What video do you guys want to see next week? How to memorize korean vocabulary faster or a video about my Japanese permanent hair straightening? Comment to let me know! ❤️
뭐?! What? She can speak it because she Learned it, I'm doing the same. I get what u mean, don't get me wrong but I've been distancing myself from certain things that come with having any interest in korea and it's culture so, I almost forgot how true this is
@@user-sx5ob9bm9t yeah exactly you’re a koreaboo if u are so obsessed with Korean culture so much that u denounce ur own culture and call urself korean, it’s not the same as taking the time to learn the language and culture, kpop can also be an inspiration to do so but not just you can call your fav idol oppar lmaoo
if u're a koreaboo for learning korean, all americans are spanishboos bc they learn spanish at school, and for consequence im a englishboo bc im learning english lmao
I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME DAMN THING FR FR HAHAHAHA, like fr I didn't even see your comment until I was gonna write mine and saw that yours says what I was going to write 🤣🤣🤣 I'm englishboo too 🤪
it stems from racist sentiments, no one says anything when you go learn a European language. But also people use the word koreaboo so much that anyone interested in the culture or language is automatically one. Let’s remember that koreaboo is someone that fetishizes.
Right it's so weird when people call anyone learning an Asian language having "a weird obsession" but they'd never say that about someone learning an European language? 🧐 Sounds pretty racist to me...
I’m almost 4 months in and these are some of the things I’m struggling with: 1. Native Korean numbers Sino-Korean numbers is easy math but native Korean numbers actually have separate words for 20, 30, etc. and some irregularities. 2. Formality (반말 / 존댓말) If I’m not mistaken, Korean has 6 (!) different levels of formal speech. There are strict rules for when to use which, but the language sometimes allows for varying formality levels which can also be confusing. 3. Grammar Don’t get me wrong, most of the grammar isn’t THAT difficult, but there is just SO. MUCH. OF IT. I’m almost done with Level 4 of TTMIK and I legit can’t remember half the things I’ve learned so far. 4. Listening I listen to lots of k-pop but I’ve never watched any k-drama. Even some “slowly spoken” practice videos for listening go too fast for me. Same thing with reading at (near) full speed. 5. Different words with the same meaning Lots of English words have a lot of different Korean translations, as in: “you can say this, but you can also say this, and in some situations you can say this, this also means that but has a slightly different nuance...” 6. Vocabulary My vocab sucks ass.
You're right! Learning the grammar is so difficult! I find it the most difficult about their language, maybe because korean sentence structure is different from English. Like English structure is Subject-Verb-Object but Koreans' is Subject-Object-Verb 👀 We used to say "I love you" in English but in Korean it'll be "I you love". I'm learning Korean since 2017 through youtube tutorials by native koreans who's second language is English thinking I would be fluent but I'm still not, I only knew korean words and it's still hard for me to create a sentence.
With regards to point number 5, what has helped me and still helps is to learn things in context instead of learning words per se. This is because when I learned new words I would not know when would be the most appropriate to use them - so now when I learn something new I will try to learn phrases using that word and then as I start to hear it being used more often through this I will have a better understanding of how it is used in daily conversation even if there are multiple translations from the English word.
The first one with the "YoUrE a KoReAbOo", they just don't know what a koreaboo actually is. Liking and learning the korean language, liking the culture, music, makeup style, fashion, food, doing kpop covers and what not, DOESNT MAKE YOU A KOREABOO. What DOES, however, is pretending to be korean, wanting to look korean, pretending to be fluent in Korean with "onionhaseyo" and "oppa", showing off your (very poor) korean skills to look "cool", eating abso-fucking-lutley everything with chopsticks, doing "aegyo" unironically/"acting korean" and last but not least "I will only date my oppa/ korean guys" (I'm not saying that guys cant be kboos, they can, but I've mostly seen girls) Keep doing what you love and stay true to yourself .... unless you're a koreaboo, then stop ❤
Hahahaaha I laughed hard as hell when I read, "eating absolutely everything with chopsticks." I always ask for chopsticks with my meals 😂😂 I like chopsticks Because it's less messy with certain dishes but I don't eat everything with it 😂 like pizza 😋 I'm learning mandarin now but Korean for a hobby. I'm going very slow with Korean though
@@nicoleraheem1195 with some meals it's fine, like sushi, you shouldn't be eating sushi with a fork, y'know 😂 but I mean like I saw a girl eat CHOCOLATE with CHOPSTICKS... AND A WHOLE FUCKING APPLE. And omg good luck with Mandarin 😁🍀
Why are y’all so mean to her? She’s so kind and just wants to learn a very beautiful language :( Don’t listen to them girl, you’re amazing and I love your vids
Wow! Many people have passion for learning Korean language here! :) If you wanna speak Korean, just start simple expressions that Koreans often use in coversation. That makes you interested and curious more and more. :D
bro please dont listen or let those comments effect you, theyre clearly people who have anger/ hatred in something for god knows what reason, that or theyre kidding themselves its koreaboo cause theyre making themself feel better for not putting the effort into learning a language and culture, its a WONDERFUL thing to do its not weird in the slightest , also the profile picture talk?? they literally have an ariana picture themself. so yes anyway ur doing an amazing thing and dont let these kind of ppl get to u theyre just trying to make themselves feel better
I think when people make fun of others for learning Korean or learning any new language and call you Koreaboo or insert stupid name here, they are just telling you really, that they are jealous that you are taking time to learn something new. Many people are too lazy to learn about others and their language or culture. So they become jealous and resentful when they see others doing what they know they should be doing. And then, yes, there are those that fetishize another's culture. Kali, you are not a Koreaboo, you are just an intelligent person that pursued an interest in another culture. Wish more people were like you in this world. Keep up the great work!
I also at one point stopped learning it because people would comment negatively on it but I dont care anymore! Its my 7th language and I dont see how it’s different from learning just another foreign language. ALSO anyone interested in helping or practicing together comment on this!!
The numbers things gave me so much joy and laughter! Haha... it definitely just reminded me of the types things I would do! You're so sweet and ambitious for tackling the Korean language.
Speech levels are really difficult to me. I speak French so we don’t really have such a thing, so it’s pretty difficult to know when to « switch » the speech level 🤔
Hey love! Just wanted to let you know some of my thoughts. I don't think any right-minded Korean person would ever label someone trying to learn our language, and our culture -- something as derogatory as Koreaboo. Sure, they exist, but expressing empathy for another's culture is definitely not Koreaboo behavior. Thank you so much for dedicating your time to opening your horizons to new cultures, and moreover, thank you for choosing to learn ours.
