- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- My son Jeremy is 7 years old, and speaks fluent Korean without living in Korea. My wife and I spend a lot of time focusing on helping him to improve his Korean, and in this video we’ll share some of the methods we’ve used to help him become and remain bilingual in English and Korean.

aw, Jeremy is so adorable. love this episode.

Right he’s adorable
Thats awesome being raised a family that speaks more than one language. Good job Jeremy! I think he will really appreciate being brought up in such a great environment 😎
It's so amazing that when speaks Korean, he speaks fully in Korean without mixing with English i.e Konglish. That's what you call truly fluent. Hope Jeremy has a bright future ahead!
Maybe I don't watch enough but it's very kind of you to show us your son. It's a real privilege for us - thank you!
I raised my daughter in an English/ French household and I agree with everything you've said. Raising bilingual kids doesn't have to be hard but you have to be conscientious and make an effort. Thanks for this lovely video! You were both adorable in your matching outfits! ☺
OMG! Jeremy is sooo smart and cute! Please, make more content with him! I noticed although he said he prefers when you talk to him in English, in fact he kept answering your English questions in Korean. So natural!
I grew up in a multilingual household where both my parents could not speak each others native language. So the family language was English. When alone each parent spoke to us in their native language so that way we naturally picked it up. I think it’s so so important to teach your children multiple languages when they are young (even if you are monolingual) it has proven such a benefit to me now! Respect!!!
Oh Billy, he is so adorable. His Korean is excellent. I love how your both dressed alike.
I'm half Korean but grew up in Sweden. When I was younger up to ~5 years i used to speak a lot more Korean, but with starting school and everything i eventually just grew out of it and only spoke some. I'm fact it's only like the last 2/3 years that I've made a conscious effort to learn more (I'm 15 now), although ofc that means I'm learning the language more like an adult and not like a child who passively picks up a language. Thank you for everything you do Billy!
Don’t give up on it. I was near fluent at age 11, then 20 years went by and I lost it all.. it’s one of the biggest regrets of my life. But now I’m learning again so it’s okay. Learn from me and don’t ever stop learning!
@@Aquablecs I will never understand how someone can loose their ability to understand a language one grew up with. I grew up learning Russian, since being a really really young child I've never seriously had to use Russian ever again, but I have never ever forgotten what I knew back then. I can't forget it, even if I wanted to. Nowadays I only use Russian, when I'm very bored, so I switch the movie audio to Russian lol.
@@anna-5104 It happens more often than you might think. My first language was French. We moved to the U.S. from Canada when I was 5 and I started kindergarten here. Now I don't speak or understand French.
@@anna-5104it actually happened to my German grandmother. She came to the states with my grandfather when she was 18 to marry him. By the time I was born, she had forgotten all of her German and could only speak English. I wish she had taught my mother German so she could’ve taught me. I am now trying to learn Korean and German. It’s not easy.
@@anna-5104 You will never understand because you don´t want to, it seems. It´s very simple: You don´t practise a skill, you get worse at it. This applies to languages as well. Many people become receptive bilinguals (meaning: they understand but can´t speak it fluently) when they don´t practise speaking their other language (for several years). Instead of ignorantly bragging with your skills (and indirectly shaming people), you could work on your arrogance and empathy. Good luck.
Imma be straight-forward. He is smart and adorable. You are a wonderful father and absolute stellar teacher. This is exactly what I needed. I have been off and on with Korean but want to get back to it.
Thank you so much for your helpful tips! My husband is Korean, I'm American, and we're raising four kids together. We lived in Korea for six years before moving to the U.S. in 2017. My Korean is pretty good, but our kids, who used to speak Korean fluently, now mostly use English. Even though we stick to Korean at home, they tend to respond in English. It's been tough trying to change that, but I'm excited to give your suggestions a try. Your advice means a lot-thanks again!
The "default" for kids growing up in the US or any country is to speak the language they're surrounded with, so it really takes extra work to have them use a different language. It takes a lot of effort but it's worth it :D We're also expanding the types of books that my son has, and making sure he's always finding new content he enjoys in Korean.
@@GoBillyKorean So true. Just gotta keep the bigger picture in mind and make a daily effort! Thank you so much!
As someone trying to teach Korean to my infant daughter I appreciated this video a lot. 고맙습니다 빌리!!
i love that not only is he good at 2 languages, but he can easily switch between codes.
Great video, Billy. American-Brazilian family here living in Korea. Our son went to 유치원 for two years and is continuing interacting daily with 국어 lessons and playing with kids on the playground. We practice the OPOL method and I'm still only an intermediate Korean speaker, so we don't speak Korean at home. We're using a lot of the methods you discuss - make things fun, make him want to speak Korean. It's working well, and he's so very proud of his Korean superpower! It's a challenge as we're not native speakers and we want to be sure not to neglect our native tongues - but totally worth it! He will surely have a lifelong relationship with this wonderful country.
