Hihi, I have the same thing. At the moment I couldn't understand really much of the beginner part. But when I learned Korean some time a go I was also very inconsistent and couldn't clasify myself either as a beginner. I could understand most thing, but still couldn't use the right grammar points or said things wrong XD
@@azukacharity2697 You just have to practice diligently. I'll list a few of my own resources, but you should pick what works for you after testing your options out. Total beginner: Learn hangul first and avoid romanization when learning - RUclips videos to learn to read hangul (the Korean alphabet) - I bought a book ("The Little Prince") in Korean and used that to slowly read. I wasn't good at all at the beginning, but now my reading level is a lot faster even if I don't have the vocabulary bank to understand a majority of the novel. This totally isn't necessary, but I really wanted to be able to read quickly. - Another option besides books to practice reading is using RUclips! I used to love watching Running Man, so I would watch episodes and since Korean shows often put sentences and words on the screen, I would practice reading those. Beginner to Intermediate: - TTMIK - the books are my go-to, but I also use their youtube videos and podcasts - Go Billy - he has a whole playlist of beginner words and grammar tips. I've recently been working my way through that beginner playlist despite knowing a lot of the material by now. It's a good refresher even for intermediate learners, anyways. - How To Study Korean - this website is THICK with information and gives you vocabulary to study, as well. It's a very good resource that has quizzes and unit tests all for free. I use this and TTMIK's stuff most often for my own studies. - Movies/Dramas/Music - I mostly use these to just listen to the language as many shows don't use natural Korean. Variety shows are better to use for natural Korean, but they are also spoken at a faster rate. I'm somewhere between upper beginner and intermediate as I'm able to get the gist of the story in Intermediate level but there are a few terms I'm not familiar with. There's a lot I don't know, but considering I'm self-studying between functioning as a working adult, I'm doing okay. If you can find a study group, that's great; but it's also totally doable on your own. You just have to put forth time and effort. Don't be afraid of talking aloud to yourself or trying to form sentences. Mistakes are okay, too. I often try to talk to myself as practice and end up a grammar mess, but it's the effort that will eventually help my fluency. Good luck!! :)
I feel like the advanced was easier to understand than the intermediate; the filler words and some expressions sounded more natural at the advanced level so it felt more natural to listen to and easier to understand.

Hey its same..I think I'm beginner level but.. In beginner speak too much formal way and in advanced level so many natural phrases for understanding. So, yeah.
wow, Intermediate was much easier than I expected; I only missed the odd word here and there. I also think the advanced level was much easier than the everyday Korean I hear most days when I'm hanging out with my Korean friends. Also, I think my comprehension was scaffolded from having heard the same story at the relatively easy intermediate level. Anyway, this was a VERY cool experience.
The buildup from beginner to advanced seemed really helpful! I was missing a couple words in the intermediate level, but it was still okay to follow along. 이 영상을 이렇게 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다!

(I am still at the Beginner level but can understand the other levels as well but not as much🥲) Thank you for the amazingly helpful contents, as always! Looking forward to more of these!🖤
yeah same lol. i only did learn how to read the Hangul characters. and picked some words as i listen to korean songs and watch kdramas. although i didn't exactly understand the whole thing, i did catch up the meanings of some of the words separately. my problem rn is only the vocabulary lol, i keep forgetting new words that i learn
ive been watching/listening to kpop kdramas kvariety for the past 17 years and i can listen/speak korean quite well. however i think my listening is much better than my spoken because i could totally understand the advanced level but no way i could speak such standards on my own haha

I don’t know why but the intermediate level for me was more easier than the beginner level lol. Great video btw, I could start learning Korean because of you guys and it’s really awesome! 정말 감사합니다! 절대 포기하지마세요 💜
It was strange 🤣 I understood some sentences in beginner, intermediate and advanced but I need to practice more listening, please make a video about listening tips for practicing 😭 고마워요 TTMIK! By the way, 이야기 너무 재미있어요 🤣🤣🤣
3:20: 신이 나서 *도로를* … ( after being leaving excitedly, Cherry went to the road 도로= road) 4:31: 실제로 겪은 일이에요 (something that she actually experienced 실제로= actually 겪다= experience 일이=something) 4:42: 지르*더래요* 4:51: 주위를 (around) 5:05: 신나서 도로를 이리저리 (이리저리 이것저것 같은 뜻이야) 5:19: 발만 *동동* (stamp one’s feet) 5:24: *상태*로 울기 *직전이*었어요 (she was almost crying 상태=being at the state that 직전= right before) 5:31: 상황을 (situation) 5:42: 목줄을 채우고 (fasten the leash) 6:02: 흥미진진하게 (excitedly) I’m surprised I was able to catch must of all of them, but still there’s so much I can learn from Korean, I took notes of the words I didn’t understand and I’m making my own translations Thank you so much ttmik for all the content and what a nice story, the same happened to my neighbor’s dog, sadly it didn’t survived… but I’m happy 승완 씨 saved 체리 😊
승완 was going to work, but in the middle of the street he saw that someone was screaming “체리!”towards the road. Then he noticed there was a dog in between the passing cars, it was a really dangerous situation and he went to the road, embraced the dog and returned it to the owner. Some brave act he did

It's so funny how the advanced was so much easier for me to understand than the beginner or intermediate. It sounds so much more fluid and natural and I was able to pick up and understand so much more of it. :0
Listening is my weakness... I can read and write a lot but listening is the hardest part for me. But I could understand a lot until intermediate level without subtitles and I'm happy for that. I also took the test recently and I'm level 8. Love Ttmik content! 고마워요! 저는 더 열심히 공부하겠습니다!
