Billy, thank you for this video. I'm on your second book and it's been a wonderful journey learning Korean with you so far. I hardly ever comment on anything but this video really inspired me to write to you. It makes you genuine, super real, and connected with your audience. I'm actually Korean but lost my native tongue when I was a child. Now I'm in my 40's and determined to finally fill a void that I've been carrying all my life. Learning a new language isn't easy as you get older but I'm proving you can teach an old dog new tricks! Cheers to you and your lovely family!
Omg I'm literally crying . thank you so much for this channel and for your books(which I will continue to purchase after I finish the one I already bought). Your books really help me and your channel also does a great deal in explaining the pronunciations and sound changes Thank you so much and I hope that the boost in popularity of Korean culture helps with your book sales and subscribers😂😂😊😊😊
I love Korean too. I have been teaching myself. I can’t believe I just found your channel. I googled, “How Korea saved my life” because learning Korean and watching Korean shows has been helping me feel more fulfilled in this life. I love everything about Korea, but never been there, and have a couple of Korean friends I practice with.
You’re a true inspiration. Your book was actually the first one I bought on this amazing journey. I’m never going to give up and I love the story! Your son is so cute! I’m tearing up
Good on you ..Pleased with everything you have taught me. What a gorgeous son. It’s taking me longer than normal. To learn. As I am 62 a Kiwi with not to good of a memory. But I love listening to Korean language. Don’t stop. Teaching 👍👍👍👍
oh my god is jeremy the cutest or what?! i have always wanted to learn an eastern asian language since i'm truly fascinated by the culture. japanese was my first love, but unfortunately i couldn't progress much with self-study. i came across your channel several months ago to get ready to take korean classes at my college. after literally beating hangul in 90 minutes with your videos, i realized (while it does take a lot of work) korean was not as difficult as i expected. it actually became incredibly fun rather than scaring me. i still talk about you when people ask me how and where i started! thanks to your channel i fell in love with the language even more and managed to ace eight credits of korean in one semester. my 선생님s are proud :) cannot wait to learn more. thank you so much for your dedication and love for your work billy. loving this language and culture more and more everyday. keep it up! much love.
Really inspiring! I've been learning Korean for a year and a half and sometimes I feel like I'll never be fluent. However, seeing the success you've had in Korean is really inspiring, I hope to be as good as you one day! 날마다 한국어를 연습해야 해요!
If you want, and if you work hard, you can get better than me. It all depends on how much you're willing to study and if you keep going without giving up. Practice as much as possible and when you look back in the future you'll see how far you've come :)
I am so touched! I would have never imagined you were married to a Korean girl and had a son! The more time passes, the more I believe this channel is the major source that's helping me understand Korean. Go on doing what you enjoy, it really helps a lot of young learners!!💛
I'm also one of these people who started their Korean adventure with you (currently using your Korean Made Simple 1 book and videos to grasps the basics). I don't even have any goals nor groundbreaking plans why I want to learn Korean - I just wanted to try something new and made it fun. My parents brought me up in a conservative way and before learning new languages, all I could hear is ''it's a waste of time to learn a language if you're not even going to use it''. They only ever approved of me learning English, but used coercion rather than encouragements to get me where I am. As you can imagine, it took me time to open a notebook and start practicing Hangul. Your videos truly helped me change my mindset and allow myself to see studying as fun! I don't see learning Korean as a means to an end, I see it as a journey, and having no plans related to its usage, I'm curious where it will take me :) Hopefully in a year I'll be able to visit Korea (I'm planning to volunteer at a language cafe in Busan and perhaps stay there for 2 months) and I'm sure by that time, my casual learning will bring me some hilarious and awkward stories to talk about :D Thank you for sharing with us your journey and keep up the good work!
