Dumb Foreigner Moments I've Had in Korea

[@LH-xs8ge]

your Korean pronunciation is really good, guurrrrl ;)

[@melonbarmonster]

It's the best out of all you tubers by far.

[@daseot3325]

+melonbarmonster LoL it seems you don't know a lot. There are many YTs with very good Korean pronunciation.

[@Nachoking19961]

+melonbarmonster Id say Whitney has the most fluent Korean.

[@7hz8]

+Yukine Sekki i would say the most fluent are : dave and koreanenglishman. withney's pronunciation still has american accent...

[@daseot3325]

Everyone has a good (good enough) pronunciation. But it is more important to speak the language proper.

[@mikek1635]

Ha! Trying to eat raw eggs? I can top that. I tried to eat the plastic display sushi at a Japanese restaurant. 😞

[@gabbyrodriguez5219]

How embarrassing!!! I can totally see myself doing that :)

[@mikek1635]

+gabby rodriguez The sushi chef wasn't impressed.

[@gabbyrodriguez5219]

+Mike K ha ha ha, I'm sure he wasn't! :-D

[@audriannebegay3524]

I had to laugh at this 😂

[@keiramarcial337]

😂 I like you 😂

[@yasmine7305]

Guuuuurl did you see that cute video of the American 6 year old girl who knew Korean perfectly..!! and had a casual convo with the taxi driver... she also got confused with hometown for cat!! its soo cute >< x

[@DefineMorena]

yess. I saw that as well!

[@urRAWRsoundsfunnyLOL]

Link pls?

[@tindle438]

I thought of that when she said it

[@DefineMorena]

TheWalkingBritt Just look for black girl speaks Korean to taxi driver. It will show up.

[@dksoulstice6040]

Link please?

[@MyKoreanHusband]

Omg the home town and cat one.... always..... always.... haha

[@MrsMeganMoon]

+MyKoreanHusband hahahaha

[@Chic_Natural444]

Dumb. no.This lady is sooo smart.her mind is like a sponge learning that language like she was born there.Love your videos Megan. and your personality is refreshing.

[@Hallyu-Back]

Awesome vid! What I wanna know is: what foreigner in Korea DOESN'T have a few dumb moments every now and then? LOL

[@nisthathapa8092]

Hallyu Back i always watch your video top friday

[@TinaSoup]

the subway lines seem so confusing !

[@TinaSoup]

Wooplot ?

[@MRSIHATECAKES]

+yixing park they arent hard at all lol

[@Seonnie]

+yixing park haha I thought the same thing. Omg.

[@janayeervin7378]

They aren't as hard as they seem and the automated voice repeats the name of the next stop enough times so you can be sure not to miss your stop. It doesn't take long to get used to it.

[@lmaoitsover]

+yixing park They seemed confusing at first glance but once you actually ride the subway it's pretty easy.

[@Thatssonaynay]

this bruh don't know me from Facebook so I don't know how he knows I have a cats lol.😂😂

[@Mesmi92]

Girl! One time I was out grilling meat with a Korean on the circular grill. Those grills have a gap where you crack an egg and it cooks as it surrounds the meat. The restaurant owner came and put bread on that gap surrounding the hot plate. I thought it was to eat and I started to eat the egg with the bread on the gap. Turns out, the bread was put on the gap to collect the dirty oil.... whoops.

[@shineeaddict7911]

You're so "full of life" in your videos, that I enjoy watching them! I loved your outfit btw, it was really cool :)

[@kpoptrash1261]

i love what you are wearing omg

[@kpoptrash1261]

as always

[@flawless685]

+marina kim (Rina) where to buy?

[@sammisamosas1389]

+#Flawless you can buy it on websites such as yestyle.com and dresslinkthey are websites that sell Asian (Korean) clothes

[@DeadmanWonderWorld]

+marina kim (Rina) And I love what she is saying!

[@gavingallagher3816]

+marina kim (Rina) also they do sell similar clothing in Forever 21, H&M and also sometimes Pacsun but it depends what location your stores are in

[@leilamuniz6028]

The language learning tip is sooooo much accurate! I remember I also did that when I was learning English, and it was really helpful. It's so strange to go through all of this experience once again, but that's the fun side of learning a third or any language! Love your work, keep it up! 💗

[@kitjung7556]

That was adorable xD

[@MrsMeganMoon]

+정유선 =^_^=

[@MrDirtBaggins]

+ChoNunMigookSaram Now Kiss! :3

[@jayalexander7763]

+ChoNunMigookSaram hey I know you've been on Korean tv shows, so why don't you post them?