It’s so easy to read if you look up a video how to read Quran you’ll learn in a day it’s not like Chinese in Japanese that’s way harder but Korean is like our alphabet
you have to practice listening while reading so you get use to the way words sound and your brain associates that sound with what you read also that helps improving a lot your reading speed
i feel so happy being able to understand all of the intermediate level (except for one word hehe) ive been in a slump lately and being able to ‘see my progress’ through this video is really motivating
I haven't been actively studying Korean but was able to understand it all till the end. SO proud of myself because I personally thought I would only understand the beginner level. But it turns out that I know a lot more Korean than I think
This is so helpful! This video teaches so many things at once - listening, reading, how to express the same thing in different ways/levels, sentence structure, etc. 😄 이 영상을 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다! 저처럼 한국어를 배우는 사람들에게 많이 도움이 되는 것 같아요. 앞으로 비슷한 영상을 계속 만드시 길 바라요. ㅋㅋ
I started from the advanced level to see if I could understand straight away and I did but only by reading the subtitles, I still have to improve my listening comprehension, but still I'm so happy! 😆 And the story was really fun hahaha
Woaaaah, i understood the intermediate one comfortably!! And i didn't even consider myself a beginner before this🙈🙈 thanks a lot!!! Hope I'm able to learn till advance soon
I didn’t understand much the first time, but after looking up some verbs, I understood it pretty well. Thank you for this, this was a pretty cool idea!! ^^
the fact that I understood the whole three levels but I can never read hangul. I've been watching and listening to things in Korean, but I don't know when will I learn to write and read...... but this video encouraged me to do so thanks.
I changed the order I listened to it and did advanced first, then intermediate and beginner (I wanted to see how much I could comprehend without knowing the context). I could understand the story and most of the words through the advanced version, then the intermediate completely. Thank you, this was really useful!
Woah I understand way more than I expected! This was so motivational and the Korean subtitles are super helpful for the stuff I couldn’t catch! A full series of this would make great practice for TOPIK longer listening questions! Thank you so much!
This one is really amazing.. I could completely understand till intermediate level but i think i missed some words in advance level, but the story was same so i can completely understand what are talking about. So, now i will definitely visit your website and will have level test. Thanks for your hardwork😊
i understood it all except for some words in the advanced level hehehe but i agree with this comment from Baewooneun Saram (배우는사람) saying, "Could you put the advanced version first and the beginner version at the end? Since I understood what the story was in the first version, I don't know if I could have understood the third version without the context I already had." i learned how to write and speak in Korean through watching a lot of K-Dramas and K-Variety Shows (mostly Running Man) since 2014. i love your channel! :D
I revisited this video and I am surprised how comfortable the intermediate level felt now. It is the confidence boost I needed because I've felt stagnant lately.
I'm somewhere in between intermediate and advanced....very helpful, I was imagining all of it in my head, very fun. Please make these kinds of videos more often.
I definitely need to improve my listening skills... There is so much I didn't understand even though I'm probably an intermediate in reading and writing I will continue practicing with you guys!!!
This was so much fun!! :) What a cool idea... I think I understand 'Intermediate' level the best, but the few parts/words I couldn't understand in it, I understood in the 'Advanced' level version! XD It would be really cool if you could do longer videos like this, but with breaking down the individual grammar & vocabulary points for each level! (I can understand the sentences when I hear them, but struggle at putting them together myself 😭😩) Thanks to all of you for the AMAZING hard work you always put into your content!! Love you guys 🥰🥰 (ooh, and thanks for adding the Korean subtitles too! Very helpful :))
Reading all these comments of people understanding...it's hard not to feel demotivated. I thought I was at a beginner level but my vocabulary is nowhere near this 😔 I know I need to put a lot more effort into actively learning Korean, and I am proud of my progress, but woah...this video put into perspective just how FAR I have to go. I wasn't going to leave a comment but I thought someone else might find it comforting. I was a little overwhelmed by everyone saying how well they understood. You're not alone if you really struggled 😂💚
@@youknowbts5838 this is a such a sweet, encouraging reply. Thank you so much 😭 Yes, I use flashcards and they're very helpful for remembering! I think I'm just not necessarily always learning the right things. I don't have a lot of structure to my studying and think I need to get back to working with my TTMIK book. Wow...as a native English speaker, Korean grammar feels very different 😂 It's fun though! I love conjugating verbs haha. Thank you so much again! This is my first time learning a new language properly and I guess I just need to keep going! 화이팅 💜 (I'm Army too btw!)
