What up! It's Victor with my new video! This time I went to a local Korean market to experiment with my new camera and try some local Korean food! Koreans reacted to me very well and I loved the food! It was my first time shooting with this camera, so not everything turned out like I want it to be! But the good news is that there are some funny moments that you will definitely like!

the second stall feels like the grandma is judging him if she will be a good candidate for in law 😂😂
I thought the same thing LOL She was totally vetting him for his eligibility.
That's literally what Every Asian old people would do. They would always think about securing their heritage and financial of their lineage, and of course when it comes to white people Asian are a total simp for white skin.
It's just our cultural and stereotypes.
This also goes to China and Japan.
That's exactly what i thought when she started asking those questions😂
hahahahahhaha same thoughts!!! i thought that the grandma will tell about her granddaughter 😂
Not really old people in Korea doesn’t like foreigners get married with their sons. I told you for experience because I lived there, they have a derogatory nickname to refer to foreigners. 😿 I heard it many times
most elderly Koreans tend to "interrogate" younger people like that; that's just their way of making conversation. they can seem rude to ask so many personal questions, but you handled it well 👏
exactlyyyy lol elderly koreans r so direct but not in a rude way
@@telepathicmagicshop Yep that's a fact 🙂
I thought she might be trying to hook him up with a granddaughter lol
@@lachlan398 I think it’s just old people😂
This happened the other day white bloke talking to me in mandolin,, turns out he was speaking Welsh
That man was very kind to offer Soju actually! When I think about it, I realized that in my country no one is that kind to actually give free stuff to complete stranger, although it is just one glass of Soju. Koreans are definitely well raised!
Korean people are very kind!
When I was on a train in Korea en route to Nami Island, the group of ahjumma sitting next to me was kind enough to offer me and friends coffee, that they were having, a cup for each of us. After that an orange for each of us, and before we got off the train, they gave us a snicker bar each. We were so thankful to them. Maybe we looked like a bunch of hungry kids back then 😂😂😂
Are you Asian? Many people from other Asian countries have this same kind of hospitality. Arabs, Indians, South East Asians, you name it.
@@main_tak_becus6689 I am east European. European countries are also very hospitable, however you'd rarely see hospitality in cities. Only villages
Soju has a mini-culture behind it. It was actually technically rude for the guy to reject the soju offer, but it’s ok because he’s not korean.
To all non-Koreans, learn from this young Russian lad. If you try to speak the language, the natives will be extra kind to you.
Not everyone wants to live in Korea though and not everyone can or want to learn their hard language! If you just travel for a bit i don’t think it’s necessary! You could learn some phrases but you will not understand what they say to you
@@roselamoure korean is not hard. 😂😂😂 also the only place you can travel is the capital, and even then not everyone is acquainted with english. Outside of Seoul nobody really speaks english.
as an italian 16 yrs old, i didn’t know any english 5 years ago, and my family decided to move to england, yk it was a bit too much i was just 11 and i didn’t speak any english, people used to treat me as if i was stupid, but now that i know most of the english language i can see the difference. and plus i’m now learning korean, (for quite a while actually) and my plan is to move there after i turn 18, and ngl my advice to all the people is to learn other languages, other than it’s fun to learn new languages, but also i feel like we are being respectful at the same time? like not everyone speak english, especially if you wanna go to italy, not everyone is good at it
@@roselamoure I don't know where you from but you must be living under a rock. These days there are so many people around the world who want to learn Korean because K-Pop, K-Drama, and Korean food. My point is you don't have to live or know Korean, but knowing other languages opens up new opportunities and special experiences. Most of the Europeans can speak 3 to 5 languages. So don't be an Ugly American! Before you respond educate yourself by looking up the term the "Ugly American."
@@roselamoure korean is a relatively easy language… especially compared to other asian languages. harder than european ones for sure, but its so easy to learn to read, speak and understand
Lol. Seemed like the old lady was scouting you for a marriage for her daughter or something.
Haha maybe 😂
I know a lot of Korean grannies. Yeah, she was scouting..... LOL
I thought the same thing lol. That’s a major amount of respect from her too, Korean families are usually very strict about marriage from what I know
Yeah definitely haha 😄 😆
Yeahhhh I thought the same
Koreans at street/food markets are really wholesome people, and they always seem so nice! By the way, you are very talented Victor, and it's really difficult to learn a new language, especially Korean. And just in 2 years, that's absurd! Keep up the content man, you're gonna have a great future, mark my words.
Thank you🙏
It's definitely not difficult, i learned good English after one year when i moved to England, you just got to have conversations with people every day and take some classes and read every day for about 30 minutes- 1 hour and you can learn a language pretty fast, ur probably slow that's why you think it's difficult
@@akritasdigenis4831 People are different, and you trained for a lot every single day.
@@akritasdigenis4831 English is a very easy language though, Koreans a completely different philosophy pronunciation and alphabet
@@akritasdigenis4831 tbh english is by far one of the easiest languages to learn.
I’m half Korean but speak korean at home at a conversational level. But wow! Your Korean and accent is clear and I’m easily able to understand you! People are always more friendly and more receptive to foreigners that speak their language ❤️
The elderly woman might've been trying to hook you up with one of her grand daughters 🤣 She was so precious and wholesome
@Aghast That and he's tall and handsome with fair skin, and they probably assume he has some money.
@@willvr4 But she was embarrassed that he was from Russia.
Fairly or not being from Russia at this time is rough considering the unjust war against Ukraine 🇺🇦. I don’t blame the Russian people i blame PUTIN!
@@terrondt 90% of russians support putin.
I know that many of you guys came new to my channel recently and I just want to say thank you so much for saying all those kind words and subscribing. I really appreciate it🙏 Thank you so much for supporting me and saying all those things. I learn from you as well and I hope that my content will help you to create a better life for yourself by learning languages and talking to people. Can't express how thankful I am to connect with you.

