Thank you so much for your support!! But, I found one point which might be misguided in this video. (I hope it hasn't.) It is, "Can you believe it took me less than a year to speak English this much through sentence pattern learning?" So, I want to get it right and give you more precise information about it. It’s been 7 months passed since I started learning English “through sentence patterns.” I learned English when I was a student at school. I think I was around the upper beginner level when I started learning English sentence patterns. So basically, what I mean by “Can you believe it took only less than a year for me to speak English this much?” is that “It hasn’t been even a year since I started “learning sentence patterns” and “practicing speaking”, not the entire English learning. (It was my mistake not explaining it specifically on the video.🙏) But I can assure you that I was unable to express my thoughts in English despite receiving English education at school, before I learned English sentence patterns. Because I attended a social gathering held in Gangnam, where I could have conversations with many English speakers, before I learned sentence patterns. At that time, I thought I could speak English kind of well. However, I almost couldn't say anything in English. I still remember the only English sentence I kept saying was "Words are on the tip of my tongue", which I learned from an English proverbs book. I was there with my friend, and she said "Can't believe how quiet a talkative guy like you gets." I was shocked by that experience. So I started searching for good learning materials. And then I found an English pattern book, "English Patterns 233". And my overall understanding and speaking ability in English has skyrocketed since I started learning English sentence patterns. Because the more I learned English patterns, the more comfortable I have a conversation with native English speakers. Of course, I tried many other things to improve my English fast. (If you wonder what exactly I did : ua-cam.com/video/E-VFBG7bfhM/v-deo.html) Anyway, it’s definitely true that learning sentence patterns helped my English so much, especially escaping from beginner level really fast. So, if you’re a beginner, I highly recommend you to try learning essential & frequent Korean sentence patterns! Lastly, I hope there will be no more misunderstandings...! Thank you for reading this, and have a great day!! Best regards, David Kim.
@@allergictohumansnotanimals5671 it is the easiest. English is the most used language on the internet and in media. So everyone is exposed to the language without even noticing
When I watched this, something clicked. It reminded me of when I was studying Russian back in the early ‘90s. My instructor recorded herself reading a short book called Домек на болоте (Little House in the Swamp). Each recorded segment consisted of two or three paragraphs. She would first read it at a slow speed so that we could read along as we listened. Then she read it through a second time, dissecting the grammar of each sentence, providing more examples. The third time she read each sentence very slowly, leaving enough time for us to repeat it after her. The fourth time she read the text at a normal speed. I would listen to the tapes on my way to work, on the way to class, on my way back to work, and then on my way home. I listened so many times that I learned the first few pages by heart. There were even times when I would wake up repeating some sentence or sentence fragment that had gotten stuck in my head (крыса которая выздоровела - the rat that had recovered). And when I would sit down to take a test, I would hear her voice in my head. I would think, oh, this word - герой - hero) - is an animate masculine noun like the name Sergei (Сергей), so when we say something like “I like Sergei,” we have to decline his name, so that it becomes Сергея (Я люблю Сергея). “I see the hero” then becomes Я вижу героя. The pattern had become engrained in me! Anyway, now, in my 70s, when my memory is not what it once was, I’m going to take a chance and try your book. I’m really excited. 고마워요!
"Then she read it through a second time, dissecting the grammar of each sentence, providing more examples. " This is how you learn grammar. I stooped watching this video after "learn as children do, without grammar".
You're such a genius God bless you ! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us I'm so thankful ! I'm personally an Arabic native speaker and English is actually my third language and i can confirm every statement in this video bcz i realized that i used a similar method to "sentence patterns " unconsciously to learn English , so i can say that this method is applicable in any language learning journey Thanks for the explanation sir !
Just repeat it until you memories it... Doesn't matter is it 1 or 3 or 5 or even 100 time u can't memories just repeat it untill it stuck on your brain V:
@@YanYi-be6yw A UA-cam teacher once said: when you have encountered a new word in a meaningful context 10 times, it will probably stick. So the challenge is to get exposed to so much meaningful input that you get to those 10 times. I just came back from a Korean Immersion course in Seoul. One of the participants was very good, even though she lives in a small town in Norway and she is not married to a Korean. It turned out that she spent thousands of hours digesting meaningful content, mainly spoken, not written.
this is so true. i also learned english naturally through pattern recognition. tbh, i don't think i would be this fluent if i hadn't spent my teenage years yapping on stan twt, trying to imitate the way native speakers compose their sentences lol
Completely agree. I have been a Korean language learner for last 1 year. So, I can imagine the amount of sheer hard work that must have went into it. I will buy it right away. 수고하셨어요. 감사합니다.
I think its also important „which kind of learner you are“. I need Grammar. It have to be logical for me, and I also love Grammar. I know its weird, bc who loves Grammar. But I also love the Grammar from my mother language. That is the coolest thing in a language.
you can learn grammar after learning the pattern. I had insights multiple times when I was learning japanese. I learned a sentence and days after, I understood its grammar
@@ricardotorresleme11 At the beginning I totally agree. When sentences becoming more complicated and longer, and I think this is in every language, you need to understand the grammar. And like I said, it totally depends on the "learning type" and if you are an easy language learner. If this method works for you, than totally go for it! As for me, I am not a pattern learner. Never was, neither in a language nor in math or similar subjects.
@@lima8322You may have a hard time with Korean, the grammar is endless, I discover new verb endings almost every day, and there are so many combinations. Plus, even if you know them all, as a foreigner you will never combine them as native speakers do. I like grammar, and one of the appeals of Korean is the “jazz” of its grammar, the way it is driven by complex emotions.
Exactly! I'm Brazilian so I speak Portuguese. People here hate our grammar because they find the rules complicated but I've always found them very easy and practical. And it's funny cause they really need to study them cause they speak and write very incorrectly. I started studying Korean for the vocabulary to be able to form sentences but I like the grammar. Once I discover the ending of a verb I can conjugate all the verbs I know using purely my acquired knowledge. I don't need to memorize entire sentences illogically because I LEARNED the LOGIC behind them. So much easier...
I agree that we don't need to know specific grammar rules to learn a language as a child, but it's different when learning a second language. Yes, we can develop an intuitive sense for a language even as adults. Although, honing that sense takes thousands of hours of getting input from the language to develop. For most people, they don't want to wait for hundreds or thousands of hours for their brain to slowly piece together the grammar. Learning at least the basics of the grammar rules makes that process speed up greatly as adults are a lot better at studying and applying rules than children. Personally, I think a combination of lots of input from the language and studying is the most time effective way. Only getting input or only studying often takes a while to show results and leave gaps in knowledge. Even in English, everyone has to be taught English grammar to write correctly as there are unintuitive rules that even native speakers regularly get wrong without being taught. The same goes for any other language, people are much better at outputting the language after studying the specifics of the grammar.
