- "Korean isn't difficult - it just takes time." But then why do these things take so much time? I chatted with 허쌤 from "Learn Real Korean" about some of the most difficult things to learn in Korean, as well as some ways to improve. We ranked the most difficult things in Korean (for Korean learners) from the easiest to the hardest.

It's true he is handsome tho :)
허샘, 한국어로 수업이 아닌 대화만 나누니까 선생님의 입담이 정말 좋으신데요! 이거 완전 포텐터진다고 하죠~ ㅎㅎ 샘이랑 밤새 수다 떨고 싶어요!
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 쌤 😂
I love the way she talks. Her accent and diction is so clear.
IMO, Korean isn't difficult as much as it is different from English in so many ways at the same time. There are not many grammar points that are hard to understand; the challenge is that you have to learn to apply many of them all at the same time, while also remembering what you have learn with any language (vocabulary, conjugation). But, if you like challenges, it's also why Korean is fun to learn.
i think english is harder thank god i didnt' have to learn it
@@바보Queen same I’m happy to have English as my first language
@@바보Queen I think english is easier. I had to learn it and I'm now learning korean but my experience might not be fair exactly since I started learning english at 9 and korean at 20.
Talking about the order of markers being a "feeling" made me think of the order of adjectives in English. Eg a big red ball, not a red big ball. If you ask a native English speaker they almost certainly won't be able to tell you why, but instinctually we just know it sounds "wrong"
This helped me grasp the markers a bit more as I've been struggling with them (I just started learning Korean a month ago and I have only just scratched the surface). I finished learning Hangul, though pronunciation and sound rules are still hard and I know only a few phrases, verbs, and nouns.
To your comment, I wouldn't say "red big ball" is grammatically wrong, but it definitely doesn't sound right. It still gets the same point across.
There's a "rule" for why we say "big red ball" in English, but as native speakers we never even have to learn that or think about it. In fact most people have never even heard of this order before, but can still use it perfectly. It's "opinion - size - age - shape - color - origin - material - purpose - noun."
@@GoBillyKorean Oh wow you're totally right, I never knew that but it's very very true. 알려주셔서 감사합니다.
@@GoBillyKorean I actually learned about that in 7th grade English (five decades ago, at this point).
Is there some similar order for descriptive verbs in Korean? I’ve never seen anyone refer to it but I have a feeling there probably is.
The most frustrating part about being a beginner Korean learner is not living in Korea and not being immersed in the culture that speaks it regularly. Im frustrated about not making progress faster and I know that having people around who can speak it would be a great help. What I find the most difficult is memorizing all the vocabulary because every word is different from english. Even if I learn something in my lessons I might forget it again after a few months because i don’t practice it in daily conversation due to living in Europe. Doctor is 의사. In my second language, German, doctor is Arzt. So every language is different which is both the fun part and the frustrating part 🤣
I take her intermediate Zoom class. It's tough but I really enjoy it!
고급 학습자들한테는 듣기 연습하기 너무 좋은 비디오 같아요! 속도 조절도 하지 않으시고 수다 떠시는 거라서! 😃 한국어의 특징이 마구마구 나오네요! 그리고… 엄마가 아빠를 다르게 부르시고 대하시는 건… 국룰인가 봅니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I'm so glad to see this collab with 허쌤! She and Billy really are some of the best teachers on UA-cam!
Your creativity for making various Korean learning videos is AWESOME. 고마워요 🌹
For me the most stressful is the memorization of the vocabulary and writing it. Due to Covid all our Korean classes were through Zoom so of course speaking/listening took priority, but the moment I am called upon in class to speak I panic over my lack of Korean vocabulary and because of that stress I forgot everything.
But I really love those moments where you're trying to read Korean and you actually understood in big lines what it says. Of course when you ask Papago for confirmation on what you just read there is more nuance to it, but still getting it right in the big lines is a big rush and feeds that sense of accomplishments in learning a new language

Thank you for linking her channel! Just checked it out and is very helpful! ♡
I’m native Korean teacher!!🇰🇷😁😁😁 I fully agree this! 이 영상 동감해요!!😂😂😂👍👍🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
Now I know a few grammar structures but combine them, in real time while talking, is a lot of effort. Also, the editing is very well done.
I know it gets frustrating when people say it’s the “feeling” but I get it. And once you get exposed enough you start to get the feeling as well. Languages are not exact science, some things can’t be explained and taught. That doesn’t mean that you can’t learn by observing.
