I know people can learn for the reason they want, but I don't like seeing all these people act determined and give up within a month because their motivation was weak.
Seoul Ting my reasoning is because I’m going to Korea next year to meet a friend and I want to some day live there for a year. Korea has the most beautiful culture to me and I want to submerge myself in their culture and be with my friend.

I've seen lots of people saying "Korean is really easy." They are totally misguiding. But you are not! You are giving the right tricks and tips. If I want to add one more tip ... Trick 11. Be patient... You cannot learn Korean in one year or two... it will take you much more time, patience, and efforts. But it will be rewarding!
+Kim Thomas That's another good tip. I think if someone studies Korean every day for several hours really hard (such as while living in Korea), they could become conversational in 1 year, but definitely not fluent.
I do not know GO! Billy in person, but I believe he is guiding Korean learning method the right way. If your mother tongue is one of the Indo-European languages, learning 1-2 hours a day is not effective at all. Instead 5 ~ 8 hour-long a day for 6 to 12 months is much more efficient and effective than two-hour long a day 10 to 20 years. Most human beings, if not very dull or bad memory, he/she can catch and understand the grammar of a totally different language from his/her mother tongue, with in-depth full-time 6 to 12 months of study. Once he/she got the grammar, they can improve their foreign language very fast and efficiently. Without understanding the grammar, it's totally out of sense, or it would take way too long. Some Korean American says on the RUclips that the Korean language is really simple and easy, such that most people can learn it within a couple of hours or days. I understand he is trying to encourage people to learn the Korean language, but it is totally stupid idea if he is trying to encourage people this wrong way. I am native Korean and my kids are born, raised, and educated in Korea for last 18 years, even that they have been taking 3 ~ 4 Korean classes a week from their elementary to high schools, even that Korean is a still difficult language for them. Korean is not a simple primitive language, it is as advanced as any other full-blown human languages, and it's been used for tens of thousands years by Koreans. How he can say that it can be learned just by watching RUclips videos and singing along KPOP or just by watching K-dramas. I've never met GO Billy, but I can tell you he, GO Billy, must have spent unimaginably many hours and has been pouring all his efforts and energies to learn Korean language, and I believe he is still actively learning Korean, even though he already speaks pretty well. ============= Whenever I see some foreigners who speak Korean every well, I can see how much efforts, time and energy they have been spending just to lean a foreign language. I admire them. I know a few of them actually have talent in language learning, but majority of them learned his or her foreign language through countless days, so many sleepless nights, reading, thinking, trying to understand, practicing, speaking even to him or herself, murmuring and/or mumbling his/her new phrases to him/herself on his/her way to school or work. Even dream many nights in Korean. Those who did not learn a foreign language are apt to believe (or make believe) that they have the talent, but which they themselves not. I watched a few youtube videos who really speak Korean well. He said he watched the same Korean movie over 20 times to learn colloquial Korean expressions, which they can hardly learn from books. Those who are speaking Korean well or those who command foreign languages, not because they have a talent in it, but because they paid the due price for it. I believe GO Billy paid his price and won what he wanted, and wants to share his experience with others, but some cannot see the right way even if the experienced try to show it to them, instead they choose the easy or seemingly rosy one that never lead to the right path or trail.
Learning or improving vocabulary is life long process..., so is grammar, but if you have grammar, learning becomes much more efficient and effective, and a lot fun. You cannot speak Korean at all even if you already have Korean grammar. Then why grammar is so important? Grammar is not all, but it is just a part of this learning process. Even if you have memorized 10,000 Korean words, they are still useless unless you do have grammar. Grammar is like gun, vocabulary like ammo.
I am not saying grammar is all that is required to learn a foreign language. It is definitely not all, but a vital part of language learning process. Don't try to understand it all just within a few days or weeks... Grammar should be practiced through reading, writing, and speaking, again and again until you can speak correct Korean without thinking much of its presence, unconsciously. You may not think about English grammar when you read or speak in English. That's like you lived in the air too long such that you forgot its presence at all, but once you dive into water, you will badly miss it. So is grammar to foreign language learning process. It's a life long process.
There are many factors in how to speak Korean . One plan I discovered that successfully combines these is the Napars language learn (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most useful resource that I've found. Check out the amazing info .
@@meysamnaseri but... Billy's channel is entirely about Korean. It would be strange to upload a general guide to learning a language when he specializes in Korean. He also wouldn't know what learning other languages is like, so how could he make the title a general guide?
For everyone that says they have no Korean friends in the surrounding area there is an app called hello talk where you can chat and ask native Koreans questions amd get your sentences and mistakes corrected. And in exchange you teach and correct the language they want to learn such as English. Also it's free but I'm not sure if iphones would have it in their app store I know android carries it.