I had already been learning Japanese for a while when I started Korean and I knew the grammar shared similarities. What I wasn't prepared for was the fact that adjectives in Korean are actually "descriptive verbs" and conjugate as verbs with some minor differences, whereas in Japanese adjectives conjugate completely differently from verbs for the most part (and are easier imo). I also didn't expect verbs to be as challenging as they are, as I find them way more irregular than Japanese verbs. I also wasn't prepared for there to be like 3 or 4 future tenses. Another thing I wish I had known was how "n" and "d" consonants and "m" and "b/p" consonants sometimes sound similar to me when Korean is spoken, which is not something I have encountered in any other of the 6 or so languages I've tried to study. All these challenging aspects are really fascinating though from a linguistic perspective. I still find Korean more fun than tiresome to learn and Japanese still helps me learn it a lot faster.
Her voice is so calming,ya so the points she mentioned I relate to most of em , the numbers I was like what , why are they saying different numbers , and also the formal in formal dialect is so confusing at time. Great going girl👍
I was born in the US, but my family is from Portugal so I grew up speaking Portuguese. I LOVE when I find out other people are interested in learning about the language, culture, food and even go and visit. Keep doing you girl.👏🏻
i don´t like to tell people that i´m learning korean coz they thing that i´m a koreaboo but at some point i´ve stopped to worry about it don´t be upset when people say it to you, u know that you aren´t and keep going be fluent and show them
Kuddos for you. Learning a language and culture is ALWAYS a plus. Definitely ignore those who are in negative spaces; they just drain. Go with those who add to your positive mindset. Thanks for your video, positive mindset and guidance.
Wow... I knew there were two sets of number system but had no idea that you needed to use both.. I've only been learning the native one and I'm still having trouble with it... !!!
*I would suggest every one to study Korean and translated to their own native language . You will get thousands of video where they teach Korean translated to your native language. Like I'm Bengali and Korean sentence and grammer structure are exact similar with Bengali . So it gets easier . Just saying tho*
The thing is you can call yourself koreaboo is when you are learning korean when watching just k drama and speaking it if youre not in korea if youre learning like a real student that aint koreaboo and you can call someone a koreaboo is when she wants to be asain or korean but shes not. And here in the ph they will going to teach the public students a korean language and its not KOREABOO.
in portuguese we have lots of crazy conjugation rules, if you follow them straight line it makes you sound more polite (and we have some respectful terms too, but isn't that much), so since i grew up in a family that has this "tradition" (idk how to call it sorry) of talking with people with different words and more respectful vocabulary, it was kinda easy to understand the korean politeness levels and all that stuff
yeah it was easy to understand the politeness level and when to use it, but my problem was that the phrases were so different, ya know? it felt like i was learning 2 ways to say one word for everything
I am currently learning korean but I only have a little time to study because I have tons of workloads from school. I just get to study korean when I'm free but sometimes I give myself the time to rest, not doing nothing. Idk, I guess, I'm honestly lazy. But, this video really gives me motivation to study hard even if I can't put my time on it. That's why, thank you very much for this wonderful video! And I really learned a lot from your videos. ❤
My mother tongue is Portuguese, i learned English when i was young, and now i am trying to learn Korean..... And in Portuguese you do have Formal and Informal speech.
i just discovered your channel randomly and this is my first video and i fell in love with your voice! it’s so soothing and relaxing and i love your korean accent it almost sounds like a native but with a pinch of your style and i started on learning korean even before i knew anything about kpop, kdrama and the meaning of koreaboo and yes i was point out as a koreaboo by my own friends but i didn’t gave up and please you don’t give up either, it’s such a beautiful language to learn plus i subscribed! love ya 💛
one thing i wish i had known was how hard and obscure the grammar can be. there are advanced grammar patterns i’ve learned that i’ve literally never used in a real conversation and only in papers 😂 and also i wish i had known that i’d never be able to have a conversation with a korean without having to explain how long i’ve been able to speak korean,, how i learned it,, if i’ve been to korea, blah blah. definitely would have memorized that script sooner!
My native language is Tamil(Southern India) which is REALLY similar to korean. Eg: We call our fathers Appa too. (아빠 )..And the formal, informal thing is in my language too.. The pronunciation difference is there too..(Eg: 애 , 에 ) so I guess it'd be easier for me to learn korean. Tnks for sharing us yr struggles too..
I've been studying for over a year now, I've never made it public for this reason 😂 I'd prefer to keep it to myself and tell those closest to me! You're doing so so well! Keep it up 😄
Yes. In Spanish there’s a formal and informal like for adults when we’re saying something ab them like “are you going to the park?” For people like your age is “tu vas a ir al parque” and for an adult it would be “usted va ir al parque” and since I grew up speaking Spanish especially with Mexican parents it was obviously easy for me. But I really want to learn A new language just in case or to expand my brain a little. I’m barely starting but I’ll try to be consistent on how long I study and when I study bc sometimes I just get overwhelmed and unmotivated but I’ll just try to get around that. And I think since I’m young I’ll have Ig experience idk but ty for this video!
I'm so glad I got to understand the numbers , Jeondemal & Banmal. I didnt know it could be a challenge not knowing the difference. As for Korea boo? What are they talking about? We love you Kali......
Why do people hate on others who enjoy learning new things? Are we going to call math learners mathboos, call new gamers gamerboos or new drivers driverboos? It just sounds dumb. You do you and stick with your girls☺️💗 Your videos have been helpful for me since I’m a beginner who is interested in learning Korean 😌
i mean dutch has formal and informal ways but mostly it's just the you that changes. informal: jij, je, jouw, jullie etc while formal uses u, uw, u allen etc. and some words are just informal and some are formal but at least 90% of the language can be spoken formally and informally (as in to older and younger people).
10:24 yesss hindi language (my native language ) has formal and informal forms😁 Just to give to example of "you" You informal is "tu"or "tum" in hindi "तृ्"and"तुम" respectively! And you in formal is "aap" in hindi "आप"😁😁 I don't know if you see this but this is how Hindi or most of the Asian languages work 😁😁 I m a beginner in Korea 😂 and I really want to learn it ❤️ love your efforts ! Thankyou ! ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah right we have formal and informal forms too... I recently started learning korean and so far it is going good because the letters sound alot like hindi alphabets but l haven't touched the main part of korean yet so can't conclude that fast. Hope it goes good cause i have a feeling that it might be easy for us indians in some way.❤️
Yeah the formal and informal speech is pretty hard, but it's cool that your husband is korean ❤️. I wish i would've had someone close to me who spoke it so i could practice more 😂
I'm learning Korean now but as you it's not easy and those numbers are really hard to memorize. I can just memorize hana dul set bcz of blackpink's hytl and learning it for BTS and also getting ready to go Korea.However one day I'll learn it. Thanks for the video. Purple you💜🙆
My frnds teases me, look down on me, they don't like me or count on me just bc I like KPOP, Korean culture bc l talk abt Korea only; my frnds says I like them bc of look and on the other hand they say they look like girls man...what kind of specie they are .....sometime it makes me cry a lot ,I do cry sometimes ... but whatever it is I know the country and loved it ever since when people didn't even know the existence of south Korea I'm proud of my country( south Korea ) even tho I not Korean I always say that southkorea is Dreamland is my country, my everything ,my world....who taught me to never give ,work hard always....and most important phrase of my life "FIGHTING✊"
Same.. My mom thinks I like them just because of their looks- They're actually really beautiful humans, inside and out, with feelings AND problems as well. Their music and their personalities motivate me everyday... I don't know how I would handle life without them... Even if they don't know me, they make an impact on me and other's lives. Many Idols learn English, so I want to learn Korean for them-
one thing I wish I knew before learning Korean is that people are going to think you are a koreaboo..... for example: my friend is Korean and she doesn't speak Korean very well. At the time I knew very little but enough to understand that she was cursing at me and I repeated everything perfectly and after I said in English " I don't think that language is appropriate unnie".... when I say she went quiet SHE WENT SILENT.