You nailed it. Being able to speak another language is totally a superpower and a very undervalued one in most of English speaking countries
제레미 옷이랑 모자 보고 귀여워서 시작부터 빵 터졌네요.🤣 빌리 쌤이랑 완전 붕어빵🐟🐟!
한국인이라면 누구나 존댓말, 반말 때문에 어른한테 한 번쯤 혼난 경험이 있을 거 같은데, 제레미도 역시 이런 경험을 통해서 존댓말을 완벽하게 쓰게 됐군요.
이번 영상은 구독자 분들한테 여러모로 도움이 될 것 같아요. 그리고 제레미 앞으로도 자주 보고 싶네요. 영상 보는 내내 제 얼굴엔 이모(?) 미소가 떠나질 않았어요.😄
Jeremy is a RIOT! I can't with the matching mini-Billy plaid shirt and hat :P Loved that this advice works for both kids and adults whether learning or teaching others Korean.
Find things your interested in. Study Korean a few hours each day. Correct as you go along. Conversation is key. These are my methods too.
I listen to Korean writing podcasts and watch Korean shows about writing and publishing. Immersing yourself with interests in your target language can help with retention as well.
Loved this video so much! Jeremy will be cohosting Billy's livestream in no time ^_^
Kudos to you, Billy, and to your wife for teaching your son both Korean and English. It is a gift he will appreciate. To understand both cultures from his parents is a blessing. I think children learning a different language at a young age is obviously very different (and much easier) from an adult trying to learn another language. As you stated, you never actually had to teach him "grammar" and thank goodness for that, because as an adult trying to learn a different language (Korean in my case) the grammar is by far the most difficult to grasp. Your content is always fun to watch and informative as well. Thanks!
I was absolutely charmed by the adorable child in the video! His Korean skills were incredibly impressive, just as fluent as his father's. Even though your son lives in the United States and primarily speaks English, I was genuinely surprised by his natural Korean. It was truly heartwarming to watch this clip and learn about fostering foreign language acquisition within one's home country. What struck me most was how the father didn't pressure his son into learning Korean. Instead, he created a fun and engaging environment that sparked his son's interest in the language. I particularly burst out laughing at the kid's declaration of "No forgiveness for traitors!"I'm already eagerly anticipating the next video. Wishing you a wonderful day!
i was raised similarly, would go back to my country for a month each year and i speak both languages fluently to this day, great job!!
What a fabulous relationship you two have!!
Jeremy might just be the absolute cutest kid I’ve ever seen! Good job on amazing parenting, he’ll thank you in the future for his Korean skills. props to you and his mama 💜
this was absolutely adorable, but also weirly impeccable timing since i recently (re)watched all your videos with hyunwoo & you guys brought up raising bilingual children a lot in them... how'd you know i was rewatching lol :p
but thanks for letting us meet jeremy! he's the cutest kid forreal
First things first, Jeremy's ADORABLE
Secondly, this video encouraged me to put more hard work in my Korean learning
아프로 더 열심히 하겠습니다
감사합니다 빌리 쌤 😊
Whoaaa, I'm brazilian and speak other 3 languages besides portuguese, and I'd like to teach my future kids those I know to kinda facilitate their lives, so it's always good to know how other people do/did this too 🥴
This is great! I think Jeremy’s approach to learning Korean can even apply to all of us. I hope that he continues to find enjoyment in all areas of interest instead of becoming yet another adult that only views learning as painful. ❤
That was fun to watch and such good advice for bringing up a child to be bilingual. I know some parents think it will confuse their child to speak in two languages when they are very young and then don't start teaching them until they are older which really is too late. Children aren't confused and pick up both languages easily if you start straight away. At my advanced age it takes a whole lot longer to learn. Thanks, Billy and Jeremy. Jeremy is obviously very intelligent but how quickly did he learn to read Korean and English?
Didn't know you had a son so to see him and hear him speaking Korean just made my day!🤗
Ooh, Jeremy, I'm SO envious of your super Korean skills! It's so cool you're learning Korean while you're young and have lots of people to practice conversation with. I'm pretty old👵🏻 and slower🐢 with my learning, and I have nobody to speak with for practice.😭 However, I go by the brave Galaxy Quest motto, "Never give up, never surrender!" 💪🏻"By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan," I shall prevail! 🙌 제레미씨,잘했어 .. um .. 요!🏆
As someone who works with kids, props to Billy for managing to film this video, its hard work to get kids to focus on something for a longer period of time. 제레미는 아주 귀엽고 똑똑하고 한국어와 영어를 너무 잘 할 수 있어요! 부모님도 열심히 가르쳐주시느라 수고했어요!