I've been learning korean naturally through the dramas for a while and have just recently started studying it seriously. I agree with all of these but I think you should add the tip of immersion. whether it's watching dramas, listening to korean music or actually living in Korea, being able to hear korean spoken aloud on a daily basis is extremely helpful with figuring out pronunciation as well as picking up new vocabulary.
Thank you! I've started learning Korean but I've lost the courage and motivation a couple of days ago, but now I know I'm on the right track I will study more. Thank You sooo much again!
You're pioneering a new style of educational video. It's a blend of learning with the traditional RUclips interpersonal communication that helps RUclipsrs appeal to people. Keep going!!
Wish me luck; I'm trying to become as fluent as possible in 3 or 4 other languages (Sign Language, Korean, Spanish, and possibly French) because I want to be a language interpreter when I grow up if the music route fails me. I'm going into freshman year of high school this upcoming school year and I want to be fluent in at least sign language and korean by senior year. (Sadly I can only take 1 language all 4 years because of no schedule room, so Korean, Spanish, and possibly French I'll be learning outside of school)
안녕하세요 사쿠라 입니다!!! I've learn the Korean alphabets two months ...now all I have to do is understand korean words and stop making so many mistakes :P...it's really hard because I don't get to use Korean allot since I live in Canada and I can't find any Korean friends -_-...the only time that I can learn words is while watching Kdramas :(...but I do understand a few things..my biggest challenge is to learn how to make good phrases with Korean words...do you have any tips for me??
Sisima13 If you can, I'd recommend that you try to find Korean friends online (there are a few apps for this, and web sites). It's really important to practice Korean while learning it so you'll be able to memorize it better, and to become used to using it.
Ohnoyoucanno..., don't worry it's easy to learn the alphabets, it only took me a few days to memorize them! When you get used to it don't forget to practice writing words with the Korean alphabets :)
i have been studying korean 3 years now and lemme tell you i was the same way but if you do start studying then force yourself to study you will get into it!
I have free time 24/7 and I use that to study Korean, watch Kdramas, listen to Kpop and watch videos like this about learning Korean or about the culture of Korea. It's been working out for the past month and I hope it continues too, soon I hope to find someone to practice speaking with online who's also learning!
I got your book on Amazon, for my Kindle. It's been a big help! I still haven't gotten into a good study routine.. I have 3 years until I visit Korea. Plus, I'm looking into classes to go to, to help me learn Korean even more. :D
Try to make some Korean friends as soon as you can. That'll be a big help, since using the language is just as important as studying. 3 years is enough time to become fully conversational in Korean if used well :)
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean Thanks! My grandma is Korean, so I try to ask her and try to talk to her in Korean, but I think sometimes she gets uncomfortable ㅠㅠ I'm trying to make friends with the owners of this Korean market. They're so nice.
타조좀비 That's great :D Also try to get some friends you can talk with on a regular basis, such as online friends. There are plenty of places online to find such friends.
I love how he tells you to use other sources. I'm currently studying while using his books, which are great, but from time to time I will use some of my other books or look things up and it just clicks when they explain it to me. Shows you that he is interested in having you improve and not just sell books. I love this guy! All his other tips are on point as always!
Remember everyone, a koreaboo is someone who completely disowns their ethnicity/nationality/race in order to “become” Korean. It’s not a learner of the Korean language or Korean culture. If a Korean person wanted to meet, let’s say, Beyoncé, they wouldn’t be considered a “westernaboo” just for wanting to know a little bit of English in order to communicate better with her.
I think that learning Hanja considerably boosts up your korean and especially your vocabulary, even though a lot of people interested in east asian culture and languages choose korean instead of japanese or chinese only because of their "lack" of chinese characters, those chinese characters actually make the language considerably easier to learn, I know about 200-300 Hanja's along with their meaning and pronunciation, and now most of the time when I read or hear a new korean word I can easily make un educated guess about it's meaning based on context and the Hanja readings.
I am a very slow learner... I watched different videos... And each time i get even more confused... I tried your video about hangul and I think it suits my pace... It gives a very detailed information for someone like me. I'm still trying to work on learning hangul before i start on grammar. Thank you for the tips.
Immediately intrigued when the opening for a Korean language learning video is played on by Merengue/Salsa music. Good tips though. I just started learning and, think it's important to start with their alphabet .