this is so true especially the first one! i personally am fluent in indonesian, english and quite fluent in japanese. while learning japanese in a language school, i heard that japanese and korean is similar in terms of vocab and grammar, so i started to be interested in learning korean as well since then. but then, i got discouraged seeing that a lot of people call people who learns korean as “koreaboo” and it does make me unmotivated to learn more.
I'm studying korean because I believe it will help me in my screenplay writing career.. I'm not backing down bec I have worked for a local tv station and I think my experience there is worst than anything I have been through in terms of discrimination.
I never got those vibes from you what the heck. I think you’re doing well in your process keep going! There will be more rn telling you you aren’t a Koreaboo than ones that are saying. You inspire others and help us out, thank you 💗 keep making your videos and forget about everyone else, only listen to positive comments
never once have i EVER seen a Korean call a person a koreaboo no matter the circumstances. it’s always the non-koreans that call people that, native koreans are happy that people are interested in learning about their culture!
I speak Hindi (Ione of ndia’s official language) fluently, which follows some principles like the (subject-object-verb = I coffee like instead if I like coffee) form of writing. It’s the same in Hindi so I never found it very confusing. Next is honour-fics. Honour-fics and respecting elders is there in our culture too so that never bothered me. Honestly, just knowing Hindi (which has MANY letters and confusing grammar) helped me as I was already exposed to a language following these principles.
Regarding your comment on Koreans being nice and happy you spoke their language, and how it's the right thing to do: that's great!! And I feel the same when a foreigner speaks Spanish, but I honestly believe if you go to a country you should make an effort to speak the language. So completely agree (Maybe if you're there just for tourism "hello, please and thank you" will do)
For me, I didn’t have a problem learning the numbers, but the native numbers were hard for me to pronounce at first, but now I kinda only use native numbers when I speak and bc of that I have completely forgotten when to use which number system sometimes
As a person "Fluent" in more than one language I have to point out that sometimes learning a language by JUST taking classes is a sure way to NEVER become fluent. Reason nr 1 is that when you get a group of none native speakers together learning a language...they never learn to pronounce the words like a native speaker. Talk to natives, copy natives and repeat repeat repeat ALL they say and do. Here in Norway the foreign community stick together in groups and try to learn Norwegian together. The result is that we have many many groups of people who have lived here for 20+ years and have taken hundres of norwegian classes and STILL can't speak norwegian well enough to be understood by natives. Kids learn language faster than adults because they mimic and copy everything they hear around them. They copy classmates and try to fit in. We lose this ability more and more as we age. So what I am trying to get at is DO NOT learn from others learning a language. Learn from the natives and copy them. This in time will help you become fluent yourself. And the rest of us will not have to cringe while listening to something that almost sounds like the the language you are trying to speak.
All language learning(almost any skill/course) is hard when we are studying and have to study them explicitly. The children are so good at learning anything because they arent and dont study so theoretically and specifically. So I guess I would first try learning language without learning any rules, vocabulary, writing, grammar etc like a child does unknowingly.
Bengali, Hindi Language have this formal and informal side. Now watching different Asian dramas, I feel like it is a whole Asian (central/south Asia) culture to show respect to older people while addressing them and speaking to them. Regardless of which Asian country we are from.
Bro, you know what?! You are absolutely right! I am an Indian and i cant relate more with you.. But here's the thing, Hindi as a language is not EASY, specially when it comes to writing.. GOSH, even as a Native Speaker of Hindi, i make a lot of mistake while writing it, since there are so many different styles of writing the same word, i'll drop down a few alphabets of hindi, which are so damn similar to each other. अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ए ऐ ओ औ I guess this is the case with Majority of India's Youth growing in Metropolitan cities..as English is taught as the 1st language in the schools, whereas Speaking Hindi inside the school premises is strictly prohibited.
I totally feel you about numbers, omg! I'm french, and I still struggle when I hear numbers in english or have to say one... I thought "OMG, HOW AM I GOING TO LEARN TWO SETS OF NUMBERS IN KR ?!", then I went to Korea for 5 weeks to study fashion... and numbers were the only things I understood in the instructions in pattern making, so that I did an even better job than when I studied in my native language... What ? 😳
I wish I spent more time speaking and not so much time just studying. After I started doing language exchanges and started having real conversations my progress went multiple times faster than all the time I did book studying.
A friend of mine invited me to travel to Korea for 10 days with her. I didn't know any Korean before the trip or was too into K-Pop but she was so, I relied on her throughout the whole trip (Thank you, friend). I was so in awe with the country that once I got home, I studied 한굴 till this day. I'm still learning, at least to the point I can read. I'm still learning on how to form sentences and I was surprised because, if you translate Korean literally to English, their grammar is like a jigsaw puzzle haha. THAT was what I'm struggling now. And also spelling. Some words just have extra characters than it sound. PS: 화이팅 !
That's amazing! Visiting Korean is an awesome experience and i think it's cool that you're learning it. The grammar is hard at times, but that's apart of the language learning process, right? good luck with your studies
Omg when you were talking about the informal and formal way of saying goodnight I was like WTF and then the meme had me dying cause that was my exact reaction. I feel like how my attention span is set up and how my memory is set up I have a feeling that it would take me a whole 5 years to just learn half of Korean and the writing, don't even get me started with that. I love how you sound also when you speak Korean. I am from Atlanta so my accent is heavy but not to heavy we tend to cut our words and when I say Korean word it's not pleasing at all it's hard to us my tongue on certain words. I guess I have to practice really hard. Spanish was easy for me but Korean is hard for me for some reason. I can say the bare minimum.