Loved watching this. We are raising ours kids to speak English and Vietnamese and it’s a lot of fun. My daughter prefers when I speak to her in English too but her dad speaks to her in 100% Vietnamese, I do maybe 30% as it’s not my native language but I still want to encourage her to speak.
Wow! So impressive 😊 I hope he continues to maintain his two languages and venture into another in the future
Oh wow, I really saw the video of your brother when you were teaching him Korean and I saw that little one playing beside you. He has grown up so well, he is really very cute.❤❤❤❤
9:48 when Jeremy said “turn off the camera” in Korean, I wasn’t looking at the video, so I thought he said “go to jail”
Lol at go to jail thats funny 😅
I came to NY when I was 3 and never attended school in Korea. Thanks to my parents speaking to my brother, sister, and me in Korean, we all speak Korean fluently. My sister works in Korea, my brother took college courses, and I learned a lot from the internet. We all took different avenues to the same destination. Our parents gave us the foundation and we did the rest
Jeremy is precious. This video is so great and encouraging to me. Great tips (some we’re already practicing). We live in the states. Our daughter is 2 1/2 and speaking both Korean and English. My husband is the native Korean speaker and I’ve been steadily learning/practicing for the past 3 years (With speaking at home, the help of your books/classes and TTMIK, and local Korean Church). We try to make it fun and enjoyable. Right now can only video chat with halmeoni but thankful it’s an hour or so 3-4 days a week (and a once a year visit). So thankful for all that you share!
On top of speaking at home, doing a video chat for an hour 3-4 days a week sounds great! Do make sure to keep that up as long as possible :D
Yes, thank you! 🙌🏻 That is my hope and plan well as regular visits with halmeoni and trips to Korea. ❤️
What an amazing and funny son you have. This video made my day😂 Thanks Jeremy and Billy
I believe that teaching our children to be bi-lingual is integral to their thought processes and possibly their future, depending on what they choose to do. Parents who are deeply invested in forming meaningful relationships with their children, raise thoughtful, confident adults. I love your interactions with Jeremy… 🥰
Same
존댓말 잘쓰니깐 신기하면서도 왜이리 귀여워 ㅎㅎ
your son is absolutely adorable! nice to see part of your fam!
Billy, you are an example father. The way you teach Jeremy by exposing him to things he likes, watching UA-cam video's before he gets to watch them... Just great stuff. Love your channel! Keep up the great work.
Awww he's so cute! Love your matching styles!
This was so sweet!!!! Thanks for sharing 🙏
So cute! Great job making learning fun, and raising Jeremy with joy. 👍😊
This is my favorite episode! Jeremy is so so so adorable! You've both done such a wonderful job with him!
He learn so much in so little time! Thank you for the motivation!
i really enjoy these videos. It will be cool to see him more on the show. Watching this encourages me to teach my son more Korean... thanks!
This is so endearing and beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing this journey with us Billy!
That was the cutest. Thanks for this episode.
Such an interesting video and so useful for parents!!!
Such a fantastic personality and speaks so well x ❤
Thank you Jeremy for helping your Dad make such a cool video.
This is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen! I needed this befoe work. And thank you for adding the Hangul subtitles. It helps a lot.
Omg the cutest! Also inspiring! Please more of Jeremy :)
omg jeremy is darling and his korean is so good! well done teaching him korean in positive and fun ways. i hope he comes back to your channel now and again. it would be wonderful to see him grow.
Awwwwww!!!! Jeremy is so cute!!!!! Great job Mom and Dad!!!!! Thanks so much for the video!!!!
this is so cool, my dad is german but im in my 20s now and don't speak german fluently at all. im trying to learn now but i really regret not speaking it as a child, although i don't think i realised how valuable it would be when i was young. dont want to blame my parents, cause as a kid i was like jeremy and always said i preferred if my dad spoke in english, but im still a little sad haha its so awesome that jeremy can speak Korean and english well and i think when he's older he will realise how good it is even if he prefers english now!
Really amazing for a kid his age to be so well-spoken in multiple languages, honestly. Thanks for sharing!
He is so cute!!! 💛💛💛 Good job, Mom & Dad! I'm 43 trying to teach myself Korean and it is SO HARD.
I’m 55 and started to learn Korean 18 days ago …it’s hard but it’s AWESOME 🎉
I’m 62 and just started learning. It is indeed hard but I’m enjoying the process so far. Praying I can keep it up because I know it’s going to get even harder. 🙏🏽😄
More Billy and Jeremy videos, please! 🙏🏻🥰
Jeremy is adorable! 🥰 He speaks so well! 👏🏻 Great advice on how to learn & practice Korean. Thank you!