Personally I found your channel through recommended, the algorithm might be in your favour now.
@@darkalligraph I see! Thank you!
@@VictorTalking I saw you on TikTok! Nice video, I enjoyed watching it👌🏾
i wonder how your angle camera works? is there another person secretly filming?
btw..,you give me Moses/Laoshu50500 vibe,, love it👌🏻
@@darkalligraph The algoritm favors those who sacrifice fresh young madens at the altar on a full moon! 🙋♀️
At least that's what my Aztec ancestors used to believe 😄
I find myself in periods where I start to learn Korean, then I get discouraged. It isn't until I watch these types of videos that I get the motivation to learn again. Just subbed!
That's the best comment Chris! Thank you so much for saying that💪💪🔥🔥
make sure you arent learning based on impulse, itll only lead to you moving on due to impulse too! Good luck!
interesting, didnt know menstruation causes a sudden interest in learning languages. good to know
@@encapsule2220 good one bro lmao
@@encapsule2220 maybe it has something to do with the hormonal imbalance caused due to menstruation , women also tend to get more angry or more emotional during this period.
말하는 톤이 진짜 한국인 같으세요!! 어려운 문장 안 써도 그냥 억양 이런 게 어색함이 없으셔서 진짜 잘하신다는 게 느껴져요ㅋㅋㅋ 한국어 오래 배운 사람도 억양, 발음은 어색한 경우 있는데 말씀하실 때 그런 게 하나도 안 느껴져서 신기하네요
너무 감사합니다 🙏🙏🙏
Sounded like that lady interrogated you to check out if you could be a possible match for her daughter
Haha you never know 😂
Husband material background check
This man lived in Korea for 2 years and he can speak Korean fluently. I’ve been in the Philippines for 3 years but I still can’t form a full sentence in Tagalog. Man! I need to up my game!
It's never late!
Accent and pronunciation is always the hardest part to get down. You probably could you just need to put the work in and converse so that it’s easier to memorize. The more conversations you have the more you are “pressured” to pay attention/respond in conversation thus learning more. You got this!
To be fair. Tagalog is very hard without dedicated study
You'll get there 😊
Wala ko kasabot Tagalog charot
such amazing linguistic ability.... you're a true inspiration and talent!!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
@@VictorTalking how did you learn!?!?!
Your Korean accent sounds very natural. Very impressive. P.S. Ah, that makes me miss Korea.
Thank you so much! You should definitely visit here again!
Hey Victor, you're a real inspiration brother. You're makin this Iraqi lad more motivated than ever to go back to learning Korean. Cheers for the amazing videos, Keep it up! :)
Thank you so much for your support 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥
I have to say he's my inspiration too, his korean is so wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You know my daughter has not given me grandchildren yet.
She was doing the whole marriage candidate exam 😂
😂
Actually, when I close my eyes and haven't seen you yet as a foreigner, I would automatically assume you're almost or maybe a native speaker already because of the accent and concise grammar. HAHA
Well done. This is impressive!! And having lived in S. Korea for only 2 years, it's truly spectacular.
Thank you so much🙏
I love how open and kind most of the people you come across are it's so refreshing
As a Korean respect to you for learning our language you are more fluent then some Koreans lmao will always support your channel
🙏🙏🙏
Love the genuine compliments you receive by even a passerby. People are just genuinely happy to see others excited about foreigners knowing their language.
It is a pleasure to watch this. I spent many years in Russia and Ukraine and my Russian is still not perfect! Though recent events have been difficult for me!! I love this grass roots form of viewing Korea as it gives an insight to the country which is in tune when I visit countries world wide and like to see places like this that are not viewed as tourist spots!! Great video!!
Корейцы очень приветливые и добродушные люди! Спасибо Виктор! Добра Корее 🇰🇷
если ты говоришь на их языке - да, если нет то не особо они приветливые
Great video. I'm a retired linguist who spoke Arabic. I'll probably never go to Korea, I'm too old and have had a stroke, but it is simply wonderful to witness how linguistic knowledge pushes aside all cultural barriers, allowing people to meet and trust each other. Russian should be taught more across the UK and English made compulsory in Russia! As you show, what really beautiful exchanges between people would become possible. Subbed!
В России преподают английский язык в средней школе.
Hope you have a miracle recovery and have chance to do whatever you want sir. Take care.
To keep toxic liberalism from infecting Russia, they should not promote English.
The Grandma asking those questions like she is ready to hook him up with her daughter or grand daughter. 😂😂

