Billy Go’s Beginner Korean Course | #15: I Want

[@nori_tutor]

Korean is not easy at all, but when I said phrases like "I want to watch a movie" in Korean, I felt so proud. I'll have to review it three to four times, probably.

[@nclark5720]

this is exactly how i feel as a new learner even the smallest, most basic steps feel like huge accomplishments i think it's because we're learning something that's basically a whole new way of approaching language. it's so far removed from anything we're used to as English speakers. a genuine expansion of the mind. i dabbled in other languages such as german, spanish, and swedish, but those languages didn't grip me like korean does. if i ever learn one of those, it'll be out of need, not want.

@@nori_tutorsame here haha

[@Kazakenra]

I think, as well, English (as we know it now) is a relatively 'new' language in the grand scheme of things...so it has been made 'more efficient' in that we don't have different ways of saying "I want" ->> we don't have a different way of saying I want (to do) vs I want (to have something) like Korean does, nor do we have gendered words/word endings like in German (omg that does my head in lol). Does that make sense? I'm so bad at explaining things lol I was chatting to my mum (who used to be a languages teacher) about this just the other day

Information overload 🥺🥺 will I ever be able to speak fluently 😭😭 I’ve been learning for over 2 years and all this is new to me

[@GoBillyKorean]

If this is new to you after 2 years, I recommend starting with a curriculum and re-learning all of the stuff you missed. It's normal to see very slow progress if you're learning without a curriculum or a guide (or a class/teacher) because you'd just be learning lots of random things, and it's hard to put those things together into speaking skills. You can try either my books, or TTMIK's free lessons, or any curriculum you can find that will guide you through what to learn and in what order. There's no *best* order, but you just want *some* order to learn so you can use your time better.

[@kennethmccamish4092]

In the book you have the 고십습니다. I think it's probably a difference in politeness levels but I'd love to see a series of videos that correspond to each chapter of the book. I understand why they don't and I do appreciate the lessons, but I'd love to see something like a classroom situation where there is a chapter of a textbook to read and study and a lecture that goes with that chapter specifically. Where the teacher "goes over" what is presented in the chapter. Would be great to have some of the phrases and vocab in the book said aloud. I love the sound files available for the book but they only do the conversations at the beginning. In any case, this is one of the best language programs I've followed!

[@GoBillyKorean]

You will learn about that politeness level in this course too later on :)

[@Squidmoto3]

Really liked this one. I've been using it to create my own sentences knowing some vocab, and then I spoke them into google translate to see if it understood me, and then I put those translations into ChatGPT to check if I made errors. Basically turned this 7 minute video into an hour long lesson that I think I really benefited from. I think i've nailed why you're such a perfect teacher... you had to learn this all yourself. Don't get me wrong, native speakers are perfect for things like pronunciated and nuance, but for the most part they learned Korean passively, so someone like you who actively learned it knows some really nifty tips that are making this much less painful. I went once 5 years ago and plan to go again this year - hopefully now with a much better understanding thanks to you and TTMIK.

안녕하세요 Sir and thank you for these free lessons

[@mizu7284]

It's so nice to see parallels of the rules in this language and the Japanese language which I already have learned. While I am not yet sure of the reason why the specific forms are not allowed in third person for Korean, it's also the same way in Japanese, where you can say ほしい for yourself, but you must say 欲しさう・欲しいらしい・欲しがる (seems to want)

[@GoBillyKorean]

In this case it's unrelated, as 좋다 doesn't have any literal meaning of "want" or "desire" in Korean like 欲 does in Japanese.

[@jayadvice]

billy for the "to see, and to watch" you can conjugate 싶다 and the last one says 보고 싶어요 but it also means "i miss you"

[@GoBillyKorean]

That's correct.

Is another lesson coming that explains how to say he/she wants something? Maybe that lesson can explain when you use the verb 바라다 for wanting something. I just saw a TTMK video that had a sentence using that verb and it was translated as “want”.

[@GoBillyKorean]

There's a lesson later in the series (toward the end) that teaches how to say "wish/hope" but you won't need 바라다 in most cases :) 바라다 is often used in letters with the ~길 ending on verbs to say you wish/hope for someone to be healthy/happy/etc.

Hi Billy, so I know you said 원하다 also means to want. And that it's not common because its very direct. So does that mean to say that its said more like you're giving a command?

[@GoBillyKorean]

No, just that it sounds stronger like "I WANT (something)." But 원하다 is used a lot as an adjective (I explain how to change action verbs into adjectives in a later lesson), and sounds perfectly natural.

Hi Billy, i just learned Korean from your video for 1 month and decided to buy your book, then I noticed that in your books korean made simple first chapter 4, you use 워합니다 for 'want' instead 고십다, i notice you mention about 원하다 in this video, so for practical use, should i use 워하다 form or 고십다 form? Thank you and i really enjoy your lesson so much, 감사함니다!

[@GoBillyKorean]

The books move more slowly, and through much more material, so they start with a formal style of Korean and then introduce informal (~요, etc.) in a later chapter. If you're following either this course or the books, you'll be fine :-) For practical use in the very beginning, you can use either 원하다 to say you want something, or ~고 싶다 with the verb you want to do. Later on you'll learn a better way to do this (with the verb 가지고 싶다 or 갖고 싶다), but for now it'll get the job done.