I do not find words to thank you. The GOLDEN RULE is to LEARN GRAMMAR FIRST then build up your vocabulary. Now I can understand HOW TO MAKE A SENTENCE. Thank you so much. 고맙습니다 :-)
1. Make mistakes 2. Learn grammar. Good grammar makes ur korean better than having a good vocabulary 3. Keep a schedule 4. Practise 5. Be polite 6. Be creative 7. Use multiple resources 8. Don't compare urslef with others 9. Don't give up! 10. Learn reading rules in Lorena
this is really helpful and I'm definitely going to use Your tips so I can learn korean better, the Post-it idea is really helpful thank you and this hopefully would help a lot when I take my exams in Korean next year.
Learning hangeul is a must if you want to learn korean, because the romanizations can be confusing. Also, hangeul is a very easy alphabet and it takes a week or 2 to figure out all 24 basic vowels and consonants. To learn the double consonants, the rest of the vowels and batchim, you need a little more time, because the pronouncation can be a bit tricky sometimes.
What helped me immensely is the Korean American Association of New Mexico here in Albuquerque teaches classes. All Korean teachers for several different levels.Also, the insane amount of videos on RUclips, KPop, K-dramas, and just having a drive to learn it. I always have some sort of Korean practice during the day even if it is trying to memorize a song or small parts of it. Naver translator app and HelloTalk also help a ton. And now that I've discovered this channel, this will be yet another tool.
Number 9 is so true. Don't compare yourself to others. There will always be someone who can speak better Korean than you. That applies do other things too, like playing instruments or sports. Don't let that discourage you! Just focus on yourself and your own process. Don't disregard your efforts. You're doing great!
It's better to build vocabulary before grammar. No one cares about perfect grammar. Hint: They know you are a foreigner and will try their best for you even at the bank! Most of the time any intelligent person will be able to decipher your "cute" grammar. In fact funny grammar makes for awesome ice-breakers and kids are especially good at this intuitive process. I can say "drink" and someone will know I want a drink. Heck I don't even need that. I could just gesture it. I did an experiment with my gf in Japan. We had dinner purely by gestures and had a blast. Hilarious. In any language vocab is king. How do I know? I have been living in Asia (mostly Japan and China) for 10 years and speak and read Mandarin, Japanese and Thai very well. I learned to read and speak Mandarin in weeks since I had a huge base of Chinese hanzi vocab thanks to Japanese kanji vocab. Korean is new for me but sentence structure is similar to Japanese and the methods to study Hangul are similar to Thai so Korean seems pretty straight forward for me. Vocab basically means adjectives and verbs so study those first.
Thanks! I've been studying, but I've been comparing myself to other people. I know it bad to do, and it is a habit I am trying to break. This video really helped cheer me up. Thank you!:)
I wanted to speak Korean fluently for the love of Kpop. I keep watching Korean movies, dramas and reality t.v. shows. I think it helps a lot. I did learn some basic phrases and all that. Thanks for the motivation. Two thumbs up.
Rosemarie Yu I've heard from so many people that that shouldn't be a reason to learn the language seriously apparently you grow out of k pop and such and you're left without a reason
I don't think it matters so much *why* someone learns a language, as long as they have *a* reason to learn it. Someone might start learning a language for a small reason, and develop new reasons to keep learning it later on. For example, I started learning Japanese originally as a joke with a friend, just so we could talk to each other during class, and ended up studying for about 3 years and visiting Japan several times. I no longer contact that friend, but I have dozens of Japanese friends who I still contact on a regular basis, and I would've never even started without that reason. Some people might learn Korean just to talk with a boyfriend or girlfriend, and then quit when they break up. Others might start for the same reason, but make friends and keep going, or discover other reasons to keep going. The important thing in my opinion isn't why you start, but how you keep going. If you've lost your reason, then perhaps take a look around and see if there isn't another one already next to you.
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean Good point I'm not trying to be discouraging or anything and good point its jusy what I've heard :D I'm learning so that when my exchamge student comes to New Zealand again I can travel to korea with him we promised xD
Im practicing and been watching that korean lesson comeplete video, its helped me a lot, i havent of course finished since its a lot of information that can not be a learned quickly. Im in lesson 4 currently. Heres what i know: •Four syllable blocks: 오, 나, 봉, 안 •Vowels: ㅏ, ㅗ •consonants: ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅎ Thanks for all the help!
Im native Korean staying in the states now. im taking his videos to teach some friedns of mine who want to learn Korean. It really helps. Especially the terms like syntax, casual Korean .... etc haha
NOOO WAYYY!! I ordered that book a few months ago and that helped me so much and made it easier on me. I just love that book and I use it everyday.I just found your channel and I just found out you wrote the book. Thank you so much.
I study korean for a minium of 2-3 hours a day just when I wake up because I love it. I use a text book called 'Elementary Korean' and I look up for some videos on RUclips. So yes, in the book the subject and topic particles were kinda confusing so I watched your video about that lesson and I understood now how they work. I'm a beginner though, I started learning this beautiful language a week ago and I find it more fascinating everyday!