First, thank you for sharing your perspective. I really appreciate that! Because I’m always open to many different views from mine! Back to the point, I’m not saying “do not learn grammar!” or “learning grammar is useless!” Here is exactly what I’ve said in this video. 01:18 “At this point, you might be curious like ‘So, you mean don’t ever think of learning Korean grammar?’ That’s not what I meant. You have to learn Korean grammar to be fluent in Korean. Otherwise, you would speak just a disordered, chaotic set of words.” However, as you already know, learning a language by learning only (or mainly) grammar is not effective. And that’s why I suggested the pattern learning method to help Korean learners learn not only sentence structures and their parts, but also grammar with way less stress. (I believe you’ve captured this point if you watched this video until the end!) Lastly, thank you so much for sharing your opinion again, and have a nice day!
@@davidkim_kr Aha okay. You might be aware of the fact that some people give up watching the video because you were not clear about that from the start.
This video offers a fresh perspective on language learning. As a native Turkish speaker, I've found that the grammar structures in Korean have similarities to Turkish, which has made learning easier in some aspects. However, there are still noticeable differences that require attention. One of the most effective strategies for me has been consistent exposure to Korean content. By immersing myself in the language, I began recognizing common patterns, and over time, my ability to form new sentences more naturally has improved significantly through the similar approach.
I don't know turkish but I remeber that many times when my cousin watched turkish series, in several occassions I was surprised because I thought she was watching k-dramas, many times I confused the turkish language in terms of how it sounds with korean. I am not a linguistic but I know that there should be an explanation for it. just said this cause it can be a fun fact for u.
Such a simple yet smart idea honestly, the way you were explaining it just clicked something in my brain and I've never ran to purchase a book this fast. I still need to understand and teach my self grammar to be able to have an understanding of what's going on, but this is almost like a cheat code to a language!!! I'll definitely immerse myself in both. So thank you so much for this!!!!
Just bought your book! As a speaker of multiple languages, I was able to relate to your method. I can’t wait to try as I have been a longtime learner of Korean and now live in Korea. ❤ Hope this boosts and reinforces my learning while here!
I feel like you can't totally pick up a new language just by immersion learning the way you would with your native language. The difference is as an adult,, you already have a framework of the language that you grew up speaking and thinking in... word order is the big thing here, because when I watch a Kdrama, my brain expects to hear Subject/Verb/Object, but when I look at a word for word translation, its completely jumbled up. So in order to say a Korean sentence that isn't just a phrase I've picked up, I need to not only know words and pronunciation, but also order. Also honorifics aren't really a thing in English, even though we have ways of showing respect and formality, so I have to know what the endings are and when to use them.
Yes, its right, for me is so confusing how korean has verbs at the end, is just nothing similar to spanish and english which I speak, I havent bought the book yet, but I saw this video and actually I find it kind useful, not to use it to learn the whole language just with it, but if u use it as a tool, I believe it can help a lot, at least this is my first perspective. Why I think so? Ive been watching kdramas many years and I know basic words and seeing the patterns in the video I could relate the words and meaning, I even recognized a verb I felt familiar with even though I didnt know the conjugation which was different. So I am considering to buy it cuz it can be a good inversion. Ive been wanting to learn korean for so long but Duolingo just help with vocabulary and many other resources dont actually tell me how to speak. I went to an exchange semester in the US and I have some korean friends, when I tried asking what do you prefer? this or this, she was like what? bc the way I learned wasnt natural. So if this is more natural, I believe if u use it proper and complement by learning meanings yourself, it can be really good. First, I'm going to ask to some friends. Also the pronunciation below a word, is so useful bc its a common mistake I do when I read whithout having heard the word before. And this is my full opinion until now.
@@battarabbit8827 keyword being ONCE YOU KNOW IT. of course learning it is important. I was just pointing out that in order to learn it, you have to grasp the differences between what you're used to and what you're hearing. Once you learn what to expect, you can untangle yourself from your own preconceptions. But I know for me, I would learn the wrong sentence patterns if I just listened with english subtitles. But when I learn the structure and THEN listen, it's a lot more helpful for recognizing patterns.
@@ohifonlyx33 Maybe my comment was unclear because I agree with you. I guess the "knowing" of sentence structure and a few other things seem to be possible for me with pattern recognition fairly quickly but not in complete context of grammar rules. Anyway, we have the same thoughts after all.
i learn korean but i'm not beginner anymore. Practice grammar and speaking as much as you can, you will make faster progress. Understand grammar specially korean grammar is so important to understand korean culture and their level of politeness etc and the language nuance, there are so many nuance in korean and a lot of grammar rules in korean, you have to understand the rules to understand the nuance too.
I'm shocked that this video didn't get a million views ??? It's so underrated you deserve the best .. i hope this video reaches every language learner It's such a lot of help
As someone who’s exposed to Korean language for more than a decade, I’m not proud to say that I’m still not fluent in the language as I haven’t learned it properly. I can watch anything Korean and understand at least 60-70% without subtitles, but I can’t make proper sentences. I’ve been looking for some Korean online courses and came across this video. I have to say I agree with you and maybe your book is what I need to improve my knowledge in Korean.
I understand that problem. I have learned English in school for 10+ years. I understood back then everything. I watched series' and read English books etc. So no problem at all with that. But the speaking was completely horrible. As for me it just helped that I startet to speak. I looked online for a learning partner who spoke English and we did many hours of phone calls speaking only in English. This helped me so much. There are many apps out there, where you can find ppl like that.
Hi David, UA-cam algorithm made me found your video and long story short I just bought your book! Thank you for your effort to teach us, I can’t wait to study the book! Greetings from Ireland
Congratulations 🙌 you just made a couple of million people happy by creating this book! Learning a language this way makes so much sense, I immediately hoped that you have some teaching materials to recommend and when you said you created this book I was sold immediately😁
I became topik level 5 in 2 years, and one of my friends just started learning Korean and she asked me to help her. I will totally recommend your book to her! It sounds great
My teacher put effort into me putting effort into to correct pronunciation of the letters and their combinations first. Now I can hear and recognise words in a kdrama and understand the order they occur in conversation.
Just purchased your book and I’m so excited to give this a try! I’ve been studying Korean now for about 1.5 yrs and it seems like I’m stuck. Thank you for your hard work!
Hello, I am native Spanish speaker and I've been studying Korean for the last 9 months. However, I don't know what happens to my brain it's difficult for me to memorize words and conjugations. Since English is my second language, I recently realized that my brain absorbs way better by learning Korean through English instead of Spanish to Korean.. 😅 since I have a "spanish native lazy brain," I was looking for something different to start with... and I think I've already found it ❤ 감사합니다
Agreed -- it's true for any acquired language - the way you describe the censoring effects of grammar learning is exactly what happened to me wrt French in school.
I’ve been learning Korean for a year and trying almost everything but feeling like it isn’t sticking. I instantly felt like this book is what I’ve been looking for. Purchased right away. Thank you so much
I love the thought of this, it’s teaching us how to learn a language like how we’ve learned our native language, in a natural way. Extremely smart view of things, I’ll definitely look into buying the book.
