WOW !! Billy this was a great surprise to wake up to ^^ Thank you so much for reviewing my video !! Thankfully, I don’t always talk that fast, but TikTok only allows 60 secs so I had to speed through to fit everything I wanted to say ㅠㅠ I will definitely take your advice into mind and work on improving!! Thank you as always for being such a great 선생님!! Also thank you to everyone being so kind in the comments 🥺🥺 화이팅! p.s. tHANK YOU for shouting out my county Eritirea! I was born and raised in the U.S. but I love hearing people mention Eritrea :)
I watched this 5 months ago and I could barely understand what she was saying. Now I can understand at least 90% of what she’s saying without looking at the translation😭 I’m so proud of myself :’)
@@nicoleraheem1195 1. Watched a lot of kdramas in the beginning (just like everyone else I guess🙈) 2. Learned a bit of the grammar through talk to me in korean mostly. I think I went through up until level 5/6 of their lessons just for free online. Mostly just schemed through them, it was quite easy to understand I guess because I have mostly heard the grammar in kdramas. 3. I used talk to me in korean conversation/dialogues books. I listened to the same dialogues over and over and try to understand them, learn the grammar, vocabularies until I understand them🙊 4. Immersion. Up until now I still consume korean contents everyday single day, kdramas, varieties, realities I even read books sometimes (I'd recommend short stories in korean by olly richard). Now mostly with korean subtitles. I still learn some new words everyday. The learning never stops I guess hehe. I think once you get to intermediate level, watching kdramas(if you like kdramas or anything else really) with korean subtitles, even if you don't undertsand everything, really helps. It just gets your brain to get used more to the intonation, sound, sentence structure etc. I just looked up words that came up really often, it's not important to understand everything, understanding the gist of it would be good enough. Took me around a year in half to 2 years to be able to naturally form sentences. Now I even talk to myself in korean a lot lol. I hope this somewhat helps in your korean learning journey. The key is to be consistent and patient. Honestly sometimes it'll feel like you're not improving but you just gotta keep going and trust the process👍🏻
Fatimah's Korean is very impressive. Her pace of speech is about the same as that of a native speaker. Her intonation and pronunciation are excellent overall, though they can be slightly "off" here and there (very minor). BTW, I'm a native speaker and this is my first time watching your channel. I wonder how long she's been practicing Korean.
i love how this series makes me realize my own mistakes while learning korean even though i'm not the one who sent the video. thank you for this video! ❤
I made my dad buy a book from you for me to start teaching myself korean months ago I didnt even know you had a youtube channel until just now. the book is very funny to read at times thanks for getting me into the language. without your book i probably would've just tried to learn from duolingo for a week and eventually give up.
Dude this girl speaks better than me. It’s not just her pronounciation that’s impressive but the way she speaks it. Her tone, the way she almost speaks with shyness, humility, timidness, charming cuteness all balled up in one makes it sound korean. A lot of female kpop idols talk like her. So I’m assuming she also watches alot of kdramas and especially watch/listened to how female kpop idol act and talk.
U are the best teacher for korean on youtube because ur native English and explain what wrongs we make when we directly translate from English to korean. A lot of other youtubers don't. Thanku so much ♥️ I'm not native English but im learning korean through English so I would translate like this too
Great job Fatimah! Such fluency and it's inspiring to see you get to that level of Korean. Thank you so much Billy! These are so informative that I would love to hear one per day hahaha Your feedback is so detailed and such a constructive way of pointing out things to improve.
와... 파티마(Fatimah)님의 영상에도 놀랐고, 그걸 하나하나 짚어주는 빌리 선생님에게도 놀랐습니다. 아무리 생각해도 빌리 선생님은 원어민인 저보다도 한국어를 훨씬 더 깊게 잘 아는 것 같아요. 왜냐하면 전 파티마님 영상에서 뭔가 이상한 부분을 느끼지만 그걸 설명할 방법이 없는데, 빌리 선생님은 다른 예를 들어가면서 적절하게 설명하고 있거든요!
She might've memorized this phrase through Google translation. I memorize phrases but I try to memorize them from Hi Native, language learning books, or movies.
