Real Korean Conversation | Listening Practice Ep. 1: Coffee

Had a blast catching up with my friend over coffee... how much of our Korean conversation can you understand?
For Practice Listening episodes, I will show you the same conversation 3 times.
Part 1: There will be no subtitles. 100% listening only.
Part 2: I add Korean subs only, so try to figure out the meaning using Korean.
Part 3: I add Korean and English subs.

I understood 커피. 😁👍🏽🤭 I'm happy. Time to learn more.

How long does it take to know Korean?

This is like an assessment of how much I understand Korean. Although I can read, listening is difficult for me. Thank you. I picked up new words

[@Niena97]

And I thought I was ready for a basic conversation but after watching this video I realised I need to work on my conversation speed and my listening!

[@Niena97]

After rewatching the parts with eng subs, I realised I understand 50% of the words used. So my vocabulary is still weak. I understood the sentences structure because I did a lot of writing exercises. Still, I haven’t done listening practice before so this is a good start. I now know I’m weak at listening. If I continuously do this I think I can converse naturally soon!

[@thatoneewokthatdied2291]

No subs: I understood some words and vaguely picked up the topics as the conversation went on. The general meaning of questions were surprisingly easy to undestand. Longer sentences were the most difficult because I couldn't keep up with the speed at all :D With Kor. subs: Still couldn't make out a lot of it but recognized more words that I didn't pick up at the first listen. With a decent bit of grammar knowledge at least the structure of the sentences were clear most of the time and I could puzzle the meaning together for myself more easily. Kor. and Eng. subs: Of course it was all understandable then but comparing it with the translation I put together in my head I realized I'm still missing a lot. Vocabulary is always topic-dependant so I wasn't too bothered by that but sentence patterns are important to know so I wrote that down. Hopefully next time I can recognize more (there is definitely more coming, right? ;) )

[@deukaeutopia5957]

Exactly the same for me!

[@O_Ciel_Phant0mhive]

I agree

[@mikerojano7305]

love how your friend instantly asks if something tastes good the very second you taste it haha

[@ploryz]

Oh MY GOSH so helpful please do more of this ❤❤

[@SleepyTuesday1]

This is a really great video idea please do more of them. This is really helpful for learning natural conversation instead of taking everything straight from a book and ultimately sounding strange to natives.Thank you !

[@hyunkiz]

i’ve studied for 10 months and i understood 70% of it

[@ats1rk]

This is one of the best things I have found so far in my Korean studies! I was able to understand almost everything the first time through, but was confused when I heard 고구마 haha I forgot sweet potato lattes existed. Anyways, this is super helpful for Korean listening practice because it is more realistic than both dramas or textbook audios! Thank you so much! I am looking forward to listening to all of your Real Life Korean Listening series! I hope you keep doing this :D

[@danicadeveraimperial1874]

Listening part: I understand few words Korean Sub: I understand more words by reading it word per word

Thank you so much, I hope you can do more of these in the future 💗 이 영상은 아주 좋아해요 :)

[@mariareginaa_]

I feel so proud for understanding 90% with the korean sub only 🥺 the thing is, I usually understand most casual conversations but it’s hard for me to form a sentence on my own 😥

[@saramo8867]

I'm really happy that i found a channel recording real conversation. Thank you. Please make sure next time to record without noise in the background so that we can catch all the conversation and pronunciation ❤️ We appreciate your efforts

[@invincibleenglish]

This was helpful. I understood about 10%. With Korean subtitles I understood about 30%. Even with the English/Korean subtitles I only understood about 75% becuase it was hard trying to read, listen, and translate at the same time. But, I will watch it again. I like this method. Very natural.

I couldn’t understand everything but the first time I kinda knew what you were talking about, with the subtitles I understood a bit more and with the English subtitles I was amazed how much I can actually understand, just by context ☺️ gonna write down some words I didn’t know before! Thank you, this is an interesting way of learning!

[@rickyjaygomez8031]

I get a hard time understanding the conversation without subs altho I get the flow of the conversation but it takes time for me to grasp the its context. Hangul subs helped me a lot and I'm super relieved since I'm already able to understand the whole convo and when Eng subs popped out, I was able to confirm that my understanding prior to that was right :) This is super helpful! Thanks a lot.

[@coldestsprite1467]

I was just looking at videos because I felt like I was in a bit of a slump, stuck between being too comfortable for beginner but not quite comfortable enough for intermediate. However, this video felt SO self gratifying. I'm not too hard on myself about the long sentences that kind of sent me for a loop because I didn't really expect to get them 100% but I was ridiculously surprised how much I was able to decipher before the video progressed to English subtitles. If I had to rate the grasp I had throughout this video, I'd give myself 80% - the other 20% accounting for vocabulary I didn't recognize and the aforementioned longer sentences whose grammar caught me slipping. I understood the context and the progression of the conversation almost completely and I feel so proud of myself right now

[@juliocadenas5149]

Korean is very hard. There is no way around it. But keep listening to conversations. It will adjust your ears to the language better. Thanks so much for doing this video. It helped so much. Learners depend too much on subtitles and reading because its easier and comfortable. But listening and speaking is where the real task begins.

I found that I understand 99% conversation with her but understand 1% conversation with other Korean teachers... the conversation is constructed in a way too kind to me which I lack the real conversation.

I loved it, you're helping me a lot!

[@honeyberry1408]

Fair to say that years ago I wouldnot have understood nothing lol. I shouldnt even be excited cause I am a Korean department graduate but I thought I forgot about Korean lol. I understood everything. For those of you leading, going out of your comfort zone is the best thing you can do while learning. Please don't make my mistakes where I didn't challenge myself, also, slow continues progress is your best friend. Don't go studying hours then stop days. Tell yourself I am gonna do this just for 10 mins and watch the magic over time. I am proud of those using their time to learn anything new. Thank you so much for your content I will gladly watch more of those to refresh my Korean .

Ya'll need to learn new language like a baby : They listen and try to mimic the voice while understanding and asking for the particular thing . This really works for me I hav learnt English hindi Arabic tamil and now korean by listening and trying to mimic their sounds and ofcourse having conversation daily with someone who is learning the same language or a native person.