[@NextHumane]

It does! It means "I want to see" literally, since it's just 보다 + ~고 싶다. However, in Korean you say that you "miss" someone by literally just saying that you want to "see" them. So it's both :)

Why in BTS song Spring day,. They say 보고 싶다 and not 보고 싶어 . I know in this sense it means "I miss you" (litteraly 보고 싶어 = (i) want to see you) But they say 보고 싶다 meaning... To want to see

[@akom3640]

Jellyyz I was wondering the same thing! I’m not sure, but I have a theory: since Spring Day was written as a letter (something BTS have mentioned in their KZbin live), maybe a plain form (보고 싶다) is used. Like, (나는) 보고 싶다 = (I) miss you (plain form). Anyway, I’m a beginner too so that’s just a theory 😊

[@KoreanJream]

(I’m not Billy, but if you don’t mind me anawering...) that ~다 ending which is the same as the dictionary ending is called ‘plain speech level’. It has no politeness and often used when people talk to themselves or think out loud. That’s why the lyrics use 보고 싶다: they are speaking their hearts out, thinking out loud. ☺️

[@jellyyz6335]

@@KoreanJream ohh that makes more sense now... Thank you so much 😊

[@nova866]

If I may add, I also learned it from others that conjugating verbs to polite forms apply most of the time on speech (i.e., when talking directly to someone or when speaking to a particular audience). On the other hand, on written materials where there is no specific intended audience, the plain dictionary form (uncongated verb) is used. This is the case for newspaper and I assume for song lyrics as well.

[@GoBillyKorean]

That's just the Plain Form, which I have several videos on my channel explaining :)

Might be nice to have Romanized slides for people interested in grammar but not having learned Hangul well enough to read quickly. Showing verb stems to see how things change, or a link to lessons with earlier content would help too.

[@firstnamelastname5474]

Actually, you'd really fair better if you drop romanization right from the start. Never ever rely on it or get used to it too much or it'll only hurt your progress. So yup, you have to really learn hangul and it's actually quite easy so that's not a problem. If the problem is not reading fast enough, maybe just try pausing the video and read it at your speed, the sooner you get comfortable with 한굴 the better. Anyway, good luck on studying!

[@JapanPop]

First name Last name Different theories. Speaking, listening, reading, writing are all different linguistic skills. Performed culture suggests learning how to speak and listen from context appropriate situations, but trying to read gets in the way. Since I teach Japanese, sure, we want students to read quickly. But lexical skills are different from conversation and grammar usage. Romanization is helpful for the casual comparative learner. I’m interested in how the grammar may compare to Japanese.

[@GoBillyKorean]

I made a video about why you should avoid romanization here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2PNgaOFbLt6a80 Also if you watch this series in order (there's a link to the whole playlist in the video description) it teaches the complete Korean alphabet from episodes 2-9.

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

@Christopher Born, I understand what you mean but romanization is not good for learning Korean. You will never get the sound of the words right with romanization. And that will impede your ability to gain skill in Korean. As Billy said, check out lessons 2 thru 9 in this series. Hangul can be learned pretty quickly. Billy made a series long ago for learning hangul in 90 minutes as well. Sure, you may not remember everything the next day but it will all come together. Also, you can do what I do....watch the lesson through, watch again and pause to take notes. I hope that helps. :)

[@GoBillyKorean]

@@JapanPop Romanization works fine with Japanese for beginners, because all of the sounds in Japanese can be represented pretty closely with English. And with Japanese, even if you pronounce something as you read it you can still be mostly understood. Romanization does not, however, work with Korean like it does with Japanese. Korean has too many sounds that can't be written with English at all, and each syllable can have multiple letters. With Japanese, every sound is only 1 or 2 letters (a consonant and a vowel).

Sir . I have a question is the verb stem for 좋아하다 this one 좋아하 ? P.s. It seems incorrect to me.

[@GoBillyKorean]

Yes, the verb stem of 좋아하다 is 좋아하.

@@GoBillyKorean okay Sir 감사합니다 🙏

안녕하세요! So, I'm following your book and watching the videos along with it, cause hearing you explain and pronounce things helps me remember them better. I know they're not meant to go together, but I have question. In the video you use ~고 싶어요, and in the book ~고 싶습니다. So the second one is the more polite way of speaking, and the first one the more casual? Did I understand that correctly? 😬 고맙습니다! 😊

[@GoBillyKorean]

This video course is structured in a different way than my books, but you'll also learn that ~니다 form in this course (in a later lesson). You can start with either course, but the book series does go to a higher level.

It's like when I want to have something I need to say 저는 _____ 가지고 싶어요 ? Like for an example I am talking to someone and I need a pen so do I have to say it like *"저는 펜 가지고 싶어요"*

Okay I’m gonna try now, please tell me if I did it wrong. 저는 음식 먹고 싶어요

[@GoBillyKorean]

You're right! You might want to use the object marker though (for example), or at least if you're removing it remember that it can normally go there.

[@user-bs4rj1uu8n]

Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean oh yeah I totally forgot😅. Okay so. 저는 음식을 먹고 싶어요

[@maryerrruuu]

Can I ask a question ? So I’ve been studying for a while (at least trying to lol) anyway so your videos really help but I have a question about this sentence ” 너나 나가” so I’ve been told that this means get out of my way which I mean with the “나가” would make sense but about the 너 나 part... doesn’t 너 mean you and 나 mean I ? So yeah this has gotten me confused and once again thanks for the useful videos :D

[@GoBillyKorean]

You can find a couple videos on my channel about ~나.

[@maryerrruuu]

Ah thank you :D
