wait what, the first girl said she learned the basic grammar and 'basic' 5-10 thousand words in one week..? i mean her accent is pretty perfect so maybe she really is just a genius...
Some people just get it.
No, she just got it to learning Korean soundly
I think she simplified it a bit too much to keep the answer short for the camera. It sounds like she crammed the alphabet first, then crammed grammar for a week, and then focused on the most common words (but she doesn't say how long or how). It would be interesting if she gave a detailed how to video while explaining more what she actually did. I doubt she learned all the grammar in a week but rather after cramming it for a week she started immersing probably while keeping an eye out for the most common words. But she's a natural at this and often it's hard for people like that to break it down for us mortals.
Grammar in a week is definitely not what happened, I think she's trying to simplify the answer.
I was already watching variety shows and I started studying korean when I already understood some stuff without subtitles so it wasn’t completely new to me but I didn’t know how to read or write or grammar or even common words so I started with Hangeul and it was so much easier than it looked and then for one week I was learning common words (just googled 10000 common korean words and there was a page that led me to TOPIK study materials which had elementary intermediate and advanced word documents) and I recognized many words so I tried incorporating grammar right away. The whole thing took me around a week (+2 days maybe not exactly a week week) but trust me I have crazy episodes like that sometimes 😅 I get hooked up on something so much that I basically don’t care about anything else… that happened with korean and during that one week I got completely possessed, skipped school, didn’t sleep, sticky notes all over the house, mumbling to myself 😅 my mum had to skip work and forcefully feed me cos i didn’t even eat and she thought I was crazy (fair enough) 🤣🤣 worked out well in the end but I feel like I was possessed for a week lol 🤣🤣🤣 obviously you can’t learn the whole language in one week but with korean it’s possible to get the right foundation and then you can build up on that ^^ after that I started a job at a Korean travel agency and was lucky enough to practice my skills irl so I guess luck played a big part too 😵💫 I have a video about this on my channel so you can check it out for all the details and tips 🥰
The first girl is impressing. Her korean is so good.
Impressive
She's well known youtuber in korea and very famous for a top tier korean speaking foreigner.
@@alphafann whats her Name?
Also keep in mind she’s been living there for three years and she’s very smart too. Combine the two and kaboom! Fluent Korean
My boy fits be on point 👌🏾
Underrated comment. The fits are immaculate.
except the durag tbh, that ruined the fit but everything else is fire bro
@@xrazzr1 hmmmm now I wonder why would you say that...
Unfathomable drip
Absolutely not the durag is fire@@xrazzr1
I love the tone of the interviewer's voice! So calm and soothing!
Ayee that’s me lol 🤣 this was so much fun 💖 hope the tips help 🥰
You really sounded very fluent Lali. I think you looked cool too.
You are amazing 🎉
You're a genious!
you're really fluent😭 진짜 대박
한국인이 들어도 정말 잘 하시네요. 학생들 가르치셔도 되겠네요 ㅎㅎ
It's impressive how some learn another language so quickly
I'm impressed by people who keep studying after 10 years while still being upper beginner. Why not give up already? Now that's persistence!
@@paulwalther5237You're talking about my Spanish, except it's been 50 years! Still it's helps when I visit Mexico or Colombia.
@@paulwalther5237that’s me but with Japanese, for me there’s no point in ever fully giving up. I’ve given up about 4 times but I always would come back.
korean is not hard, frech is harder
@@klemenkovacic9109korean is harder, imo.
Lila's intonation and pronunciation sounds by far the most natural. Super impressive! I feel like at that rate she could sound completely native in the near future. 진짜 멋져요! 🫶🏻
She sounds native to me already...so cool
@@gladysray8824 I'm highly sensitive to sound sensory, so her pronunciation is not 100% there for me yet (more like 96%). Small example, when she said "배우고 싶었는데" the 싶었" didn't sound completely 100% native to me. I would be able to tell she's not native if someone had me purely listen to her and she didn't reveal she was from Georgia.
But I am curious what my family and friends will think. I'll show this to them.^^ She's absolutely amazing though no doubt. I mean, topik level 6 proves her proficiency...I'm just saying there are parts of her Korean where the pronunciation didn't sound completely native to me.