i wish i knew about hanja earlier, it's such a useful thing too learn, but it guess i was kinda scared with the characters, even though you don't have to learn how to write, just how it sounds lol
I know korea has informal, semi formal y formal (according to my korean teacher sksksk) in spanish we have something like that too, we use it only while talking to adults & people we don’t know in my country but in other countries you either use formal or informal jajaja
I'm Korean who can fluently speak Korean and why am I watching this? Lol Buuut thanks to ur content, there're a few things that I haven't noticed till now/recently. Never heard of the term "Koreanboo" , and I didn't even realized until recently that the way we read the time is hour(Native): min(Sino) 😶 and that must be so confusing to people who wanna learn Korean..I know Korean is hard :(
I love learning Korean but damn it’s super hard some days. It’s just the polar opposite of English which is my native language but then I remind myself that it was technically designed to be learnt so we just gotta stick at it!
one thing i wish i knew was how different sentence structure in korean is compared to english !! it took me a while at first to get it and tbh it’s still kinda confusing at times lol but i’m getting it also i just wanted to say that i love your videos !! i’ve been studying korean for about 5 months now and your videos have been a big motivation for me, so i just wanted to say thank you so much for your content ! 🥺💗
Firt of all thank you for your informational video. Like it very much❤ Actually I was confused too when I was learn numbers. Still I didn't get why they use both of this numbers😂 In my native language (azerbaijani) also has formal and informal speech, but it is little bit different from korean. In korean all the grammer are changing when you use formal speech: verb endings, person pronauns and maybe others (I'm still learning, don't know other things are changing or not😂) but in our language formal speech is just plural form of 2nd person pronaun. And we are using this speech only for the people you are meeting first time or older people like aunts, grandma, boss. Not for the person older than you just 1 year😂
I started learning Korean last May and this "friend" of mine called me a "koreaboo" for saying "안녕". So glad that you included that to the list at least aspiring Korean language learners will be aware of it!
저는 한국인입니다. 생각해 본 적 없었던 것들에 대해 생각해 볼 수 있어서 재미있었습니다. 특히 koreaboo라는 단어는 처음 들어봅니다. 숫자가 2가지라는 것도 아무 생각이 없었습니다. 시간을 말할 때 앞뒤로 다른 숫자를 말해야 한다는 것을 이 영상을 보고 처음 깨달았습니다.
Regarding those people, I think the weirdest thing is that most Americans expect the rest of the world to watch American tv shows and know about Hollywood but they're surprised the moment someone is interested in something else and start calling them names. If it's normal for a Korean to know western celebrities, culture, food, and languages then it's also normal for non-asians to be interested in Korean. I, for one would like to learn Korean, not because I want to be Korean but because I'm a foreign language enthusiast. At the moment, I speak all the popular romance languages(French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese), English, and 2 bantu languages(Swahili and Lingala). But my ultimate goal is to eventually know Korean, Arabic, Mandarin, German, Hindi, Fulani, Kinyarwanda and Igbo before I'm 30. So that does not imply that I'm pursuing other people cultures while denying my own. I'm pretty much involved in my own culture as a Congolese woman living in Canada but I still want to enrich my cultural and linguistic knowledge.
English is my first language but the country I'm from, to speak informally we basically use dialect and slang words[ some I don't even know of] and we speak proper structured English to speak formally.
like i’m learning korean and i get so many people calling me a koreaboo just for learning it, yeah i might be a kpop stan but i’m not learning because i wanna “get close to my idols”. i just genuinely love the culture and the language
I can relate to the first reason. My friends always call me a Koreaboo, I sometimes like to practice how to pronounce them, or I speak Korean to somebody who is speaking Korean in a English chatroom (where my friends are also in). It becomes annoying half of the time when I try to explain to them the difference to a Koreaboo and someone who is just trying to learn the language. I sort of regret learning Korean after these things happened.
Honestly, the koreaboo comments hit me too. I grew a love for Korean culture through the music, yes that means K-pop as well although now I majorly listen to just chill music and artists like dean and iu and crush. But, from there I grew a love for the culture. I love the landscapes and how beautiful the country is. I absolutely love the food and am very interested in the traditions. Because of all this, people assume I'm a koreaboo. Lmao I'm not. I'm a VERY proud Nigerian who loves her blackness and just also happens to love and be interested in Korean culture. So why do people bash me from wanting to learn another language. I don't want to come over there and marry my oppa (lmao) if that's what people think. Like damn let me be.
i do learn korean but i keep it as a secret bc my mom and dad don't want me to learn korean , but my sister make me keep going and my teacher says " sylvia can you teach me korean bc the one who teach me is not helping" but the point is the korean is a secret bc some people don't want me to learn korean so it's hard for me to learn

To be honest, the people calling you a Koreaboo are probably just actual Koreaboos themselves, who are jealous that you can speak Korean.
i think so too 😂
@@kalilowe 😂
뭐?! What? She can speak it because she Learned it, I'm doing the same. I get what u mean, don't get me wrong but I've been distancing myself from certain things that come with having any interest in korea and it's culture so, I almost forgot how true this is
ikr she took time to actually learn korean. bravo
@@user-sx5ob9bm9t yeah exactly you’re a koreaboo if u are so obsessed with Korean culture so much that u denounce ur own culture and call urself korean, it’s not the same as taking the time to learn the language and culture, kpop can also be an inspiration to do so but not just you can call your fav idol oppar lmaoo
I’m Korean and I don’t think you are a koreaboo I think you just love the culture
thank you for saying that 💗
if u're a koreaboo for learning korean, all americans are spanishboos bc they learn spanish at school, and for consequence im a englishboo bc im learning english lmao
@@starshine3141 me too
I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME DAMN THING FR FR HAHAHAHA, like fr I didn't even see your comment until I was gonna write mine and saw that yours says what I was going to write 🤣🤣🤣 I'm englishboo too 🤪
ig i'm an englishboo bc ive been learning eng since i could talk
And i guess in UK we're all Frenchboos for learning French in school
I'm hindiboo😂😅
it stems from racist sentiments, no one says anything when you go learn a European language. But also people use the word koreaboo so much that anyone interested in the culture or language is automatically one. Let’s remember that koreaboo is someone that fetishizes.
Right it's so weird when people call anyone learning an Asian language having "a weird obsession" but they'd never say that about someone learning an European language? 🧐 Sounds pretty racist to me...
The numbers got me too!! And the different versions of the word “you” 😩
i'm glad im not the one haha
i heard that 당신 was used to start a fight and lost my mind
@@peachiipark 😂😂
I'm starting to learn Thai and the many different versions of you and I are getting me as well.
Dude And I thought Spanish was bad with the "tu" vs "Usted" forms lol!
I’m almost 4 months in and these are some of the things I’m struggling with:
1. Native Korean numbers
Sino-Korean numbers is easy math but native Korean numbers actually have separate words for 20, 30, etc. and some irregularities.
2. Formality (반말 / 존댓말)
If I’m not mistaken, Korean has 6 (!) different levels of formal speech. There are strict rules for when to use which, but the language sometimes allows for varying formality levels which can also be confusing.