I totally agree with the use of multiple sources. Im using different apps right now and they all have a different way of teaching. So it makes learning more interesting. My ultimate goal is to be able to purchase textbooks like yours to enhance my learning
Thank you so much! I've been studying korean since 2014 and it saddens me that I'm not yet fluent because I can't study korean much because of school works. But these tips helped a lot! And that last part "date a korean" motivates me so much since I'm a kpop fan hahaha!! Seventeen hwaiting~
+Austine Lee Don't worry :) 2 years isn't enough time to become fluent for most people even living in Korea. Hopefully you'll have more time to study Korean in the near future.
Korean is flexible language on the verbs and it'll be different from english. Grammar before vacablary would be help to understand how to use the verbs which make sentences.
I've used many of these techniques while learning Japanese and for me they work. But really helpful having this list because even though I use many, I hadn't really listed them and thought about them so a few have slipped. Going to apply this to both my Japanese and Korean study :)
i have one but we are learning korean together lol i actually help her most of the time so technically she is korean but she is actually american?? what am i even saying.
Thank you!! To be honest im struggling with my korean study. I will make it a habit 30 mins/day for 1 week and then will focus more in grammar. 너무 너무 감삽니다💕
This was helpful. Ive only been learning korean for 3 momths but i have a basic grasp of hangul and can say a couple sentences. Im also glad you mentioned uaing different sources at once, i use 2 apps (duolingo and learnkorean), yourself and koreanunnie on YT, i also use 6weekskorean who skypes from SK, and watch/listen to kpop. All of this helps me study👍
This helps so much omg seriously. You can see I’m a kpop fan hahah, learning the language helps me understand kdramas and of course my idols. Kpop has also gotten me into the religion/culture so I would definitely want to visit South Korea one day. Thank you!!!
I get my basic notes from a website, then I visit another one, look for the same grammar topic and add to my notes. Sometimes I even look for a youtube video, too, and get some more example sentences
And thank you so much sir....my source to learn grammar is your website and it is absolutely amazing the way you explain all of them with simplicity and fun...i really appreciate this favor you did for all of us...👐💥💜
I have a question bro. I actually can understand everything what you are saying in English but the problem is that I cannot speak what I really want to speak in lots of circumstances. What do you think is the main problem when you are learning foreign languages?
It’s 03:26am rn, I was about to watch a strawberry cake recipe, I checked this video first. Thank you, now my home is full of post-it with korean vocab ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
i played VRChat and there are so many people from Korea, i just learn with them eventhough i make mistakes they still understand and they will happy to help you. i suggest people to play this game and try to learn with many Korean there if you don't have any friend from Korea.
Thanks for the advice! I’m going to try to set my goal for a year maybe. I’ll try and reach my goal by watching K-Dramas, KPOP, and RUclips videos. I’m also going to try and make korean friends. 💜
2 Questions for you:Why did you start learning korean? (Plain curiosity.) 2: I study for hours everyday cuz i got a lot of free time and i like the process, but now that I've gone through literaly everything I could, I'm stuck. What do I do?
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean I thought that one must have a big reason to study a language that is only spoken in one country ~ And I have gone through some courses here in youtube like ttmik, seemile, but mostly HuyngSeok Song's chanel and website(amazing btw)+ pdf grammar guides etc. Practicing is writing random useless stuff everyday, though when I try to say or even write what I actually want, all the info in my head explodes and all i can say in the end is "meow"... :(
I think your practice might need a bit of tuning. Practicing should be using the language in real situations as much as possible - or using it in controlled situations together with a tutor/penpal. Instead of writing "random useless stuff," I think it'd be better if you could find several pen pals to practice with. Without meeting you personally or hearing you talk or seeing your writing, I can't judge your level, but it's possible that you know a lot of Korean but are only able to use a little bit of it. This is due to the way that you are practicing. I think if you can do that, and keep it up for several months, talking with penpals every day in Korean while you go about your day, you'll notice a substantial improvement.
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean I will try HelloTalk again then. It's obvious that mistakes are a big part of the way to learning but it is insanely difficult(for me) to actually accept that my korean is terrible in real life and go for it anyway. You're inspiring me and somehow giving confidence i guess.. ") Thank you >< You got a cool personality btw +1 to your fans ~※

For everyone that says they have no Korean friends in the surrounding area there is an app called hello talk where you can chat and ask native Koreans questions amd get your sentences and mistakes corrected. And in exchange you teach and correct the language they want to learn such as English. Also it's free but I'm not sure if iphones would have it in their app store I know android carries it.
Thank you!