First of all, I’d love to thank you for all the great job you’ve done on your channel. Before I even started learning Korean, I’d been terrified of learning an Asian language, thinking it was way too strenuous and time consuming for a European. When I discovered your channel, I realized it was possible to master! Speaking of Korean changing my life, I made Korean friends because of the skills I picked up. Not only are we close, they correct my grammar all the time. I also get discounts at the local Korean restaurant as I chat with the owner in the language. Last but definitely not least, here’s a funny/awkward story. I lived with a Spanish family for two weeks in August to improve my Spanish. It was a married couple in their 50’s, so I wanted to be really polite to someone who was older than me. I kept using formal pronouns for a week, although Spaniards rarely, if ever, use formal speech. That’s when I felt the impact Korean had had on me since I applied the logic of Korean in Spanish. P.S. Jeremy is super cute! He reminds me of my brother when he was his age, haha.
I had no idea you were married and had a child! Your book was the first one I bought and It is because of your videos and influence that I started learning the language. Thank You times a million!
Oh, bless you! I tried so hard to learn hangul from another UA-cam channel, and while it wasn’t awful, I couldn’t quite get it. I watched your 90-minute video about Hangul and it got me hooked! I’ve watched the last half a couple more times just to help, but it’s so amazing when I can just read a couple words out loud, then listen to it and my pronunciation is accurate! I’ve never learned another language before but Korean seems like the perfect one for me.
that's amazing :) I hope you'll continue to enjoy it, it's a fun language to learn indeed! I'm sure this channel will be of great help for you in your journey ^-^
danchy thank you for your words of encouragement! :) my family and friends think I’m a bit crazy, but becoming bilingual has always been something I wanted to do and after exploring many different languages, Korean was the only one that I felt passionately about! I can’t wait to make them look foolish in a couple years when I’m speaking fairly well!
I saw 7 years old Jeremy in your other UA-cam and wanted to know who is Jeremy's mother and came here. Seeing two years old Jeremy, am surprised how cute he is! Thank you for sharing your past stories.
What an amazing story, man! I also met my wife because I was learning her native language at that time, only that in my case it was (Brazilian) Portuguese. We've been together for over 4 years now and it's been the best time in my whole life.
Wow. This really touched my heart. Thank you so much for sharing some of your private life with us. I'm so happy for you! I hope someday we can meet and compare language journeys. I'm proud to be one of your sponsors! 가족
Seriously grateful for the work that you do. I work around Koreans on a weekly basis, and every time I mention to someone that I'm learning the language, they seem tickled to death that I'm even trying, despite grammar and pronunciation errors. It's gotten me many Korean friends who check my grammar and teach me little things about the culture. Right now, I'm at a point where I'm less intimidated now when I go into ethnic food stores for 김밥 materials than I was three months ago, but ultimately, I want to be at least competent enough in the language to be able to not have to think about what I want to say, and just speak. Buying your book was step one! 감사합니다!
You're awesome my dude and so inspiring! I'm about a month in learning Korean and has been one of the toughest journeys in my life but I'm hooked! Its been tough since I live with mostly Spanish speaking folks but I believe it's worth it! Thanks for everything. I really appreciate you! Ps went through your hangual video! Life changing brother. 😁
Aw, thank you so much for sharing! I've often wondered about all the things you talked about in this video, and you should never feel you have to share, but I'm glad you did!
Aww.. so cute.. That was really inspiring.. I too want to learn Korean bcoz of a certain guy.. I can tell that ur wife is beautiful.. U have an adorable son. He probably got that look from both of u..
I've been binge watching all of your videos! I'm moving to Korea next year and living there for 16 months. I am 1/2 Korean and 1/2 white like your son but I never learned Korean since my dad was adopted when he was 5. Your videos have been so helpful and I'm excited to learn more! Thanks for all you do!!!
Your son is SOOO cute!! I'm a puddle now! 😄 😆 Your baby is so adorable!!! Your wife is also gorgeous from what I could see of her silhouette. I'm sure you don't need me to remind you how blessed you are. 😄
I got really tearful watching this. I have the same passion for korean, and it has brought me many new friends. Before learning korean I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life but now I have a dream to live in Korea and become an English teacher or a translator there. This is beautiful and thank you for sharing!