9분 순삭이네요!!!😃 한국어 배울 때 어려운 것만 쏙쏙 뽑아서 참 재미있고 유익하게 만든 영상인 것 같아요.👍👍
Well, honestly, this made me more stressed to learn it. 😂 Interestingly, I’ve managed to figure out from Run BTS episodes that speaking is often much different than book learning - and I’m still in the middle of learning Hangeul. As a perfectionist and English grammar nerd, it’ll be difficult for me to learn to go by “feeling,” but I’ll have to keep reminding myself that I’m managing to learn the language without understanding any of it through BTS content exposure. It’s also why I’m so focused on front loading learning nuances like this so I can have a super solid foundation to build upon once I get past Hangeul and pronunciation (which I’ve decided to dedicate several months’ of learning to before moving forward). This makes me curious to see how quickly I’ll learn grammar and vocab. I’ll check out her channel, thanks!
I think it helps to be aware certain things will take more time than others to master, so once you get to those you don't feel bad if you don't get them immediately. They took me a lot of time originally to feel comfortable with, and they take others time too (perhaps more or less time than me). I've seen a lot of learners reach politeness levels and give up before even trying, because they were told by someone that because the alphabet can be learned in a few hours that the whole language can be learned quickly too.
@@GoBillyKorean Oh yay, can I fangirl a little bit that you replied? 🥰 Appreciate you taking the time to give feedback. My second language is Spanish (four years of classroom education and some conversational/reading fluency) and I’m noticing it feels like a step between English and Korean (for example, conjugation and lack of pronouns) so I’m feeling lucky to have that stepping stone of learning. Honestly, I’m kind of perplexed why folks say you can learn Hangeul in 90 minutes because I’ve been studying for a month now 1-2 hours a day using various resources to understand pronunciation and Batchim rules so that I may speak with a native accent. Maybe I’m being a little excessive because, like I said, I’m a perfectionist, but I’m also a very fast and technical/analytical learner. My opinion is that English speakers try to self-study too fast, which hurts them in the long run, because they’re so focused on “being fluent in three months.” By focusing so much in the beginning right now on learning Hangeul, pronunciation, and nuances of native speaking, I hope to set myself up for better fluency in the long run. Plus, I’ve always wanted to be multilingual 😁 and learning it because of K-pop is a good excuse. 😂
I do want to add that originally I was going to be 100% self study, but I recently decided that I’ll invest in an iTalki tutor for that 1:1 learning once I upgrade my laptop and get an iPad after Apple’s fall launch. I’m finding there is a ton of variation in pronunciation depending on what resource you use, and I think having a real person explain the “reality” of the language on an individualized level (like you both did in the video) will prove worth the investment even though I’m just literally learning for fun. But ya never know, maybe I’ll get to meet BTS one day and show off my skills! 😂
@@bkdsignature I've never heard of anyone who became fluent in only three months, so it's best not to compare yourself to others. You're the only one who knows exactly what you're doing to learn Korean, and you're in complete control of how much and how quickly you are learning, and how much you're practicing :-) Good luck in your studies~!
@@GoBillyKorean I have chuckled at a few folks’ videos saying they self studied and became fluent in a few months. I’m trying to keep reminding myself no one knows I’m studying but me, so I should do it the way I like! 😂
Billy helps me a lot through this channel. Thank you so much
@LearnRealKorean another great guest. She was very informative and provided great examples.
What stresses me out about learning Korean? Fear of not sticking with it, forgetting (I have bouts of major brain fog and generally struggle with memorization), ADHD preventing progress.😬 I started learning Chinese but early on hit a roadblock, for lack of a better word, lol. Anyways, I just really hope I can stick with it. I binge kdramas, have started listening to kpop more, borrow library books, waiting on books I just purchased and am watching more and more UA-cam videos (mainly yours but also TTMIK). I'm still getting into a routine, trying to learn 한글 first (watching your videos for that)!😁 OH, something else that stresses me is tongue placement for certain sounds. That's one thing, though, I really enjoy about 한글 is it kind of shows you in the letters. The history and science behind it really makes sense. 😁
빌리 쌤 영상을 재미있게 만들어 주셔서 고맙습니다! 😊 한국어 배우기 시작한 지 이제 ~1년 됐는데, 처음에 초급자 때 제일 어려운 부분은... 어순 그리고 어미였어요. 그런데 공부하면 할수록 어순은 훨씬 쉬워졌어요. 지금도 어미 어려울 때 있기는 있지만, 한국어의 뉘앙스를 이해하는 센스가 좀 더 생겨서 예전보다 쉬운 것 같아요. 이제 저 같은 경우에는 한국어 배우는 데 가장 어려운 점은 어휘력을 늘리는 거예요 😭
I've been learning Korean for about 4 months here in Korea in a language school. And the most frustrating part for me is the fact that there is a set program with deadlines and exams. So if I don't understand a specific topic or two, we only dedicate a small amount of time to that topic and just move on to the next one every class. So it never really feels like any topic is solidified and everything becomes a blur over the week, so you gotta put in a lot of work by yourself which I don't always want to do... I just wish the classes were more catered to the student needs with more ways to solidify the material rather than to fit a specific timeline.