So, I reached A0-B2 in German in a year, while learning grammar. You want to tell me that you were able to speak your language at that level when you were 1 year old?
Hello David, thank you so much for the video and also the book. You must be a programmer! It's amazing that the words are linked to a table of all the conjugations. Also it's wonderful that audio examples were recorded too. I will get the book and try to practice the patterns with some friends. I think physically speaking the language is the hardest part. Take care and thanks for your work, -becky
Thank you for your hard effort into creating this book! I will try this method of learning Korean for a while and see how it goes. I'm sure it will be of great help. You earned yourself a subscribe and a like! /With warm love and caring from a random half thai half swedish guy in Sweden ❤
Thank you, this is very helpful. I am very new to the Korean language and sometimes I really feel overwhelmed and frustrated. I feel there is a lot to learn and I don't know where to start. I will buy the book. Please keep making more videos to teach Korean.
Presentation of the method of learning / showcasing effectiveness / promoting the product that helps you learn through that method This video has it all. It's either you don't find this method efficient at the stage of presentation or you follow the link and buy the book. Nothing in between)) Really liked it, but I was looking for tips to connect Korean sounds faster when pronouncing, whatever))
It really is like I was destined to find you. I've been studying with lots of input as my main priority with some learning material on the side (because it's what I did with English) but have been feeling super frustrated that I can't make sentences. Then, maybe 3 days ago I realized that the reason why I struggle is due to what you perfectly called self censoring. I can tell that the sentence sounds awkward and unnatural so my introvertedness takes over and I stop trying. I bought your book maybe 12 hours ago and I've been looking through it all day and I am so excited to practice and build my confidence. I love that the book is so well organized. You've done such a great job with this book! Congratulations on rising in subscribers so quickly too. :)
I was actually planning to buy a Korean grammar book to learn how to write sentences on my own. But this month, I started Korean immersion through the Refold method, and this book will definitely be a great help in recognizing sentence patterns that I’m naturally acquiring during my comprehensible input. It seems like the perfect complement to the Refold method! Thanks for creating this, David! It arrived at just the right time, and I’ll definitely give it a try. 💯🙌
Uhmmm wow 😅 I've been learning Korean on my own since this summer, and I've just started creating pattern tables with ChatGPT. Of course, I'm going a bit slowly because I'm figuring them out on my own. But I wanted to tell you that you're a genius for creating the book 🌟 I'll probably buy it to compare it with the tables I've made.
omg this is the kind of book i've been looking for my since i started learning korean !! I trust this method because i did the same to learn other languages, and it has given me great results. Thank you so much, teacher! ♥♥
We need to be able to know how to pronounce the Korean alphabet and read it in order to learn the patterns, no? A lesson by on on how to do that would be great. I’ve watched 100’s of hours of KDramas and I haven’t picked up but a few words. Going to Korea next month! I think you have a very good teaching style and your English is great! Thanks
I would recommend "SEEMLIE KOREAN" channel's playlist of Teacher Jenny. She explains how to pronounce the the alphabets as well as how to pronounce the alphabets in a sentence.
woww this was eye opening im definitely going to get this book and pick up korean. Thank you so much it includes everything what i always looked for in a korean learning book It kind of reminds me of my english book we used at school with the conjugation table which is amazing
I've been learning Chinese, Korean, Japanese ，Farsi, Spanish and Arabic all at the same time in only less than a year and this method is very very effective! I discovered this method while doing my own research on how languages are being acquired. Language is acquired by imitation- imitating the sounds.! I don't need this book because I created my own sentence patterns using AI. But I'm still buying it because of the conjugations he made and also compare his patterns being a native Korean speaker with mine which I developed with the help of AI.
This makes complete sense I was focusing on my Chinese language learning and looking for tips to learning but I just bought your book 😅 I was learning Korean before and was meaning to come back when am at intermediate level of Chinese. The audio are laid out well relieved its not interlaced with English so I can fully immerse Thank you.
Do you think the book is worth it even for intermediate level? I’ve been studying for a few years but your method seems to be the best. Maybe even your book for beginners can still help me learn new things, what do you think?
Actually, there are intermediate learners who bought my book. And I personally would say that, if you’re struggling speaking in Korean, my book could be helpful even for intermediate learners. But that’s my opinion, whether my book is really helpful to intermediate learners depends on whom to use it. So, if you let me know what’s your the most difficult part, I think I can tell you more accurately.
I think this is a great idea. Reminds me when I watched anime since I was 4 but never knew how to speak or understand Japanese, until I studied Japnese in college. Once I learned the gramar, it started getting easier to understand Japanese even while watching anime in the background, but it wasn't just coz it was the grammar, but it was also learning the patterns. Amazing video, I think it's worth watching.
Your book sounds promising! The only thing though is that you haven't mention on whether your sentences are considered natural and used among native speakers. I'll share my background and experience as someone who's struggling in studying Korean. As someone who spent about over 2 years of studying Korean using textbooks, I feel like I didn't learn much and there was little progress. One of the issues is that many teachers, who I took lessons from, used Korean textbooks. And there was all of these grammars I had to only focus on. One beginner textbook that I remembered is that all of the sentences were in (으)니까 and 습니다 endings. Sentences were very formal and I don't hear Koreans speak that way on a daily basis. And sometimes not natural. I feel like traditional text books often slow down progress when you want to speak Korean more naturally. I also hear that natives notice that some English natives, who speak Korean after mastering all of these textbooks, sometimes sound too direct and sound like a talking textbook. I'm pretty sure us Korean learners don't want to sound that way. And it seems like the best way to speak like a native is to hear how they communicate. Recently, I started taking lessons from teachers who avoids teaching from textbooks. And these teachers are more valuable from my experience. I'm even noticing some patterns after hearing how Korean native speak with each other. I couldn't make it this far if I only focused on traditional Korean textbooks.
Love this video because I recently discovered learning sentences from kato lombs book. She has a section where she talks about learning vocab and grammar through sentences. I have already seen a huge improvement in my Korean from sentences. Anyways Im def getting the E book. Your English is amazing. I would love to learn how to properly pronounce the ㄹ in korean. I really struggle with it. Maybe that could be a good video idea. Thanks again!
This has changed my mindset :) I have loved learning and understanding grammar but I've now found myself bogged down in it. After listening to your videos, I find I am recognising 'patterns' everywhere .... it's exciting and encouraging .... thank you so much. I will order your book :)
I wished this video was posted before i bought all these other expensive korean grammar books 😭 Just bought your book tho will come back in a few months for a review ☺️
What you had said is correct regarding so called "living" or rather spoken languages only. But one cannot deal with text in Sanskrit or Ancient Greek without knowing the grammar first.