It would be so nice to have you guys do more content together! Even just vlogs of you two doing dad-son activities and challenging each other in Korean would be so fun to watch! Thank you for being everyone's teacher, Billy!
Jeremy is just the sweeeetest!!
Thx Billy for great content 😊
you sir, get my full respect for maintaining his korean to a native level of fluency!
my mom did the same with me. she spoke to me in korean even before i could speak and she took me to korea for 3 years (kindergarten, 1st and 2nd). this is when i learned reading, writing, grammar, phonetics, etc. and i returned to america to go to 3rd grade. in my case, i was living with my aunt and uncle and they didn't speak english (my mom had to stay in korea at the time). so i spoke to them in korean all the time and was actually interested in the language and dialects. so i was able to maintain my korean fluency all these years. i'm currently 28, but in my 40's, i'd like to go to korea and live there permanently.
This is so lovely! 😊
You and your son are adorable, thank you for sharing! I'm glad you and your wife are keeping him connected to his culture!
jeremy is so adorable! you are an amazing teacher and father! it's awesome that as parents teach Jeremy so well and he's so confident. although I'm a native English speaker with no other languages that I speak, I'm currently myself learning Korean and going to learn Spanish and Creole since peole in my area speak the latter two languages! the immersion methods are truly helpful and learning from books and etc. Thank you for the tips!
wow! I love this channel!
Ugh, so cute! Thanks for a peek into your family!
Awww I like this video so much!!!
Your son is the cutest I really enjoyed this episode 🥰
OMG! He is so adorable!
This was such a sweet video. I moved to the states right after finishing Kindergarden in Korean, and so many of the things you said were true. My parents constantly kept using Korean while I was growing up in America, but in a lax Konglish way. And whenever I couldn't find the right word in Korean to use, I would just ask them to learn. Allowing kids to choose what kinds of materials they want to watch/read is also a huge part in maintaining the knowledge without it feeling like homework. Awesome and helpfu video, especially if I decide to have kids later in life.
Jeremy is so cuttteeee!!! What a sweet episode 😊
Great approach to learn any language!!
Jeremy is so cute!! Love to see your precious bond 💞
I don't have kids but I watched the video just because Jeremy is super adorable :3
Awww you two are so adorable ❤
that was fun and informative
this is a great video!! i’m not near being a parent, and have only been studying korean for 4 months, but i would love to become advanced enough to the point where when the time comes that i do have kids i can teach them both english and korean (as well as sign language which i am learning now)!! my dad tried to teach my sister and i french as children, and we didn’t want anything to do with it! i wish i knew it now 😅 제레미와 빌리 선생님께 감사드립니다!!
Sooo adorable little boy. Congrats 😊
this is so cute and very admirable!!! i lost the abulity to speak Vietnamese when i started going to school because my mother gave up on speaking it to me :( so it's really cool to see how Jeremy keeps up learning Korean
omg Jeremy is soooo cute!! I like that he is having fun moving around in front of the camera haha. I can tell he enjoys speaking Korean!
wow! I'm inspired now, motivation comes flowing through my blood now
Love it! 너무 재밌었어요!
your son is very handsome congratulations, I feel so related. i decided to rase my kid to learn korean by living here even though im already divorce and could be perfectly living in canada with my son I think korea for now is better.
Helpful! Also, Jeremy is a cute, cute kiddo. Thanks!
WOW, It's an excellent episode!
He's so adorable 🥺
Jeremy chewing on the book before you took it away lol, what an absolute gremlin I love him. He's adorable. So hard getting kids to sit still at that age, yea?
This is so adorable!!! I am dying.
awwww He's so adorable!❤
This is so interesting!!
You made my day
Super love this 😍😍😍
The matching outfit is simply adorable 🥰
😍😍🤗🤗🤗 My heart is full of joy!! I'm so glad he's learning! Too often the heritage language doesn't get passed down. Like in my family. 😭 I really hope he'll continue!
The most adorable kid, you raised him well Billy! I’m so glad that he speaks the languages of his heritage. I think it is important to keep that attachment to your ancestry.
Jeremy has a bit of the Billy sass in him 😂 Thank you for sharing! What a great video
He is so cute ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Sir
My dad's American and my mom's Korean, I've never been to Korea before but I can speak fluent Korean and teach Korean at church... Both of y'alls Korean is so perfect!
Having so much fun to see Teacher/Tutor Billly X2 ! You are both adorable 🎉! Thumbs up for your videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