@@youknowbts5838 it's easy. Just watch Korea drama and idol vlive for years. Then take 1/2 level of Korea lessson. Then no more subtitles needed anymore unless for certain drama with really deep usage of language
the fact that i understand the advance better than the beginner makes me really happy and excited. been trying to learn hangul since 2015 but been inconsistent since then so i tried to watch a lot of documentaries and variety shows without sub and watch it again but with a sub and make sure that i did really understand what was happening. and i think i kinda pick up a lot more better that way. but i can understand well i just cant seem to learn to construct a sentence
It was really weird for me. The beginner one was easy and intermediate too BUT I understood most of the story in the advanced part even though I was missing a lot of words…. ( maybe I wouldn’t have understood a lot if I didn’t know part 1 and 2 🤔) It was like puzzle coming together through the 3 parts. Anyone else had that experience?
I think would be great test for the viewers if she tells the story without actions because it kinda gives away the meaning of the words and it helps me to connect the story easier. But this is a great practice video!
suddenly this vid apeared by yt recommendation and i dont know what to say. i understood like most of it. my years of watching kdrama has been paid for like, if you still cant understand a simple korean after a decade of watching k-contents you can step on the sun
The advanced is so much easier to understand, I don’t quite know why, there are two or three expressions I didn’t get but I got to understand them based on the context, thank you so much tho!
The fact that I never studied korean before but still understood the hardest level completely is really nice... I guess all the kdrama and entertainment shows I watched really helped 😁
the build up from beginner to advanced level really helps, I miss a few words in advanced but i can understand from the whole context and the expressions. please please make this a regular content
I understood the beginner level, but I have problems with memorizing vocabulary so I understood the complete story even tho I didn't know some terms and verbs.
The fact that I had completed Korean to an advanced level in university (not in Korea, in Australia, highly don't recommend*) before, but was inconsistent with practice over the last 2 years has made me sad that I had forgotten a lot of Korean when I was conversing with some Korean friends recently. But after listening to this video I'm surprised I understood 95% of what was going on. I do know that I'm weak at forming sentences and that listening and speaking are completely different. BUT THIS GIVES ME THE MOTIVATION TO BE MORE CONSISTENT AND REACH A BETTER FLUENCY THIS YEAR ❤️✨ ~* I recommend getting a private tutor or joining classes over tertiary learning for languages based on my own experiences
omg i haven't studied korean properly in about two years? I've only chatted casually with korean friends here and there, so i didn't think i'd do well since the last time i studied, i was at the beginner's level. but i surprisingly can understand intermediate perfectly? and advance about maybe 50%? i feel kinda proud, especially since i haven't rlly been actively listening korean to learn for two years!
One times I watched video in Korean without realizing it didn't have any subtitles. Well thank too pandemic, Im just at home watching korean shows all the time.
I was really confident in myself when I saw this, I thought that beginner and intermediate were going to be easy enough for me to understand with my level at the moment. I feel so disappointed now because I barely understood the beginner's part. Not because I didn't get the words said, but because I wasn't able to elaborate de entire sentences correctly in my head, so I got lost and confused very quickly. Well, I need to keep studying and listening, I guess.
I haven't been studying korean for like many months now, that I didn't even consider myself as a beginner anymore until I saw this 😂 I'm so glad I still remember some of the things I learned a long time ago.