Wow ! I’ve been learning Korean for 9 months now and I was beginning to get frustrated as I spend 3-4 hours studying each day but don’t seem to be processing at all with my speaking, I really struggle to get my thoughts out as I am too focused on how to construct the sentences in my head. Your video made me realise that all my language learning material is just based on korean grammar and the way you explained it made complete sense. So I bought your book straight away ! and will be using it as my main learning source moving forward. I am Really excited to see how it will improve my Korean. 감사합니다 !! 😇👏
I feel so much appreciated that you consider my book as a main learning material🥹 Besides the book, I’ll do my best to help your Korean learning! 아자아자 파이팅!
I learn korean too, i'm not beginner anymore but intermediate but my speaking skill is between beginner and intermediate lol and it's okay to make mistake when you speak, it's normal. Try to figure out what is your struggle, is it the particule? Try to understand them and use it, speak. More you speak specially with a korean or a korean teacher, more you will be able to speak more fluently without thinking too much, specially when you understand grammar and use frequent grammar, you will know it without thinking
Hmm. I think this could be useful. I'm always trying to find phrases I can use to memorize grammar, for example for the subjext marking particle and object marking particle I use, 저는 김치를 좋아해요 so i remember that 는 is subject and 를 is object.
I've been exposed to korean for almost 6 years 😅 through korean TV shows and korean contents but still don't understand it fully i totally understand your point and it's exactly what I need thank you. 🙏😊
Yes me too haha, but my understanding skill is better than my speaking because i watch kdrama since 10 years, but i speak less and i learn korean seriously just about 2 years ago

I would never learn a language with someone who doesn't teach grammar. And this is how I learned my language, without learning grammar: 1. firstly, I was constantly immerged in a language, and only after few months I started to try out some sounds of it. 2. after few more months, I started speaking gibberish 3. After a whole years of being immerged in my native language, i managed to say my first word. It took me few weeks to say my second word. 4. Finally, after being constantly immerged in my native language, with everyone around me spoke it to me constantly, I started speaking by using simple sentences. Just as the adults, who learn languages while learning grammar, were able to speak after few months of learning. Children need two years for that, so do your math. 5. With some three years I was speaking fluently, but with frequent mistakes. Adults needed to correct me all the time. Let's say like an adult who learns with grammar after 6 months to 1 year of learning. So, no way I want to spend far more time for learning a language then I could. Yes, children learn their native language without learning grammar and this is why they can barely speak after two years of learning it.
I think learning super basic grammar is important. But only the main structure of the sentence (in this case it's subject object verd), and a few other things here and there like how to make a question, tenses, etc. But if you go way to in-depth with it you will be over learning. Lots of learning comes naturally/overtime and if you try to learn everysingle thing thing that's how you'll become fluent, you won't really get anywhere

But when I click a link to the Book, my browser shows this message: “This connection is not private ... You should close this page. Safari warns you when a website has a sertificate that is not valid. This may happen if the website is misconfigured ...” Some mistake? How to do? I really want to buy this book.
And before everything else, thank you so much for your heart-warming words!!! I feel so much rewarded and appreciated! Thank you for giving me the power to keep running this channel!
In the beginning of the year, I started to learn Korean as my second language after English (My mother language is Spanish). Comprehensible Input honestly is the best way to learn a language. 정말 한국어가 제 최고의 언어가 될 것 같습니다!
I learnt Korean for 3 years and im a soloist that sings in korean im not fluent in english as much im Chinese-Filipino African-American but english is hard I know basics or I just look on the Translation on english
Im almost six months in learning korean and I had my first conversation a week ago. I struggled to form my words in my head and felt embarrassed that it I couldn't do it right away. I'm definitely going to check this book out! For anyone interested, I'm learning with Rocket Korean, TTMIK, Anki, Patchim (which is my favorite "learning game" app) and various UA-cam content.
this is basically how i learned. i just asked natives how to say a sentence like "learning korean is fun" then substituted 배우다 for all the irregulars, even if it didnt make sense (like 덥다) so i could see the how diff verbs attached to 는것. the problem with my method is finding people willing to do it. no luck in japanese but i got super lucky with korean. so i was able to learn easily. and now thanks to you, so will others^^ ❤ though for your example my guess was 커피보다 차가 더 좋은 것 같아요 ㅋㅋㅋ

It is, "Can you believe it took me less than a year to speak English this much through sentence pattern learning?"
So, I want to get it right and give you more precise information about it.
It’s been 7 months passed since I started learning English “through sentence patterns.” I learned English when I was a student at school. I think I was around the upper beginner level when I started learning English sentence patterns.
So basically, what I mean by “Can you believe it took only less than a year for me to speak English this much?” is that “It hasn’t been even a year since I started “learning sentence patterns” and “practicing speaking”, not the entire English learning. (It was my mistake not explaining it specifically on the video.🙏)
But I can assure you that I was unable to express my thoughts in English despite receiving English education at school, before I learned English sentence patterns.
Because I attended a social gathering held in Gangnam, where I could have conversations with many English speakers, before I learned sentence patterns. At that time, I thought I could speak English kind of well.
However, I almost couldn't say anything in English. I still remember the only English sentence I kept saying was "Words are on the tip of my tongue", which I learned from an English proverbs book.
I was there with my friend, and she said "Can't believe how quiet a talkative guy like you gets."
I was shocked by that experience. So I started searching for good learning materials. And then I found an English pattern book, "English Patterns 233".
And my overall understanding and speaking ability in English has skyrocketed since I started learning English sentence patterns.
Because the more I learned English patterns, the more comfortable I have a conversation with native English speakers.
Of course, I tried many other things to improve my English fast. (If you wonder what exactly I did : ua-cam.com/video/E-VFBG7bfhM/v-deo.html)
Anyway, it’s definitely true that learning sentence patterns helped my English so much, especially escaping from beginner level really fast.
So, if you’re a beginner, I highly recommend you to try learning essential & frequent Korean sentence patterns!
Lastly, I hope there will be no more misunderstandings...!
Thank you for reading this, and have a great day!!
Best regards, David Kim.
English is the easiest language on the planet.
@@jeboshifru says a person who speaks English💀 while it’s easier than Arabic, it’s harder than Korean.
@@allergictohumansnotanimals5671 it is the easiest. English is the most used language on the internet and in media. So everyone is exposed to the language without even noticing
@@Squish-z1y I’m talking about sentence structure and grammar, not how accessible it is.
When I watched this, something clicked. It reminded me of when I was studying Russian back in the early ‘90s. My instructor recorded herself reading a short book called Домек на болоте (Little House in the Swamp). Each recorded segment consisted of two or three paragraphs. She would first read it at a slow speed so that we could read along as we listened. Then she read it through a second time, dissecting the grammar of each sentence, providing more examples. The third time she read each sentence very slowly, leaving enough time for us to repeat it after her. The fourth time she read the text at a normal speed. I would listen to the tapes on my way to work, on the way to class, on my way back to work, and then on my way home. I listened so many times that I learned the first few pages by heart. There were even times when I would wake up repeating some sentence or sentence fragment that had gotten stuck in my head (крыса которая выздоровела - the rat that had recovered). And when I would sit down to take a test, I would hear her voice in my head. I would think, oh, this word - герой - hero) - is an animate masculine noun like the name Sergei (Сергей), so when we say something like “I like Sergei,” we have to decline his name, so that it becomes Сергея (Я люблю Сергея). “I see the hero” then becomes Я вижу героя. The pattern had become engrained in me!