Unfortunately that's how most things work in classrooms. The reason is the actual "learning" part is only something you can do outside of the classroom on your own. With Korean, you need so much exposure and practice with each concept to really master it, that it wouldn't be practical to try to do all of that within the classroom. I recommend trying to find some Korean friends outside of class who prefer using more Korean, so that you have a way of practicing everything you're learning.
i can read all korean words without knowing the meaning of it so yeah I'm basically new to Korean
Pronunciation is my Achilles heel… it’s taking me so much time to grasp the translations. Thanks for your time
제가 친구랑 한국말로 전화에 대화할때 이미 꼭 배웠던지 아는 말을 틀리게 들리는게 저의 가장 스트레쓰를 받게 하는 것이에요. 무슨 말인지 알죠? 그냥 아 진짜 왜 그렇게 쉬운 표현을 잘못들리나? 생각해요. 정말 자신감이 없어지는 느낌이네요. Thank you for introducing me to 허쌤!
영어를 공부하는 한국인입니다. 이 영상을 보니 영어가 한국어와 많이 다르고, 또 한국어가 많이 어렵다는게 느껴지네요. 이 정도 글을 쓰실정도로 연습하셨다면 잘 하고 계신겁니다. 힘내세요😊
@@hoi9908 착한 말을 해줘서 감사합니다! 계속 열심히 연습할게요!
This was very interesting and fun to watch!
I'm currently at chapter 15th of your first book. The most difficult part for me, at least now, is order. For example, when using 때문에 or 보다 in sentences, the cause or the things to compare being at he begining makes it more difficult for me, but I actually think it's because I have to translate everything to Spanish and the sentences get a bit awkward in every language hahahhaha. However I will keep using your books, I love the way you teach and I learned a lot in almost a year. Hugs from Spain!
Korean _is_ difficult-the word order seems to be exactly opposite that of English, save the subject (if there is one) being at the beginning of the sentence-but, on the other hand, it’s very logical _and_ fairly regular. (Even the “exceptions” tend to be mostly regular.)
As for the topic and subject markers, I never found them confusing-maybe because I came across sentences like these in which their functions were pretty clear (and of course there _are_ other uses, too):
“누가 저 택시를 세웠어요?” “Who stopped that taxi?”
“저 택시는 내가 세웠어요.” “I stopped that taxi.”
(Credit to the _Wild Korean_ site.)
More!
I love heeer her humor is everything 😂
"I rice eat" for me is very easy hehe the problem is when sentences begin to be more complex with "and, so" etc. We just don't add them in the sentence like in English, it's part of the verb stem... I studied several languages, including Russian, and I've never had to deal with such a thing. But I love Korean.
For me, the most difficult part is just recognizing verbs that can sound so different based on the way they are conjugated. Trying to hear the verb while also trying to hear the nuance the many different conjugations give to it will still take a lot of study and listening practice. I think I'm at the point that if someone spoke to me slowly and used pretty basic wordage I could have a conversation, but trying to follow along with native speakers at normal speed is somewhat dizzying still haha
허쌤 씨 선생님이 is one of my favourite learning sources especially for listening practice because as she says she uses less text book narrative and more natural narrative which helps us understand a lot! very overlooked channel she has! 고맙습니다!
So cool!! Her channel is amazing and so unique! Thank you for all that you both do!
한국어는 뉘앙스가 아주아주아주아주아주아주 중요합니다
같은말이라도 상황과 장소에 따라 말이 달라져요
Awesome vedio.thank you sir or brother
Why is Korean so hard. There are several culprits. I think word order is at the top of the list. When I speak subject-verb-object languages like German/French/Spanish, without very much effort can get into a flow and I feel my brain automatically thinking ok this part of speech is coming next so we need X. But with Japanese/Korean I have to really concentrate to think backwards and it's awful. I can feel it getting a little better year after year at least. I'm old though - maybe young learners adjust to this faster. Sidenote - if you do the whole interview in Korean then it makes me want to relisten to it for practice.
