- This episode will talk about Korean immersion - what is "immersion" really, and is it really the best method for learning Korean? Why or why not? I also share how you can be immersed in Korean without living in Korea.

This is how I became fluent in Korean without realizing it. ^_^ I'm actually Korean but couldn't speak the language well since I grew up in the US. Then I moved back to Korea when I was 13 and was thrown into an all-Korean school where nobody spoke English. Total immersion against my will lol! I did study vocab and grammar etc. but the fact that I couldn't speak anything but Korean really made me progress super quickly. Obviously most other learners won't be in the same situation as I was, but from experience I can say Billy's video is spot on!!!
I hope you are fleunt now
Saem - 선생 님, I had a Korean friend whose family immigrated to the U.S. after he had just graduated from high school. Although he only lived a 5-minute distance from campus, he insisted that he live in a dorm. Needless to say, he became proficient in all facets of everyday English after 2 years ... to the point where he was talking all the smack, even to female coeds, aka putting the mack down!. So as it was your experience, his self-imposed immersion, where he can only speak English w/ his school peers and away from his Korean family, helped him go a long way in becoming proficient in all facets ... formal textbook English as well as the common everyday spoken English by his young peers!
4:40 "Make wherever you are Korea." It's almost like Buckaroo Banzai once said. "No matter where you go, there you are."
No matter where you go, you are there.
Immersion = Exposure + Mindset
Thank you for this video! I completely agree. Speaking from experience, I studied German for 4-5 years when I was back home in Bulgaria, it was working pretty well and I really studied hard and tried my best to expose myself to the language (there are not many Germans in my city, only as tourists in the summer but that was enough). It was my goal to study in Germany and I achieved it and I must say that for the last year that I've been here, my German has improved immensely, it became much more natural and fast, I understand 100% when I listen and I learned so many new words and expressions that hardly any book could have given me. It really is a matter of effort because some of my friends here don't feel as comfortable with the language, even though they've been here for the same amount of time, it's not your room in a German city and the German air that are going to make you fluent, it's the willingness to put yourself in uncomfortable situations and learn from them. I never use English with my German speaking friends and I've made some funny mistakes but at the end of the day, you learn the best from them. In addition, I really enjoy your videos and always find them so easy to study with, thank you so much for the effort! :))
Ohhh that's a really great Story that Only Life can write🤗 I'm really happy that You share this with us❤️ it makes me hoping and Working Harder to get fluent in korean 😅 by the way i'm German haha💪 danke für's lernen unserer seeeehr schwierigen Sprache! Alles gute für dich 😋
I like to create a korean immersion bubble where I am. I’ll listen to korean music, podcasts, watch korean CZcams videos, I’ll try throughout the day to think in Korean (and this actually really helps) I’ve recently started watching dramas again and doing language exchange. I try to spend as much of my day in Korean as possible. I’ll sometimes even watch the Korean news while I sleep. I try to eat the food when I can. I’m extremely passionate about learning the language. I found that when I finally had the opportunity to meet a korean, I had a really hard time speaking to them. Everything was in my head but I didn’t know how to get it out, so I suggest really working on speaking too! This is just me though.
You could also try writing a korean blog. That'll force you to express yourself in Korean, so that's a way to get the stuff out of your head.
I am a Korean writer who introduces Korean books. I'm always watching good videos. Thank you.
항상 감사합니다 선생님 😊✌
I so agree with this.
I started this year studying everyday via app & textbook and I was making great progress! But I noticed I started to get super fatigued and forcing myself to want to study. So I switch things up by turning my netflix language to Korean (This helped alot since I use netflix everyday and I was forced to read in korean when looking for movies and reading descriptions), started listening to Korean podcasts, watching korean news on CZcams, and read children books in Korean. All this reinvigorated my hunger to learn and swept my burn out away!
I completely agree that immersion helps, I started to learn Korean for fun. I then began to listen to kpop to immerse myself. During the school, I don't have much time to self-study Korean but simply looking up lyrics to kpop songs I liked and trying to comprehend the lyrics has helped me understand and learn so much Korean. Of course, I had other sources helping me learn Korean *cough* billy *cough *, and kpop doesn't cover a lot of everyday conversation. However, it has still helped me learn new verbs, nouns, and make me research different grammar structure. My immersion to kpop has significantly helped me learn Korean!
