyday. Now if only I could figure out how to place it in a sentence.
@@absurdashbee5988 that's actually a great idea! I also try to write my shopping list in Korean 🤭
@@_multimedia.girl_ Oh I love that idea! Granted, I loathe the grocery store it's still a good way to learn some of the basic everyday vocabulary.
Without judging others, but what I learned is: if you want something you don't lose motivation.
I'm learning, I began lessons with Mrs. Kim, too and even my friend began. It's cool, it's a wonderful language and I think the alphabet is much easier than our 😅
Today, I commented on a Korean video in Korean and I got replied to in Korean too for the first time (it seems like I blended in with the rest of the Korean comments). It was really satisfying and gave me a motivation boost!
I can't pronounce and scared that I'll be seen as a koreaboo 😩
What? Noooo.... Don't be scared! Just ignore those judgemental people!! Do whatever makes you happy! It's your life!
Don't let people assuming keep you from learning even if you were a koreaboo. I often think I border on asiaboo but it's a learning experience it takes learning and adjusting. Don't let others opinions get you down they don't know your heart or your life . Learning languages is fun. If it's due to liking pop culture it's ok it's still learning you'll get more educated and understanding through learning. You don't know how far youll come until you try
Ah don't worry, learning the language does not make you a koreaboo. Also, pronounciation is a little tricky, yeah but it takes time, maybe a lot of time but if you keep practicing it you will be able to pronounce it good soon.
thank you guys so much for the encouragement I really appreciate it!!!
also should I make a GC for those wanting to learn Korean, and we can help eachother out?
Set your phone language to Korean. You will be forced to be familiar with it
This video help me a lot. I admit i'm such a lazy person and lack of motivation but after watching him i want to continue learning hangul again!
My sole purpose and motivation to learn Korean is BTS 💜
Yes...bangtan bomb without subs and vlive
@@NM_kawaii yeah big hit won't give us English subtitles
Same here dear
That's legit.

I am just getting into a slump when I saw this video. Perfect timing. I have been fervently completing my lessons and revision on a daily basis until I lost motivation in the last 4 days. I decided to just give myself a break but mindful that I need to return to it real soon. I did that to my Mandarin and I never got back. So I am reminding myself that if I let the same thing happen to my Korean, all my hardwork in the past 2 years will go down the drain.
My motivation to learn korean:
1. I would like to work and obtain a scholarship for a master, it could be in Korea or another country.
2. I would like to teach korean in the future. It would represent an alternative job and I think it would improve my cv.
3. I take it also as a hobby. I feel very good learning it and I enjoy the rutine and classes in the academy.
4. It keeps me connected with the kpop music and doramas, and it helps me to learn more about the korean culture.
5. If I can't get a scholarship or a job in Korea, at least I would to visit it for tourism.
Being realistic about my situation (lack of money, regular grades in the university, 10 years and a half to finish my career, almost 30 years old, poor laboral experience in my profession, etc) maybe I would not be able to reach that dreams, I don't know if there is still hope for me, but I just want to try it and enjoy the process :)
Andrea Benny good luck x
Ahhh I totally agree with what you said!
I am studying Korean because I think it’s very interesting and fascinating and right now I have this goal of moving there for one year so I’d like to be able to understand ahah I am going to Seoul the next Spring for a trip but at the same time I’d like to start challenging myself and be able to say basic stuff.
I started being interested in the Korean language and culture at the beginning of this year when I discovered how good k dramas are (and later became interested in k pop too). I feel like I discovered a whole new world because I started falling in love with the language day by day and most recently I found out I can cope better with anxiety and depression when studying Korean so I think that’s good. Studying Korean daily makes me happy :)
I really love that you always pop up when I’m feeling frustrated with me Korean learnings and this video was just what I needed Thank you.