Hey Billy! This was a very good video. However, I think these are hardships for entry level, like topic marker/subject marker/object marker and word order, all those are beginner stuff. For example, I already knew german and was very aware of these components, so adding a particle at the end was not a huge issue. How about struggles for intermediate level?
A lot of these apply to intermediate level too. In fact, politeness levels can be difficult even for people who can otherwise speak Korean fluently.
As a beginner, for now i am struggling with spelling. I know how words are sound but struggling to write it. Besides that, bigger frustration of course would be the grammar rules & vocabulary, i am still at the beginner level so there is still a lot of things i did'nt know but i'm just going to take things slow, do one by one so that i don't feel too overwhelmed or else i would fall on a 'slump' and stop learning for weeks..
I'm glad you asked, haha! As a beginner (I'm just under three months of learning so far) I think I'm struggling most with particles. But this video actually helped my confidence a bit - because sometimes I think I get it with topic markers etc, but then I second guess myself. Hearing that it's a feeling makes me feel like maybe I'm overthinking it. I find politeness levels the easiest to navigate because I figure I am learning polite speech right now and I'd rather be over-polite than too casual so it doesn't stress me out.
(Of course learning the vocabulary is the toughest at this point, but that will come with time!)
Goodness- hahaha I think I got it! It was fun understanding that these things are just difficult and require feeling but to be told not to worry about too much by a native made me feel better.
Billy, it is very interesting to listen to your guest's voice speaking korean. Is it natural for every korean woman to speak with such an intonation and so special melodical way? Or only her lovely personality is reflected in her sentences? :)
She has a really nice voice :D Go check out her UA-cam channel to hear more of her~
my biggest pronunciation hurdle: 려
리 + 어, said as one sound :)
Best channel to learn korean !!!!!
와... 영어보다 한국어가 배우기 더 어렵겠군요....^^;;;
이걸 이겨낸 빌리쌤...진짜 대단하네요. 엄지척!!
I just started learning korean and just thinking about sentence structure gives me nose bleeds 💀 i have tried so many ways of learning it including speaking like Yoda but i'm struggling more
For me, the trick was to remember that verbs come at the end of the sentence.
The basic order is subject (doer of the verb), object (receiver of the verb), verb.
It obviously gets way more complicated than that, but that is enough to start learning!
저에게는 한국어를 공부할때 제일 어려운것 = 한자어... so many korean words are easier to understand because of chinese roots and are connected due to hanja and when you start getting into the advanced levels theres so much more hanja to learn
I'm a beginner (I've been learning for about 6 months) and I'm currently finding pronunciation most challenging. Especially of ㅅ and most of the double consonants.
I know many of the things you discussed will become a problem for me down the track! I finally have the grammar of -은/는, -을/를 and -이/가 all worked out, but I'm pretty sure I'm not using them naturally when constructing my own sentences.
After watching this now everything stresses me out!!! :)))
Don't worry, this Friday's video will be just for you :)
I'm native Czech. I was discussing with my Korean friend who was born in the Czech Republic and knows both languages as a native speaker, which language is more difficult and we both agreed that Czech. I think that the most difficult thing in Korean for me is that this language is just completely different. Czech and Slavic languages over all have for example "declension" which is difficult even for natives and makes our language literal hell on Earth for foreign students... :D Thank you for your video Billy!! You are so encouraging and you motivate me to study Korean harder!!
That's so cool! I know Slovak from my parents (not born there though) and I agree it's a very difficult language along with Czech... Very interesting that you consider it even harder than Korean, especially with all the difficulties Billy brought up :)
@@sizelka Wow!! That's cool!! So can you speak Slovak natively? 😲 As I said, also my Korean friend who is native in Korean and Czech thinks that Czech is more difficult... 😅 But also it depends what language is your native. If you know Russian for example, then Czech will be easy for you... 😅 But for Czechs is easier to study Korean than for Koreans Czech language. 😅 By my experience... Because I know also Koreans who study Czech as their second or third language. 😅
Awesome video :)
I feel stressed when learning korean because I start to feel that it is getting harder and harder and I still can’t construct sentence naturally.
For me, honorifics / politeness levels are the most stressful aspects. Because I see not knowing a word or grammar principle as a “neutral” thing, but getting the wrong politeness level / honorific marker or verb as being “rude” and there’s not much you can do once someone thinks you’re rude or impolite.
