Thank you for the video! I do actually have few tips for Naver. 1- When you use the search bar, you can type '?' to substitute for an unknown syllable, one '?' substitute a whole syllable, not just one letter, for example: If you search "들어??" this means you are searching for all words that consists of 4 letters, first being '들' second being '어' and the 3rd and 4th can be anything, It works the same as a Joker/Wild card, and then you will find all the words that match that, like 들어서다 - 들어주다 - 들어앉다 and so on. 2- You can heavily alter the search results for example sentences, when you search, always omit the '하다' or '되다' part of the word, you will find much more sentences, I guess Naver is just not smart as Google and it will search only for what's exactly (literally) typed in. 3- Regarding the audio pronunciation, you can actually save the audio file if you want to add it to a flash card program for example, it might sound complicated, but its really easy: 1-press F12 to open the console in the browser. 2-Press the mouse icon in the top left, press the speaker icon that produces the sound. 3-It will highlight a part in the HTML inside the console, look for a link that starts with "dict-dn.pstatic.net" 4- open it in a new tab, you will find that its a .mp3 file that you can just easily CTRL+S and save it to your pc.
Thank you so much for your video! I am a Korean learner from Taiwan, and as far as I know, there is no other Korean learning channel in Chinese that provides such detailed explanations on how to use the Naver dictionary like yours. Although my Korean proficiency barely passed TOPIK level 3, I understand that to make further progress, I need a greater amount of reading, comprehension, and practical use of the Korean language. Developing the ability to self-study with a dictionary is inevitable for achieving these goals. The interface of the Naver dictionary seemed a bit complicated to me, and my previous experiences with it were not very positive. However, after watching your video, I learned a lot, and I will give it a try again!
와! 고빌리 선생님, 정말 감사합니다! Honestly, Naver is the only dictionary I'm using. I thought I can only search a word on it like vocab. I'm not yet familliar with this app. This guide is really helpful!
This lesson was really useful. I have been using the Naver dictionary for the last 18 months but had no idea how to do half of the things you showed us today. Thank you so much Billy! I want to buy real book Korean- English/ English- Korean dictionary, could you please recommend the ones you like the most? Thank you so much!
I also use the word book for new words and they even have lists for by TOPIK level, you will have to sign up for an account to use these features though.
Thanks for this video. I rarely use the korean version of Naver, and only when I'm on my PC, but I really need that Hanja feature. Understanding the root parts of words is a huge part of how I operate in English and Spanish, and I find it useful in Korean too, I keep some of my Naver-searched words in a list using the grey bubble with a plus that is to the right of the word I searched. It's also possible to save example sentences. I keep my words and example sentences in separate lists. Naver has a feature where you can play the list of saved words in both Korean and the Dnglish translation plus definition (definition in Korean). I admit that I don't use the wordlist play function often...usually (rarely) when I'm just not in the mood for a podcast. I have an issue with some of the English translations of their example sentences. I think they over-apply English word rules, sorta like how english-speaking toddlers know plural words have an s on the end so they say "sheeps". I've seen that type of error in Naver several times (although not the sheeps example, specifically). That amusing quirk aside, I LOVE Naver! Unless you're advanced, I'd definitely start by always clicking on the English Naver.
Just a heads up, the 豕 in 家 is not connected to the meaning of the word at all, but rather its pronunciation. The Old Chinese word for male pig/boar was "kraː" while the Old Chinese word for house was also "kraː" The top part is a pictographic component denoting a roof, hinting at the meaning, and the part below is just a hint for its pronunciation. What Naver seems to be offering is either a folk etymology or just a mnemonic device.
Done subscribing you thank you for your informative information it really big helps to me may I ask if what is Duolingo it is a dictionary too or not thank you from Philippines 🇵🇭 subscriber
Funny, just recently I was looking at the origins of the hanja for 집 가 so when you brought it up I was like heyyy I know this lol. I looked it up while learning some hanja, and saw the 모양자 saying the second part of the character was pig and I was like ????? what 😂 so I read and translated the explanation with the picture. Very fun to read those, and helps to learn vocab. Also I appreciate the video. I look forward to reading about the etymology of some words, and looking at more synonyms and examples for a better understanding. This helps a lot because there will be stuff I don't notice because I obviously won't know specific words like 유의어 so, very helpful. 선생님 감사합니다!
I feel like most people asking to know what a word means don't want to use a dictionary or they'd have looked it up and wouldn't be asking. These are great tips though. As nice as Naver is, and it's really nice, it's still not as easy to use as many Japanese dictionary options. I keep hoping the korean/english dictionaries will catch up but so far they haven't. Naver is still light years better than using a paper dictionary 20 years ago.
Great tips, Billy! I didn’t even know most of those . Their app in Portuguese is still lacking some functions . From now on I’ll be checking the website version
@@GoBillyKorean thanks for pointing that out I probably assumed it was another phrase for the word. The challenge I have is the multiple words meaning the same thing how do you know which is appropriate for your sentence. For example to hit a piano is that the same as hitting a person? Apologies if you already have a video explaining this but when I find these words I get even more confused 🤔
I use Papago the most. I've tried using Naver, but I didn't understand it. Thank you for making it more clear for me. I also have a question; my name is Precious. There are different ways of saying this word in Korean. Which way is best for me to use to introduce myself? Thank you so much for your videos and teaching sessions. They really help me a lot.
Someone better at Korean can give you a better answer, but I assume your name in Korean would be 프레셔스 since it’s your name using Hangul. For example, my name Matthew is 매튜 in Korean. You could choose a new Korean name, but I think using a word like 소중한 as your name might sound unnatural since it’s not a Korean name that I’m aware of. I hope this helps, and anyone is free to correct me if I’m wrong
@@preciouslafleur5390 I wrote a second comment, but I don't know if it got deleted or if I sent it. I think that 소중 might be a Korean name. I searched on istagram and I found some people with that name, so maybe you could look into that and use 소중 as your translated name if you like it.
@@milktea2323 thank you. I'll look into it. I didn't see that comment before. As I did research, I found Many different words for "Precious." I know that they all have different meanings. I would like to know what variation would be my name in Korean. Thanks again!
Nah I didn’t knew that vlive thing existed because I used the Russian-Korean naver😭😭😭 I thought I should use Russian one since I’m a native Russian speaker but Instead I should’ve remembered that English always has more options 😀😭 그래서 이젠 이사하는 것 같아요,,,,
I see this jelousy of a person who study Korean towards all those people who can learn Korean just by reading manhwa and webtoons and spending time with pleasure :D The jealous ppl always say that by reading mangwa one can't learn a language or that they are just not seriously taking learning etc. As if when reading a webtoon one won't read all the translations proposed by dictionary and as if one will remember all of them at once even if not reading a manhwa. In fact I learnt 3 languages just by reading manga, comics and BD and I know many people like me. Moreover teachers always recomend reading books in language you learn, manhwa is exactly one of those books.
Thank you for the video!