First, I was surprised that you've learned Cantonese before... as a native Cantonese speaker, I was glad to hear that! :) Learning Korean also changed my life because after learning Korean, I became a language lover and learned more 15 languages 😊
I realise this video is 3years old by now and you might never even read this 😅 but I’m gonna comment anyway, because man, Billy, you deserve all the happiness in the world and I’m so happy for you ♥️ I wanted to express my gratitude here because I, and many many people, love your videos so much and are eternally grateful for the content you produce, helping so many of us on their Korean learning journeys with unending patience and joy. I don’t know you in person of course but the warmth and genuine joy that you teach with just flows out of the screen at me in every video I watch, you make things so much fun and explain so well and I’m truly grateful to have found your channel. ♥️ I’m kinda secretly hoping that one day I’ll get to have a chat with you and maybe even filming an “a glass with Billy” episode, sharing my own journey and getting to thank you in person. 🙈 ☺️ hey, a girl can dream 😂🤷🏼♀️ 정말 감사합니다 빌리 씨 ~ 그럼 다음에 도 봐요!
@@GoBillyKorean Hah! 😂 Good thing I’m planning to do just that then 😆 👏🏻🎉 💪🏻 nice, you gave me some extra motivation to stick with it now hahahha 화이팅! 😂 I guess I’ll see you in a few years if all goes well 🤔🤣
I don't know if you will ever see this, but speaking as an English teacher: you are GREAT! I love your videos, your methods of instruction, your enthusiasm. I have bought your books and am as impressed with your methods there as I am with your videos. Keep up the wonderful work.
I bought this book a while back and few months later (as in today) I stumbled on your UA-cam channel. I wondered why you looked familiar and took me a while to make the connection that YOU wrote the book I bought 😂😂 really enjoy your videos I’ve watch so far, thank you for creating my book ☺️☺️
나도 빵 사러 시내에 가요 was the first sentence that I memorized too, all because of that book. My first Korean friend gifted me it during high school! You're right about Chapter 2 hahaha I didn't get much farther, but I did get started and I'm still learning today ~
This is wonderful :) I started learning Korean because a Korean classmate had a friend who wanted an overseas penpal. At first, we just conversed in English, but I also thought the characters were so cute and wanted to learn it! In the end, I'm still slowly working my way back over the books I bought from you. You are my motivation for learning Korean, because you make it easy and fun. Thank you Billy!
Waw.. congrats for everything you have done and congratulations for your wife and daughter,,she looks so cute! Keep on doing what you do because you're the best!!
Just came across this 2 year old video after I recently became Billy's Patreon supporter. After hearing your sincere story, I am so happy that your journey is continuing and growing in a wonderful way, Billy!
Thank you so much for shrimp your story, and I really honestly find your videos and guides so helpful in learning. I learned Hangul completely from your videos and I have a textbook now and I want to try and learn as much as you have! Your son is so adorable! 감사합니다 😊
I have your books to help me, but it wasn’t until this video, I made the connection 🤦🏼♀️ I thought you were using the name from the books to do your channel, NOT that you actually WERE go Billy 🤣🤣🤣
Awww, your son is so cute! I am jealous of your trip. ^^ We took our two kids last year and just loved it. I hope we can go back again before they're all grown up.