3. Grammar
Don’t get me wrong, most of the grammar isn’t THAT difficult, but there is just SO. MUCH. OF IT. I’m almost done with Level 4 of TTMIK and I legit can’t remember half the things I’ve learned so far.
4. Listening
I listen to lots of k-pop but I’ve never watched any k-drama. Even some “slowly spoken” practice videos for listening go too fast for me. Same thing with reading at (near) full speed.
5. Different words with the same meaning
Lots of English words have a lot of different Korean translations, as in: “you can say this, but you can also say this, and in some situations you can say this, this also means that but has a slightly different nuance...”
6. Vocabulary
My vocab sucks ass.
You're right! Learning the grammar is so difficult! I find it the most difficult about their language, maybe because korean sentence structure is different from English. Like English structure is Subject-Verb-Object but Koreans' is Subject-Object-Verb 👀 We used to say "I love you" in English but in Korean it'll be "I you love". I'm learning Korean since 2017 through youtube tutorials by native koreans who's second language is English thinking I would be fluent but I'm still not, I only knew korean words and it's still hard for me to create a sentence.
With regards to point number 5, what has helped me and still helps is to learn things in context instead of learning words per se. This is because when I learned new words I would not know when would be the most appropriate to use them - so now when I learn something new I will try to learn phrases using that word and then as I start to hear it being used more often through this I will have a better understanding of how it is used in daily conversation even if there are multiple translations from the English word.
The first one with the "YoUrE a KoReAbOo", they just don't know what a koreaboo actually is.
Liking and learning the korean language, liking the culture, music, makeup style, fashion, food, doing kpop covers and what not, DOESNT MAKE YOU A KOREABOO.
What DOES, however, is pretending to be korean, wanting to look korean, pretending to be fluent in Korean with "onionhaseyo" and "oppa", showing off your (very poor) korean skills to look "cool", eating abso-fucking-lutley everything with chopsticks, doing "aegyo" unironically/"acting korean" and last but not least "I will only date my oppa/ korean guys" (I'm not saying that guys cant be kboos, they can, but I've mostly seen girls)
Keep doing what you love and stay true to yourself .... unless you're a koreaboo, then stop ❤
Onionhaseyo😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅😂🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅
THIS
Hahahaaha I laughed hard as hell when I read, "eating absolutely everything with chopsticks."
I always ask for chopsticks with my meals 😂😂
I like chopsticks Because it's less messy with certain dishes but I don't eat everything with it 😂 like pizza 😋
I'm learning mandarin now but Korean for a hobby.
I'm going very slow with Korean though
@@nicoleraheem1195 with some meals it's fine, like sushi, you shouldn't be eating sushi with a fork, y'know 😂 but I mean like I saw a girl eat CHOCOLATE with CHOPSTICKS... AND A WHOLE FUCKING APPLE.
And omg good luck with Mandarin 😁🍀
thank you finally someone understands what a koreaboo means
Why are y’all so mean to her? She’s so kind and just wants to learn a very beautiful language :(
Don’t listen to them girl, you’re amazing and I love your vids
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
“Spainaboo”hahahahhaha loved that!!!!! So true! Like come on! It’s a language like any other.
honestly!
Wow! Many people have passion for learning Korean language here! :)
If you wanna speak Korean, just start simple expressions that Koreans often use in coversation. That makes you interested and curious more and more. :D
Thanks for the tips! :)
The Koreaboo name calling doesn't make sense. I think they're jealous because many people give up learning Korean.
yeah i think so too
I think so too. It discouraged me so much at first. I agree that it was weird and difficult but I am glad we still learning 😅✌🏾
bro please dont listen or let those comments effect you, theyre clearly people who have anger/ hatred in something for god knows what reason, that or theyre kidding themselves its koreaboo cause theyre making themself feel better for not putting the effort into learning a language and culture, its a WONDERFUL thing to do its not weird in the slightest , also the profile picture talk?? they literally have an ariana picture themself. so yes anyway ur doing an amazing thing and dont let these kind of ppl get to u theyre just trying to make themselves feel better
thanks for saying that ❤️❤️
@@kalilowe 💜😊
I think when people make fun of others for learning Korean or learning any new language and call you Koreaboo or insert stupid name here, they are just telling you really, that they are jealous that you are taking time to learn something new. Many people are too lazy to learn about others and their language or culture. So they become jealous and resentful when they see others doing what they know they should be doing. And then, yes, there are those that fetishize another's culture. Kali, you are not a Koreaboo, you are just an intelligent person that pursued an interest in another culture. Wish more people were like you in this world. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for saying that 🧡 I think so too
The reason why I'm learning korean is because i always wanted to understand kpop songs without the subtitles
me too, I hate how I have to focus on the reading the subtitle so I miss little details and the details are the best part
Omg I’m on that “just because you watch Korean drama you don’t learn Korean”😂😂❤️
I legit have picked up 15 phrases and I’m so happy
The numbers was so unexpected for me toooooooo 😭 I learned them pretty fast but it was still hard I would study for hours though
glad you got through them 😂
never knew i was englishboo for learning english :O
I also at one point stopped learning it because people would comment negatively on it but I dont care anymore! Its my 7th language and I dont see how it’s different from learning just another foreign language. ALSO anyone interested in helping or practicing together comment on this!!
The numbers things gave me so much joy and laughter! Haha... it definitely just reminded me of the types things I would do! You're so sweet and ambitious for tackling the Korean language.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Speech levels are really difficult to me. I speak French so we don’t really have such a thing, so it’s pretty difficult to know when to « switch » the speech level 🤔
Same!
Hey love! Just wanted to let you know some of my thoughts. I don't think any right-minded Korean person would ever label someone trying to learn our language, and our culture -- something as derogatory as Koreaboo. Sure, they exist, but expressing empathy for another's culture is definitely not Koreaboo behavior. Thank you so much for dedicating your time to opening your horizons to new cultures, and moreover, thank you for choosing to learn ours.
I had already been learning Japanese for a while when I started Korean and I knew the grammar shared similarities. What I wasn't prepared for was the fact that adjectives in Korean are actually "descriptive verbs" and conjugate as verbs with some minor differences, whereas in Japanese adjectives conjugate completely differently from verbs for the most part (and are easier imo). I also didn't expect verbs to be as challenging as they are, as I find them way more irregular than Japanese verbs. I also wasn't prepared for there to be like 3 or 4 future tenses. Another thing I wish I had known was how "n" and "d" consonants and "m" and "b/p" consonants sometimes sound similar to me when Korean is spoken, which is not something I have encountered in any other of the 6 or so languages I've tried to study. All these challenging aspects are really fascinating though from a linguistic perspective. I still find Korean more fun than tiresome to learn and Japanese still helps me learn it a lot faster.