TRANSLATION Beginner Dahye was going to work, but someone was saying 'Cherry! Cherry!' Dahye was surprised. Dahye thought, 'What's going on? Who is Cherry?' Dahye looked to the side. A girl was running fast. In front of the girl was a very big dog that was running fast. The girl was following the dog. Cherry was the name of that dog. Cherry was going onto the road. There were also many cars. It was very dangerous. Then, a man went to Cherry. The man held Cherry and waited for the girl. The girl came. The girl said, 'Thank you, thank you!" and took Cherry. Dahye thought, 'Wow, that man is cool.' Dahye arrived at work, and told this story to her Talk To Me In Korean peers. Seunghwan also arrived at work. Seunghwan said, 'Wow! I just caught a big dog on the road.' Intermediate This was a few months ago. Dahye was going to work, but someone was shouting 'Cherry! Cherry!' on the street. Dahye was really surprised. 'Who is Cherry?', she thought as she looked to the side, and some girl was running, and in front of the girl was a big dog. It seemed like Cherry was the dog's name. Cherry was excited and was running on the road. It ran between cars. The girl, who saw this, was so surprised that she was about to cry. Then, a man who was passing by stopped, and went near Cherry and waited. Cherry went to the man and the man held Cherry. During that time, the girl went to Cherry, and safely took Cherry away. She also thanked the man. Dahye, who saw this, thought the man was really cool. Dahye arrived at work, and told this story to her Talk To Me In Korean peers. Everyone found the story interesting/fun. Then, Seunghwan also arrived at work, and Seunghwan said, 'Wow! I just some dog that was escaping.' Advanced This is a real incident that happened to Dahye while going to work a while ago. Dahye was walking on the street, but someone was suddenly shouting 'Cherry! Cherry!'. Dahye was really surprised and thought, 'What? Who is Cherry? What is this?' while scanning her surroundings. Then, some girl was running really fast, and in front of her was a big dog that was excitedly running to and fro on the road. Wow, but cars were passing by and seemed really dangerous. Dahye also wanted to help but it was took dangerous and scary so she just anxiously stood there. The girl was in a panicked state and was about to cry. Then, a man who was walking in front of Cherry saw the situation and stopped in his tracks and waited for Cherry. He waited for Cherry to come to him and then held Cherry tight. Seeing that, the girl ran to them and put the leash on Cherry, and kept thanking the man. Dahye thought that man was really amazing, and Dahye arrived at the office and told people about this story. Everyone listened with fascination and thought the man was really cool. After that, Seunghwan also arrived at work, and Seunghwan said this. "Wow, I just caught some big dog that escaped on the road."
This was really helpful! I understood the beginner level and most of the intermediate, I understood about 60% of the advanced! Please make this a series!
13 years of Korean dramas and Korean movies made me pass every level with flying colors... I guess I Won't have much communication issue when I travel to South Korea 💜💃 yay.
The advanced version is much more easier to comprehend than the other 2. The nuance, the way of talking and sentence endings that are usually used in daily conversation make me quickly get into the story while that in the beginner level was quite scattered.
I thought I couldn’t even understand beginner part but I could understand 90 percent of advanced I can’t believe watching kdramas has made me learn this much without taking any classes or reading a book
Tbh i understood every level but i personally prefer the advanced level over the intermidiate one because it sounds pretty much like the standard formal spoken korean . Stay happy and healthy
, as someone who loves to watch k-drama...seems like the advanced level is easier to understand because it sounded more natural. A very helpful video! Thank you for giving me motivation 🙏🏻
What can be understood in beginner can be understood in intermediate too. What cannot be understood is still the same. Most probably is due to vocabulary
I used to learn korean 2-3 years ago with native speaker and the fact that I understad the whole story makes me happy and i think I'm going to start my lessons again.
Woah!! You may not believe me but I didn’t understand much in the beginner part...but I almost completely understand the last two parts I was so stunted I’m felling proud I feel like maybe all the effort is really paying off and I just didn’t notice before. Thanks for working so hard and helping us to learn this beautiful language!!!! ^^
wow !! this is a very good content! I can understand the whole story and I'm so proud of myself lol.. looking forward for more 1 mnt Korean listening tests!
I understood all of it, but I understood the more advanced levels faster because they used more common natural sentences and words which i'm more familiar hearing in everyday korean and in media, the beginner level reminded me of being back in school and reading the workbooks.
Actually I understood beginner level and intermediate too but not advance.... I got to know my level because of this and I also got to learn new vocabulary. Really helpful!!!!!

It's a double edged choice i think. Because it could discourage beginners. Either way, someone will end up having to click around.
You can choose to play the versions in any order you like. Just click on the right place in the clip.
Never learned Korean, only watch Korean shows and dramas for more than 10 years, understand most of advanced level! Very familiar with the words and tone, so easily understand the general meaning without grammar. Feel so good!

추천영상에 떠서 들어왔어요 항상 한국인 입장에서 영어만 듣다가 외국인이 듣는 한국어는 이런느낌이군여 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 신기하고 색다른 경험이네요:) ㅋㅋ
발음 넘 좋으세요♥️ 잘듣고갑니당~
I don’t know why but the intermediate level for me was more easier than the beginner level lol. Great video btw, I could start learning Korean because of you guys and it’s really awesome! 정말 감사합니다! 절대 포기하지마세요 💜
Same! Maybe because the beginner level was too slow
Same for me. Sounds more natural speech.
Me too
It was strange 🤣 I understood some sentences in beginner, intermediate and advanced but I need to practice more listening, please make a video about listening tips for practicing 😭 고마워요 TTMIK!