This inspires me PROFOUNDLY. You make me want to embrace my language interest and really make an effort, not just in language learning, but in any of my hobbies. Thank you! 😄
Your videos are so inspiring. I’m am just beginning my journey Hangul at a late age through watching Korean dramas so only recently discovered your channel. You are so natural and relatable and the videos with Jeremy are just wonderful
I watched this video a year ago and I agree with you the more I learn Korean the more I love it Thank you so much for teaching us And this little kid has the coolest and the most kind dad ever God bless you billy and your family we are really thankful to you for everything
Hi Billy, I know my comment is more than two years late. I just saw this vid as a recommendation on my YT wall. Anyway, my sis gave me a copy of your book. I highly enjoyed it. Honestly, I like how your book is presented. There are cultural facts about it. Your book is presented in such a way that is very empathetic with how non-Koreans could learn, being an outsider yourself. The pronunciation rules are still a struggle for me, but you make it easy to understand. I have another book, but the pronunciation rules were very complicated. I also bought your 2nd and 3rd volume of the book so I can study after I am done with the first. As for now, I am currently increasing my vocabulary because I realize that I cannot make various sentences without a varied vocabulary. I had to know more action verbs and descriptive verbs than just "to eat," to go," "to like," and "many."
Wow! Sounds like my journey in learning Spanish! I am married to a Mexican who does not speak English... I have learned Vietnamese for 2 1/2 years now and have started learning Korean! You are such an inspiration!!
Billy, thank you for sharing this story. I enjoyed the whole video from beginning to end especially because you told a little bit more about your life background. Congratulations with your marriage, and I wish you and your wife all the happiness together. I was really happy to hear this and about you having a son. He is soo cute! 😊 Please keep making Korean learning video's. I really love them and they really helped me a lot so far! Greetings from the Netherlands!!!
Owww that's so wonderful... I have been watching and learning from your videos since one year and I could never figure out such a big influence a language could make at one's life.Thanks to share about your story!
i just want to thank you so much for your channel and all the hard work and passion you put into it. your channel was the first one i stumbled across when i decided i wanted to learn korean last year, and through it i learned hangul which really kickstarted my korean journey. your videos are super fun and easy to understand, so i kept on watching, then i went on to buy all 3 of your books which have helped me a lot, along with books and resources from talk to me in korean. i still have a long long way to go in order to reach korean proficiency, but without your channel i might never have found a video that explained concepts for beginners so well, and might not have even started learning korean! it’s really amazing to see the positive influence korean has had on your life,it really inspires me to study harder!
Great video.! I learned Mandarin to an extremely fluent level just like you did with Korean and I’ve made so many good friends.. waiting for more opportunities! Might learn Korean :-)
So emotional! Omgosh! Thank you for sharing your story! I have to admit, I haven't purchased any of your books because I saw some pages of your first book and it looked too hard for me to do. (But I have watched quite a few of your videos! ;) ) I know ZERO Korean but I am so interested and want to learn it soooo much, it just seems overwhelming for me--and scary. But after watching this and also, seeing your live chat today, I have decided to buy your book tonight and see if my stupid brain can absorb anything and actually learn Korean! I have only seen a few videos but now, I am making it my mission to watch all of them! Keep up the excellent work and your wife and baby are sooooooo cute!!
lovinglanguages1 I have absolute faith you can somehow do it. Whether you learn it quickly or slowly, have fun with it...breath life into it...you know?
Thank you so much, Miguel! I tried learning Spanish once but gave up because I could understand more than I could speak it. I could never figure out how to construct sentences to say, even if I knew what was being said. So I just figured, language learning was not my thing but I still loved hearing different languages and then I heard Korean and fell in love! It hooked me and ! am dying to learn it! So I am going to do it, no matter how long it takes and not give up!
Very nice video! Actually I'm not learning Korean right now at all but as a linguist, you're giving me the input to learn it because you're such a very positive and friendly guy AND because you're passionate and I really feel this passion burning in you. So, thank you and if I start learning Korean, you'll be "responsible" for this!
Aww..very inspiring..I'm having difficulties in studying hangul right now coz I'm also working,I can't consistently schedule my study time..Thanks to your videos Billy, really helpful.
Everybody was left in tears 😭😭😭 what a genuine and humble man, I am soo happy to see you with such a beautiful family. And your son it's adorable. Fighting oppa!