Her voice is so calming,ya so the points she mentioned I relate to most of em , the numbers I was like what , why are they saying different numbers , and also the formal in formal dialect is so confusing at time. Great going girl👍
I was born in the US, but my family is from Portugal so I grew up speaking Portuguese. I LOVE when I find out other people are interested in learning about the language, culture, food and even go and visit. Keep doing you girl.👏🏻
i don´t like to tell people that i´m learning korean coz they thing that i´m a koreaboo but at some point i´ve stopped to worry about it don´t be upset when people say it to you, u know that you aren´t and keep going be fluent and show them
spanish also has formal and informal but not to the same extent as korean does. Also ur cat is so cute!!
Kuddos for you. Learning a language and culture is ALWAYS a plus. Definitely ignore those who are in negative spaces; they just drain. Go with those who add to your positive mindset. Thanks for your video, positive mindset and guidance.
Well said! ❤️
Wow... I knew there were two sets of number system but had no idea that you needed to use both.. I've only been learning the native one and I'm still having trouble with it... !!!
good luck! you're gonna need it 😂
*I would suggest every one to study Korean and translated to their own native language . You will get thousands of video where they teach Korean translated to your native language. Like I'm Bengali and Korean sentence and grammer structure are exact similar with Bengali . So it gets easier . Just saying tho*
Not related at all but her voice is so calming..
The thing is you can call yourself koreaboo is when you are learning korean when watching just k drama and speaking it if youre not in korea if youre learning like a real student that aint koreaboo and you can call someone a koreaboo is when she wants to be asain or korean but shes not. And here in the ph they will going to teach the public students a korean language and its not KOREABOO.
in portuguese we have lots of crazy conjugation rules, if you follow them straight line it makes you sound more polite (and we have some respectful terms too, but isn't that much), so since i grew up in a family that has this "tradition" (idk how to call it sorry) of talking with people with different words and more respectful vocabulary, it was kinda easy to understand the korean politeness levels and all that stuff
yeah it was easy to understand the politeness level and when to use it, but my problem was that the phrases were so different, ya know? it felt like i was learning 2 ways to say one word for everything
I am currently learning korean but I only have a little time to study because I have tons of workloads from school. I just get to study korean when I'm free but sometimes I give myself the time to rest, not doing nothing. Idk, I guess, I'm honestly lazy. But, this video really gives me motivation to study hard even if I can't put my time on it. That's why, thank you very much for this wonderful video! And I really learned a lot from your videos. ❤
My mother tongue is Portuguese, i learned English when i was young, and now i am trying to learn Korean..... And in Portuguese you do have Formal and Informal speech.
Omg ur voice is so peaceful and ur vibe is just great❤️amazing vid btw
Thank you so much!! ❤️ glad you liked the video
i just discovered your channel randomly and this is my first video and i fell in love
with your voice! it’s so soothing and relaxing and i love your korean accent it almost sounds like a native but with a pinch of your style and i started on learning korean even before i knew anything about kpop, kdrama and the meaning of koreaboo and yes i was point out as a koreaboo by my own friends but i didn’t gave up and please you don’t give up either, it’s such a beautiful language to learn plus i subscribed! love ya 💛
I just made a whole playlist lol I'm gonna watch these and study when I get a chance
enjoy your studies :)
I also thought I knew about korean language just because I see k drama but you just brought me back at this very moment thanks!
Omg your reaction to two set of numbers was so cute!!! I couldn't stop smiling ❤️
It’s so calming to watch you speak
one thing i wish i had known was how hard and obscure the grammar can be. there are advanced grammar patterns i’ve learned that i’ve literally never used in a real conversation and only in papers 😂 and also i wish i had known that i’d never be able to have a conversation with a korean without having to explain how long i’ve been able to speak korean,, how i learned it,, if i’ve been to korea, blah blah. definitely would have memorized that script sooner!
😂😂😂😂😂 yeah those phrases are like second nature now because of the amount of times i was asked
My native language is Tamil(Southern India) which is REALLY similar to korean. Eg: We call our fathers Appa too. (아빠 )..And the formal, informal thing is in my language too.. The pronunciation difference is there too..(Eg: 애 , 에 ) so I guess it'd be easier for me to learn korean.
Tnks for sharing us yr struggles too..
I've been studying for over a year now, I've never made it public for this reason 😂 I'd prefer to keep it to myself and tell those closest to me! You're doing so so well! Keep it up 😄
Yes. In Spanish there’s a formal and informal like for adults when we’re saying something ab them like “are you going to the park?” For people like your age is “tu vas a ir al parque” and for an adult it would be “usted va ir al parque” and since I grew up speaking Spanish especially with Mexican parents it was obviously easy for me. But I really want to learn A new language just in case or to expand my brain a little. I’m barely starting but I’ll try to be consistent on how long I study and when I study bc sometimes I just get overwhelmed and unmotivated but I’ll just try to get around that. And I think since I’m young I’ll have Ig experience idk but ty for this video!
I'm so glad I got to understand the numbers , Jeondemal & Banmal. I didnt know it could be a challenge not knowing the difference.
As for Korea boo? What are they talking about? We love you Kali......
❤️
Love watching Korean dramas ! I am also studying Korean language for fun .
I love to speak it to the little 4 year old kids in my class. They love it!
Thx so much for making this video literally I was like this WHAT 🤯🤯 the whole time. I’m going to learn Korean this summer 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 so excited 😆
In filipino we only use " po " and " opo " thats our formal / polite way to speak hahaha
Why do people hate on others who enjoy learning new things? Are we going to call math learners mathboos, call new gamers gamerboos or new drivers driverboos? It just sounds dumb. You do you and stick with your girls☺️💗
Your videos have been helpful for me since I’m a beginner who is interested in learning Korean 😌
ur korean is actually so good , what are these people even talking about ??? anyways , dont give up , ur doing such an amazing job !!
i mean dutch has formal and informal ways but mostly it's just the you that changes. informal: jij, je, jouw, jullie etc while formal uses u, uw, u allen etc. and some words are just informal and some are formal but at least 90% of the language can be spoken formally and informally (as in to older and younger people).
10:24 yesss hindi language (my native language ) has formal and informal forms😁
Just to give to example of "you"
You informal is "tu"or "tum" in hindi "तृ्"and"तुम" respectively!
And you in formal is "aap" in hindi "आप"😁😁
I don't know if you see this but this is how Hindi or most of the Asian languages work 😁😁
I m a beginner in Korea 😂 and I really want to learn it ❤️ love your efforts ! Thankyou ! ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah right we have formal and informal forms too... I recently started learning korean and so far it is going good because the letters sound alot like hindi alphabets but l haven't touched the main part of korean yet so can't conclude that fast.
Hope it goes good cause i have a feeling that it might be easy for us indians in some way.❤️
@@ishpreetkaur19 happy learning to us 😁😁😁😁😁😁❤️
I'm also learning the Korean language because my husband is Korean. It is hard for me because of the formal and informal Korean words.