By the way, 이야기 너무 재미있어요 🤣🤣🤣
3:20: 신이 나서 *도로를* … ( after being leaving excitedly, Cherry went to the road 도로= road)
4:31: 실제로 겪은 일이에요 (something that she actually experienced 실제로= actually 겪다= experience 일이=something)
4:42: 지르*더래요*
4:51: 주위를 (around)
5:05: 신나서 도로를 이리저리 (이리저리 이것저것 같은 뜻이야)
5:19: 발만 *동동* (stamp one’s feet)
5:24: *상태*로 울기 *직전이*었어요 (she was almost crying 상태=being at the state that 직전= right before)
5:31: 상황을 (situation)
5:42: 목줄을 채우고 (fasten the leash)
6:02: 흥미진진하게 (excitedly)
I’m surprised I was able to catch must of all of them, but still there’s so much I can learn from Korean, I took notes of the words I didn’t understand and I’m making my own translations
Thank you so much ttmik for all the content and what a nice story, the same happened to my neighbor’s dog, sadly it didn’t survived… but I’m happy 승완 씨 saved 체리 😊
Umm, do you know what happen I the story? I didn’t understand it and im very curious
승완 was going to work, but in the middle of the street he saw that someone was screaming “체리!”towards the road. Then he noticed there was a dog in between the passing cars, it was a really dangerous situation and he went to the road, embraced the dog and returned it to the owner. Some brave act he did

It's so funny how the advanced was so much easier for me to understand than the beginner or intermediate. It sounds so much more fluid and natural and I was able to pick up and understand so much more of it. :0
SAME LOLL
Listening is my weakness... I can read and write a lot but listening is the hardest part for me. But I could understand a lot until intermediate level without subtitles and I'm happy for that. I also took the test recently and I'm level 8.
Love Ttmik content!
고마워요! 저는 더 열심히 공부하겠습니다!
It’s so easy to read if you look up a video how to read Quran you’ll learn in a day it’s not like Chinese in Japanese that’s way harder but Korean is like our alphabet
you have to practice listening while reading so you get use to the way words sound and your brain associates that sound with what you read also that helps improving a lot your reading speed
@@Haileyrodriguez288 why read Quran? We arent here to convert to Islam 🙄
저도 영어를 읽고 쓸 줄 아는데 안들려요 ㅎㅎㅎ
I started watching kdrama waaaay before I started learning, so my listening is freakishly better than speaking xD
3가지 레벨을 다 이해했어요. 너무 재미있었어요. 선생님들 정말 고마워요 ^^
멋져요! 😆😆😆
이런 영상 더 만들어 주셨으면 좋겠어요. 그리고 제일 어려운 거부터 시작했으면 실력을 더 정확하게 알 수 있을 것 같아요. 감사합니다!
오! 이거 굉장히 좋은 아이디어네요!!! 저도 감사하게 좋은 아이디어 얻어서 가요! 😃
i feel so happy being able to understand all of the intermediate level (except for one word hehe) ive been in a slump lately and being able to ‘see my progress’ through this video is really motivating
한국인인데 한국어 듣기 테스트가 추천영상에 뜨는 나
I haven't been actively studying Korean but was able to understand it all till the end. SO proud of myself because I personally thought I would only understand the beginner level. But it turns out that I know a lot more Korean than I think
This is so helpful! This video teaches so many things at once - listening, reading, how to express the same thing in different ways/levels, sentence structure, etc. 😄
이 영상을 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다! 저처럼 한국어를 배우는 사람들에게 많이 도움이 되는 것 같아요. 앞으로 비슷한 영상을 계속 만드시 길 바라요. ㅋㅋ
I thought the advanced one would be harder, but I eventually understood every single word. Thank you for this!!
Great!!
I started from the advanced level to see if I could understand straight away and I did but only by reading the subtitles, I still have to improve my listening comprehension, but still I'm so happy! 😆 And the story was really fun hahaha
I'm so proud I understood the advanced version :') thanks TTMIK ♡
Woaaaah, i understood the intermediate one comfortably!! And i didn't even consider myself a beginner before this🙈🙈 thanks a lot!!! Hope I'm able to learn till advance soon
I didn’t understand much the first time, but after looking up some verbs, I understood it pretty well. Thank you for this, this was a pretty cool idea!! ^^
Same here, I had to listen and read, and check up a few verbs in order to understand properly, but still very pleased!
Same here 💕 (I’m between level 2 and 3)
I can't believe I could understand a huge portion of the intermediate level too 😭
Hooray! 😆👏🏻
for me intermediate level was easier than expected.. It felt good that without any english subtitles I am able to understand the story..정말 고마워요 선생님!!!