I listen to you at sound cloud it's really funny and I learn alot from you✨
I enjoy it so muchhh
Man... i even bought my TTMIK books but I’ve been procrastinating, saying I’m tired after work. Smh. I need to stop procrastinating 🤦🏻♀️
This is so timely!! I fell in love with the language and expression through kdramas and then shortly after because the written language is so orderly and elegant. I never thought about “why” I wanted to learn except feeling so at home with the warmth and heart of the culture. Because I’ve listened so much, the cadence and emotional expression are so known but, oh that vocabulary! I was scared off by “a million counters” too. It’s been 4 months and was so sad looking at my lonely TTMIK books that I finally picked them up again this week! But I needed something more tangible to hang on to so 감사합니다! 💕
I study Korean because it is beautiful language and I want to be a translator or Korean teacher. I learn a lot from you. 청말 고맙습니다 선생님. And plz wish me good luck for my Korean exam. Thanks
Thanks for these useful tips ! Maybe i could add one more tip. Sadly I'm a very lazy dude, but I still study korean for one year, every day. The only reason that allowed me to do that is because i use a method called "spaced repetition".
The basic function of spaced repetition is to memorize things "almost forever".
Principle is easy to understand :
- You will need a box with 7 compartments + a specific calendar (link below).
- Each day you write 5/7 words (or sentences, or what you want) on tiny cards, and you write the translated word in korean at the back.
- each day you answer related level cards. if you succeed, put your card in upper compartment. If you fail, put it back at level 1 !
You also can us this method to remember your girlfriend birthday, or why was Clair Patterson an amazing guy ;)
The main reason why i keep using it is because it's playful. Each day i want to learn new things, to put new questions in the box !
You can read more on the site where i discover that : "how to remember anything forever-ish" by Nicky Case.
Hope this will help you learning :)
Learning Korean is my hobby. I am trying to learn it by myself. It’s like decoding for me and it’s a revelation each time I understand more.You are a great teacher 선생님! 감사합니다 😊
Wow I'm early for once. Helpful advice! Goal setting helped me the most
yeah I had to take a break and I just couldn’t start again. I know I definitely want to keep going though, so I’ll use these tips to get on track again. Thanks
Thank you for these tips..I feel like giving up whenever I am lonely or having a bad time ..
But why does he look like and adorable anime character in the thumbnail 😂
this video gave me another push to re-visit my korean manuals. thanks for the encouragement.
Muchas gracias por todos sus videos y podcast. Realmente me ayudan poco a poco de cumplir uno de mis sueños. Gracias eres el mejor profesor, el mejor explicando. 감사합니다.
My reason is that I'm Korean but was born in Germany and my whole family is Korean and can speak it. I learned Korean for four years (until I was 8) when I was a child but now that I'm in university I wanted to visit my family who still lives in Korea and can't speak English or German.
Thank you so much i ve been in korea since many years but couldn't talk very well but today after watching this vdo i really thought about my goal and thought how to focus on learning ...thanks again.
thank you so much for this video :)
I had a phase a few days ago where I was not motivated at all to learn korean so i am grateful for this video. I will remember your tips :) I am a huge fan of your books. I already have 4 of them and i just love how they 'blend' into eachother. :)
I started learning korean because of k pop. I just love the catchy melody of them and the language is super interesting. now my goal is to pass the TOPIK test :) I would be absolutely happy even if i just pass level 1.
but thats a goal for me and i really hope i will be able to reach it one day :)
현우 씨 감사함니다.I've been learning korean with ttmik for a while. Learning Korean with you is so fun. 저는 TTMIK을 만나서 너무 행복해요. 💜
Your tips are great and are true to how I learned Spanish. I started with Korean, but went to Chinese because it seemed easier to learn/understand. I just love all languages, but speaking Korean and Chinese has been very difficult for me. I want to read Korean books... 😞 I have a long way to go. I appreciate your podcasts and videos. They are encouraging to foreign Korean language learners.
i’m learning bc i find the language very beautiful, i want to be able to watch shows without subtitles, understand what my ult groups are saying and i eventually want to visit and live in korea :)
Yes, we need input.