I've been learning korean naturally through the dramas for a while and have just recently started studying it seriously. I agree with all of these but I think you should add the tip of immersion. whether it's watching dramas, listening to korean music or actually living in Korea, being able to hear korean spoken aloud on a daily basis is extremely helpful with figuring out pronunciation as well as picking up new vocabulary.
How's your Korean now
"Learn hangul first, it only takes a few hours and you will thank me later. "
Me after one month : *still learning hangul feeling stupid*
Thank you! I've started learning Korean but I've lost the courage and motivation a couple of days ago, but now I know I'm on the right track I will study more. Thank You sooo much again!
You're pioneering a new style of educational video. It's a blend of learning with the traditional RUclips interpersonal communication that helps RUclipsrs appeal to people. Keep going!!
Wish me luck; I'm trying to become as fluent as possible in 3 or 4 other languages (Sign Language, Korean, Spanish, and possibly French) because I want to be a language interpreter when I grow up if the music route fails me. I'm going into freshman year of high school this upcoming school year and I want to be fluent in at least sign language and korean by senior year. (Sadly I can only take 1 language all 4 years because of no schedule room, so Korean, Spanish, and possibly French I'll be learning outside of school)
Suerte!
I've been studying French for the past 2 years and Korean just for a week now. but don't worry, French gets pretty easy (:
How's it been going?
Hey how is your Korean now
update to all I'm a music major in college now HAHA but I am proficient in asl!!
안녕하세요 사쿠라 입니다!!! I've learn the Korean alphabets two months ...now all I have to do is understand korean words and stop making so many mistakes :P...it's really hard because I don't get to use Korean allot since I live in Canada and I can't find any Korean friends -_-...the only time that I can learn words is while watching Kdramas :(...but I do understand a few things..my biggest challenge is to learn how to make good phrases with Korean words...do you have any tips for me??
Sisima13 If you can, I'd recommend that you try to find Korean friends online (there are a few apps for this, and web sites). It's really important to practice Korean while learning it so you'll be able to memorize it better, and to become used to using it.
감사합니다!! I've found an app to make korean friends and learn how to Speak Korean...I hope it works :)👍
I'm also Canadian and trying to learn Korean xD it's my first day trying to figure out the alphabet x3
Ohnoyoucanno..., don't worry it's easy to learn the alphabets, it only took me a few days to memorize them! When you get used to it don't forget to practice writing words with the Korean alphabets :)
I started learning Hangul for a couple of weeks, I jus keep forgetting some letters and pronunciation like ㅡㅜㅓㅐ, because I've been busy. Any help???
i really want to learn korean but im so lazy
It's really easy once you put your mind into it
Same here
i have been studying korean 3 years now and lemme tell you i was the same way but if you do start studying then force yourself to study you will get into it!
@@nah469 woahhh. Can you now understand Korean easily..? :D
@@lovekatelynn Yes actually i study every day and it does help me understand more korean every single day!
I have free time 24/7 and I use that to study Korean, watch Kdramas, listen to Kpop and watch videos like this about learning Korean or about the culture of Korea. It's been working out for the past month and I hope it continues too, soon I hope to find someone to practice speaking with online who's also learning!
Update plz? Its been 3 hears since you posted this. Are you fluent in korean now
Just using Korean Pop won’t help you
or even date a korean haha i like this one more thanks for the motivation
Yes, date a korean like... Kai, Chanyeol Rapmon, Jeongkook, Taemin... I see you girl
+Sandra González Hito even Sehun , Yugyeom , Taeyong ...
Or Leo, Taehyung, Seungkwan, Suga..
haha that's what I thought lol xD
Sandra González Hito OR TAEHYUNG HIHIHI
I got your book on Amazon, for my Kindle. It's been a big help! I still haven't gotten into a good study routine.. I have 3 years until I visit Korea. Plus, I'm looking into classes to go to, to help me learn Korean even more. :D
Try to make some Korean friends as soon as you can. That'll be a big help, since using the language is just as important as studying. 3 years is enough time to become fully conversational in Korean if used well :)
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean Thanks! My grandma is Korean, so I try to ask her and try to talk to her in Korean, but I think sometimes she gets uncomfortable ㅠㅠ I'm trying to make friends with the owners of this Korean market. They're so nice.
타조좀비 That's great :D Also try to get some friends you can talk with on a regular basis, such as online friends. There are plenty of places online to find such friends.
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean Thank you so much! I'll definitely see who I get along with well and talk with them ^-^
How is your Korean now?
