I don't have the required concentration and patience to learn in an orderly method. Hence I absorb more when I essentially become a child.(The method you described) I don't know if walking down this path will aid me in developing a necessary mindset to learn any language , orderly and in the old fashioned way ,but I certainly want to approach a language someday like that. I am in an awe of the children who are growing in a bilingual household ,in my view they are just constructing two brains for each of the languages respectively ,sometimes I envy them.(And thats certainly not good). Edit: Post Script Congratulations on reaching 100 subscribers ,very happy to be a part of them.🎉☘️

There are millions of Koreans who does not play video games and prevents their young kids from playing games so stop grossly stereotyping Koreans as if everyone has nothing to do but play video games. You people need to stop blatantly accusing Koreans of all these issues as if everyone is doing the same thing.

Intresting....a lot of Koreans here in GA & I've seen the cyber cafes. They are an oddity in our culture so I've been curious - this gave me interesting insight as to why they developed. There were a few early on with the cyber craze hit the states but they never caught on like they did in other places. Thanks for sharing.

literally soccer or LoL

This is such a nice wholesome vid. Thank you for sharing.

I'm more comfortable with Traditional writing even though I learned simplified writing back in school (Malaysia). I was exposed to both. Simplified writing does have a problem, even I got confused despite the characters being easier to write, sometimes it felt like I was missing something. Later, I searched out for Taiwanese sources and have since converted full to using Traditional writing, it's strange because it's supposed to be harder but it turned out easier to remember. That said, knowing both is good, because you'll encounter both. I'd argue that knowing Traditional writing first is better, it's a very good foundation. Simplified writing used to be personal shortcuts being standardised only (with some new creations too), I've seen people mixing the two in handwriting.

Simplify Chinese character is easier.all interconnected, just like abc. E.g. 木 interconnected with 林，森，禁梦焚婪楚梵，麻摩摩麾磨，琳琅满目。。

I am decent in Japanese (got N2 certificate) trying to learn a little chinese for fun and I have the exact same problem. What makes simplified characters actually harder than traditional one is lack of radicals that give you a clue to its meaning. I know 聴 means to listen in Japanese cause of the ear radical 耳 but in 简体字, it's 听 which gives me zero clue on its meaning, the 口 radical doesn't help since other characters have it too.

Well I wanna share my language journey. I am a native Spanish speaker from Argentina. I have been learning English for ten years now (I finished the course and now I can watch a full Tv show without having to stop for every word I don't know. I am pretty sure about my skills). I started learning Italian (it is a Latin related language) thinking about how easy it would be😂😂😂😂.. It has 50% of "false friends" and is hard when you are familiar with the meaning of a word in Spanish and then you learn that the same or almost the same word has an entirely different meaning. Now, I keep learning some italian now and then with Duolingo. But I started Chinesse and I can remember better a Chinese character than an Italian word. Spanish/Portuguese and Italian are very close to each other. French and romanian feels kind of learning a complete different language.

Interesting to know Koreans learned Hanzi in school. I’m learning simplified Hanzi now 😄

Good points, visited there once and cant wait to go again

They only made things more complicated creating new characters.

As someone who grew up in a Simplified Chinese environment in China, I have no difficulty reading books in Traditional Chinese from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but I can’t write all the Traditional Chinese characters correctly.

I just try to learn both at the same time. The textbooks I use usually contain both anyway.

The more confusing part was when I went to China, I have seen them use both... 🤔...🤷

I get this feeling of 'guessing' from another form of Chinese because I have made some effort to fully acquire Traditional Chinese while growing up with Simplified Chinese. I can say that there is a common misconception among us Chinese that people naturally 'know' the other form, but in fact they, including myself, can't even write a full sentence in another form without actually learning it. All they can do is guess at some meaning through some basic rules of character transformation, such as that of 言部、金部, which is far from being good at it. But of course the transition between two forms of characters is much easier than learning a whole new language. By the way, I'm really curious about how Koreans learn Chinese characters back then. What is your experience of 漢字混用? Did you learn from Classical Chinese works like Japanese students do?

马 is not any easier to read than 馬. It is a bit faster to write.

Just learn mandarin from Taiwan. I think they still use traditional.

Haha "nobody cares about you" 😂 I am overseas Chinese who learnt traditional first and now my brain just freezes when I see simplified. I dont use chinese often enough in my daily life (reading/writing) so I am no fluent at all but I always recognise which is which even if i don't know what the word is. But my brain is too lazy to try to figure out the simplified words 😂

chinese no problem shifting both, Singaporeans no problem using both together

Chinese should use new script to make the language better to read.....

Granted it is much easier to learn simplified while knowing traditional than vice versa

I wonder when someone starts to learn a third language (which you already have done so @Icebreak ,and I am starting to), which part of them is learning the third language. Or a better way to form this question would be , through which language you are trying to learn the third or the nth language. I think they "all" are learning or adding this new language at the end ,but how they do it must have some variable effects . To learn something new with something that you had to learn and was not innate to you ,and then combine that with all of 'you' , it's very fascinating.

Language is just fun in itself tbh currently learning 5 languages so wish me luck 😭

Huh, I assumed you were from the US or Canada, your language skills (and english accent) are impressive.

I think especially for Taiwanese shows, office people have English names. I just wonder if those names are legally registered or if it‘s just a name they picked and used, which would mean they could change it any time. Sometimes Koreans have English names, too, right? I like that the Japanese just stick to their original names.