Aw…I loved this video! I just started to learn Korean 3 months ago. Wasn’t planning on it. I was going to learn French, but my Daughter(22) wanted to learn Korean and I wanted to encourage her SO I’m learning Korean! I’m 53 so I’m old BUT I’m taking it slow. I’m amazed at how much this old brain is soaking up stuff! I am grateful I came across your channel! You have helped me to not completely rip all my hair out! BATCHIM!!!!! And I love how you explain stuff. You have made it easier for me to learn! To a lifelong learning of an amazing language! Your fellow Korean learner, Stefanie.
Thank you Billy. I started learning Hangul from your channel and I found your videos and exercises easy to follow, yet comprehensive. We will continue to support you!
Really happy for you Billy!!! Your videos are so helpful and I'm really grateful for all your help in my journey. I hope you can keep doing this forever!
I just found this channel and It is really good to see many people are actually tring to learn korean. Thanks to Billy for making those great videos ( I personally think that korean is really hard to learn for forigner ) and thanks to subscriber for learning my home language ♡ hope you guys learn korean easily by these videos and to have awesome memories if you visit korea!

I hardly ever comment on anything but this video really inspired me to write to you. It makes you genuine, super real, and connected with your audience.

Learning a new language isn't easy as you get older but I'm proving you can teach an old dog new tricks! Cheers to you and your lovely family!

Good for you!! Nothing like embracing your whole self. I am also around your age and Korean will be my fifth language. We can do it!
Your child is sooosoo sooosooo CUTE!!~~ It's really inspiring to here this story!! Thank you for posting it~~^^
hear*
No wonder you are so good at Korean. If someone studies and practices 8 hours a day, I bet the person can be good at anything.
And, while he was learning he was in a Korean work environment
I wanna see him in 10 years and see how his life is then..
Me too!

I don’t know you in person of course but the warmth and genuine joy that you teach with just flows out of the screen at me in every video I watch, you make things so much fun and explain so well and I’m truly grateful to have found your channel. ♥️ I’m kinda secretly hoping that one day I’ll get to have a chat with you and maybe even filming an “a glass with Billy” episode, sharing my own journey and getting to thank you in person. 🙈 ☺️ hey, a girl can dream 😂🤷🏼♀️
정말 감사합니다 빌리 씨 ~ 그럼 다음에 도 봐요!
If you become a UA-camr someday it's not impossible that we could film a Glass with Billy episode together :)
@@GoBillyKorean Hah! 😂 Good thing I’m planning to do just that then 😆 👏🏻🎉 💪🏻 nice, you gave me some extra motivation to stick with it now hahahha 화이팅! 😂
I guess I’ll see you in a few years if all goes well 🤔🤣
I don't know if you will ever see this, but speaking as an English teacher: you are GREAT! I love your videos, your methods of instruction, your enthusiasm. I have bought your books and am as impressed with your methods there as I am with your videos. Keep up the wonderful work.
Congratulations on 200 K subscribers Billy. Thank you for helping me on my Korean journey! :)
I bought this book a while back and few months later (as in today) I stumbled on your UA-cam channel. I wondered why you looked familiar and took me a while to make the connection that YOU wrote the book I bought 😂😂 really enjoy your videos I’ve watch so far, thank you for creating my book ☺️☺️
나도 빵 사러 시내에 가요 was the first sentence that I memorized too, all because of that book. My first Korean friend gifted me it during high school! You're right about Chapter 2 hahaha I didn't get much farther, but I did get started and I'm still learning today ~
I almost cried. How beautiful. I'm so glad that I've made it to your channel Billy, you're my Korean professor and it's an adventure 💗
This is wonderful :) I started learning Korean because a Korean classmate had a friend who wanted an overseas penpal. At first, we just conversed in English, but I also thought the characters were so cute and wanted to learn it!
In the end, I'm still slowly working my way back over the books I bought from you. You are my motivation for learning Korean, because you make it easy and fun. Thank you Billy!
Waw.. congrats for everything you have done and congratulations for your wife and daughter,,she looks so cute!
Keep on doing what you do because you're the best!!