Anyway, now, in my 70s, when my memory is not what it once was, I’m going to take a chance and try your book. I’m really excited. 고마워요!
Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable experience!! 저야말로 감사합니다!
Какая замечательная история! Благодарю ❤❤❤!!!!!

"Then she read it through a second time, dissecting the grammar of each sentence, providing more examples. "
This is how you learn grammar. I stooped watching this video after "learn as children do, without grammar".
You're such a genius God bless you ! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us I'm so thankful !
I'm personally an Arabic native speaker and English is actually my third language and i can confirm every statement in this video bcz i realized that i used a similar method to "sentence patterns " unconsciously to learn English , so i can say that this method is applicable in any language learning journey
Thanks for the explanation sir !
This is genius. I'm buying it. The only issue I see is that it still requires memorizing vocabulary, which is my problem. My memory is the worst.
Just repeat it until you memories it... Doesn't matter is it 1 or 3 or 5 or even 100 time u can't memories just repeat it untill it stuck on your brain V:
My memory too , but repetition and recalling what you study helps a lot ,
@@YanYi-be6yw A UA-cam teacher once said: when you have encountered a new word in a meaningful context 10 times, it will probably stick. So the challenge is to get exposed to so much meaningful input that you get to those 10 times. I just came back from a Korean Immersion course in Seoul. One of the participants was very good, even though she lives in a small town in Norway and she is not married to a Korean. It turned out that she spent thousands of hours digesting meaningful content, mainly spoken, not written.
this is so true. i also learned english naturally through pattern recognition. tbh, i don't think i would be this fluent if i hadn't spent my teenage years yapping on stan twt, trying to imitate the way native speakers compose their sentences lol
GIRRRLL ME TOO OMG
yess same lmao
Yapping on stan twt is so relatable omfg 😂
What is Stan twt

Ive been trying to learn Korean for 2 months. I need you as my teacher huhuhuu
Let’s learn it together!
Completely agree.
I have been a Korean language learner for last 1 year. So, I can imagine the amount of sheer hard work that must have went into it. I will buy it right away. 수고하셨어요. 감사합니다.
Thank you so much for acknowledging my efforts! I really hope it helps you!!
I think its also important „which kind of learner you are“. I need Grammar. It have to be logical for me, and I also love Grammar. I know its weird, bc who loves Grammar. But I also love the Grammar from my mother language. That is the coolest thing in a language.
you can learn grammar after learning the pattern. I had insights multiple times when I was learning japanese. I learned a sentence and days after, I understood its grammar
@@ricardotorresleme11 At the beginning I totally agree. When sentences becoming more complicated and longer, and I think this is in every language, you need to understand the grammar.
And like I said, it totally depends on the "learning type" and if you are an easy language learner. If this method works for you, than totally go for it! As for me, I am not a pattern learner. Never was, neither in a language nor in math or similar subjects.
@@lima8322You may have a hard time with Korean, the grammar is endless, I discover new verb endings almost every day, and there are so many combinations. Plus, even if you know them all, as a foreigner you will never combine them as native speakers do. I like grammar, and one of the appeals of Korean is the “jazz” of its grammar, the way it is driven by complex emotions.
I also love grammar😅
Exactly! I'm Brazilian so I speak Portuguese. People here hate our grammar because they find the rules complicated but I've always found them very easy and practical. And it's funny cause they really need to study them cause they speak and write very incorrectly. I started studying Korean for the vocabulary to be able to form sentences but I like the grammar. Once I discover the ending of a verb I can conjugate all the verbs I know using purely my acquired knowledge. I don't need to memorize entire sentences illogically because I LEARNED the LOGIC behind them. So much easier...
I agree that we don't need to know specific grammar rules to learn a language as a child, but it's different when learning a second language. Yes, we can develop an intuitive sense for a language even as adults. Although, honing that sense takes thousands of hours of getting input from the language to develop. For most people, they don't want to wait for hundreds or thousands of hours for their brain to slowly piece together the grammar. Learning at least the basics of the grammar rules makes that process speed up greatly as adults are a lot better at studying and applying rules than children.
Personally, I think a combination of lots of input from the language and studying is the most time effective way. Only getting input or only studying often takes a while to show results and leave gaps in knowledge. Even in English, everyone has to be taught English grammar to write correctly as there are unintuitive rules that even native speakers regularly get wrong without being taught. The same goes for any other language, people are much better at outputting the language after studying the specifics of the grammar.
First, thank you for sharing your perspective. I really appreciate that! Because I’m always open to many different views from mine!
Back to the point, I’m not saying “do not learn grammar!” or “learning grammar is useless!” Here is exactly what I’ve said in this video.
01:18 “At this point, you might be curious like ‘So, you mean don’t ever think of learning Korean grammar?’ That’s not what I meant. You have to learn Korean grammar to be fluent in Korean. Otherwise, you would speak just a disordered, chaotic set of words.”
However, as you already know, learning a language by learning only (or mainly) grammar is not effective. And that’s why I suggested the pattern learning method to help Korean learners learn not only sentence structures and their parts, but also grammar with way less stress. (I believe you’ve captured this point if you watched this video until the end!)
Lastly, thank you so much for sharing your opinion again, and have a nice day!
@@davidkim_kr Aha okay. You might be aware of the fact that some people give up watching the video because you were not clear about that from the start.
This video offers a fresh perspective on language learning.
As a native Turkish speaker, I've found that the grammar structures in Korean have similarities to Turkish, which has made learning easier in some aspects. However, there are still noticeable differences that require attention. One of the most effective strategies for me has been consistent exposure to Korean content. By immersing myself in the language, I began recognizing common patterns, and over time, my ability to form new sentences more naturally has improved significantly through the similar approach.
I don't know turkish but I remeber that many times when my cousin watched turkish series, in several occassions I was surprised because I thought she was watching k-dramas, many times I confused the turkish language in terms of how it sounds with korean. I am not a linguistic but I know that there should be an explanation for it. just said this cause it can be a fun fact for u.
Such a simple yet smart idea honestly, the way you were explaining it just clicked something in my brain and I've never ran to purchase a book this fast. I still need to understand and teach my self grammar to be able to have an understanding of what's going on, but this is almost like a cheat code to a language!!! I'll definitely immerse myself in both. So thank you so much for this!!!!
I bought the PDF - perhaps an APP version in the future - HOW TO STUDY KOREAN.
Just bought your book! As a speaker of multiple languages, I was able to relate to your method. I can’t wait to try as I have been a longtime learner of Korean and now live in Korea. ❤ Hope this boosts and reinforces my learning while here!