Thank you for the video! Could you please post the transcript or English translations (or is it somewhere on the TTMT website?)? :)
I've understood all the levels! I'm so impressed and proud, thank you for all your courses 😊 무척 고맙습니다~
The fact that i didn't understand the begginer one but i could understand the intermediate and advanced one. Leaves me speechless
the fact that I understood the whole three levels but I can never read hangul. I've been watching and listening to things in Korean, but I don't know when will I learn to write and read...... but this video encouraged me to do so thanks.
This is such a great idea!! Thank you!! I need more of this content!!
I changed the order I listened to it and did advanced first, then intermediate and beginner (I wanted to see how much I could comprehend without knowing the context). I could understand the story and most of the words through the advanced version, then the intermediate completely. Thank you, this was really useful!
haha nice!! 👏🏻
The fact that I’m comfortable with listening advanced part is make me exited.
The body language help a lot
Woah I understand way more than I expected! This was so motivational and the Korean subtitles are super helpful for the stuff I couldn’t catch! A full series of this would make great practice for TOPIK longer listening questions! Thank you so much!
This one is really amazing.. I could completely understand till intermediate level but i think i missed some words in advance level, but the story was same so i can completely understand what are talking about. So, now i will definitely visit your website and will have level test. Thanks for your hardwork😊
i understood it all except for some words in the advanced level hehehe but i agree with this comment from Baewooneun Saram (배우는사람) saying, "Could you put the advanced version first and the beginner version at the end? Since I understood what the story was in the first version, I don't know if I could have understood the third version without the context I already had."
i learned how to write and speak in Korean through watching a lot of K-Dramas and K-Variety Shows (mostly Running Man) since 2014. i love your channel! :D
I'm at beginner level. I started my first semester of Korean in January. This video is very helpful. Thank you for posting it.
I revisited this video and I am surprised how comfortable the intermediate level felt now. It is the confidence boost I needed because I've felt stagnant lately.
I'm somewhere in between intermediate and advanced....very helpful, I was imagining all of it in my head, very fun. Please make these kinds of videos more often.
I definitely need to improve my listening skills... There is so much I didn't understand even though I'm probably an intermediate in reading and writing
I will continue practicing with you guys!!!
high quality content as always, great job
Wonderful! Thank you so much!👏🏻
This was so much fun!! :) What a cool idea... I think I understand 'Intermediate' level the best, but the few parts/words I couldn't understand in it, I understood in the 'Advanced' level version! XD
It would be really cool if you could do longer videos like this, but with breaking down the individual grammar & vocabulary points for each level! (I can understand the sentences when I hear them, but struggle at putting them together myself 😭😩)
Thanks to all of you for the AMAZING hard work you always put into your content!! Love you guys 🥰🥰 (ooh, and thanks for adding the Korean subtitles too! Very helpful :))
Reading all these comments of people understanding...it's hard not to feel demotivated. I thought I was at a beginner level but my vocabulary is nowhere near this 😔 I know I need to put a lot more effort into actively learning Korean, and I am proud of my progress, but woah...this video put into perspective just how FAR I have to go.
I wasn't going to leave a comment but I thought someone else might find it comforting. I was a little overwhelmed by everyone saying how well they understood. You're not alone if you really struggled 😂💚
@@youknowbts5838 this is a such a sweet, encouraging reply. Thank you so much 😭 Yes, I use flashcards and they're very helpful for remembering! I think I'm just not necessarily always learning the right things. I don't have a lot of structure to my studying and think I need to get back to working with my TTMIK book.
Wow...as a native English speaker, Korean grammar feels very different 😂 It's fun though! I love conjugating verbs haha.
Thank you so much again! This is my first time learning a new language properly and I guess I just need to keep going! 화이팅 💜 (I'm Army too btw!)
@@youknowbts5838 it's easy. Just watch Korea drama and idol vlive for years. Then take 1/2 level of Korea lessson. Then no more subtitles needed anymore unless for certain drama with really deep usage of language
I think her name is Yeji? She’s so pretty omg
Ikr
We are here to learn a language not comment
@@Haileyrodriguez288 but when you comment, you support the creator so we can learn even more.
@@park_chaeyeonie5406 TRUE
@@park_chaeyeonie5406 I vouch
Fact that i could understand advanced level just by watching k-dramas and k-pop songs. I didn’t even study korean language…
the fact that i understand the advance better than the beginner makes me really happy and excited. been trying to learn hangul since 2015 but been inconsistent since then so i tried to watch a lot of documentaries and variety shows without sub and watch it again but with a sub and make sure that i did really understand what was happening. and i think i kinda pick up a lot more better that way. but i can understand well i just cant seem to learn to construct a sentence
It was really weird for me. The beginner one was easy and intermediate too BUT I understood most of the story in the advanced part even though I was missing a lot of words…. ( maybe I wouldn’t have understood a lot if I didn’t know part 1 and 2 🤔) It was like puzzle coming together through the 3 parts. Anyone else had that experience?
