It’s so funny how everyone does that same awkward smile when they don’t understand what others are saying😂😂 having lived in 4 different countries I get that feeling A LOT. Love you guys x
@@danielleandreini6612 Lol her dad is white, so she was brought up in a white household. Her mom rejected her Korean identity the moment she married a white guy and chose to assimilate to white American culture. She's only half-Korean by blood. They're just trying to capitalize on all the Korean culture hype now that it's "cool and acceptable."
@@merrittpalmer4349 do you know her family personally? how do you know that her mother “rejected” her entire culture? just because she married a white guy doesn’t mean she’s rejecting her culture. sure they’re not as connected to their korean culture due to living in america but that doesn’t equate to any of the things you seem to be projecting onto them. calm down it’s not that deep lol.
it's kind of upsetting to see ashley responding / defending herself and her siblings in the comments about not knowing enough korean w/ other people saying "this is embarrassing i know MORE korean and i'm not even korean" like... good for you? i feel so sorry for the alexanders bc of these comments as a korean american who isn't 100% fluent. i'm happy they're embracing their heritage and culture
I agree, I think we have to remember, everyone’s situations are so different. As a 7 year old, i immigrated to the US with my parents in 2005. My brother was only 5. In the US, my mom was so shocked at seeing Korean American kids who couldn’t speak any Korean at all and was determined that my brother and I will speak, read and write in Korean. But we were also privileged that our mom and dad was able to be with us after school, and that we strictly only spoke Korean at home with my mom instructing us to write in Korean every day. It’s been 10+ years of living in the states, my mom sees the struggles of immigrants. Most Korean immigrants have to work 24/7 just to pay bills and put food on the table leaving the kids to grow up in America by themselves. A lot of people have recently been getting into Korean entertainment so they can brag that they have learned some Korean from there, but I hope they keep from judging others because our experiences and stories are all so different
Also being Korean isn’t just about understanding the language. If it was, then literally any Kdrama watcher could be Korean. There are lived experiences that you can’t get from watching shows. Like having a separate fridge for kimchi or looking forward to saebae bc even as a kid you knew that meant money. Your grandma cleaning your ears for you. Waiting outside when houseguests leave until they get in the car and drive away. Your parents not letting you sleep with the fan on. 👀 no one is allowed to take other people’s Koreanness from them just bc of their fluency or lack of fluency. I used to do that bc I was a snob and thought I was all that bc my parents made me fluent, and that’s some bs that we don’t need to see in 2021! Also, Ashley is using her platform and voice to raise awareness about hate and racism towards the AAPI community, and I think that makes her 한국인 as hell.
Exactly! Many children who are born in western countries from immigrant parents end up monolingual or are receptive bilinguals. Do these people want a cookie or an award for being able to speak Korean or something? 🙄
Thank you for the comment. 💗 I do have some regrets about not teaching them Korean when they were younger. I think if my parents lived close by, I would have tried a bit harder but that wasn’t the case for us. 🥺
@@mamaalexander5 It was the exact same for my mom - it‘s not easy at all! We can still tell that your children appreciate their second cultural identity though which is beautiful☺️💖
I'm more impressed how good Moms Korean is considering she left Korea when she was 12! Being a Korean fluent in English I enjoyed this way more than expected lol
I left my country of birth at 12, too, and never lost my fluency. But it takes commitment from the parents, and, on the children's part, a general love for and interest in languages (and a good ear), lots of reading, and spending time with other speakers of the language in question. Without at least some of those factors, it can be very difficult indeed.
Wow as a half Korean who’s mother also moved here when she was younger AND I also don’t know Korean, this was literally so entertaining!! I showed my mom this video and she laughed and thought the idea was funny af and cute!! You guys always come out with the bangers
this was such a heartwarming video, sucks that people are trying to ruin it by trying to dictate how much you should or should not know about your language just cause they consume a fraction of your culture :/
I’m a Korean-American who doesn’t speak any Korean, and I have a grandma who lives with me who can’t speak any English so it’s awkward when I help her with something because I never know how to respond to her in Korean
Their pronunciation is actually pretty good for people who don’t speak any Korean and they seem to intuitively understand a lot. I think they good actually become quite good if they learned ~~
this is like watching my mom teaching me how to cook korean food. i love their relationships with each other. can we also just listen to how their korean pronunciation is spot on and how Andrew is a pro at translating
when you're only a quarter korean. and 90% of your korean knowledge came from k-dramas. and you can understand everything momma alexander said :'). im so proud of me. & all the other korean learners out there
My husband is Korean and I am Mexican. I always see in other mixed Korean - something kids that they always get the straight hair, apparently that gene is super strong, but I would love that my future children get my curly/wavy hair like me and daddy’s eyes and look just as beautiful as you girls look. 😍 To learn a second or third language that come from your parents is very hard when everything else around is English English English. Is like parents vs the world. Is good that you show interest and love for your cultural background. Good job!
This was so wholesome, Loved it! As a Korean Learner this was enjoyable to watch, now I don’t feel so bad with my level of Korean understanding. Haha! Your family is amazing! I hope you do more of these Korean Challenges with your mother.
I love how you're all just acting like your usual weird selves and there's your mom looking at all of you smiling and thinking like "Yep, these are my kids"
Nice to stumble upon this homelike, warm-hearted video! It’s cute how you all were trying to make Korean pancake and learn Korean language. And OMG your mom is sooo beautiful. I thought she might have been on TV as an actress lol She speaks perfect English and I’m more 😮 Support from 🇰🇷
I walked into a coffee shop on uppereast side in Manhattan and the cashier girl who looked like she had Mexican or South American heritage started to talk to me in fluent conversational Korean. She said she took classes in college but she was fluent in casual conversation. It's a different world. Gotta learn some Korean.
i pulled out my korean notebook and started taking notes because this is a free class. bul is fire and mul is water? period, mother alexander, period.✍️✍️✍️
Please convey this message to your brother, “dude, you are handsome AF”. Thank you. Oh and your mom is gorg too! So do you and your sister, what a gene!

Korean culture is not her culture. Her Korean mom decided to marry white so she's white American culture, not Korean.

Im half Chinese and I cant speak Chinese AT ALL. My father never taught us and so thats how we grew up. Nothing's wrong with that.

I’m a Korean-American who doesn’t speak any Korean, and I have a grandma who lives with me who can’t speak any English so it’s awkward when I help her with something because I never know how to respond to her in Korean
I hope you can learn one day so you can connect with her
Henpunzel tho 😂
it’s easier to learn language when you are young. i hope you learn so you can communicate with your grandma!
Omg same for me with Japanese, I try and communicate with my grandma but it’s really awkward because I only speak basic level. I’m learning tho :)
Me with mine but in Spanish