I feel like you can't totally pick up a new language just by immersion learning the way you would with your native language. The difference is as an adult,, you already have a framework of the language that you grew up speaking and thinking in... word order is the big thing here, because when I watch a Kdrama, my brain expects to hear Subject/Verb/Object, but when I look at a word for word translation, its completely jumbled up. So in order to say a Korean sentence that isn't just a phrase I've picked up, I need to not only know words and pronunciation, but also order. Also honorifics aren't really a thing in English, even though we have ways of showing respect and formality, so I have to know what the endings are and when to use them.
Yes, its right, for me is so confusing how korean has verbs at the end, is just nothing similar to spanish and english which I speak, I havent bought the book yet, but I saw this video and actually I find it kind useful, not to use it to learn the whole language just with it, but if u use it as a tool, I believe it can help a lot, at least this is my first perspective. Why I think so? Ive been watching kdramas many years and I know basic words and seeing the patterns in the video I could relate the words and meaning, I even recognized a verb I felt familiar with even though I didnt know the conjugation which was different. So I am considering to buy it cuz it can be a good inversion. Ive been wanting to learn korean for so long but Duolingo just help with vocabulary and many other resources dont actually tell me how to speak. I went to an exchange semester in the US and I have some korean friends, when I tried asking what do you prefer? this or this, she was like what? bc the way I learned wasnt natural. So if this is more natural, I believe if u use it proper and complement by learning meanings yourself, it can be really good. First, I'm going to ask to some friends. Also the pronunciation below a word, is so useful bc its a common mistake I do when I read whithout having heard the word before. And this is my full opinion until now.
Isn't word order just another pattern? Once you know it, do you have to think of it every time you see or hear a sentence?
@@battarabbit8827 keyword being ONCE YOU KNOW IT. of course learning it is important. I was just pointing out that in order to learn it, you have to grasp the differences between what you're used to and what you're hearing. Once you learn what to expect, you can untangle yourself from your own preconceptions. But I know for me, I would learn the wrong sentence patterns if I just listened with english subtitles. But when I learn the structure and THEN listen, it's a lot more helpful for recognizing patterns.
Language immersion and pattern recognition are two totally different concepts.
@@ohifonlyx33 Maybe my comment was unclear because I agree with you. I guess the "knowing" of sentence structure and a few other things seem to be possible for me with pattern recognition fairly quickly but not in complete context of grammar rules. Anyway, we have the same thoughts after all.
i learn korean but i'm not beginner anymore. Practice grammar and speaking as much as you can, you will make faster progress.
Understand grammar specially korean grammar is so important to understand korean culture and their level of politeness etc and the language nuance, there are so many nuance in korean and a lot of grammar rules in korean, you have to understand the rules to understand the nuance too.
im learning korean theses days thank you for this video
I'm shocked that this video didn't get a million views ??? It's so underrated you deserve the best .. i hope this video reaches every language learner It's such a lot of help
I"m going to purchase your book tomorrow! I'm an absolute beginner, I only know the "alphabet" and a few words and sentences I picked up from kdramas😂
How is it going? :))
As someone who’s exposed to Korean language for more than a decade, I’m not proud to say that I’m still not fluent in the language as I haven’t learned it properly. I can watch anything Korean and understand at least 60-70% without subtitles, but I can’t make proper sentences. I’ve been looking for some Korean online courses and came across this video. I have to say I agree with you and maybe your book is what I need to improve my knowledge in Korean.
I understand that problem. I have learned English in school for 10+ years. I understood back then everything. I watched series' and read English books etc. So no problem at all with that. But the speaking was completely horrible.
As for me it just helped that I startet to speak. I looked online for a learning partner who spoke English and we did many hours of phone calls speaking only in English. This helped me so much. There are many apps out there, where you can find ppl like that.
Thank you for making it a PDF file and not a physical book.
Hi David, UA-cam algorithm made me found your video and long story short I just bought your book! Thank you for your effort to teach us, I can’t wait to study the book! Greetings from Ireland
Awesome, thank you!
Congratulations 🙌 you just made a couple of million people happy by creating this book! Learning a language this way makes so much sense, I immediately hoped that you have some teaching materials to recommend and when you said you created this book I was sold immediately😁
It's so much helpful, it's just something i was finding 😅😅😅😅,감사함나다.
I became topik level 5 in 2 years, and one of my friends just started learning Korean and she asked me to help her. I will totally recommend your book to her! It sounds great
I was amazed by everything he said so I bought the book
This method makes so much sense. It reminds me of how I learned to play certain types of scales and note patterns on piano. It just makes sense.
I am very excited to use your book! Thanks! I honestly thought it would be more expensive but it isn’t at all, 감사합니다 ❤️!
My teacher put effort into me putting effort into to correct pronunciation of the letters and their combinations first. Now I can hear and recognise words in a kdrama and understand the order they occur in conversation.
Just purchased your book and I’m so excited to give this a try! I’ve been studying Korean now for about 1.5 yrs and it seems like I’m stuck. Thank you for your hard work!
I agree with you and I'm on the road to fully get the sentence patterns.
Hello, I am native Spanish speaker and I've been studying Korean for the last 9 months. However, I don't know what happens to my brain it's difficult for me to memorize words and conjugations. Since English is my second language, I recently realized that my brain absorbs way better by learning Korean through English instead of Spanish to Korean.. 😅 since I have a "spanish native lazy brain," I was looking for something different to start with... and I think I've already found it ❤ 감사합니다
Agreed -- it's true for any acquired language - the way you describe the censoring effects of grammar learning is exactly what happened to me wrt French in school.
Ok thank you I have been trying to learn Korean but I'm not just not good at all, so I'll try your Channel❤❤❤❤❤
Just bought your book can't wait to use it later today.📘😄
Just purchased the book. Thank you for your hard work, David!

I’ve been learning Korean for a year and trying almost everything but feeling like it isn’t sticking. I instantly felt like this book is what I’ve been looking for. Purchased right away. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your warm and kind comment🥹 I’m so glad my book could be a big help to you..! I genuinely hope my book helps you a lot! 파이팅!
감사합니다❤ 선생님
I love the thought of this, it’s teaching us how to learn a language like how we’ve learned our native language, in a natural way. Extremely smart view of things, I’ll definitely look into buying the book.
So, I reached A0-B2 in German in a year, while learning grammar. You want to tell me that you were able to speak your language at that level when you were 1 year old?
Hello David, thank you so much for the video and also the book. You must be a programmer! It's amazing that the words are linked to a table of all the conjugations. Also it's wonderful that audio examples were recorded too.
I will get the book and try to practice the patterns with some friends. I think physically speaking the language is the hardest part.
Take care and thanks for your work, -becky
This method is brilliant
Thank you for your hard effort into creating this book! I will try this method of learning Korean for a while and see how it goes. I'm sure it will be of great help.

Thank you, this is very helpful. I am very new to the Korean language and sometimes I really feel overwhelmed and frustrated. I feel there is a lot to learn and I don't know where to start. I will buy the book. Please keep making more videos to teach Korean.
