You are a GREAT teacher. Your students must love just hanging with you, because you are so warm and open with them, encouraging self expression and acceptance. What a great example! I enjoy watching your vids.
I agree China and Japan does have more of a reputation. It seems everyone knows how to say hello in Chinese or Japanese, but haven't been exposed to Korean much. I've loved Asian and African cultures ever since i was a child. Particularly, Chinese culture, i later wanted to learn Thai and Punjabi, but i didn't have the resources to learn those languages. When i did finally have resources come about i chose to learn Korean. Also, about your dreads, i think there is a way to remove them without cutting them off. I think they're youtube vids about it.
It seems like your students don't necessarily hate K-pop, but more so hate that it is one of the few or even the only things that comes to mind when others (that are not very knowledgeable about the country) think of; which is pretty understandable. If I were Korean and proud of my rich history and culture, I would be kind of annoyed that pretty boys in shiny clothes and eyeliner were representing my country. (Even though I personally think pretty boys in shiny clothes and eyeliner are great).
I live in an area where there is a high Korean population, which sparked my interest in korean culture. This series of videos was really great and very insightful considering you don't really get to hear what students have to say a lot of the time. I've really been interested in teaching there after I graduate and your videos have been really informing. Thanks!
That was really cute! Its nice to see you interacting with your students! :) I hope to see more of you just talking with others and sharing positive vibes.
:D I told myself I was going to sleep but then I started watching your videos and it was just back to back :) ahh this is why I love CZcams, I get to find out about interesting people and I get to learn new things :) your personality is just amazing as well :)
I love that you are doing these videos. Please show some other Korean music genres, I only see and hear k-pop and would love to know about different ones. keep up the great work and much success in your future!!
Their answers and questions were so sweet. :) Watching your videos, I always envy how you are with your students. Haha. My dream in to teach English in Korea, but i'm always a little more inspired watching your videos! :)
If he comes to Chicago, tell him to visit Albany Park. The natives refer to it as "Little Seoul". Very good food. Chicago can be very dangerous in some areas, but some of us (including myself) would love for you visit and will consider you as a friend.Also to answer the question about the biggest difference between U.S and Korea is sense of community. Most Koreans refer to their neighbors as brother, sister, uncle, or aunt. We just refer to our neighbors as neighbors. We also tend to be independent of one another, whereas Korean communities tend to look out for one another more.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! The closed captions at 5:53. The Korean guy says he wants to major in economy, and the translation says: "Oh wow I want to meet your mommy." DEAD.
Busan, South Korea Wow .... I live in Seoul but my Korean sucks because I moved to Korea out of no where and now have to study like crazy to keep up ... but hope you have a safe and great stay/trip/visit ^^
When the students were asked what their plans for the future were, their responses were very thoughtful. Like, never in a million years, would I be able to do something like build my own hospital. That is a trait I really admire about Koreans.
When I told my family and friends that I would be teaching in S. Korea, I got the same reaction. The first things is always "WHAT ABOUT N. KOREA!!???" or my fave "WHAT ABOUT THAT KIM JONG WHATEVER HIS NAME IS???!!!!" lol. I'm leaving in Feb. and have explained the situation many times but still get the same responses. I find it funny nowadays though. They are just concerned.
Hi wilkine, i'm 16 african american and i was wondering....i really want to go to korea/japan and finish my high school years and i was wondering if that'd be possible at all. my family are lower middle class so i wouldn't be able afford any of the international boarding schools that are predominant in those countries. would it be possible for me to go to a regular korean/japanese highschool not being able to speak korean at all, i just really want to experience the culture hands first...i just really need a change from the united states please get back to me as soon as possible. thanks!
Bro....can u help me where i can do dreadlocks in korea....i m also foreigner here and i think u know how hard it is to find places for foreigners....so please can you help me out if u know places.
I was born in the uk and I speak fluent English but some of the words u said, I didn't even understand myself , man can u keep the level down to a minimum, speaking posh is ur thing?
+siham mohamed Is speaking posh my thing? I'm an American. Clearly my students, at the time, had no qualms about understanding what I was talking about. And no other comments in the comment section, throughout this entire 4-part series, expressed any concerns about the volume or the way I've articulated my points. What exactly is your concern?
siham mohamed If you're a fluent English speaker, how did you not understand what I was talking about? It's a 4-part interview series with students who had no problems at all. What exactly did you not understand?
siham mohamed Then perhaps you should take some of the vocabulary you've heard in the videos, write them down, explore the definitions, and try to apply them. Avoid having slang as your primary use of communication. I hope that helps.

what is the best way of learning korean
I was born in the uk and I speak fluent English but some of the words u said, I didn't even understand myself , man can u keep the level down to a minimum, speaking posh is ur thing?

Nothing but I just thought what you was saying might be difficult to understand because me a fluent English speaker couldn't
siham mohamed If you're a fluent English speaker, how did you not understand what I was talking about? It's a 4-part interview series with students who had no problems at all. What exactly did you not understand?
Just some words, idk maybe coz I'm 15 and I speak slang most of the time