Your Korean is great, you got the tone and mannerisms on point. Always found Korean people to be very polite, especially with how they deal with older people.
потрясающе! такое мотивирующее на изучение языка видео, спасибо за него!
I swear that auntie at the second stall was grilling you to figure out how you know Korean so well 😂
Hahaha probably
I thought she was gonna try and set him up with her granddaughter lol
Since she was asking if he's married, living alone, how much he earns
3:51 I bet she was asking that for her granddaughter ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ
it must feel nice to see your efforts in learning a language paid off
This is so good. Everyone loves to hear him speak. I don’t know Korean but I’ve seen kdramas and Chinese dramas. Between the two I like Korean better. Is as if what you hear is what they say thing. While Chinese to me sound a bit like French. Too many twists and turns of the tongue. Anywho. Great video Victor. 💝
Thank you!!!
Yes, I'm familiar with the language enough to know how it sounds like, sounds a big rougher than Chinese, so it's probably why I also prefer Korean dramas, because it's easier to follow along with what they're saying even if you don't speak the language. Anyway, I'm rambling
I've been looking for a CZcamsr who does Korean videos like this for ages.
You're the first one I've found!
It's usually just Chinese...

Thanks man! Actually, I also noticed that recently! I'm gonna do more of those🔥

That's really cool that you're very fluent in their language that means so much to them! Keep being awesome
Super motivating, can't wait for more videos, much love ♥️
🙏 Thank you!
Whoaa...Impressive!! You speak better than most Second-Generation Korean Americans!
Thank you 🙏
I like how the grandma’s first question was “are you married?” Here in Italy grandmas always wants to see their niece or nephew get married and always ask about it
I am so impressed with your Korean. The Koreans seem to love it when you reply back to them in Korean 😂
My man asked, “is it delicious?” And then proceeded to tell him, “please eat more!”
I wish everyone had that mentality. Please, have more.
I absolutely love Korean culture and spend a lot of time trying to learn the language. It’s one of the easiest languages to learn and watching K dramas on Netflix and listening to their music help to retain what I have learned. Not to mention the food is sooo good!!
korean is not easy to learn at all lol
If you are attempting to learn a new language in your teens and well into adulthood, then it will not be easy. However, for me, Korean is the easiest language I have learned out of all other languages I’ve made attempts at. Their language system is the easiest to learn out of all other languages. But just cause it isn’t easy for you doesn’t mean it isn’t easy for others, especially if they’re already bilingual.