@gladysray8824 I'm korean and I do find her pronunciation phenomenal but I can tell some traces in her speech that indicate she didn't grow up here in korea.
So I did go out of my way to ask my friends and family and they all said her Korean is amazing but they can tell she's not native because they can still hear her foreign accent a little bit. But again, I'm sure over time she will sound more and more native...she can only really improve from here. I truly applaud her! 👏🏻🤍
@@bl00dFairycan you point out the difference between her “싶었는데“ and a native’s one?
Your video is good.
First woman is very fluent!
Thank you! ^^
Wow, that blonde woman seems to have an easy time remembering and grasping new languages if it was really that quick for her. Amazing!
Korean is a beautiful language❤
The du-rag peacoat combo 👏🏾👏🏾🖤🖤
In order to speak fluent Korean, the best way is to practice.
I know
No shit Sherlock! 😅
wait, but I thought I could wake up and be fluent in any language I wanted?
Big thank to u mr.obvious
It's crazy to me that some people's speaking skills and writing, reading and listening skills can be so different. Like that girl from Germany said she was a topik level 6 but if I just listen to her when she's speaking she sounds like a level 3 to me. I think it's cause the speaking skill doesn't really actively get developed from studying writing, reading and listening so speaking is something you have to develop seperately by going out and speaking every day.
Hi, I'm that girl from Germany 😂 I wanted to clarify that my speaking skills are better in real life, I was just really nervous (this was my first time doing an interview) 😅 and yes, I agree, you have to study speaking separately in order to develop your speaking skills.
@@alenatavukcuoglu4029 Hi! Hope you didn't take any offense, I wasn't trying to be rude. And it's definitely not just you, generally I've seen a lot of people get a high topik score and then not being able to speak at the same level which always amazes me in that way that some skills are very seperately developed, but I guess that's also why there's a seperate topik for speaking. But yes, I can definitely understand being nervous while being put on the spot like that, I can relate from all the speaking exams I had to go through in language school haha 😆
@@alenatavukcuoglu4029I'm korean and your korean was flawless in terms of grammar and expressions. I think you're at a good level. I hope you keep up your study!! 파이팅!!
@@MichelleLeeSWEKRno worries! I understand what you mean and I agree with you 😊 learning a language means dedication - the studying never ends 🥲😂
Kannst du vielleicht mehr darüber erzählen wie du umgezogen bist und wie es mir den Kosten ist bei dem Sprachinstitut? Bist du Studentin und angemeldet an einer deutschen Uni? Ich beende gerade meinen Bachelor in einem anderen Fach würde aber gerne koreanisch lernen und dort für kurze Zeit hinziehen vll
Oh oh oh I don't need this to stress me out!!!! They are so perfect!!! ❤
I started loving Korea after watching KDrama Hwarang Warrior Poet I love the Korean language it sounds sing song 🎵 and beautiful to me so I recently started learning Korean on Duo lingo it's fun I hope to be fluent in Korean just like the people in this video ❤
be careful of learning Korean with Duolingo, whereas it's quite good resource to learn other languages, asian and arabic languages are kinda ridiculous there.
I second this. I am quite far in the duolingo Korean course and can really only recommend it for learning Hangul. There are a bunch of free YT channels that are much much better for learning practical speaking and writing skills. Best of luck!!
Try LingoDeer instead.
it would be really helpful if you included korean subtitles too while korean is being spoken, but if thats a lot of trouble i get it!!
First girls' pronunciation is perfect; slight accent but she does not mess up on any words. Second girl speaks like a native; she does stumble on some words but her intonation is just like a native South Korean girl.
I have a tutor and I self study. I never would have gotten as good as I am without my tutor!
Thanks for the video, this was really inspiring to keep studying!
I'm learning Korean because I am heavily interested in visiting the country. My goal is to be able to read and hold a conversation in Korean by the time I book a flight. So glad I found your channel!
Same
화이팅~
😅😅😅😂😂😂
20 minutes for the alphabet lol and I'm here forgetting every letter after 2 minutes
Fr me too 😂
holy s**t all of them speak perfect Korean with perfect accent. I'm Korean and they speak better than me. just wow.