"Input! Input! Input! I can't make bricks without clay!"
I chose it because it is the newest written language, I'm older and learning is said to reduce the chance of dementia, i'm also a k-pop fan. I plan to start in earnest this winter when I can't get out and can learn in quiet, when the family is in another state for 6 months.
Always great lessons and always great inspirations
Thank you for this. I have purchased more than 15 books from TTMIK and at times, thinking of selling it since it is very hard for me to improve grasp of the Korean language. 2020 may be the time for me to re-direct my goal then.
Wow this came at the perfect time
영상 퀄 너무 좋네요 !! 앞으로도 잘 부탁 드립니다 !😍
Muchas gracias por los consejos y toda la ayuda que nos brindas... personalmente me encuentro en una de esas etapas en las que la motivación parece disminuir un poco, pero daré mi mejor esfuerzo para retomar con entusiasmo el estudio del idioma Coreano
I don't even know what I'm doing here as my motivation is reeeally good 😁 Anyway, thanks for the video! I'm currently struggling to learn 1000 intermediate words for TOPIC and the reminder to make them meaningful comes right on time 🙈😅
선현우 선생님 안녕하세요! ...1st tip check!^^ 2nd tip check!^^ 3rd tip check!^^ ... 저는 올바른 길도 가는 것 같아요. =) ...그렇지만 시리가 영어를 다른 언어로 번역하는 줄 몰랐네요!! 👀
I'm here in Masan Korea yet I have difficulties applying Korean words in my life. I hope these tips will help me to make friends and to communicate koreans.
I really enjoy your always pertinent remarks Thank you !
I stan hyunwoo sun
I became a bit unmotivated after a trip to China where I met some Korean tourists and tried to speak Korean to them... I almost couldn't get any words out.. Which was very demotivating. And have trouble learning it consistently every since. But sometimes I hear Korean songs and listen to how beautiful the Korean language is I remember why I am learning Korean. :)
I most love that you started out asking people to remember/set their priority/goal for learning; most businesses would give cookie cutter advice in order to sell more products. This is just another reason why I truly love this program.
P.S. You’re already getting all my money because I’m 100% committed and in this for the long run. Two new books arrived today!
Oh, and while I was listening to this video I was browsing Amazon for a new journal. Going to take the advice you gave awhile ago in another video and start writing a daily journal in Korean only. I’m partway through level 3 and I think I can handle that. 🤞🏾
thank you so much for your motivation Talk To Me In Korean 🙏🏻

It’s so funny, just recently our English prof at uni told us about learning vocabs cause she wrote a thesis on it.... she said you have to have used a new word at least seven times before you can remember it without having to think about it a lot... and also in different ways, for example reading it in a sentence, reading it with translation, listen to a conversation that includes that word and most important using it while talking in different contexts:) so the third point is definitely really helpful!!
what's also a good thing is ... put 'post its' every where ... you will learn words in no time ... put it on the mirror and the translated word on it or whatever on a shelf on a mug things you use daily ... you will always find your 'post it' and remember the word for it ... 😅 yes that's how I do it! 😜
my original reason for learning korean was just so i can watch kdramas without subtitles and nothing feels more satisfying than being able to understand for most part of what is said or talked about in kdramas or korean songs really^^ noticing that i improved alot keeps me motivated and i may not have enough time to actively study but because i spend my time watching kdramas i can still pick up quite some words every episode by either writing down or looking up new words right away
i recommend using onenote too to keep all your notes n such in one place, especially for pdf files (for example for iyagi) cuz you can insert file printouts n put the meaning of words next to the printout, for looking up the meaning of words i use the naver dictionary
reading webtoons (in korean) can also be really fun for intermediate learners and variety shows are definitely good for learning as well with all the texts you can read that explain what is going on or said but in short
picking up little by little is good enough fam, keep er goinnn we'll get to our goals eventually ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ♡
I am learning Korean because I like learning languages related to stuff I really like. Mainly certain foods. Also, to impress my sister's husband's mother (who is from Korea). His mother is really nice and was a chef (I absolutely *loved* her cooking). I bet she'd be impressed if I said a few sentences in Korean
I have just recently started learning Korean. And for a beginner, grammar and vocabulary are both needed together. You can't learn/understand one without the other. But every new word I learn in Korean, it seems very new. Difficult to pronounce and remember as well. Difficult as in, I can't feel it. I can't identify any part of it.