아...한국어 배우는 채널이구나. 영어 사전 사용법 따로 알려주나 싶어서 들어왔는데, 듣다 보니 영어 듣기 하는 나를 발견하네 ㅎ. 말을 천천히 쉽게 해 주시니 듣기 굉장히 쉽고, 한국어에 관한 설명이라 더 듣기 쉬운 느낌이네요. 다른 영상도 함 볼게요~
it's so interesting seeing the other side of people trying to learn a language. good luck!
I understood the first sentence of your comment . It's not much but progress is progress .
you are really the most consistently helpful and educational youtube channel

when I see the butter in the back my eyes be like 👀
Smooooth 😆
been using Naver Dict for years and never knew you could find grammar just by adding a hyphen :0 thanks BillySSAEM!!

I want to buy real book Korean- English/ English- Korean dictionary, could you please recommend the ones you like the most? Thank you so much!
There are so many options for paper dictionary, and any of the modern ones will be fine. I'd pick based on the size/weight you want.
Thank you for amazing structured and super helpful information!!!!!!😄💐
I also use the word book for new words and they even have lists for by TOPIK level, you will have to sign up for an account to use these features though.
Thank you Billy for recommending this vedio 😊
These are awesome tips!! This will make it so much easier to use Naver! Thanks for putting this video together!

I needed this video
Extraordinary and useful information. Appreciated!
so so helpful! thanks!
I am gonna study in Korea from this September and this tutorial on Naver dictionary will be really helpful!
how did you manage to do that?
Great video. You here July?
Best tip for learning the Korean language.... Korean wife.
You are gifted in explaining .... :)

Awesome, I no longer have to type out a pdf with these tips, I can just link this
This video is sooooo helpful. why didn't I watch it earlier?!
Any recommendations on where to look up verb conjugations?
When you click the link for the word it opens the full entry and you should be able to see quite a few conjugations
I use Hanji app for the phone.
I use naver as my teacher recommended it
Great tips, Billy! I didn’t even know most of those . Their app in Portuguese is still lacking some functions . From now on I’ll be checking the website version
thanks so much!
I use Daum dictionary.
Daum is a good dictionary too :)
Is there a dictionary with longer explanation of what the word mean? Online or book form
Naver dictionary has full explanations, but they're in Korean.

@@seunyI explain how to do that in this video, but you would want to compare sentences to find out how words are used.
oh yes, thank you fpr the tip but can i have thr butter album?
How do you like the new blue icon and colour scheme? Do you prefer the classic green?
I don't let colors affect my Korean learning :-P I never even noticed it changed colors.

i see we're an army HAHA thanks for this!
I am curious about why I can’t find vlive examples on my NAVER dictionary.
You have to click the word, and then scroll down to see example sentences. Not every word has them. There are also Weverse examples.
Why my naver dictionary is different to yours?? No conjugation my naver
아래에 한국어 자막을 넣어 주시면 저처럼 영어 못 하는 친구들에게 더 많은 도움이 됩니다 🥺
brother how to read Korean language, daily basis.
Nah I didn’t knew that vlive thing existed because I used the Russian-Korean naver😭😭😭 I thought I should use Russian one since I’m a native Russian speaker but Instead I should’ve remembered that English always has more options 😀😭 그래서 이젠 이사하는 것 같아요,,,,
Wait I just noticed the Butter albums in the back... is Billy secretly an ARMY? 👀
우와 한국어 잘한다
I spy with my little ARMY eye 👀 BUTTER!
Butter?
Smooth.
@@GoBillyKorean yes smooth like 🧈 😁
Hey Billy don't you think you look like Charlie puth?? I think you both have pretty similar looks 😁
Not much, but I can see some similarities.
I think you kinda look like Charlie Puth

I can't speak for other languages, but I haven't heard of anyone claiming to have learned Korean just by reading comics.
The Korean pronunciations have never showed up for me, and they still aren't there for me.
It shows audio for different English accents though.
Update: Okay, I see on the website that if I switch to the Korean dictionary, I get the Korean audio. Just not sure how to do it on the mobile app.
고빌리 선생님 오늘은 어떤 영감을…
I had naver dictionary on my phone for like 6 months but never actually used it LOL, just papago 🥲
