A really long Korean sentence

Here's a super long Korean sentence that Hyunwoo wrote for your reading practice. How much of it do you understand? And how long can you make your Korean sentences to be? Let's practice together through this video.
집에서 창밖을 보니까 날씨가 좋아 보여서 공원에 가서 산책을 하려고 나갔는데, 생각보다 추워서 어디 따뜻한 곳에 가야겠다고 생각하고 카페에 들어가 보니 사람이 너무 많고 앉을 자리가 없어서 그냥 나오려고 문 쪽으로 걸어가는 순간에 자리가 생겨서 그 자리에 앉아서 커피를 마시면서 재미있는 유튜브 비디오를 몇 개 보다가 집에 왔어요.

[@carolinaprado-rico5628]

Same. At the beginning I understood way more than I thought but somethings were a bit unclear. Once he broke it up it became clear. I just wish I could speak as much as I understand when I'm listening or reading😭😭😭.

[@amarantisima]

I am in a point of my learning process that I understand words separately but when paired with particles and conjugation I am just so lost T.T Any advice on that?

Don't worry for now and just more reading practice : ) You will get better for sure!

[@jamiebuechel]

I’ve been studying TTMIK almost daily for a year and got about 50% of that sentence the first time around. I swear I thought after a year I’d be fluent, which is comical. To everyone totally lost, don’t lose hope! Even when you don’t feel like you’re making progress, I promise you are.

[@PinayAjumma]

thank you for this word, I live here in Korea for 2years , and keep on studying since I arrived here. but still making sentence or speaking still very hard for me. im so lost ,

[@uyuya]

i started learning korean in july-august of 2018, i was learning through ttmik, books, dramas, songs, and honestly i did big upgrade, even tho at the beginning i was thinking i'm not making a progress. i remember when i saw my first korean show, it was "주간 아이돌" i was thinking "how can people understand that???", but now i understand basic level ?? and i'm really happy about that. i understood 70% from the video, and also reading is not that hard for me, because i'm practing more in reading now. i can't say i am really good, i want to be more fluent now..

[@hadassah6563]

We are about the same level, then. I've been doing it for a year too

[@keana172]

dude me too, its been two years for me

[@staceyt7337]

Jamie Buechel I started exactly a year ago and I understood the main point but not the whole sentence which I thought I’d be a lot further too. This just motivates me to start working on sentences instead of just individual words, which is all I understood. But progress is progress no matter how little.

[@itsmebri1645]

When he said “hello bird”.... I felt that

[@ashkoreations3472]

I absolutely love this and would love if you did more of this. It can help so much. Sentence building is always mine and many other korean learners struggle i know for sure.

[@soorin6423]

맞아요😊😊

[@TheDorkyDorcas97]

this was really cool! in the beginning, when I tried to understand the sentence I understood 20% of the sentence and read it slower but at the end of the sentence I was able to read it out loud, a bit faster and understood it 100% i feel like this would be a really good way for me to learn new linking words and how they are different in different contexts

[@adngbsn]

I like this style of video, definitely make some more! :) edit - is that reading speed at the very end normal lmao, that was just like *drrdrrrrdrrrrdrrrrr 서drrrrdrrdrrrdrrrr서drrrrrrrrrrrrrdrrrrrr서rdddddddddrrrrrrrrdr서drrrr서drrrrrdrd서drrrrrrrd서drdrdr*

[@borrowedtongue]

[@Jennie-mw2cl]

When he said a long sentence, I wasn't expecting a paragraph. Wow! This video gave me a better understanding of how more elaborate thoughts are constructed. I may not be at this level yet, but it's still very useful. I'll have to rewatch again when I'm further along in my studies.

[@lety396]

i love this format! also kudos for hyunwoo's lungs lol

[@kieranshae]

Individually, I know almost all of the words. And when he broke it down I could follow. But when he reads it normal speed it's too fast for me.

[@lateshatorres8467]

That was hard but I still enjoyed it. I’m going to save it so I can come back when I’m further in my lessons so I can say “oh yeah that’s easy”😆

[@mariaangeltabordaalvarez5580]

[@n4musica]

The fact that I listened to this sentence and understood 80% of the words and 100% of the content makes me so excited!!!

[@mareemaree5091]

This started out really scary, but as you went over each clause, I could follow well and understand the grammar. Thanks! This was fun!

[@deorojeu]

I'm an intermediate learner and can understand long sentences right away- as long as I'm reading it. Listening really hits different... Same with English, which I speak natively. I can't even watch English shows without subtitles because I can't comprehend long words and sentences when they're spoken. Even with practice it's hard for me because I'm a slow person, fast-paced stuff sends me into a panic and in the moment I end up forgetting everything I've learned. I honestly don't know how people do it. It's hard because I love to study languages but I can't understand any of them

[@stefamii]

I suggest listening to sentences at a slow pace at first and then eventually working up to a higher level when you feel comfortable. Also, make it a habit to practice everyday and don't get discouraged when you feel you may not be improving as much as you want. I think when you pick out the words that you can actually understand in a sentence, you will realize that you aren't doing that bad. Or, maybe you have the habit of relying on subtitles since you feel so discouraged, which doesn't help you in the long run. I don't know, these are just some of my suggestjons. You may have already tried everything I suggested, but either way, don't give up because I'm sure that you'll improve with time, even if it's slower than others.

[@deorojeu]

@@stefamii Thank you for your suggestions. I used to watch k-dramas without subtitles every now and then to practice but I don't know why I quit... I'll try that again to see if I can get any better. It's weird because I can understand Korean much easier when it's spoken to me directly, but not as much when it's recorded.

[@jasminee204]

@@deorojeu have you tried re-watching a show you might have already watched with English subtitles in Korean? I found that helped me a lot as I was already familiar with what kinds of topics they covered. Also, k-dramas aren't all that realistic in language (at least imo). I would recommend variety shows!