@@hunterwilliams1126 Hangul, which is the Korean letter is kinda easy to learn.. but yeah... speaking Korean is like a whole new level..
I'm actually addicted to these type of videos frr especially you and xiaomanyc
Very heart-warming content! You rocking it bro!
Thanks man🙏🙏
Keep it up! I see your channel blowing up majorly. Great content and it's nice to see the interactions and good food!
I really admire anyone who speaks more than one language fluently.
YT algorithm led me to nowhere and I'm now watching this video as a native Korean speaker myself, and I gotta say your Korean is GREAT! Your nailed on your accent, intonation that even some Koreans often make mistakes. Really cool to see you having fun with local 아줌마 and 아저씨's in 전통시장 haha it's always a fun place to be at 😂
Oh i wanna visit Korea someday, people seem so wholesome there.
Very kind people in the video, nicer to drink with others i guess with the man's offer; wanting to help people out is a super nice gesture! Cheers for talking to them and making this video!
Your Korean is incredible mate!
Thank you!!
A few times I felt they were asking things purely to explore your linguistic skills... It's so nice to see the wonder in their eyes.
와 대박 ㅋㅋㅋ 시장가서 어르신들 말씀알아듣는거는 진짜 고급 한국어 실력인데 대단하시네용 나중에 부산같이 사투리쓰는 지역 시장가시면 어떠실지 궁금하네요 ㅎㅎ대단합니다~
감사합니다 ~~🙏🙏 네, 근데 사투리 아직 많이 못 배워서 걱정 됩니다 🤣
I love how it brought smiles to just about everyone he spoke to
This is so wholesome. Lol the 2nd grandma looking for future candidates for her kids 🤣
I’m half Korean/ Norwegian and I Showed this to my korean mother and she was very impressed. And told me that i should have practiced more.
One of my closest friends got married to a Korean that he met on a Chinese Study-tour. During the wedding all the Koreans from her side spoke Mandarin. The bride's brother though also majored in Russian. Conveniently one of the groom and bride's friends was a Russian and she majored in Korean. She would talk to the bride's brother in Korean and he would answer back in Russian. It was amazing.
Korean here.
You're really good in this language, probably even better than me. Man I respect you for being so fluent
02:35 i drink water 😂🤣
0:40 1:16
I swear the way he says thank you (감사합니다) sounds soooo native it's ridiculous.
Instead of saying "Gamsa Hap Nida", many Korean men will say "Gamsa Hamda" in a low tone which is kind of a military slang they pick up during their mandatory services.
He is a true native Korean speaker for this. Truly amazing.
With so many racism stories of Korean people towards outsiders, this content surely is a fresh air to know that not all people is racist there. All i gotta do now is show this video or videos like this to convince people that there are still good people there who can appreciate diversity.
1. Favorable face 2. Social 3. Fluent in foreign language 4. Polite
No wonder why he was treated well in the market.
Well, if you thought all Koreans were racist then that would make you the racist. And if you have to show this video to people to convince them Koreans arent racist then so are they.
@@DarkAngel2512 Hahahah worry not, I have never thought that *all* Korean are like that, because I have common sense and I don't jump to conclusions so quickly, like what you did just now.
@@cotenero "..that not all people are racist there" because you needed this video to tell you that
@@DarkAngel2512 No, I already know most of Koreans are nice. Yet some people don't, and this video might be a great help to show them and break their ignorant prejudice. Learn to comprehend and understand the context first before judging someone, please. 😊
Food looks so delishious! Great job speaking Korean!
Знание языков дает осознание культуры народа носителя языка, сколько усилия было приложено к изучению базы языка ну и конечно общение людьми делает свое дело. Лайк однозначно!
I hope everything is well with your family. Another great video
Thank you so much Jame🙏
Aww! Glad this video got recommended. You are very genuine and good to show off the language. Dang! That means you can also speak Chinese then. You can speak 4 ahh!!! I somewhat forgot my native and not that great in Eglish 😭
Thank you💪🔥
You even have the inflections down. I love how you disarm everyone as soon as you speak
keep it up, we always support u ♡
Thanks so much🔥🔥🔥
Hey Victor , nice video! It doesnt matter where your from its whats in your heart. I have subscribed to support you👍
Thank you so much!!🙏🙏🙏
Very happy that I'm here... Thanks to CZcams... Subscribed forever... Also I'm always like to see people reactions whenever foreigners surprises them with speaking their native languages... Pls do more videos...
lol, that Korean grandmother already trying to see if she can set him up. so funny.
woahh you're really good at korean I could understand everything you've said really clearly. keep it up you're so goooood
The first Ajeossi's chuckle when Victor said he doesn't want to go back 😂
Hahah, the little bump the old man did at 0:54 was wholesome. My grandpa would do that a lot to me
In Germany here
Alot of my family members are born here
My niece is 13yrs old and she was born her and people are always telling her "you speak very good german"
And she goes "I am from here".....
The eyes 👀👀
I always laugh ......