This is why I have my daily korean hour when I am alone😂😂
Talking to myself really increased my pronunciation 😅
Hah
Change my phone language setting to Korean, play only Korean video games, watch only Korean movies and videos, listen to Korean radio while driving
I am living in Korea, and one of my coworkers has been here for 27 years yet doesn't speak but the most basic sentences. I'm getting as much exposure as I can, studying and learning every day.
I'm having a hard time getting a language partner to practice with, so I'm going to at least work on my writing + reading by making daily entries in a diary (even if the post of the day is just "I ate chicken today. It was tasty."). I listen to TV shows on CZcams to get used to listening to the language.
Great advice. I wholeheartedly agree with its where you mind is at that is important. Quality and quantity of exposure goes a really long way. Never letting it feel like it's a becoming a chore just to learn.
Thank you for this video, its so true. The best thing I ever did was change my phone into Korean a year ago and I improved SO MUCH. Since I'm still in high school, and there isn't a Korean community anywhere nearby, I've had to find other ways to immerse myself. I listen to Korean music, follow Korean celebrities, watch dramas, read books, and listen to podcasts all on top of studying, it has really helped my learning progress.
One benefit of living in the country of your target language is the colloquial expressions that you’ll get and the opportunity to use it. This is one of the best parts of learning a language
I watch korean TV shows, listen to kpop watch your videos and chat with Koreans everyday for like 5h or more 🤣❤
KEEP GOING! If you make that a big part of what you see it will stick, as long as you listen carefully, calmly and comfortably you will do what I like to call KINDER LEARNING.
I switched my materials currently learning with you, seemile, ttmik so far kdramas and all I don't regret am motivated
You got the point,I understand much more.Thanks. 👍🌹
I learned English through immersion but I've never been to an English speaking country. I'll try to do the same with Korean now. Let's see if it works again 😊
I love singing Korean children songs and am about to learn some kpop songs as well😄
One of the rare moments you see Billy without his hat.
English is not my first language and in the internet we don't have a lot of material to learn Korean for my native language. Do you think it's bad to learn Korean by English? I'm not fluent yet i'm still learning so i don't know if I will misunderstading some words or will slow down my learning of Korean.
I'm from Brazil and I learn how to read hangul with your videos so, thank you!
No, you can learn it anyway. English is not my first language either. However, learning Korean through it, has also improved both my Korean and English. So don't worry about it too much, it's possible.
Thank you! Now i 'll do my best. My first fear in learning in Portuguese is loss polite of the Korean language.
Absolutely opposite! Those non-native English speakers who are able to read Korean books in English have much more chances to learn Korean faster and better. We do have some good books in Russian, in particular, for students of Korean departments but there is nothing similar to, for example, Korean Grammar in Use, the book which explains most nuances of a certain grammar patern and does it easy. So we, who know English, have benefits, trust me, I compared.
BWT, Mr Billy is highly valued among Russian Korean learners as a great resource in English ㅋ
Thank you so much. This makes me happy again.
Thanks for a great video Billy!
I recently deleted Hellotalk because I never really made friends while learning Korean, but that probably shouldn't be my goal. I already have 2 people to language exchange with and I read webtoons, watch cooking shows etc. I honestly cant understand what they say in like kpop blogs and stuff, think its just because I'm used to hearing the teachers or I don't know the words, but I can understand the cooking show easily. I liked the correction features on Hellotalk so maybe I should go back and record only audio.
Great points, Billy! Once you pass into being conversational, even if just a bit, you can use the language more and be more connected/motivated to learn more/ use it more! You will be happy to know that I am now able to use what I have learned from you and other CZcamsrs to communicate with my coworkers. This has helped me tremendously with making new friends and helping others with English too! Thank you so much for all your hard work!
