Learning this kind of stuff helped boost my confidence big time when I started learning Korean (and Japanese). For starters, it helps you get the accent and pronunciation down. Also, it just feels good to know a bunch of words that you can actually use in another language.

[@HazewinDog]

yeah I agree. adding some English loanwords to your vocabulary makes it easier to start off and since English loanwords are very common in Korean, you can usually find some in every bog post or conversation. It's nice to be like, hey I know what they are talking about now! and yes if you practice converting random English words to Korean that can teach you a lot about Korean pronunciation :) can be quite tricky though, I still find myself making mistakes sometimes :D

[@x.astar.x]

Have have just explained my reason I am also learning Korean and Japanese in Korean i can read it it's just the speaking I need to know I can speak little and Japanese wise I have learned half of hiragana and have not yet learned katagana or Kanji I'm taking a pause on Japanese to focus more on my korean!!

Have I.....?? *GASPPPPPPPPP Ariana is arrrrrianna Grrrandeau It’s the same as my language wowowowowowowow

[@stepoutskz]

Now I understand North Koreans when they need to learn Southern accent. This is very difficult to pronunce but I know this is konglish but yeah...if there are native Korean words for those konglish words I will prefer to say the native one

[@michaelaoren7058]

Is it weird that these konglish words are harder for me to pronounce? Especially in a Korean sentence with proper grammar.

[@jocelyncurrie2334]

Yea it's almost harder for me too, I think at least for me, it's because I want to speak it the way I know how to

[@olahiannyeong6021]

uhm guys could you please teach us how to say "even though" in korean ? 🌸 thanks a million 🌸💙

[@pambeesly4426]

These just sound like a cuter version of English. Imagine everyone talking like this uwuwuwu

[@marniluvsstrawberries]

Chim Jiminie they do talk like this tho

[@arichanson5907]

Thanks so much! As a beginner this is the most helpful in seeing the hangul and hearing it in a word i'm familiar with.

[@user-elliseuji]

as a francophone i have to add: a whole bunch of those words are actually from french! just so you know

[@shirine310]

Elyse G.엘리스 지 C’est exactement ce que je me disais !

[@nezumi8207]

Elyse G.엘리스 지 Tellement hahaha 😂

[@barsadal1738]

Exactly! That's why 레스토랑 has ㅇ in it, because of the nasal A sound in French "restaurant"

[@mickeysingh4702]

EXACTLY!!! YAYYY SOMEONEEE!!!

[@seanjordan850]

Yes, but they came to Korea through English

[@MorphSenior]

Can anyone explain why 업로드 is pronounced like 엄 노 드 ?

[@AshleyKaulitz007]

Special rule: when ㅂ meets ㄹ, ㅂ becomes ㅁ and ㄹ becomes ㄴ.

[@MorphSenior]

@@AshleyKaulitz007 감사합니다 ! I find it weird that they wouldn't have chosen a hangulization that reflected the English pronunciation, since Korean seems to have pretty standard rules for adopting English loanwords. I'm surprised it isn't 어프로드 or something.

[@AKADriver]

I bet it's because "upload" was borrowed as if it was two words (since a lot of people were already familiar with "up" by itself) and then mashed back together. You see the same thing with English compound words that are "hot-"something, because "hot" gets rendered as 핫 rather than 하트.

[@AshleyKaulitz007]

John Smith - You're welcome :) AKADriver - I agree. That's most likely the reason.

[@XxStranger]

Its a sound rule!♡

[@kummonyeomso6912]

Isnt this really just Konglish ? Oh , also restaurant and lingerie are French.

[@justanotherfangirl6360]

Kummon Yeomso not really because everyone uses them and they are even in the official dictionary You wont find health or aparteu in the dictionary but the ones here

[@AKADriver]

This list is leaving out the words that are English in origin but have different meanings in Korean, like 원피스, 헬스, 파이팅, etc. I was surprised to see 서비스 since it's so often used to mean "on the house" rather than service.

[@kalisticmodiani2613]

Konglish can also mean badly translated English. Here there's no pretense of speaking English, you're speaking Korean but with words that sound like the English ones. When you say "I enjoy the cuisine at that restaurant" it's not Frenglish even though the words come from French.

[@x.astar.x]

Lol konglish

[@supechube_k]

the reason restaurant is 레스토랑 and not 레스토란트 is bcz it comes from french and not english

[@Resonance1919]

what the heck is the music at 5:01 and why is it soo familiar? It sounds like fleetwood mac or something am i crazy?

[@elephantkeychain]

Hahaha it does sound like Fleetwood Mac's Dream.. maybe it is.

[@gigijenner5932]

Sounds like the start of some polish song I know

[@danijeld8669]

Seems that only 업로드, out of these, has a sound change when pronounced.. 홈 시어터 is much different from the "original"

[@HazewinDog]

idk most are pretty easy to recognize lol

[@AshleyKaulitz007]

There are special rules you'll have to learn. Like when ㅂ meets ㄹ, ㅂ becomes ㅁ and ㄹ becomes ㄴ. And "th" doesn't exist in Korean so they replaced it with "sh".

[@danijeld8669]

@HazewinDog ~ Yeah, I agree! No objections to that. haha I mentioned 시어터 only, since I would have expected it might be 티어터 rather than 시어터

[@danijeld8669]

@Ashley Thanks!! I've figured out it has to do with ㄹ. It crossed my mind that among all these 'foreign' words 업로드 is the only, if I didn't miss any, that has such change

[@teerich2011]

If there's a native Korean word, I'd rather learn it. Sadly Korean is getting more Euro and Anglicized

[@빈젠조]

Koreans don't like to be complicated with their shit too much like Chinese tho that's why alot of word they just saying it but in Korean accent if you want real native shit I recommended Chinese class for you instead Korean TBH ^^

[@sakuravoyage]

This is really useful, thanks! How are the words ordered in this video - by frequency of use or just randomly?

[@alyssabiondo124]

This was super helpful, however what the heck is “man hole”?! Lol 😂

[@MorphSenior]

Also does anyone have a list of these in text form that I could load into memrise/Anki/Quizlet ?

[@brandon3872]

When ordering food, do you use Sino Korean or native Korean numbers to describe how many portions you would like?

[@jocelyncurrie2334]

That's a good question, I wish they would make a video describing more differences between situations

[@brandon3872]

@@jocelyncurrie2334 Yes, I've watched videos about it before and one person said only use sino Korean numbers and someone else said only use native Korean numbers when ordering food 😅

[@meowBlitz]

I think native

'악세서리'가 아니라 '액세서리'가 표준어입니다.:)

[@TheCrazyMiss]

Can we not say both ?

[@christine3566]

@@TheCrazyMiss Korean people usually pronunce like '악세서리' but the standard notation is '액세서리'. So when you write the word, '액세서리' is right one. :)

[@TheCrazyMiss]

@이성민 Why are you here if you are Korean ? 😂

[@sjy2830]

악세서리 = 액셔서리 = 액세서리= 악세사리 =....... all possible

[@bantillosophiachloer.4320]

komawa

[@coolbrotherf127]

I'm kind of surprised that certain words like "idea" and "chef" use the English loan word. I would have thought they had native words for those kinds of things long before they were influenced by Western culture.

[@danijeld8669]

One Korean guy kept telling me he likes "Arrow movies" and I said "Arrow movies? I don't know what that is." He said, "You know, the sexy movies, Arrow movies. Arrow is English!" I couldn't understand... can someone explain?

[@clubemerald]

Sorry to necro this post, but I couldn't help but reply since no one has. He was likely saying "ero" movies as in short for "erotic" movies.