The funny thing is, I learned new languages because in my mind I perceived I needed to learn them - mainly because I wanted to watch shows in those language. One language (Spanish) was required in college (an exception). German, because I was assigned to Germany and German TV and movies are mostly only shown in German. I learned/am learning two Asian languages because I‘d like to watch Asian shows (anime and dramas) without subtitles (so far unsuccessfully). My son does say that I am different when I speak in foreign languages as opposed to my native tongue. I know when I try to speak Japanese, I act more reservedly. Anyway, I also watched that BBC video and also found it interesting.

What I have learned is that quality matters in Germany. So if something takes more time but in the end requires less or no rework and a higher quality, then that’s more important. I also think “no-nonsense” is also valued. That’s why, I think, Germans are direct and honest when they speak. I was surprised to see something about Germany when I checked your channel as the first video recommended to me from it was about the Korean and Japanese languages. I myself have studied/learned German, taken almost two years of Korean lessons and am currently learning Japanese. 다 むずかし sind. Tschüß.

This has a lot of parallels with computing, since there you clearly see that efficiency has a large number of metrics, and humans view efficiency as some sort of aggregation of those metrics, which is subjective. For example, your german example could be efficient in terms of personnel by having such a long waiting list to ensure no extra waste, but it's obviously extremely inefficient in terms of latency (and potentially availability, as I bet people avoid doing it sometimes because it's so painful) I find that the US tries to never let any one metric get too bad and goes for a very broad set of efficiencies (although I'm biased being in NYC which is hyper capitalist and generally efficient), but your mileage may vary depending on the context (just like germany) The other comment about preciseness is spot on; germans always choose precision over flexibility or other difficult tradeoffs to get right in tandem

Your experience in Berlin is not representative of Germany.

here before the channel blows up! great content :)

No idea how I got this video in my recommended feed, but thanks for your take, pretty interesting.

We're not efficient. Never have been. We're precise. Precision can look efficient. But it's not the same.

Yeah Germans are not efficient. They are orderly/conformist which means they can follow an efficient order/manual. But then when the order is inefficient...

I really appreciate this inside info.

"the kid of that stranger" is a mouthful & unnecessarily profound. I suggest just saying "the stranger's kid"

안녕하세요 Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 谢谢。你制作韩国文化视频。😊

안녕하세요 Thank you for sharing" 넵!"😊

Parents want their kids to be lucky and succeed in life, and sometimes these hopes get carried over to the kids’ 小名 (xiǎo míng) In the category, you’ll have 小名 (xiǎo míng) such as 来福 (lái fú) “blessing” or 喜儿(xǐ er) “happy child.” For families with more than one kid, they might name them sequentially, such as 大宝 (dà bǎo) - “big treasure” and 二宝( èr bǎo) - “second treasure.”

“Wave Makers” is a Taiwanese drama that offers a unique portrayal of the political scene in Taiwan. It is in Netflix. This is more easier for you. Watch the drama 2 times korean or english subtitle . Watch the drama again in chinese subtitle.. Listen chinese song and sing along. 我怀念的 林俊杰 歌词。look for hanyu pinyin.😊

Italian here. Coreans in southern Italy might go crazy.

SHINee, PSY and BIGBANG were the ones who first got me into K-pop with the most positive emotions. Now my Spotify and UA-cam stats prove that I'm a fan of TAEYONG, BAEKHYUN, DOYOUNG, NCT DOJAEJUNG (DOYOUNG + JAEHYUN + JUNGWOO), SUHO, TEN, NCT U, NCT 127, NELL, Jerastar, Colde, Jung ILHOON... Most streamed songs: YOO YOUNG JIN + TAEYONG "CURE" , TAEYONG "RUBY", TAEYONG "Long Flight", NCT U "YESTODAY", TVXQ + TAEYONG "City Lights"... I am from Lithuania. On October 16, I will watch the global event-concert "TAEYONG: TY TRACK IN CINEMAS" in Vilnius. :-)

That explains things, I was thinking about this earlier today.

you explained the perspective of small talk in Korea very well! I found myself nodding many times while watching your video haha. On top of that, I think saying hi to the strangers of different sex is even more difficult in Korea because it often implies direct flirting

Saudi Arabia is not an easy country to adapt to. I spent 9 years living there and at times it was absolutely challenging, from the very first moment I arrived in 2014, the person who was supposed to meet me at the airport, never showed up. I was stranded in the airport. I've also lived in Korea, for four years. With that being said, Saudi Arabia is awesome, and to be honest, I found the Saudis to be a lot less exclusive than Koreans. Yes, they put themselves first, as do the Koreans, but really, Saudis, and Muslims in general, a lot more welcoming, and less racist. I can't stand eating pork either, which is another reason why I liked living in Saudi Arabia. If you're staying in a hotel that smells like smoke, it's likely a 2 star hotel. Another reason I liked Saudi Arabia, and hate me for this, I don't care. Women don't behave promiscuously. In comparison to Korea, where women do the exact opposite, I have to say it was good going out and not having to deal with random women trying to talk to me about how much money I make, whether or not I have a wife, asking me to buy them a drink. THEY DON'T DRINK in Saudi Arabia (Another reason I liked living there, because I can't stand being around alcoholics, unlike Korea, where alcoholics are absolutely everywhere.). I would go back to Saudi over going back to Korea, any day.

seriously .. only 5 kids and you are shocked ... then come to Pakistan... :D i had a neighbour and there was a family where a woman had 17 children... from 1 woman

This is very similar to Japan

Good point man , nice talk I’m agree with your comments

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.