I love how he tells you to use other sources. I'm currently studying while using his books, which are great, but from time to time I will use some of my other books or look things up and it just clicks when they explain it to me. Shows you that he is interested in having you improve and not just sell books. I love this guy! All his other tips are on point as always!
i feel like a kboo watching this but i only wanna go to sk and have the best conversation ever with underrated groups at fansigns
wjsn supremacist
I feel you and wjsn, happy to see a wjsn fan is not common you know haha
The whole koreaboo thing always confuses me. If you want to learn Korean, do it. It doesnt matter what your reason is.
This doesn’t make you a kboo, Korean is just a beautiful language
Im doing this for bts lol
Remember everyone, a koreaboo is someone who completely disowns their ethnicity/nationality/race in order to “become” Korean. It’s not a learner of the Korean language or Korean culture. If a Korean person wanted to meet, let’s say, Beyoncé, they wouldn’t be considered a “westernaboo” just for wanting to know a little bit of English in order to communicate better with her.
I think that learning Hanja considerably boosts up your korean and especially your vocabulary, even though a lot of people interested in east asian culture and languages choose korean instead of japanese or chinese only because of their "lack" of chinese characters, those chinese characters actually make the language considerably easier to learn, I know about 200-300 Hanja's along with their meaning and pronunciation, and now most of the time when I read or hear a new korean word I can easily make un educated guess about it's meaning based on context and the Hanja readings.
I am a very slow learner... I watched different videos... And each time i get even more confused... I tried your video about hangul and I think it suits my pace... It gives a very detailed information for someone like me. I'm still trying to work on learning hangul before i start on grammar. Thank you for the tips.
Immediately intrigued when the opening for a Korean language learning video is played on by Merengue/Salsa music. Good tips though. I just started learning and, think it's important to start with their alphabet
.
I do not find words to thank you. The GOLDEN RULE is to LEARN GRAMMAR FIRST then build up your vocabulary. Now I can understand HOW TO MAKE A SENTENCE. Thank you so much. 고맙습니다 :-)
1. Make mistakes
2. Learn grammar. Good grammar makes ur korean better than having a good vocabulary
3. Keep a schedule
4. Practise
5. Be polite
6. Be creative
7. Use multiple resources
8. Don't compare urslef with others
9. Don't give up!
10. Learn reading rules in Lorena
I really want to know why you started learning Korean?
My reason is Big hit doesn't give subtitles, that's why.
this is really helpful and I'm definitely going to use Your tips so I can learn korean better, the Post-it idea is really helpful thank you and this hopefully would help a lot when I take my exams in Korean next year.
Learning hangeul is a must if you want to learn korean, because the romanizations can be confusing. Also, hangeul is a very easy alphabet and it takes a week or 2 to figure out all 24 basic vowels and consonants. To learn the double consonants, the rest of the vowels and batchim, you need a little more time, because the pronouncation can be a bit tricky sometimes.
I just got one of your books, it realllllly helped thank you so much 💯
Thanks for your support, and good luck in your studies~!
What helped me immensely is the Korean American Association of New Mexico here in Albuquerque teaches classes. All Korean teachers for several different levels.Also, the insane amount of videos on RUclips, KPop, K-dramas, and just having a drive to learn it. I always have some sort of Korean practice during the day even if it is trying to memorize a song or small parts of it. Naver translator app and HelloTalk also help a ton. And now that I've discovered this channel, this will be yet another tool.
Just ordered your book and corresponding workbook :D I can't wait to get them! Thank you for your videos!
대단해요! 영어배우는 팁이랑 똑같아요 ㅋㅎㅎ
Thanks. Will surely use these tips
I have all three of your books and I love them!
I'm just starting to learn korean :) thanks for the video~
7/8 years later but are you fluent now?
how is your Korean now?
How is your Korean now
You dont know how many videos ive been watching of your to learn. This helped so much, thanks
Number 9 is so true. Don't compare yourself to others. There will always be someone who can speak better Korean than you. That applies do other things too, like playing instruments or sports. Don't let that discourage you! Just focus on yourself and your own process. Don't disregard your efforts. You're doing great!
It's better to build vocabulary before grammar. No one cares about perfect grammar. Hint: They know you are a foreigner and will try their best for you even at the bank! Most of the time any intelligent person will be able to decipher your "cute" grammar. In fact funny grammar makes for awesome ice-breakers and kids are especially good at this intuitive process. I can say "drink" and someone will know I want a drink. Heck I don't even need that. I could just gesture it. I did an experiment with my gf in Japan. We had dinner purely by gestures and had a blast. Hilarious.
In any language vocab is king. How do I know? I have been living in Asia (mostly Japan and China) for 10 years and speak and read Mandarin, Japanese and Thai very well. I learned to read and speak Mandarin in weeks since I had a huge base of Chinese hanzi vocab thanks to Japanese kanji vocab.
Korean is new for me but sentence structure is similar to Japanese and the methods to study Hangul are similar to Thai so Korean seems pretty straight forward for me.
