Gyeongju VLOG - Traditional Stuff & LCK Semi-Finals (no music)
I've never been to Gyeongju(경주) before so I liked seeing the traditional part of Korea & big esports fandom. If you've been to Seoul many times, I recommend Gyeongju!

Truth Behind Koreans Shouting in Texts!!! (넵!)

Try searching for '넵' in Google Images, and you'll find a crazy amount of memes, history, posts, and hell lot more. I think it's one of the things that reflect the hierarchical nature of Korean society. *BGM: nothing *Check out my channel: ua-cam.com/channels/T3PzIPwLbF8PkV8GUBU-ug.html #artificialintelligence #languagelearning #korean

Korean Businesses LOVE Phone Calls

Thankfully, these days the "I just sent you an email" reminders are shifting from phone calls to KakaoTalk.

Why Korean Companies Won’t Hire You

It's not your fault. It is what it is. It'll get better. They want to hire you, but are simply not used to it. It will take time. *BGM: Sunshower - LATASHÁ (UA-cam Audio Library) *Check out my channel: ua-cam.com/channels/T3PzIPwLbF8PkV8GUBU-ug.html #koreajobs #culture #koreanculture
When Korean Politeness Goes Too Far
Переглядів 50Місяць тому
In this video, I discuss why the incorrect grammar '되실까요' is spreading so quickly in the Korean language. I remember when '아이스아메리카노 나오셨습니다' became the norm, and now things are adding up. What's next!? 😂 *BGM: Marimba Chill - Jimena Contreras (UA-cam Audio Library) *Check out my channel: ua-cam.com/channels/T3PzIPwLbF8PkV8GUBU-ug.html #languagelearning #grammar #korean
What’s the Point of Learning a New Language in 2024?

Knowing how to speak a foreign language might not necessarily get you a job anymore. Those days are over. But I think there's still value in learning a new language. *BGM: Palmtrees - The Brothers Records (UA-cam Audio Library) *Check out my channel: ua-cam.com/channels/T3PzIPwLbF8PkV8GUBU-ug.html #artificialintelligence #languagelearning #korean

Korean Spacing - Don't Study It (seriously)
Переглядів 412 місяці тому
Basic Rules of Korean Spacing 1. Add space between every word. 2. The particle words stick to what came before. 3. Compound words stick together. And there's lot more to it! But do you really have to go all-in getting the Korean spacing perfect? *My go-to service for checking my Korean grammar: alldic.daum.net/grammar_checker.do *BGM: Lawrence - TrackTribe (UA-cam Audio Library) *Check out my c...

How a Video Game Changed Korean Forever (ft. World of Warcraft)
Переглядів 142 місяці тому
Hey everyone! In today's video I discuss how a small design in the legendary video game World of Warcraft ended up leaving a huge impact on the Korean language. I see more and more new slang from games eventually finding its place in the real world, and it's truly remarkable. If you have any similar examples, please share! I'd love to learn from you. *Copyright: All World of Warcraft materials ...

    Would first calling and then sending an email, if the called person didn't pick up, be considered hurtful? Or would this be the better approach, as that's how I would do it.

    • @icebreakLC
      @icebreakLC 17 днів тому

      I think it's acceptable if you call first, and then send email. Because with that, you already made first discussions and can add additional detailed information in the email! (so it's not just a reminder but a followup)

    The influence is powerful,this attractiveness that you talked about. Makes you forget your own identity and reality for a moment. But maybe,it is a part of your identity afterall. The more English becomes a ubiquitous language the possibilities also expands for some , their ideas becomes better ,their parameter and the understanding of the world expands and I believe these factors exists on the positive side of the spectrum. Hope you are doing fine @Icebreak.

      you are absolutely right on "...maybe it is a part of youtr identity afterall." You believe you are in control, but that maybe not true. ☺️

    Diversity is only forced down the throats of western nations, in order to dominate the native people of those nations. Eveyone else is allowed to keep their own ways.

    Nice video, thanks! I am amazed at how many AI english learning videos I now see on youtube and they get viewers!?! How can you learn pronunciation by conversing with an LLM? Adult language learning is a strange world where so many want a short cut to fluency, and I suspect many are seeing AI as that short cut.

    • @icebreakLC
      @icebreakLC Місяць тому

      People always want shortcuts. Flashy new tech always makes it seem there's a shortcut. And there isn't. And then the cycle repeats itself haha

  • @armandocastejon5025
    @armandocastejon5025 Місяць тому

    Thanks for pointing that out. It's hard to believe how much AI has taken away from us, many would say that learning a new language is not necessary anymore due to the great amount of information there's on the internet but still the cultural knowledge you get from the learning process is so amazing.