Yeah the formal and informal speech is pretty hard, but it's cool that your husband is korean ❤️. I wish i would've had someone close to me who spoke it so i could practice more 😂
I'm learning Korean now but as you it's not easy and those numbers are really hard to memorize. I can just memorize hana dul set bcz of blackpink's hytl and learning it for BTS and also getting ready to go Korea.However one day I'll learn it. Thanks for the video. Purple you💜🙆
1:25 why is Jackie gluing her eyelids down lmaooo
My frnds teases me, look down on me, they don't like me or count on me just bc I like KPOP, Korean culture bc l talk abt Korea only; my frnds says I like them bc of look and on the other hand they say they look like girls man...what kind of specie they are .....sometime it makes me cry a lot ,I do cry sometimes ... but whatever it is I know the country and loved it ever since when people didn't even know the existence of south Korea I'm proud of my country( south Korea ) even tho I not Korean I always say that southkorea is Dreamland is my country, my everything ,my world....who taught me to never give ,work hard always....and most important phrase of my life "FIGHTING✊"
Same.. My mom thinks I like them just because of their looks- They're actually really beautiful humans, inside and out, with feelings AND problems as well. Their music and their personalities motivate me everyday... I don't know how I would handle life without them... Even if they don't know me, they make an impact on me and other's lives. Many Idols learn English, so I want to learn Korean for them-
one thing I wish I knew before learning Korean is that people are going to think you are a koreaboo..... for example: my friend is Korean and she doesn't speak Korean very well. At the time I knew very little but enough to understand that she was cursing at me and I repeated everything perfectly and after I said in English " I don't think that language is appropriate unnie".... when I say she went quiet SHE WENT SILENT.
this is so true especially the first one!
i personally am fluent in indonesian, english and quite fluent in japanese. while learning japanese in a language school, i heard that japanese and korean is similar in terms of vocab and grammar, so i started to be interested in learning korean as well since then. but then, i got discouraged seeing that a lot of people call people who learns korean as “koreaboo” and it does make me unmotivated to learn more.
i started learning korean not bc of kpop of kdramas,, but bc i actually wanted to learn it and learn about the culture,,, so yeah
For Filipino we use Po and Opo, Ho or Oho depending o the dialects the people use. We use formal and informal languages
I'm studying korean because I believe it will help me in my screenplay writing career.. I'm not backing down bec I have worked for a local tv station and I think my experience there is worst than anything I have been through in terms of discrimination.
I never got those vibes from you what the heck. I think you’re doing well in your process keep going! There will be more rn telling you you aren’t a Koreaboo than ones that are saying. You inspire others and help us out, thank you 💗 keep making your videos and forget about everyone else, only listen to positive comments
Thanks for your kind words, Molly ❤️
홀리...열정적이 시네요..ㅇ0ㅇ..
You're passionate. (The first letters were not translated into English.)
never once have i EVER seen a Korean call a person a koreaboo no matter the circumstances. it’s always the non-koreans that call people that, native koreans are happy that people are interested in learning about their culture!
That's so true!
Your voice is so soft and calming ❤️
I speak Hindi (Ione of ndia’s official language) fluently, which follows some principles like the (subject-object-verb = I coffee like instead if I like coffee) form of writing. It’s the same in Hindi so I never found it very confusing. Next is honour-fics. Honour-fics and respecting elders is there in our culture too so that never bothered me. Honestly, just knowing Hindi (which has MANY letters and confusing grammar) helped me as I was already exposed to a language following these principles.
Regarding your comment on Koreans being nice and happy you spoke their language, and how it's the right thing to do: that's great!! And I feel the same when a foreigner speaks Spanish, but I honestly believe if you go to a country you should make an effort to speak the language. So completely agree (Maybe if you're there just for tourism "hello, please and thank you" will do)
I’m not a Korean boo but I’m learning Korean right now and i would be sooo lucky if I were Korean bc they’re soooo pretty and idk I just live them
For me, I didn’t have a problem learning the numbers, but the native numbers were hard for me to pronounce at first, but now I kinda only use native numbers when I speak and bc of that I have completely forgotten when to use which number system sometimes
As a person "Fluent" in more than one language I have to point out that sometimes learning a language by JUST taking classes is a sure way to NEVER become fluent. Reason nr 1 is that when you get a group of none native speakers together learning a language...they never learn to pronounce the words like a native speaker. Talk to natives, copy natives and repeat repeat repeat ALL they say and do. Here in Norway the foreign community stick together in groups and try to learn Norwegian together. The result is that we have many many groups of people who have lived here for 20+ years and have taken hundres of norwegian classes and STILL can't speak norwegian well enough to be understood by natives. Kids learn language faster than adults because they mimic and copy everything they hear around them. They copy classmates and try to fit in. We lose this ability more and more as we age. So what I am trying to get at is DO NOT learn from others learning a language. Learn from the natives and copy them. This in time will help you become fluent yourself. And the rest of us will not have to cringe while listening to something that almost sounds like the the language you are trying to speak.
Keep going unnie 💜
I really like what you’re wearing too 😻 it’s so pretty
thanks!
All language learning(almost any skill/course) is hard when we are studying and have to study them explicitly. The children are so good at learning anything because they arent and dont study so theoretically and specifically. So I guess I would first try learning language without learning any rules, vocabulary, writing, grammar etc like a child does unknowingly.
Bengali, Hindi Language have this formal and informal side. Now watching different Asian dramas, I feel like it is a whole Asian (central/south Asia) culture to show respect to older people while addressing them and speaking to them. Regardless of which Asian country we are from.
Bro, you know what?! You are absolutely right! I am an Indian and i cant relate more with you.. But here's the thing, Hindi as a language is not EASY, specially when it comes to writing.. GOSH, even as a Native Speaker of Hindi, i make a lot of mistake while writing it, since there are so many different styles of writing the same word, i'll drop down a few alphabets of hindi, which are so damn similar to each other.
अ आ
इ ई
उ ऊ
ए ऐ
ओ औ
I guess this is the case with Majority of India's Youth growing in Metropolitan cities..as English is taught as the 1st language in the schools, whereas Speaking Hindi inside the school premises is strictly prohibited.
I totally feel you about numbers, omg! I'm french, and I still struggle when I hear numbers in english or have to say one... I thought "OMG, HOW AM I GOING TO LEARN TWO SETS OF NUMBERS IN KR ?!", then I went to Korea for 5 weeks to study fashion... and numbers were the only things I understood in the instructions in pattern making, so that I did an even better job than when I studied in my native language... What ? 😳
I wish I spent more time speaking and not so much time just studying. After I started doing language exchanges and started having real conversations my progress went multiple times faster than all the time I did book studying.
Totally agree!