This might not be that helpful, but for me even changing the settings in my laptop and phone to Korean, has help me a bit because if I see something that I dont know, I look it up and learn something new
What amazes me the most when watching these videos, is the fact that you can write backwards perfectly in Korean and English on the glass :o you are truly a talented man Billy! :)

I wanted to possibly visit Korea, but I'm afraid of going there and not knowing anyone from there if that makes sense (?) I'm really bad at making friends in general and even more when I don't understand the other person's culture or language completely. :(
I went on a tour to Korea and when I told our guide that I was trying to learn Korean he was very keen to get me to read signs and posters and so on. I too am alone and have been to the country on my own several times. It can be difficult without a partner but I was surprised at how helpful people were. In fact, sometimes they were a little too helpful, for example in finding me a seat and so on. The main difficulty is eating as it is unusual for Koreans to eat alone in a restaurant, but one learns to cope.
What are some recommendations for the “usage” aspect of learning? Talking on the phone with Koreans is hard for me, so what other ways can I improve?
I’m trying to exposure myself in Japanese. But how do I know I’m making the effort? How do I know I’m on the right path becoming fluent in whichever language I’m studying?
really helped me ^^
갑사합니다 billy
I try to read write eat smell all that in Korean but I don't get to use words and sentence :( I get bored and get distracted easily but I will never give up!!
I've been living in Korea and trying to immerse myself, but I find it's difficult even here. Whenever I try to have Korean-only conversations with my language exchange friends, they always end up streamrolling me with Korean that's way above my level, and then switch to English after I fail to understand or communicate much of anything. I try giving examples of how I, as an English teacher, will simplify my language to communicate with low level learners, but they still have a really difficult time doing the same thing in Korean. Despite my efforts, we always spend the vast majority of the time speaking English.
I wonder if it would be better if I tried to make friends who don't speak any English at all (although, I'm really not sure how to go about doing that).
How did it go you still learning and feel like you speak better now?
thank you so much 🖤
Brilliant!
I watch k dramas and movies love the historic ones and kpop 😂
I don't know how to make a conversation in Korean, like to korean.
I've learned English and I never ever been abroad 😁
유튜브 자막 업는 동영사를 보면, 한국어를 더 게선할 거예요? 한국인 유튜버가 알아요? 그러면, 무슨 추천해요?
Is it common to get confused with how to place and attach things to words at the right time ? For example, when to use things like: 있는지, 있는, 있을때, 있고, 있음, 배우고, 배우는게, 배우지, etc... (I know this isn't related to the video😓it just oddly reminded me if this, because I struggle a lot with it now than I did before)
It's confusing if you haven't actually learned those forms on their own, but are simply learning them from a list of grammar forms. If you learn those individually, then no, it won't be confusing for you to know when to use each one. I'd recommend going through each one in-depth, one at a time.
@@GoBillyKorean 너무너무 감사합니다~ ㅠㅠ
한국어로 하는 팟캐스트를 좀 추천해주시겠어요?
찾아봤는데 괜찮은 거 없더라고여 ㅠㅅ ㅠ
Where can I find a penpal? I’m getting to the point where I need to practice but there are not many Koreans where I live.
Hellotalk or Tandem app
Actually you can practice without having anyone to talk to if you watch lots of dramas, TV show, vlogs, music, books, magazines, radio, news.(exposure)
Study grammar, write sentences, play with what you learn in your formal studies. (Usage)
SWITCH THINGS UP EVERY NOW AND THEN AND KEEP GOING
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!
Billy explained really well, exposure(80% OF LEARNING +USAGE(20 PERCENT OF THE ENTIRE THING)= THE SECRET TO
LANGUAGE LEARNING is something anyone can do as long as they have a need and drive to learn. I learned English that way, for the most part, and I'd say is the most effective way.
I don't have any penpals or anyone to practice speaking with😭😭
Can confirm, I’m now upper advanced in mandarin thanks to many, many hours of going down the same CZcams algo black holes in Chinese that I would go down in English anyway. You know, when you spontaneously need to learn about rhinos or aliens at 3am. Sometimes 犀牛🦏 facts are just more important than sleep man.