You are very convincing and approachable! awesome!
I just bought your book and I am so excited! 네 책 고맙다!
Presentation of the method of learning / showcasing effectiveness / promoting the product that helps you learn through that method
This video has it all. It's either you don't find this method efficient at the stage of presentation or you follow the link and buy the book. Nothing in between)) Really liked it, but I was looking for tips to connect Korean sounds faster when pronouncing, whatever))
I have a plan to cover how to fully understand Korean sounds!
@@davidkim_kr That would be awesome. Sometimes I listen with subtitles and think to myself: how th did you pronounce this much in a single second
Thank you so much for this! I plan to buy your ebook soon!
Ohh, this is great advice. Thank you.
Great video and thanks for introducing me to this strategy of learning sentence patterns. I like explained everything.. New subscriber!
It really is like I was destined to find you. I've been studying with lots of input as my main priority with some learning material on the side (because it's what I did with English) but have been feeling super frustrated that I can't make sentences. Then, maybe 3 days ago I realized that the reason why I struggle is due to what you perfectly called self censoring. I can tell that the sentence sounds awkward and unnatural so my introvertedness takes over and I stop trying. I bought your book maybe 12 hours ago and I've been looking through it all day and I am so excited to practice and build my confidence.
I love that the book is so well organized. You've done such a great job with this book! Congratulations on rising in subscribers so quickly too. :)
I’m so glad that I can be the one who gives you a real help!! I’m genuinley hoping you achieve your language learning goal!!!
Has the book helped you progress with your learning?
@@CatsNTunes Yes :)

I was actually planning to buy a Korean grammar book to learn how to write sentences on my own. But this month, I started Korean immersion through the Refold method, and this book will definitely be a great help in recognizing sentence patterns that I’m naturally acquiring during my comprehensible input. It seems like the perfect complement to the Refold method! Thanks for creating this, David! It arrived at just the right time, and I’ll definitely give it a try. 💯🙌
I agree.
This is genius and Very helpful, Thank you so much
Thanks for the tips, sound’s enticing ❤
Uhmmm wow 😅 I've been learning Korean on my own since this summer, and I've just started creating pattern tables with ChatGPT. Of course, I'm going a bit slowly because I'm figuring them out on my own. But I wanted to tell you that you're a genius for creating the book 🌟 I'll probably buy it to compare it with the tables I've made.
Sounds like a great book and I definitely will be getting this. I can see all the hard work you put into it.
선생님 감사합니다! ❤
저도 감사합니다💪
THIS IS GENIUS
omg this is the kind of book i've been looking for my since i started learning korean !! I trust this method because i did the same to learn other languages, and it has given me great results. Thank you so much, teacher! ♥♥
Thankyou so much oppa !!!!
Iuvieee and amazing video 🎀💚✨
Thank you so much ^^
Thank you teacher
What an Amazing Book! 감사합니다 선생님!!
Thank you so so so much I truly appreciate it💗💗💗
We need to be able to know how to pronounce the Korean alphabet and read it in order to learn the patterns, no? A lesson by on on how to do that would be great. I’ve watched 100’s of hours of KDramas and I haven’t picked up but a few words. Going to Korea next month!
I think you have a very good teaching style and your English is great! Thanks
I would recommend "SEEMLIE KOREAN" channel's playlist of Teacher Jenny. She explains how to pronounce the the alphabets as well as how to pronounce the alphabets in a sentence.
woww this was eye opening im definitely going to get this book and pick up korean. Thank you so much it includes everything what i always looked for in a korean learning book
It kind of reminds me of my english book we used at school with the conjugation table which is amazing
I've been learning Chinese, Korean, Japanese ，Farsi, Spanish and Arabic all at the same time in only less than a year and this method is very very effective! I discovered this method while doing my own research on how languages are being acquired. Language is acquired by imitation- imitating the sounds.! I don't need this book because I created my own sentence patterns using AI. But I'm still buying it because of the conjugations he made and also compare his patterns being a native Korean speaker with mine which I developed with the help of AI.
You're awesome!
Omg thank u so much I am dupperrr grateful like omg thank u smmmmmmm❤️🤩🤩
This makes complete sense I was focusing on my Chinese language learning and looking for tips to learning but I just bought your book 😅 I was learning Korean before and was meaning to come back when am at intermediate level of Chinese. The audio are laid out well relieved its not interlaced with English so I can fully immerse Thank you.
Lol🤣 I dragged you down to Korean learning😝 Because you already purchased the book, let’s go with me until the end!!
한국어 실력을 늘고 싶어서 매일 자연스러운 표현을 사용하고 연습도 하려고 노력했어요!! 고생 많으셨습니다 선생님! 이번 영상은 엄청 유용하네요!!
ill be attempting to learn korean soon. subscribed so i remember your channel :))
Do you think the book is worth it even for intermediate level? I’ve been studying for a few years but your method seems to be the best. Maybe even your book for beginners can still help me learn new things, what do you think?
Actually, there are intermediate learners who bought my book. And I personally would say that, if you’re struggling speaking in Korean, my book could be helpful even for intermediate learners. But that’s my opinion, whether my book is really helpful to intermediate learners depends on whom to use it. So, if you let me know what’s your the most difficult part, I think I can tell you more accurately.
I'm excited to order your book, thank you for putting this together! (And thank you UA-cam algorithm for sending me this video!! Lol)
I think this is a great idea. Reminds me when I watched anime since I was 4 but never knew how to speak or understand Japanese, until I studied Japnese in college. Once I learned the gramar, it started getting easier to understand Japanese even while watching anime in the background, but it wasn't just coz it was the grammar, but it was also learning the patterns. Amazing video, I think it's worth watching.
Your book sounds promising! The only thing though is that you haven't mention on whether your sentences are considered natural and used among native speakers. I'll share my background and experience as someone who's struggling in studying Korean.
As someone who spent about over 2 years of studying Korean using textbooks, I feel like I didn't learn much and there was little progress. One of the issues is that many teachers, who I took lessons from, used Korean textbooks. And there was all of these grammars I had to only focus on. One beginner textbook that I remembered is that all of the sentences were in (으)니까 and 습니다 endings. Sentences were very formal and I don't hear Koreans speak that way on a daily basis. And sometimes not natural.
I feel like traditional text books often slow down progress when you want to speak Korean more naturally. I also hear that natives notice that some English natives, who speak Korean after mastering all of these textbooks, sometimes sound too direct and sound like a talking textbook. I'm pretty sure us Korean learners don't want to sound that way. And it seems like the best way to speak like a native is to hear how they communicate.
Recently, I started taking lessons from teachers who avoids teaching from textbooks. And these teachers are more valuable from my experience. I'm even noticing some patterns after hearing how Korean native speak with each other. I couldn't make it this far if I only focused on traditional Korean textbooks.
All 262 patterns are listed by priority and frequency!