She sounds pretty close to a native speaker, but as you caught some grammar differences, I could tell too. I am Korean, I come from a Korean speaking family, so I know how it sounds. Thanks Fatima & Billy for the presentation...I am American grown & finished some foreign language studies, now so I am making a final goal of a refresher course in Korean-American School (Advanced Class). Please be patient w/me. I so enjoy the refreshers I’ve had so far.✝️
Was that from home study? I went to Korean-American School & while I’m watching Learn Korean w/Go! Billy, I would be highly surprised if you only learnt from UA-cam lessons, except if it was from Billy. His is explanatory & proper, like Korean-American School. I’m looking to go for a refresher course (Advanced Class) soon, & I hope I become successful as Billy.
Thank you billy you have been great inspiration and also Fatima unnie you are doing well I hope one day I will also be Able to speak in fluent Korean 화이팅!
Hi, Billy. The korean letter ᅴ can be read like "ui", "e" and "i", as you can see that the same Korean letter can be read differently. Have you got all the rules for reading Korean letters?
Hi Billy! Don’t know if you’ll read this, but I would really like if you made a video about spoken Korean, specially one thing I’ve been noticing more and more as I watch variety shows and dramas - is it common to speak the whole sentence and then add the subject as an after thought? Like they say the whole sentence and then add an 내가 at the end, I’m so confused by this sometimes.
@@GoBillyKorean I did watch this video before but you didn’t mention the subject coming at the very end of the sentence, that’s why I asked. I thought I was maybe imagining things but I was watching the new EXO arcade and there it was again, a 내가 at the end of the sentence. I suppose it’s the same situation as the adverb sometimes coming after the verb?
@@onecuriousowl Yes, that's what some people might do to emphasize the subject, if they didn't already do it in the sentence. It's only for spoken usage.
On these videos, it would be great to know how long they have been learning the language and to get a general sense of their process. How long does it take to achieve her level of speaking?
It's less important than you might think. ua-cam.com/video/bMePS8POYqA/v-deo.html There are some "minimum" amounts for actually becoming conversational (don't believe someone who says they learned to be fluent in just a few months), but anything beyond that really depends on how the person is studying, how much they're practicing, where they live and what opportunities they have, etc. I've seen people reach her level in a year living in Korea with lots of Korean friends, and others never get there despite studying a decade.
@@GoBillyKorean That's why I was interested in knowing her process. What resources did she use, did she live in Korea, does she have Korean friends? etc.
To be a "native" speaker I would have had to be a "native," which is not possible since I didn't grow up in Korea or live there from a very young age. "Fluent" is good enough :-)
Hey I tried to order your book but bookstores all tell me its sold out and wont be produced for quite some time :/ i wanted to learn korean and i saw a ebook version of your book and wanted to order the physical form.
Hey hey billy !! Please read this comment 🙏🙏 If i complete all of your "korean made simple" parts which are 3 till now and 1 expressions book and i guess 1 workbook ...will i be able to able to speak korean like you?? Like : will i be able to express myself to native koreans easily ?? Will i be an advanced learner like you? I know "practice" is must but still wanted to know this ...please answer me 🙏😣
No, the books only reach maybe the intermediate level at BEST (if someone is practicing everything in them too), and it can take many years to reach fluency.
@@GoBillyKorean thankyou so much billy for answering ...so what should i do to be the one i wished to? I mean a speaker like AbyP ,you and many other people? I use many sources to learn korean including your videos and soon including your books as well ...but how will i get to a point where i can speak korean whitout stressing myself and without thinking to much? I'm not in a hurry to learn but scared to fail at the end due to less resources in future:/ you're an inspiratiom billy an advice from you means a lot...
Hello, I have a question. Can u make a video how to make compound sentences? For example the bread, I ate was tasty (this will be 제가 먼 빵은 맛있어요 ?) I send this comment to your old video, so i wrote this agian 😂
Can someone tell me the difference between ; 그 남자가 좋아도, 우리 안 말해요 And 그 남자가 좋아도는데, 우리 안 말해요 (I wanted to say “ even though I like him, we don’t talk” ) P.s he’s my crush 😅😯
@@georgiavassilopoulou4377 그 남자 means that guy, who is the listener? Are you telling your friend or... I’m a little confused. Also 좋아하지만 is more natural in the sentence, and don’t use commas (Koreans don’t use it in their sentences) -> 내가 그를 좋아하지만 우리는 말하지 않아요.
@@lpsdestiny9008 thank you for clarifying!! Also, I wanted to show that I was talking to myself (I didn’t know how to say “ him” in korean that’s why I said 남자) .. I have a question tho .. can the ending -는데 be used in here or no ?