It was a similar experience for me too! I saw someone else comment that the experience might be different if the video began with the advanced part.
안 녕😝
안녕하세요!👏🏻
어머 안녕하세요 선생님 👩🏫
WOW!!! I understand even the advanced one.. the percentage of my understanding is 98% beginner, 90% intermediate , 85% advance.. 재미있어요!!
I think would be great test for the viewers if she tells the story without actions because it kinda gives away the meaning of the words and it helps me to connect the story easier. But this is a great practice video!
suddenly this vid apeared by yt recommendation and i dont know what to say. i understood like most of it. my years of watching kdrama has been paid for like, if you still cant understand a simple korean after a decade of watching k-contents you can step on the sun
really enjoy this section!! upload it more👍🏻!
i understood everything in each level, yey. Years of watching k-dramas were helpful
i like how you used your body to deliver the story because it helps me to understand it since i dont know some of the words
I understood till about 75% of advanced, gonna be there pretty soon I guess. 엄청 재밌었어요. 감사합니다 쌤!
The advanced is so much easier to understand, I don’t quite know why, there are two or three expressions I didn’t get but I got to understand them based on the context, thank you so much tho!
The fact that I never studied korean before but still understood the hardest level completely is really nice... I guess all the kdrama and entertainment shows I watched really helped 😁
the build up from beginner to advanced level really helps, I miss a few words in advanced but i can understand from the whole context and the expressions. please please make this a regular content
the fact that i kinda understood the story without even learning korean!! 4 years of kdramas seems to work
Please make more videos like this. It was amazing and i grasped advanced level so it makes me more confident now . Thanks a lot 😊😊
I had been working on my listening for 5 months now-ish and it's been paying off 😭 so much motivation to keep going. Thank you TTMIK team 🤩
I understood the beginner level, but I have problems with memorizing vocabulary so I understood the complete story even tho I didn't know some terms and verbs.
The fact that I had completed Korean to an advanced level in university (not in Korea, in Australia, highly don't recommend*) before, but was inconsistent with practice over the last 2 years has made me sad that I had forgotten a lot of Korean when I was conversing with some Korean friends recently. But after listening to this video I'm surprised I understood 95% of what was going on. I do know that I'm weak at forming sentences and that listening and speaking are completely different. BUT THIS GIVES ME THE MOTIVATION TO BE MORE CONSISTENT AND REACH A BETTER FLUENCY THIS YEAR ❤️✨
~* I recommend getting a private tutor or joining classes over tertiary learning for languages based on my own experiences
omg i haven't studied korean properly in about two years? I've only chatted casually with korean friends here and there, so i didn't think i'd do well since the last time i studied, i was at the beginner's level. but i surprisingly can understand intermediate perfectly? and advance about maybe 50%? i feel kinda proud, especially since i haven't rlly been actively listening korean to learn for two years!
One times I watched video in Korean without realizing it didn't have any subtitles. Well thank too pandemic, Im just at home watching korean shows all the time.
I could understand everything in the advanced level, the problem is that if I had to tell a story like this, I wouldn't be able to ㅠㅠ💔
Loved this thank you!
Im so happy that I could understand all of the three levels with no difficulty!!!!!!! Thanks to all the K-Dramas I watched😁😁
I was really confident in myself when I saw this, I thought that beginner and intermediate were going to be easy enough for me to understand with my level at the moment.
I feel so disappointed now because I barely understood the beginner's part.
Not because I didn't get the words said, but because I wasn't able to elaborate de entire sentences correctly in my head, so I got lost and confused very quickly.
Well, I need to keep studying and listening, I guess.
I haven't been studying korean for like many months now, that I didn't even consider myself as a beginner anymore until I saw this 😂 I'm so glad I still remember some of the things I learned a long time ago.
TRANSLATION
Beginner
Dahye was going to work, but someone was saying 'Cherry! Cherry!' Dahye was surprised. Dahye thought, 'What's going on? Who is Cherry?' Dahye looked to the side. A girl was running fast. In front of the girl was a very big dog that was running fast. The girl was following the dog. Cherry was the name of that dog. Cherry was going onto the road. There were also many cars. It was very dangerous. Then, a man went to Cherry. The man held Cherry and waited for the girl. The girl came. The girl said, 'Thank you, thank you!" and took Cherry. Dahye thought, 'Wow, that man is cool.' Dahye arrived at work, and told this story to her Talk To Me In Korean peers. Seunghwan also arrived at work. Seunghwan said, 'Wow! I just caught a big dog on the road.'