I am not sure if I am expressing myself correctly but, like English is not my first language too. I have been learning it from school. And while I am fairly good at grammar, there's always a lot to learn in vocabulary. But whenever I hear/read a new English word, it looks familiar, it feels English, I tend to pronounce it incorrectly(that's a problem with the language, you just can't guess it) but it still feels less complicated, shorter, easier to learn and remember once I get the meaning. It makes it easier.
But Korean words just feel so different, the sounds, the length, pronunciation, everything makes it seem like it is impossible to learn them. That kinda demotivates me.
Can someone tell me why is it? Is it because of the Korean language itself, or just because I am very new to it. Like, I have had English a compulsory subject all my school life and we learn all subjects in English too. Maybe the exposure or time makes it easier.
My motivations for korean are, the food, the korean zombie (mma) and, the music. I just want to be at a conversational level.
the best korean teacher ^_^
I have no motivation to do any thing .. I want study english Korean antomy ... But here I am sitting on my chair watching your video 👏👏👏👏
Now that I am finally in university, this video is the most helpful!!
I am so thankful of you guyses work. It helped me so much now when I started learning korean again here.
Yoooo. I subscribed a while ago but I never watched any videos. I’ve been using the app audio lesson things. It’s nice to put a face to the voice I’ve been listening to.
iam learning it because it looks easy and nice .... also, the words are looks like it easy to write and i am thanking you so much because i learn so much from you and you r making it more easy 🌹
I have many Korean friends and so I began to love their culture more and more! Also, I have been to Korea thrice and I fell IN LOVE 😍 seriously, I wanted to live there.
Also, at work, I encountered a Korean lady who was struggling with her English, so I bust out the little Korean I know and she was so impressed!! A few days later, she brought her Korean friend and said “look, this is the young lady that speaks Korean!” I was so embarrassed cuz my Korean sucks.... 😂
And now they both expect me to speak Korean hahaha. I don’t wanna let me down! This one’s for you, ahjummas!! Jk hahaha .
But yeah, there are so many reasons for me to learn Korean, so thank you for reminding me of why I should continue studying!!
열심히 공부하겠습니다!!! 감사합니다 😊
Thank you so much teachers, I got a Master scholarship in Korea, even though the Ms program is in English but getting know about Korean is really helpful to me, a Vietnamese student said :)))))
I have been studing for 12 months already! And Im still in Level 2 im scared I might miss something!!!!!
This is super helpful! 😊
Same!!!! Ive been studying for 13 months and I am in the middle of lvl 2
Unfortunately I don't have lots of time to learn only on Fridays or holidays because otherwise I am studying for school everyday for 14+hrs and I have no energy to learn anything else after 😢
Same!!!! I dont have time to study
I have to memorize our dances at school and I have 4 hours for class time and we go home very late! 😊
And Wow 13 months thats 1 year already! 😯
I’ve been studying for 9 months and I’m still on lvl 1 😭 I haven’t had time to open the book as much as I’ve wanted, although I’ve been on an exchange in korea to study korean there I still feel like I’m stuck / don’t spend enough time. I have a hard time memorizing vocabulary / verbs too and that makes me lose motivation tbh because I feel like a failure lol
You're not a failure!
I studied Korean through the app
And I make notes about what I learned. And Lucky! I really want to study in korea so I asked my mom if I can study there in my collage years and she said we will see! 😊
@@Miachiii lucky
my original goal was to understand kpop more and not have to wait for subs but now i’m thinking i might want to be a translator of some sort so- we’ll see how this works out
저는 요즘 한국 요리를 배웁니다. 김치째개도 만들고 불고기도 만들었습니다. 다음에는 제가 좋아하는 잡체를 배울 겁니다.