Just came across this 2 year old video after I recently became Billy's Patreon supporter. After hearing your sincere story, I am so happy that your journey is continuing and growing in a wonderful way, Billy!
This entire video made me so happy. I truly believe learning languages opens new doors for people.
Thank you so much for shrimp your story, and I really honestly find your videos and guides so helpful in learning. I learned Hangul completely from your videos and I have a textbook now and I want to try and learn as much as you have! Your son is so adorable! 감사합니다 😊
shrimp ?
CJ T whoops meant “so much”
Did you mean:
"Thank you so much for [SHARING] your story..."?
I have your books to help me, but it wasn’t until this video, I made the connection 🤦🏼♀️ I thought you were using the name from the books to do your channel, NOT that you actually WERE go Billy 🤣🤣🤣
Omg Jeremy is so adorable 😍 and his Korean is good 👍
Awww, your son is so cute! I am jealous of your trip. ^^ We took our two kids last year and just loved it. I hope we can go back again before they're all grown up.
This inspires me PROFOUNDLY. You make me want to embrace my language interest and really make an effort, not just in language learning, but in any of my hobbies. Thank you! 😄
The most adorable and inspirational video I have seen in 2018
When I first saw your learning hangup series I thought you are a native speaker, OMG your Korean is awesome and I learn it as an hobby.
Your videos are so inspiring. I’m am just beginning my journey Hangul at a late age through watching Korean dramas so only recently discovered your channel. You are so natural and relatable and the videos with Jeremy are just wonderful
Man, what an amazing video to watch :) I was always happy to support you but now I’m even more happy! Thanks for sharing!
진짜 애기가 귀엽네요~~^^
항상 좋은 콘텐츠 감사합니다~~
I watched this video a year ago and I agree with you the more I learn Korean the more I love it
Thank you so much for teaching us
And this little kid has the coolest and the most kind dad ever
God bless you billy and your family we are really thankful to you for everything
Omg your son is so cute! 💜 thank you for sharing your personal life!
Congrats on the amazing life changes from studying Korean, working hard, taking risks, and being helpful and friendly!
Thank you for sharing your story and introducing your family! Your baby is so cute!
Hi Billy, I know my comment is more than two years late. I just saw this vid as a recommendation on my YT wall.
Anyway, my sis gave me a copy of your book. I highly enjoyed it. Honestly, I like how your book is presented. There are cultural facts about it. Your book is presented in such a way that is very empathetic with how non-Koreans could learn, being an outsider yourself. The pronunciation rules are still a struggle for me, but you make it easy to understand. I have another book, but the pronunciation rules were very complicated. I also bought your 2nd and 3rd volume of the book so I can study after I am done with the first. As for now, I am currently increasing my vocabulary because I realize that I cannot make various sentences without a varied vocabulary. I had to know more action verbs and descriptive verbs than just "to eat," to go," "to like," and "many."
A thumbs down?! Really?! SMH Thanks for sharing the books! Your son is adorable :-)
I'm crying your son is so cute.
We all need to thankyou for being such a great teacher for all of us 감사합니다. 축하 해요 I don't know if I wrote it correct😂😂
Aaaaaawwwwwww....*teary eyed* thank you Billy..God bless.
awwww your son is soooo adorable! many blessings and thank you for your videos and books!
I am really happy for your family. Thanks
Aaaah got a little bit teary, especially when your son came on. So adorable! Beautiful family!
Wow! Sounds like my journey in learning Spanish! I am married to a Mexican who does not speak English... I have learned Vietnamese for 2 1/2 years now and have started learning Korean! You are such an inspiration!!
Billy, thank you for sharing this story. I enjoyed the whole video from beginning to end especially because you told a little bit more about your life background. Congratulations with your marriage, and I wish you and your wife all the happiness together. I was really happy to hear this and about you having a son. He is soo cute! 😊
Please keep making Korean learning video's. I really love them and they really helped me a lot so far!
Greetings from the Netherlands!!!
Owww that's so wonderful...