영어 공부하고 있는데, 힘들때마다 와서 봐야될 영상이군요. 모든 한국어공부 하시는 분들, 딱히 드릴건 없고 힘내세요.....😅
Love this channel!!!
for me honestly the pronunciation is the hardest thing
Great video, i get more and more confused :D the different verb endings are killing me, there are so many
Ok, so everybody's comments are already two years ago, not sure why I'm always late to the toga party.
My difficulty is memorization of words. I don't have clear debarkation as to what is study time and how to really study, as in sitting at a table and actually doing the school work. No matter what this is what I'll probably need
My biggest hardship is still to understand. Mostly I try to understand, analysize the grammar / translate. But it is too fast most of the the time. After more than 2,5 years I stumble through simple sentences. I think I haven‘t found the right method.
It doesn't feel hard to me.
I can retain more Korean words than I can Chinese words and I've been studying both on and off for two years.
지나가다 한마디 하면,
한국어는 형용사도 풍부하지만, 특히 동사가 매우 발달 한 언어입니다. (동사 중심의 언어)
한가지만 예를들면, 영어의 wear를 사용하는 경우
한국에는 착용 부위에 따라 다른 동사를 사용 합니다.
옷을 입다. 신을 신다. 장갑을 끼다. 마스크를 쓰다. 귀거리를 하다, 허리띠를 차다. 장비를 착용하다. 목도리를 두르다. 외투를 걸치다. (피부에 연고를 바르다도 wear)
이처럼 비슷한 동작을 하는 상황에서 전부 다른 동사를 사용하는데 이는 한국어에서 동사가 얼마나 중요하며, 세밀하게 발달했는 지 보여주는 단 한가지 사례일 뿐입니다.
상황에 따라 동사를 세밀하게 구분해서 사용하는 사례는 수없이 발견됩니다.
한국의 시골 지역에 갈수록 요즘에는 잘 쓰지 않는 더 풍부한 다른 동사가 아직 많이 사용됩니다. 하지만 요즘 젊은 사람들은 부모님들이 쓰던 이런 말을 잘 사용하지 않아서(고향을 벗어나면 사람들이 그 단어를 모르는 경우가 많아서) 앞으로 몇십년 안에 시골의 부모님들이 사용해온 수많은 단어들이 사라질 위기에 처해 있기도 합니다.
(몸이 아프다의 경우도 상황에 따라 '우리하다' '뻐근하다' '지끈거리다' '결리다' '뻑적지근하다''아리다' '쓰라리다''쓰리다''얼얼하다'등등이 다 미세하게 느낌이 다른 동사들입니다.)
(또 다른 사례로, 바람에 '나부끼다', 바람에 '펄럭이다', 바람에 '흔들거리다', 바람에 '나풀거리다'는 사물의 움직이는 모습이 미세하게 다르죠^^)
I think the most difficult thing when learning was asking when it was okay to finally switch from 존댓말 to 반말. So for the longest time, even with friends or close 언니/오빠들 I’d still speak in 존댓말 to them because that’s how I learned. Until they said it was okay to speak 반말.
한국어를 잘하는 외국인들이 정말 대단한 것 같아요~
GOOD`
I dont have a problem with the verb coming at the end its just 가끔 if I am using two verbs in a sentence I dont know which verb to put at the end because Korean sentences have the most important stuff to the end. The other difficulty is conjugations 😭 and the markers
Until now, the most difficult thing for me has been topic/subject marker. I've the theory so many times and I actually think I get it quite right, but when it comes to actually apply it, I just can't. I simply don't know which one to use.
ua-cam.com/video/E2jrWqBDilM/v-deo.html
I'm still a beginner. What stresses me about the language is I can't find anyone to speak the language with. Or a native speaker who has a handle on teaching what me what I really need to know.
Pen pals work fine for that. There are lots of free apps and sites for finding pen pals and all of them work in a similar way.
What always confuses me on speech is that I see everywhere to not mix informal with polite speech but in dramas I see 나 and 너 all the time in sentences ending with 요. I get not using with ㅂ니다 but isn’t 요 polite as well?
ua-cam.com/video/4P8u7XXyLJw/v-deo.html
@@GoBillyKorean you literally have a video for everything! 고마워요 선생님!