I used google to translate this but its not accurate, im would be glad if you could translate this. Thank You!
Thank you so much for this! Your helpful tips could be applied to so many situations where you lose motivation, not just in learning new languages. I'm still struggling, but I'll keep at it! :D
My reasons for learning Korean was so I could watch interviews and variety shows without having to look at captions. They often go by so quickly and it's hard to watch and read and also enjoy the show.
I also want to learn so I can be the unofficial translator for my family when we watch things in Korean.❤️
From now on I will associate this video and its ideas with the word 놀랍다. Funny that I always use the 깜짝 놀라다 or even 놀래다, but was not aware of 놀랍다. 감사합니다!
안녕하세요 my favorite teacher 🌹
Thank's for you're video, it's very important for all.
고맙습니다 내 친구 😍
these tips are great honestly
I have no one to talk so i think i dont have confidence on talking but i can understand now.
Thankfully, I don't have this problem. Just like how I learned English, I'm learning Korean by naturally acquiring it. Of course I had to get the basics down (reading and writing) and then I just made the language a part of my life by watching videos that *interest* me every day. I make sure I'm having fun with it. I'm not even stressing myself with the grammar. And although my learning speed is much slower than the others, whenever I learn something new, they stick better.
That's what is happening to me now, stuck in level 2. what makes me want to learn korean because I like the language the written and koeran is very popular around me. but i keep watching your video or other teachers and that's really really add my knowledge about korean, new word, new grammer, etc. i stop make korean diary for a month but i plan to start a new one next year with one word one day, one grammer one week. it may take long time to master korean. oh yes goog transl help me but it's not very satisfaction. thanks teacher! I love TTMIK "Make any word super meaningful." ABSOLUTELY AGREE!! it's the way to memorize a new word!
Thank you.. really needed it...I'll work on it tomorrow onwards...thank you very much 🤗
My initial motivation was wanting to travel comfortably in South Korea. I learned the basics and when I would hear someone talking in Korean I would say "I'm learning Korean, can you please check my pronunciation?" and try to talk to them in Korean. Koreans are so so sweet when you try Korean and they become so happy that you are taking an interest in their culture and language. I love seeing how happy it makes them, and so that has become my motivation. Korean is much too difficult to learn only for travel reasons if you want to go once or twice. Now, I want to go to South Korea long-term because I have really loved learning Korean history/culture/politics etc, and I want to continue to make Koreans feel appreciated and happy.
I wanT to leaR Korean cuS i looooooooooove Korea and Kpop 😭💙💜💫
I want to live in Korea that's why I want to learn Korean, it's an amazing country
I am a kpop fan but I never wanted to learn just because of that . Learning languages has always been one of my interests . I already know 3 languages that I can speak , read and write and I want to explore more . Because language increases your knowledge. It opens up a wide door to gain knowledge . Plus I am a writer and I love literature and always interested to read books in other languages
My main goal in learning korean because i'm planning to work as an EPS WORKER i passed the cbt exam but i failed on the 2nd round n now im still continue learning more and more and next year i will take again
My original reason why I started learning Korean is that I wanted to live/work there. Now I still want to have a job there but I now also want to watch kdramas without the need for subtitles. =) TTMIK has been my most used learning tool. Thank you very much TTMIK.
I want to have korean friends . I want to understand their language so it keeps me pushing my goal to learn more korean words...
I really need this now. I wanted to become a bilingual that I can use for work. 😭
It started with kpop, and then i did reasearch about korea history (i did a project in 5th grade on the korean world i failed it not the point tho 😂😂) i feel selfish to just learn a language to understand music, i want to connect with people and want understand their cultures,so i told myself we are going to learn it to connect and learn a whole new language. So far it's been so cool
To watch k dramas and get a korean oppa 😂🤣😍♥️