@@kalilowe if you go to my profile you can see some videos of me with my tutor and wife's grandmother speaking Korean
A friend of mine invited me to travel to Korea for 10 days with her. I didn't know any Korean before the trip or was too into K-Pop but she was so, I relied on her throughout the whole trip (Thank you, friend). I was so in awe with the country that once I got home, I studied 한굴 till this day. I'm still learning, at least to the point I can read. I'm still learning on how to form sentences and I was surprised because, if you translate Korean literally to English, their grammar is like a jigsaw puzzle haha. THAT was what I'm struggling now. And also spelling. Some words just have extra characters than it sound.
PS: 화이팅 !
That's amazing! Visiting Korean is an awesome experience and i think it's cool that you're learning it. The grammar is hard at times, but that's apart of the language learning process, right? good luck with your studies
Omg when you were talking about the informal and formal way of saying goodnight I was like WTF and then the meme had me dying cause that was my exact reaction. I feel like how my attention span is set up and how my memory is set up I have a feeling that it would take me a whole 5 years to just learn half of Korean and the writing, don't even get me started with that. I love how you sound also when you speak Korean. I am from Atlanta so my accent is heavy but not to heavy we tend to cut our words and when I say Korean word it's not pleasing at all it's hard to us my tongue on certain words. I guess I have to practice really hard. Spanish was easy for me but Korean is hard for me for some reason. I can say the bare minimum.
i wish i knew about hanja earlier, it's such a useful thing too learn, but it guess i was kinda scared with the characters, even though you don't have to learn how to write, just how it sounds lol
yeah i was scared too, i guess thats why i took me a while to start
I know korea has informal, semi formal y formal (according to my korean teacher sksksk) in spanish we have something like that too, we use it only while talking to adults & people we don’t know in my country but in other countries you either use formal or informal jajaja
I'm Korean who can fluently speak Korean and why am I watching this? Lol Buuut thanks to ur content, there're a few things that I haven't noticed till now/recently. Never heard of the term "Koreanboo" , and I didn't even realized until recently that the way we read the time is hour(Native): min(Sino) 😶 and that must be so confusing to people who wanna learn Korean..I know Korean is hard :(
😂😂 it was really confusing
I love learning Korean but damn it’s super hard some days. It’s just the polar opposite of English which is my native language but then I remind myself that it was technically designed to be learnt so we just gotta stick at it!
Just ignore those ppl they are just stupid u did great i watch few of ur vids after i watch this one and u did ntg wrong fighting girl support u💜
one thing i wish i knew was how different sentence structure in korean is compared to english !! it took me a while at first to get it and tbh it’s still kinda confusing at times lol but i’m getting it
also i just wanted to say that i love your videos !! i’ve been studying korean for about 5 months now and your videos have been a big motivation for me, so i just wanted to say thank you so much for your content ! 🥺💗
😂😂 yeah that took me by surprise too, it made translating harder too
also thanks for watching my videos, i really appreciate it 💗
U r really giving me some inspiration to learn korean😊 love u thank u so much.
Firt of all thank you for your informational video. Like it very much❤ Actually I was confused too when I was learn numbers. Still I didn't get why they use both of this numbers😂 In my native language (azerbaijani) also has formal and informal speech, but it is little bit different from korean. In korean all the grammer are changing when you use formal speech: verb endings, person pronauns and maybe others (I'm still learning, don't know other things are changing or not😂) but in our language formal speech is just plural form of 2nd person pronaun. And we are using this speech only for the people you are meeting first time or older people like aunts, grandma, boss. Not for the person older than you just 1 year😂
I started learning Korean last May and this "friend" of mine called me a "koreaboo" for saying "안녕".
So glad that you included that to the list at least aspiring Korean language learners will be aware of it!
I'm sorry you had to experience that.
But learning this language is so rewarding! Good luck to you :)
For me it’s the dialects I might talk in multiple at once
i wish i knew the grammar would be so hard and i wish i knew the special pronunciations for certain letters when they're in certain places in a word
저는 한국인입니다. 생각해 본 적 없었던 것들에 대해 생각해 볼 수 있어서 재미있었습니다. 특히 koreaboo라는 단어는 처음 들어봅니다. 숫자가 2가지라는 것도 아무 생각이 없었습니다. 시간을 말할 때 앞뒤로 다른 숫자를 말해야 한다는 것을 이 영상을 보고 처음 깨달았습니다.
Regarding those people, I think the weirdest thing is that most Americans expect the rest of the world to watch American tv shows and know about Hollywood but they're surprised the moment someone is interested in something else and start calling them names. If it's normal for a Korean to know western celebrities, culture, food, and languages then it's also normal for non-asians to be interested in Korean.
I, for one would like to learn Korean, not because I want to be Korean but because I'm a foreign language enthusiast. At the moment, I speak all the popular romance languages(French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese), English, and 2 bantu languages(Swahili and Lingala). But my ultimate goal is to eventually know Korean, Arabic, Mandarin, German, Hindi, Fulani, Kinyarwanda and Igbo before I'm 30. So that does not imply that I'm pursuing other people cultures while denying my own. I'm pretty much involved in my own culture as a Congolese woman living in Canada but I still want to enrich my cultural and linguistic knowledge.
English is my first language but the country I'm from, to speak informally we basically use dialect and slang words[ some I don't even know of] and we speak proper structured English to speak formally.
like i’m learning korean and i get so many people calling me a koreaboo just for learning it, yeah i might be a kpop stan but i’m not learning because i wanna “get close to my idols”. i just genuinely love the culture and the language
I can relate to the first reason. My friends always call me a Koreaboo, I sometimes like to practice how to pronounce them, or I speak Korean to somebody who is speaking Korean in a English chatroom (where my friends are also in). It becomes annoying half of the time when I try to explain to them the difference to a Koreaboo and someone who is just trying to learn the language. I sort of regret learning Korean after these things happened.
Honestly, the koreaboo comments hit me too. I grew a love for Korean culture through the music, yes that means K-pop as well although now I majorly listen to just chill music and artists like dean and iu and crush. But, from there I grew a love for the culture. I love the landscapes and how beautiful the country is. I absolutely love the food and am very interested in the traditions. Because of all this, people assume I'm a koreaboo. Lmao I'm not. I'm a VERY proud Nigerian who loves her blackness and just also happens to love and be interested in Korean culture. So why do people bash me from wanting to learn another language. I don't want to come over there and marry my oppa (lmao) if that's what people think. Like damn let me be.
oh my goddd i was in the middle of writing korean verbs while i got the notif for ur video! btw thanks for teaching me 한글
You're welcome 😊
Nepali language also have different forms according to age, gender and closeness.😊🇳🇵
Wow all of this was relatable 😂 just finished watching
i do learn korean but i keep it as a secret bc my mom and dad don't want me to learn korean , but my sister make me keep going and my teacher says " sylvia can you teach me korean bc the one who teach me is not helping" but the point is the korean is a secret bc some people don't want me to learn korean so it's hard for me to learn