The 1st lady had flawless accent. The rest I can easily tell they sounded like a foreigner speaking.
This video is seriously motivating for Korean learners. 😄Their tips are top-notch and worth remembering. Keep pushing forward, all you Korean learners! Your hard work will pay off!
I've watched a lot of Kdramas and haven't learned anything. I'm impressed by anyone who can learn it that way
Sana from twice says variety shows are better than dramas for learning 🎉
Wow! I'm impressed!
I’m so impressed with the interviewer and the interviewees. Fluency in multiple languages breeds trust and fosters the spirit of oneness IMO. Communication and understanding are key to a harmonious society and they’re great examples of this.
You all sound so perfect and I can only wish one day I can speak half as good as any of you 🙏
the first lady’s accent is insane! She sounds like native Korean. even with meaningless filling word. Really amazing omg
Amazing ! I wanna be like them, being fluent in Korean ! 👍👍💪💪🔥🔥
When i see those experience about learning a new language i feel so excited and out of my mind. Just the fact to see how dificult languages foreigners like german or ucraine people learn such a difficult language is a huge prove that everything you put on your mind is reachable. Actually im learning Japanese, i wish i can be fluent in few months such as them. jajja Im doing my best. With my 34 on my ribs, if i get it, i might consider to start another one after. jajja Cheers
my advice as long as you do enough reading and listening practice youll do good
notice how no one said duolingo 🤡
Wait, is that not useful? I just downloaded the app...
@@vu4677 its good for getting used to the alphabet, you can learn it pretty quickly using it but for the rest...eh. It gets really repetitive without actually progressing much in terms of the things they make you write and say. The phrases they teach you are also hella random instead of something actually conversational useful.
@@Cajun_Seasoning Good to know, thanks!
drop duolingo asap if you want to seriously study lol @@vu4677
I've been using it and it's giving me sentences like "the fox's cucumber" 😭 no use at all I might need to use something else
im currently learning korean at my college and might get to do a travel abroad program this summer which would be really helpful in daily speaking, since in class we only have 45 minutes of actual class practice and the rest we do self paced study.
As an Italian who lives in Sweden trying to learn Korean this was so useful❤ thanks
Eu acho lindo, porque quando falam ate a voz muda, a entonação, as interjeições. 😊 Acho muito lindo!
My bf is Korean and I want to learn so I can speak to his family when I visit. Very motivating
ah, I really want to learn Korean. And I strive for this.
할수있어용~
its so interesting how being able to speak fluent korean you cant even tell the difference if you didnt see the person! the way it makes a persons entire voice sound , almost different pitch and all is intriguing!
Yeah... Some people say I sound like a native.
My two best friends are from South Korean so I became really interested in the language right away. I speak Spanish as well and I did notice that the pronunciation of Spanish vowels and Korean vowels are exactly the same, same with the pronunciation of some consonants. I started learning Korean couple months ago on my own through k-dramas and now I can pick up to 30 % of the conversation without reading the subtitles. Korean is a language that is pretty straightforward. So… to my Spanish speaking people, if you can learn Korean from a Spanish speaking person do so, because you will pick it up in a blink. Best of luck!💜
I’m currently learning English and I want to be fluent and speak without accent,but it’s very difficult to get a good understanding of the pronunciation.These women are perfect at speaking Korean!
It's amazing by how good Lila's pronunciation is...
The real question though is how is Jerry not cold wearing a thing jacket and shirt 😅
oh such goals 😭
아니 인터뷰 진행하시는 분 패션 스타일 너무 멋지다...
Impressive Korean my omg People's English skills always amaze me.
Best video
EARLY?? he’s drippy as always.
first 2 women were super good... almost as good as me (korean american)
Hey I’m learning korean I’m really really a beginner would you like to help me

Great video. Thank you.
I can finally say that korean language is harder than Nihongo even though it's fewer in characters the B/P and K/G L/R and many more is so hard and confusing while Nihongo is straght up and you'll learn something new everyday with each word design for their alphabet and you'll learn the alhapet through words without worrying about roman characters
I think Korean is such a pretty language, currently learning it.
Imagine having a conversation where you both say you were from Georgia, where one is from the country of Georgia and another is from the state of Georgia.