I have been watching and learning from your videos since one year and I could never figure out such a big influence a language could make at one's life.Thanks to share about your story!
i just want to thank you so much for your channel and all the hard work and passion you put into it. your channel was the first one i stumbled across when i decided i wanted to learn korean last year, and through it i learned hangul which really kickstarted my korean journey. your videos are super fun and easy to understand, so i kept on watching, then i went on to buy all 3 of your books which have helped me a lot, along with books and resources from talk to me in korean. i still have a long long way to go in order to reach korean proficiency, but without your channel i might never have found a video that explained concepts for beginners so well, and might not have even started learning korean! it’s really amazing to see the positive influence korean has had on your life,it really inspires me to study harder!
Your son is so adorable!!
It’s because we can see you genuinely live and love it. You are appreciated!
Aww. Jeremy s so adorable billy.
why did i tear up? loved this
Great video.! I learned Mandarin to an extremely fluent level just like you did with Korean and I’ve made so many good friends.. waiting for more opportunities! Might learn Korean :-)
So emotional! Omgosh! Thank you for sharing your story! I have to admit, I haven't purchased any of your books because I saw some pages of your first book and it looked too hard for me to do. (But I have watched quite a few of your videos! ;) ) I know ZERO Korean but I am so interested and want to learn it soooo much, it just seems overwhelming for me--and scary. But after watching this and also, seeing your live chat today, I have decided to buy your book tonight and see if my stupid brain can absorb anything and actually learn Korean! I have only seen a few videos but now, I am making it my mission to watch all of them! Keep up the excellent work and your wife and baby are sooooooo cute!!
lovinglanguages1 I have absolute faith you can somehow do it. Whether you learn it quickly or slowly, have fun with it...breath life into it...you know?
Thank you so much, Miguel! I tried learning Spanish once but gave up because I could understand more than I could speak it. I could never figure out how to construct sentences to say, even if I knew what was being said. So I just figured, language learning was not my thing but I still loved hearing different languages and then I heard Korean and fell in love! It hooked me and ! am dying to learn it! So I am going to do it, no matter how long it takes and not give up!
Very nice video! Actually I'm not learning Korean right now at all but as a linguist, you're giving me the input to learn it because you're such a very positive and friendly guy AND because you're passionate and I really feel this passion burning in you. So, thank you and if I start learning Korean, you'll be "responsible" for this!
Aww..very inspiring..I'm having difficulties in studying hangul right now coz I'm also working,I can't consistently schedule my study time..Thanks to your videos Billy, really helpful.
That was *SOOOOOOOOOOOO* CUTE! Thank you *SO MUCH* for sharing!
Everybody was left in tears 😭😭😭 what a genuine and humble man, I am soo happy to see you with such a beautiful family. And your son it's adorable. Fighting oppa!
Aw…I loved this video!
I just started to learn Korean 3 months ago. Wasn’t planning on it. I was going to learn French, but my Daughter(22) wanted to learn Korean and I wanted to encourage her SO I’m learning Korean! I’m 53 so I’m old BUT I’m taking it slow. I’m amazed at how much this old brain is soaking up stuff! I am grateful I came across your channel! You have helped me to not completely rip all my hair out! BATCHIM!!!!! And I love how you explain stuff. You have made it easier for me to learn!
To a lifelong learning of an amazing language!
Your fellow Korean learner, Stefanie.
Ooo woooow your little baby is soooo cute ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Billy and happy UA-cam anniversary! Great content. Now I have to catch Up in 250 vIdeos!
I'm so happy for you! I'm learning Korean and I'm going to get your book soon 😊😛
Thank you Billy. I started learning Hangul from your channel and I found your videos and exercises easy to follow, yet comprehensive. We will continue to support you!
Awwww..your two year old is so adorable!
Your son is absolutely adorable and I loved hearing your story that's awesome.😄
Really happy for you Billy!!! Your videos are so helpful and I'm really grateful for all your help in my journey. I hope you can keep doing this forever!