Love this video because I recently discovered learning sentences from kato lombs book. She has a section where she talks about learning vocab and grammar through sentences. I have already seen a huge improvement in my Korean from sentences. Anyways Im def getting the E book. Your English is amazing. I would love to learn how to properly pronounce the ㄹ in korean. I really struggle with it. Maybe that could be a good video idea. Thanks again!
My next video will be about the "ㄹ" sound! Please wait just a few days!
@@davidkim_kr Yay! Can't wait!
This has changed my mindset :) I have loved learning and understanding grammar but I've now found myself bogged down in it. After listening to your videos, I find I am recognising 'patterns' everywhere .... it's exciting and encouraging .... thank you so much. I will order your book :)
How you feel after some weeks? Im thinking about if to buy it
I wished this video was posted before i bought all these other expensive korean grammar books 😭
Just bought your book tho will come back in a few months for a review ☺️
I hope you improve your Korean tremendously!!! 파이팅!
Thank you for this!
Great video, thank you!!!
Hey David, Quality content!
What you had said is correct regarding so called "living" or rather spoken languages only. But one cannot deal with text in Sanskrit or Ancient Greek without knowing the grammar first.
Wow ! I’ve been learning Korean for 9 months now and I was beginning to get frustrated as I spend 3-4 hours studying each day but don’t seem to be processing at all with my speaking, I really struggle to get my thoughts out as I am too focused on how to construct the sentences in my head.
Your video made me realise that all my language learning material is just based on korean grammar and the way you explained it made complete sense.
So I bought your book straight away !
and will be using it as my main learning source moving forward.
I am Really excited to see how it will improve my Korean.
감사합니다 !! 😇👏
I feel so much appreciated that you consider my book as a main learning material🥹 Besides the book, I’ll do my best to help your Korean learning! 아자아자 파이팅!
I learn korean too, i'm not beginner anymore but intermediate but my speaking skill is between beginner and intermediate lol and it's okay to make mistake when you speak, it's normal.
Try to figure out what is your struggle, is it the particule?
Try to understand them and use it, speak.
More you speak specially with a korean or a korean teacher, more you will be able to speak more fluently without thinking too much, specially when you understand grammar and use frequent grammar, you will know it without thinking
Hmm. I think this could be useful. I'm always trying to find phrases I can use to memorize grammar, for example for the subjext marking particle and object marking particle I use, 저는 김치를 좋아해요 so i remember that 는 is subject and 를 is object.
Thank you so much. It helps me a lot🫶🏻🥰 Now I’m reading this and I think I will learn faster than I thought. ❤
I've been exposed to korean for almost 6 years 😅 through korean TV shows and korean contents but still don't understand it fully i totally understand your point and it's exactly what I need thank you. 🙏😊
Yes me too haha, but my understanding skill is better than my speaking because i watch kdrama since 10 years, but i speak less and i learn korean seriously just about 2 years ago

I would never learn a language with someone who doesn't teach grammar.
And this is how I learned my language, without learning grammar:
1. firstly, I was constantly immerged in a language, and only after few months I started to try out some sounds of it.
2. after few more months, I started speaking gibberish
3. After a whole years of being immerged in my native language, i managed to say my first word. It took me few weeks to say my second word.
4. Finally, after being constantly immerged in my native language, with everyone around me spoke it to me constantly, I started speaking by using simple sentences. Just as the adults, who learn languages while learning grammar, were able to speak after few months of learning. Children need two years for that, so do your math.
5. With some three years I was speaking fluently, but with frequent mistakes. Adults needed to correct me all the time. Let's say like an adult who learns with grammar after 6 months to 1 year of learning.
So, no way I want to spend far more time for learning a language then I could.
Yes, children learn their native language without learning grammar and this is why they can barely speak after two years of learning it.
I think learning super basic grammar is important. But only the main structure of the sentence (in this case it's subject object verd), and a few other things here and there like how to make a question, tenses, etc.
But if you go way to in-depth with it you will be over learning. Lots of learning comes naturally/overtime and if you try to learn everysingle thing thing that's how you'll become fluent, you won't really get anywhere
First, thank you for sharing your perspective. I really appreciate that! Because I’m always open to many different views from mine!
Back to the point, I’m not saying “do not learn grammar!” or “learning grammar is useless!” Here is exactly what I’ve said in this video.
01:18 “At this point, you might be curious like ‘So, you mean don’t ever think of learning Korean grammar?’ That’s not what I meant. You have to learn Korean grammar to be fluent in Korean. Otherwise, you would speak just a disordered, chaotic set of words.”
However, as you already know, learning a language by learning only (or mainly) grammar is not effective. And that’s why I suggested the pattern learning method to help Korean learners learn not only sentence structures and their parts, but also grammar with way less stress. (I believe you’ve captured this point if you watched this video until the end!)
Lastly, thank you so much for sharing your opinion again, and have a nice day!
@@davidkim_kr Ohhh I must've missed that part
I was just kind of skimming it and planning on coming back to it later when I had more time
After carefully listening to this video, I am convinced that you are one of the best teachers I have ever discovered on UA-cam. The greatest respect and gratitude to you! 정말 감사합니다!
But when I click a link to the Book, my browser shows this message: “This connection is not private ... You should close this page. Safari warns you when a website has a sertificate that is not valid. This may happen if the website is misconfigured ...” Some mistake? How to do? I really want to buy this book.
Can you please check the link one more?! I’ve updated to a new one!
And before everything else, thank you so much for your heart-warming words!!! I feel so much rewarded and appreciated! Thank you for giving me the power to keep running this channel!
@@davidkim_kr It works now! I just bought the Book! I'm happy! :-) 감사합니다!
@@davidkim_kr You really have a lot of power! :-) Your explanations are very clear, focused, concise. I will start studying with your book today.
I’m rooting for you!! 파이팅!!
In the beginning of the year, I started to learn Korean as my second language after English (My mother language is Spanish). Comprehensible Input honestly is the best way to learn a language. 정말 한국어가 제 최고의 언어가 될 것 같습니다!
I learnt Korean for 3 years and im a soloist that sings in korean im not fluent in english as much im Chinese-Filipino African-American but english is hard I know basics or I just look on the Translation on english
Don't you have a link of your book in coupang? Can you please make it?
Im almost six months in learning korean and I had my first conversation a week ago. I struggled to form my words in my head and felt embarrassed that it I couldn't do it right away. I'm definitely going to check this book out!
For anyone interested, I'm learning with Rocket Korean, TTMIK, Anki, Patchim (which is my favorite "learning game" app) and various UA-cam content.
You’ve got this!!
this is basically how i learned. i just asked natives how to say a sentence like "learning korean is fun" then substituted 배우다 for all the irregulars, even if it didnt make sense (like 덥다) so i could see the how diff verbs attached to 는것. the problem with my method is finding people willing to do it. no luck in japanese but i got super lucky with korean. so i was able to learn easily. and now thanks to you, so will others^^ ❤
though for your example my guess was 커피보다 차가 더 좋은 것 같아요 ㅋㅋㅋ