At first, I wasn’t listening properly. I thought she meant she was from the state of Georgia in the United States. I was so confused and kept listening to her ENGLISH accent! She doesn’t sound like she is from the southern U.S at all! Of course, anything is possible with people born in America so you don’t have to grow up with a regional accent! 🤣 My mistake! She sounds great in both English and Korean! 😃
well honestly even if she actually is from Georgia (the country) she either studied in an international school back there or spent half of her life abroad. she most certainly doesn’t have the typical ‘georgian’ accent while speaking english, it’s actually rather hard to get rid of, and I’m saying that as a russian myself. or again maybe she is just extremely intelligent and can grasp languages easily, considering her Korean pronunciation is damn near native according to comments. girl is a genius
I love your channel. You're a great interviewer. Thank you for All time
I'm curious how did Jerry, the host, learn Korean himself? Jerry did you study on your own, take classes, a combination of the two? You speak Korean very well.
yeah I'm wondering too I saw him in a video eating chicken with a CZcamsr it was 11 months ago and he needed translating now he's talking well
@@gametri-eq6lj wait what fr?
@@tsuyuasui7297 yeah well I'ma look for the video
this man is very handsome.
YAA.
Mr Italy, say ‘likee’ one more time
Can we also appreciate that these people were also talking in English and not their native tongue? Very impressive. 👏
2:06 the way her hair got blown away when she laughed 😂
No one should be skipping on the 2nd girl! She was great!!!
I just left a comment saying I want to study Korean and I get this video yayyyy,
Korean girls don't look like they're haters towards foreigners, ok I will dedicate 18 minutes a day to my Korean studies for the next year.
I speak French and creole already and wanted to pick up another language so badly and Korean seems to be it because of moon the Rapper, she's Vietnamese and African she's beautiful.
Have a beautiful and blessed 2024 everyone let keep striving to be better and happier people 🧘🏾♀️🙏🏾💗.
2:17 i love seeing thiss
2:57 ❤❤
Respect to the Korean people 🫡💯🧘🏾♀️🙏🏾💗.
Which creole do you speak?
@@PichpoGUA Haitian 🇭🇹
As a half Korean, I have to admit that Korean people in general don’t pay any mind to foreigners and are not willing to make them feel comfortable or help them in a multitude of situations. The ones that are really nice to foreigners are kind of rare and extreme gems. I wish you luck in learning Korean though. I’m also studying it too 😊
@@jigglypuddin1345 thanks you for this comment I'll take everything you said into account I appreciate it, well at least we will be foreigners that might find each other in a strange Land one day coincidences happen weirdly, and we might be nice to each other speaking Korean, good luck on your journeys and travels be safe blessings to you and your family amazing 2024 👑🫡🧘🏾♀️🙏🏾💖.
As a Korean Lali sounds perfect
I love Running Man ❤
can you make a video about foreign doctors in Korea and how to become a doctor there?

Fun
Lali is impressive 😮
After getting addicted to all Korean dramas I agree the Korean language is pretty. I am trying to learn it so I don’t have to read the subtitles. I don’t agree with the Korean alphabet being easy. But I just started like a couple days ago. But darn it I’m determined to
it’s super easy compared to like Japanese or Chinese alphabet! you got this!
Miss Vicky's Learn Hangul 한글 (Korean Alphabet) in 30 minutes video is amazing when memorizing and understanding the structure of the consonants and vowels.
I have a TOPIK test soon and CZcams is recomending me this stuff now lol
0:22 omg this first girl is Georgian🇬🇪(country ). She is so beautiful And also so good in Korean language.
she even laughs in korean "hhh" at 2:06 lol
❤😊😊❤😊❤
Damn the 2nd girl speaks real good korean
She's good but I noticed she did some basic grammar mistakes while speaking, I think her pronunciation is really good though!
@HedstromMichelle I'm a korean native speaker but I couldn't notice her mistakes 😂.
@@user-jp5wd2me1f Lmao, well maybe not "mistake mistake" but things that I would've changed to make it sound more natural. But yeah, my bf is Korean and sometimes I have to correct him on basic grammar cause he never studied Korean like we foreigners do and therefore go on feeling rather than grammatical correctness 😂
Because her bf/husband is Korean, I’ve seen her on ig
@@ABAddonfromHeLL what is her account?