What is hard is applying what im learning! Basics are fine but building and enriching the sentences and my speech is hard for me
One thing I have trouble memorizing is how different action verbs and descriptive verbs conjugate (for example when you want to turn them into an adjective. Because in german we just have verbs and adjectives, but when speaking korean I always have to think about if the verb is actually a descriptive verb or an action verb and how different they conjugate
You're definitely not alone. The Korean verb system is extremely complex (compared with Japanese, for example, although the sentence structure of both languages is eerily similar). And what makes it difficult is the fact that it's hard to instinctively discriminate between the root part (supposedly obtained by removing the last syllable from the dictionary form, but in fact, it's just not so simple when it comes to using negatives or past and future tenses and the different politeness levels) and the conjugated part. The keyword here is "instinctively", meaning that you won't be able to use verbs correctly until you reach a level where expressing your ideas in a near-natural Korean has become instinctive.
Learn Real Korean hasn't uploaded anything since this went up. 👀
As someone who has been learning korean for 9 months (started at January 11th) , and being at level 6 in TalkToMeInKorean... am I learning too fast, in terms of knowing a language well?
What I mean is, should I be learning at a slower pace ? In order not to just finish all ten levels of TTMIK but to ACTUALLY know the language?
I need help cause this kind of troubles me..
Thank you Billy 선생님 !
There's no such thing as learning fast or slow. It all depends on how much time you're putting into a language. Some people learn faster because they are in different situations, or they're studying more, or more effectively, etc. You can speak as much Korean as you can actually speak, so that's the best judge of your speed and level I think. After all, you're learning to speak Korean in order to speak Korean :)

"What causes you the most stress when you're trying to learn Korean?"
...Korean.
What about the speaking classes? ;-;;;
You can send 허쌤 an email. hurlanguageschool@gmail.com
@@GoBillyKorean omg, thank youu ♡
빌리 선생님, why do you call adjectives verbs? 😭 예브다 is not a 동사 😔
Verbs conjugate, while adjectives simply attach directly to nouns to change them. For example, "pretty" is an adjective. 예쁘다 does not mean "pretty," but conjugates like a verb. That's why they're called "descriptive verbs." 예쁜 is an adjective, since it can be attached directly to a noun.
@@GoBillyKorean I see the difference you're making. Your simply making a diffetence between the standard form of the adjective "예쁘다" and the conjugated form of it "예쁜," or "예뻐요." Anyway, I still rather see these words as adjectives all around... the term descriptive verb is new to me.
@@Jorge007dr The reason is English grammatical terms don't match with Korean ones, since English and Korean work differently. This is to avoid confusion when students are learning. If someone learns 형용사 is an "adjective" then it's very common to see mistakes like "저는 아주 행복한."
@@GoBillyKorean Alright. I understand. I didn't have that issue when I learned Korean. Anyway, you're a really good teacher! Keep it up :-) I would like to see more videos of you speaking in pure Korean to other Koreans... like you did with 선현우
I just checked out her UA-cam channel Learn Real Korean.... It's much too advanced for me.
She also has Korean speaking classes on Zoom for beginners too: ua-cam.com/video/90ujy02vjLo/v-deo.html
I, like Billy, have trouble with accidentally rolling my ㄹ’s.
당신이라고 하면 싸우자는 예기 ㅋㅋ
the difficulty you did not speak of is how to memorize a vocabulary you don't understand the etymology : it's like learning Korean means to learn a lot of chinese in the same time...like an endless task ..like russian dolls ..you always miss something.
Not entirely sure that this is what you mean, but one underrates the benefit of shared vocabulary in your target language. Yes, I'm sure you won't have that with Korean unless it's outright Konglish.
@@kirstenmuller4536 you got it , vocabulary requires a lot of effort, with the exceptionn of konglish.
This is stressing me out. 😖
Don't worry. Next's week's video will be just for you :)
TBH while I find Billy videos to be very useful and informative, this video was quite demoralizing.
"Native Korean Speakers just know how to use markers" is...well...not helpful.
Maybe I missed something here.
The markers you can learn here: ua-cam.com/video/E2jrWqBDilM/v-deo.html But they take a lot of time beyond simply learning when/how to use them before you'll "feel" them. Also don't worry, this Friday's new video will be just for you ;-)
It's very difficult if you are not in Korea
the whole "you, he, she" thing. Damn it. I understand that korean doesn't use those but every time I try to form a sentence I can see how my brain has a whole malfunction. Coming from a language like english, where "you" is used very often and natural, transforming a sentence into korean where this isn't the case..ugh.
This video is discouraging 💀😂