Vocab basically means adjectives and verbs so study those first.
Thanks! I've been studying, but I've been comparing myself to other people. I know it bad to do, and it is a habit I am trying to break. This video really helped cheer me up. Thank you!:)
I bought your book :3 it's coming tomorrow and I'm excited!
I wanted to speak Korean fluently for the love of Kpop. I keep watching Korean movies, dramas and reality t.v. shows. I think it helps a lot. I did learn some basic phrases and all that. Thanks for the motivation. Two thumbs up.
Rosemarie Yu I've heard from so many people that that shouldn't be a reason to learn the language seriously apparently you grow out of k pop and such and you're left without a reason
I don't think it matters so much *why* someone learns a language, as long as they have *a* reason to learn it. Someone might start learning a language for a small reason, and develop new reasons to keep learning it later on.
For example, I started learning Japanese originally as a joke with a friend, just so we could talk to each other during class, and ended up studying for about 3 years and visiting Japan several times. I no longer contact that friend, but I have dozens of Japanese friends who I still contact on a regular basis, and I would've never even started without that reason.
Some people might learn Korean just to talk with a boyfriend or girlfriend, and then quit when they break up. Others might start for the same reason, but make friends and keep going, or discover other reasons to keep going.
The important thing in my opinion isn't why you start, but how you keep going. If you've lost your reason, then perhaps take a look around and see if there isn't another one already next to you.
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean Good point I'm not trying to be discouraging or anything and good point its jusy what I've heard :D I'm learning so that when my exchamge student comes to New Zealand again I can travel to korea with him we promised xD
Im practicing and been watching that korean lesson comeplete video, its helped me a lot, i havent of course finished since its a lot of information that can not be a learned quickly. Im in lesson 4 currently. Heres what i know:
•Four syllable blocks: 오, 나, 봉, 안
•Vowels: ㅏ, ㅗ
•consonants: ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅎ
Thanks for all the help!
Im native Korean staying in the states now. im taking his videos to teach some friedns of mine who want to learn Korean. It really helps. Especially the terms like syntax, casual Korean .... etc haha
I decided to have an interlude from studying Korean. Your tips helped so much in motivating me back to studying the language.
Today will be my first day learning Hangul- so excited!
NOOO WAYYY!! I ordered that book a few months ago and that helped me so much and made it easier on me. I just love that book and I use it everyday.I just found your channel and I just found out you wrote the book. Thank you so much.
These tips are so helpful. Thank you.
I struggle to learn because I have no one to speak or practice with.
Just bought your book! So excited.
+Lydia Alemu ^_^
I study korean for a minium of 2-3 hours a day just when I wake up because I love it. I use a text book called 'Elementary Korean' and I look up for some videos on RUclips. So yes, in the book the subject and topic particles were kinda confusing so I watched your video about that lesson and I understood now how they work. I'm a beginner though, I started learning this beautiful language a week ago and I find it more fascinating everyday!
+Sandra González Hito that's great! continue studying hard and you'll get better over time. Don't rush and have fun!!
I totally agree with the use of multiple sources. Im using different apps right now and they all have a different way of teaching. So it makes learning more interesting. My ultimate goal is to be able to purchase textbooks like yours to enhance my learning
Just purchased your book on Kindle.... looking forward to learning
Thanks for encouragement
You really give me motivation
Thanks Billy
that really help.
Ur quite good at korean ...I really appreciate that, 'cause I wanna learn that too, but didn't know what to start with , now I do, thnks 2u.
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you😊
this was so helpful.i have watched all sortes of tips to learn korean but this one was the best by far! thanks!
I bought the book and Im a little slow today so when i saw the book I was so shocked.....great book
Sticking notes on objects with their Korean name is a great idea! Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the tips.
Thank you so much for this amazing video ✌😊
Thank you so much! I've been studying korean since 2014 and it saddens me that I'm not yet fluent because I can't study korean much because of school works. But these tips helped a lot! And that last part "date a korean" motivates me so much since I'm a kpop fan hahaha!! Seventeen hwaiting~
+Austine Lee Don't worry :) 2 years isn't enough time to become fluent for most people even living in Korea. Hopefully you'll have more time to study Korean in the near future.
Who's your bias? 😀
+Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean thank you for these videos, God bless!
+koolcat263 noodle dancing jellyfish kwon soonyoung ^.^
As long as you can form a basic sentence, you are still infinitely better at this than me lol
Amazing, really useful tricks.
Thank you for the tips. I need to work on practicing the little that I've learned so far. Korean is an interesting and fun language to learn.
Thank you for some excellent advise.
Korean is flexible language on the verbs and it'll be different from english. Grammar before vacablary would be help to understand how to use the verbs which make sentences.