@@VictorTalking def! 😂😂😂 you’re welcome and thank you too (for the content)
@@VictorTalking Hi Victor, I have a suestion regarding the resources you’d advise for someone that starts learning Korean and Japanese? I have heard good things from Genki as well as From Zero to Japanese. (Which one would you recommend?) and for Korean I heard great things about TTMIK and Go!Billy textbooks. Which one(s) would you recommend?
Background in languages: I am born and raised in Belgium so I know Dutch, some French and English and I am Turkish from origin: so I know a language that has the same (similar) grammar structure (sentence structure) as that of Japanese and Korean.
Victor, you are so good. I fumble through a few sentences and people look at me with pity. Now I have something to aspire to. спасибо
Im from U.S i wish i could speak a different Language like that super cool man keep pumping out the videos
Aaaww ajumma was sooo sweet. Loved that she was asking you questions, i find it cute. Hehee
I spent a summer in Korea, and I also speak fluent Korean. I used to get some of the looks and questions if I was married.
Foreigner with a good job = good :D No wonder babushkas ask about that. A pretty Korean girl who could speak the country's language would probably have a lot of "offers" in Western countries too (Europe, don't know about NA since there's a lot of different nationalities there, not rare).
Meanwhile me(native korean) speaking english is considered normal. :(
What an awesome video. Really enjoyed it!
great video as always, your korean is so good!
Thank you!🙏
I was stationed near Pyongtaek in the army and learned a bit of Korean before going. Tried to bargain with a shop owner on a blanket and he told me to 'just speak English' and eventually ran me out of his store.
Lmao
Hahaha. I had a similar experience in Spain
Wow! Learning Korean is one thing, but living in Korea itself is on another level. Being surrounded by the culture and the native speakers itself really helps in cultivating our understanding and speaking skills. I've been learning Korean for a while now, and this really inspired me. I really want to visit Korea someday. Your Korean is flawless! Keep up the good work!
🙏🙏
Oh hey a new upload! I found your channel at the right time it seems :)
Thanks so much for your support 💪🔥

I better go to sleep after this video though, it's 12:46am now here in Australia, one hour behind Korea I think..

That so sweet you take the time to learn a culture and learnt the language.
Very inspiring stuff. Love seeing their reactions

Koreans are the best man. I was stationed there back in 2019. Enjoy your stay, when you leave you'll miss it!
I don't plan to leave though ☺️
Fantastic video. I’m asking this question with all due respect.
Have you found that random people you meet day to day treat you differently now with regards to you being Russian and the current war?
Thank you! No, I feel zero difference in how people treat me, which I'm very much thankful for...