My friend Alena is there 😍❤️🥰
I'm 13 and I just started learning in Korean a month ago. And my goal is to go there on a scholarship and learn there. I really hope I could achieve my goal.
I'm rooting for you!
Thanks!
Where are you now
I also learned the korean alphabet in 20 minutes! But I've been dragging the learning for a few years
That was me. It took me 10 minutes for the alphabet. Then I was on/off with learning for a few years. Now I'm at a fluent level though.
I wanna self-teach myself eventually, or take a course.
Self-teaching is a lot of fun but you must keep momentum.
한국인인 저보다 한국어를 잘하시네요... 와우
arey vai .. I am so excited to go there..but yee kya bat kartaa hey tuu
Oh I know that girl lol😂
It's really nice to see people from Ukraine participate in such videos.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩
I've been trying to learn on an off since 2013 😂 I'm not as good as these people.
It was funny how the lady from Germany said the korean grammar is hardest. I am from Czechia and for me the grammar is much easier and cleaner than in english. I think korean is very easy to learn for czech speakers because we have similar grammar in some points. Kudos to those people, your level of korean is so impressive. I hope some day I will be there too!
SIX FOOT NINE????
And bro said "relationship" in quotes - makes it sound like he moved to Korea for a situationship loll
The first girl said she learnt Korean alphabet in 20 minutes. And I'm still here struggling 😔.
you can learn the alphabet in twenty minutes but you’d definitely be unable to memorize it so i wouldn’t worry about that too much.
@@RoseMari888 hi I am here from the future😂. I memorized the alphabet very well. Now I'm struggling with learning words and sentences 😂.
I would love to learn. The pronunciation seems really difficult. Looking for an app
Wait a minute! That Ukrainian girl reminds me of a girl I've met at my Korean courses
...The first woman learned and memorised the alphabet in 20 mins............ It's been like a week I'm practicing it and I still forget and mix up some letters 💀💀 I'm feeling so hopeless ; I'm starting to think that becoming fluent in Korean is only achievable by people naturally very good at learning languages in general... And I'm not one of them :(
keep trying until you want to give up then try again and again 💪💪👏🏽
@@maryiahcarter9439 I try not to give up but sometimes it’s not easy 🥲
It took me 10 mins to memorise the alphabet. Some languages just come more naturally to certain people. Don't give up!
@@saffire_fleur Probably yes! My native language is very far from Korean so maybe it doesn’t help, plus I’ve never been good at learning any language at school etc… But I won’t give up, I try to chat with native speakers everyday and it helps

If you want to progress in Korean you already need the basics. yes it is true that if you do not have more than 500 words or even 1000 words of vocabulary at the beginning you will not be able to speak in Korean and you need to learn the basic grammar. you also need to be able to keep a diary and write your own dialogues which will allow you to be able to hold a dialogue in Korean and you must rehearse every day which will allow you to be comfortable with the language. This is only the beginning because as you see in the Korean language there are also different levels of politeness. This will cause you some problems even if you already know the basics because you need to know the verb forms. And also be able to construct complex sentences this is the next level. With all this you will have difficulty even holding a dialogue. So, I advise you to have someone who speaks Korean with whom you can make progress in the language and above all be able to speak and practice pronunciation so as not to say stupid things.
한국말 잘하네
I use Ebooks and listen to kpop and watch kdrama
I've been studying it for a while and I am the slowest learner 😢
Don't feel that way they are just exaggerating the progress they busted their ass for a couple years to learn
@@mertterzioglu9843They aren't... Some people pick up things faster.
So many Germans hehe. so cool. i'm studying by myself too ^^ and yes don't pressure yourself!
Pretty much everyone said youtube, then talking to people, watching k-dramas/tiktok and learning the alphabet.
I wonder his history of learning and speaking languages
I recently admitted into an Academy to learn ' elementary level' korean and lets see how much my brain will be able to memories everything 😭😂😳
I'm Korean, and the first woman speaks just perfectly, if I cover her face, I would think she sounds Korean.