I've used many of these techniques while learning Japanese and for me they work. But really helpful having this list because even though I use many, I hadn't really listed them and thought about them so a few have slipped. Going to apply this to both my Japanese and Korean study :)
Thank you Billy...
korean friends... I don't have this thing 😂
i have one but we are learning korean together lol i actually help her most of the time so technically she is korean but she is actually american?? what am i even saying.
Thank you!! To be honest im struggling with my korean study. I will make it a habit 30 mins/day for 1 week and then will focus more in grammar. 너무 너무 감삽니다💕
This was helpful. Ive only been learning korean for 3 momths but i have a basic grasp of hangul and can say a couple sentences. Im also glad you mentioned uaing different sources at once, i use 2 apps (duolingo and learnkorean), yourself and koreanunnie on YT, i also use 6weekskorean who skypes from SK, and watch/listen to kpop. All of this helps me study👍
Amazing advice
I love this channel
Your page really taught me how to speak korean . And your videos had a really big effort , Goodjob Hyung . Kamsahamnida .
This helps so much omg seriously. You can see I’m a kpop fan hahah, learning the language helps me understand kdramas and of course my idols. Kpop has also gotten me into the religion/culture so I would definitely want to visit South Korea one day. Thank you!!!
I get my basic notes from a website, then I visit another one, look for the same grammar topic and add to my notes. Sometimes I even look for a youtube video, too, and get some more example sentences
And thank you so much sir....my source to learn grammar is your website and it is absolutely amazing the way you explain all of them with simplicity and fun...i really appreciate this favor you did for all of us...👐💥💜
That's exactly what we need to do!
Thank you
I have a question bro. I actually can understand everything what you are saying in English but the problem is that I cannot speak what I really want to speak in lots of circumstances. What do you think is the main problem when you are learning foreign languages?
You need to get friends and practice the language with them.이해진
True
Thank you 💖
8th point is a really good one!
Thanks for this! It helped me a lot :)
This was so motivating
It’s 03:26am rn, I was about to watch a strawberry cake recipe, I checked this video first. Thank you, now my home is full of post-it with korean vocab ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Love this
wooow thank you so much
You need more subscribers love ur vids
Honestly, a lot of these advices apply to any language, too!
I really love his teachings and advises! Even if he is not technically my teacher, he is the best one I ever had, after my English teacher :D
i played VRChat and there are so many people from Korea, i just learn with them eventhough i make mistakes they still understand and they will happy to help you. i suggest people to play this game and try to learn with many Korean there if you don't have any friend from Korea.
감사합니다 빌리 선생님 🙇🏻♀️
감사합니다❤️
Thanks for the advice! I’m going to try to set my goal for a year maybe. I’ll try and reach my goal by watching K-Dramas, KPOP, and RUclips videos. I’m also going to try and make korean friends. 💜
This helps me so much. Thanks lot. now i have to be prepare for my korean exam.
그럼 다음에 또봐! 이거 멘트 너무 좋아욬ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ약간 올리버쌤한테는 빠잉~!이거처럼 너무 좋은듯욬ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ♡♡
but i have no korean friends 😭
2 Questions for you:Why did you start learning korean? (Plain curiosity.)
2: I study for hours everyday cuz i got a lot of free time and i like the process, but now that I've gone through literaly everything I could, I'm stuck. What do I do?
Thanks for the comment. I like the Korean language, and I like studying languages. What resources are you using to study? And how are you practicing?
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean I thought that one must have a big reason to study a language that is only spoken in one country ~
And I have gone through some courses here in youtube like ttmik, seemile, but mostly HuyngSeok Song's chanel and website(amazing btw)+ pdf grammar guides etc. Practicing is writing random useless stuff everyday, though when I try to say or even write what I actually want, all the info in my head explodes and all i can say in the end is "meow"... :(
I think your practice might need a bit of tuning. Practicing should be using the language in real situations as much as possible - or using it in controlled situations together with a tutor/penpal. Instead of writing "random useless stuff," I think it'd be better if you could find several pen pals to practice with. Without meeting you personally or hearing you talk or seeing your writing, I can't judge your level, but it's possible that you know a lot of Korean but are only able to use a little bit of it. This is due to the way that you are practicing. I think if you can do that, and keep it up for several months, talking with penpals every day in Korean while you go about your day, you'll notice a substantial improvement.
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean I will try HelloTalk again then. It's obvious that mistakes are a big part of the way to learning but it is insanely difficult(for me) to actually accept that my korean is terrible in real life and go for it anyway. You're inspiring me and somehow giving confidence i guess.. ") Thank you >< You got a cool personality btw +1 to your fans ~※