Intermediate
This was a few months ago. Dahye was going to work, but someone was shouting 'Cherry! Cherry!' on the street. Dahye was really surprised. 'Who is Cherry?', she thought as she looked to the side, and some girl was running, and in front of the girl was a big dog. It seemed like Cherry was the dog's name. Cherry was excited and was running on the road. It ran between cars. The girl, who saw this, was so surprised that she was about to cry. Then, a man who was passing by stopped, and went near Cherry and waited. Cherry went to the man and the man held Cherry. During that time, the girl went to Cherry, and safely took Cherry away. She also thanked the man. Dahye, who saw this, thought the man was really cool. Dahye arrived at work, and told this story to her Talk To Me In Korean peers. Everyone found the story interesting/fun. Then, Seunghwan also arrived at work, and Seunghwan said, 'Wow! I just some dog that was escaping.'
Advanced
This is a real incident that happened to Dahye while going to work a while ago. Dahye was walking on the street, but someone was suddenly shouting 'Cherry! Cherry!'. Dahye was really surprised and thought, 'What? Who is Cherry? What is this?' while scanning her surroundings. Then, some girl was running really fast, and in front of her was a big dog that was excitedly running to and fro on the road. Wow, but cars were passing by and seemed really dangerous. Dahye also wanted to help but it was took dangerous and scary so she just anxiously stood there. The girl was in a panicked state and was about to cry. Then, a man who was walking in front of Cherry saw the situation and stopped in his tracks and waited for Cherry. He waited for Cherry to come to him and then held Cherry tight. Seeing that, the girl ran to them and put the leash on Cherry, and kept thanking the man. Dahye thought that man was really amazing, and Dahye arrived at the office and told people about this story. Everyone listened with fascination and thought the man was really cool. After that, Seunghwan also arrived at work, and Seunghwan said this. "Wow, I just caught some big dog that escaped on the road."
이것은 많이 좋아 연습 있습니다! 감사합니다!
This was really helpful! I understood the beginner level and most of the intermediate, I understood about 60% of the advanced!
Please make this a series!
13 years of Korean dramas and Korean movies made me pass every level with flying colors... I guess I Won't have much communication issue when I travel to South Korea 💜💃 yay.
The advanced version is much more easier to comprehend than the other 2. The nuance, the way of talking and sentence endings that are usually used in daily conversation make me quickly get into the story while that in the beginner level was quite scattered.
영어듣기 평가만 풀다가 한국어 듣기를 듣게 될 줄은 몰랐네요. 한국어 배우시는 분들이 참 많다는 걸 느끼네요.
I thought I couldn’t even understand beginner part but I could understand 90 percent of advanced I can’t believe watching kdramas has made me learn this much without taking any classes or reading a book
I can't believe that advance was easier to understan! ..and also her body language was really helpful 🌺
The fact that I understood the Intermediate level more than the beginner level.
Tbh i understood every level but i personally prefer the advanced level over the intermidiate one because it sounds pretty much like the standard formal spoken korean . Stay happy and healthy
Love these videos 감사합니다 예지선생님
감사합니다!! 💝
i’m so proud of myself.. i thought i will only understand the beginner but i also understood most of the advanced!!! 정말 행복해요 지금 ㅜㅜ
, as someone who loves to watch k-drama...seems like the advanced level is easier to understand because it sounded more natural.
A very helpful video! Thank you for giving me motivation 🙏🏻
it was nice to be able to understand the full intermediate level , and to mostly understand the advanced too!!! these are so great type of videos!!
Great course, I learnt a lot from this channel.
What can be understood in beginner can be understood in intermediate too. What cannot be understood is still the same. Most probably is due to vocabulary
I used to learn korean 2-3 years ago with native speaker and the fact that I understad the whole story makes me happy and i think I'm going to start my lessons again.
Woah!! You may not believe me but I didn’t understand much in the beginner part...but I almost completely understand the last two parts I was so stunted I’m felling proud I feel like maybe all the effort is really paying off and I just didn’t notice before. Thanks for working so hard and helping us to learn this beautiful language!!!! ^^
I am korean language Intermediate student
Almost I understand all the advanced sentence
Thank you for this video TTMIK🤭🤗🙏
wow !! this is a very good content! I can understand the whole story and I'm so proud of myself lol.. looking forward for more 1 mnt Korean listening tests!
감사합니다. 앞으로 신 영상을 많이 보고싶어요.
I understood all of it, but I understood the more advanced levels faster because they used more common natural sentences and words which i'm more familiar hearing in everyday korean and in media, the beginner level reminded me of being back in school and reading the workbooks.
Hello TTMIK!
This is very helpful and motivating,
I hope there's a series or playlist like this:)
Actually I understood beginner level and intermediate too but not advance....
I got to know my level because of this and I also got to learn new vocabulary.
Really helpful!!!!!
cheer up~ your korean is improving.