[@HyunwooSun]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 고양이 ㅎㅎ

[@purpleguddess]

Rewatching all her old videos at work cause I love them. I love to recap what I forgot.

[@blenderbeetle]

Haha. My dumbest moment when i visited Korea last January was at a convenience store. The 7/11 was right next to the hostel and i wanted something to eat. The only problem was i couldn't figure out how to open the door!! There wasno handle, it wasn't push or pull and it took me two whole minutes to find the button to open the door (that convenience store worker must have thought i was so dumb lol)

[@Ana-fm3zt]

blenderbeetle that happened to me in the sm town museum. I figured out you had to press the button for most doors but I couldn’t find it for the museum so I just left confused

[@amyamy5607]

You are legit one of my favourite people on youtube right now, I've been none stop watching your channel aha and you've inspired me to start learning korean

[@WhatCoco]

I never get tired of your videos! You're always so funny and entertaining to watch. Please do more vlogs! I love them.

[@shineejonghyunonew]

I enjoy all your videos. I subscribed maybe a week ago and I binge watched all your videos. I love them all! thanks for being so awesome!

[@russianswag409]

I just discovered your channel yesterday and can't stop watching your videos! You have such a sweet personality and radiate positivity, makes me so happy! I studied the Japanese language and culture for 13 years during school and I absolutely loved it. I even had the chance a few years ago to visit Japan with my school and I can't wait to go back! Although now I'd love to learn a new language & and Korean sounds so nice :) I'm very impressed by how fluent you sound when speaking Korean, incredible! Keep up the great work and awesome videos :) Love from Australia (not too far away, haha!)

[@TaeSunWoo]

But can we have a vid dedicated to the subway system. Bc that shit intimidates me

[@fuckyachicken]

Outfit is sooooo good 😍😍😍😭😭💕💕👍🏼👍🏼 Megan you slaaayy girl

[@MrsMeganMoon]

+Manaia Heath =^_^=

[@fuckyachicken]

+ChoNunMigookSaram oh my god im freaking out

[@flawless685]

+Manaia Heath ON FLEEK

[@fuckyachicken]

+hotcrossedbun ok chill out 😂😂😂

[@리나ceros]

OMG thank you for telling me about the subway express line! Seriously, I think I could have beaten your record before realising. Thank you!

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

Honestly learning a language by just learning the basics and then just jumping in and figuring the vocabulary out by context really is a good way to actually learn and keep that knowledge. I did that with English once I realized that my school will not help me get to the level I wanted to be at. Just read a lot of books and watched many many movies and shows without any subtitles and eventually I just figured out new words by just listening to the context. These days I'm writing and speaking English fluently and I don't even notice if people are speaking in English or my native language anymore because my brain is just that used to understanding both.

[@riririri655]

Another funny yet informative video ! Please keep making more and more videos ! I love you Megan !

[@lybertiana3600]

Meagan!! I wish you would post more often. I love your videos and i'm running out of videos to binge watch!

[@GinaBearsTravels]

Hahahaha. We've all had "blonde moments" on the subway, but thanks for pointing that out! Thanks to you, I won't be making subway mistakes. I just moved to Korea 3 months ago and that's so helpful. Stay awesome, girlfriend.

[@AlPal4554]

I've just finished watching all of your videos (what am I doing with my life) and now I'm looking forward to these updates! Love it!

[@stellameii]

I love your videos about Korean lifestyle! :) This was a great an funny one. I enjoyed watching✨

[@MrsMeganMoon]

+Rachel Phantomhive thanks for watching :)

[@evieluna6060]

Ahh that sounds so confusing with the subway lines and stuff haha! I hope in the future you could maybe do more of these, I really like them!!

[@againstcliche]

beside from the way you say your name every time, everything's so cute as always!!!!

[@maegangerry9271]

Been binge watching your videos for the past week now! Love you girl! You are too cute! OMG, your story about the cat/hometown was hilarious!!! Side note: even though I don't live there anymore, I still claim central Florida, too!!!

[@longestpossiblename]

Language mix ups can be so funny, I once got invited to my friend's house who said they wanted "to hostage" me, we still laugh about it to this day ;) I'm glad to see you can giggle about these 'blonde' moments you've had, that's the best way to deal with them in my opinion...laughter is good for you!

[@chloeebaaker]

after I finish university I plan on moving over to S.Korea and your videos have a lot of useful information that I have actually started writing in a small notebook xx

[@laurasjltov4332]

Such a big fan of you, Megan. You will always have my support! Love from Denmark xx

[@Xiasaki]

This was such a helpful video. Would love to see more of these "blonde moment" videos

[@Xena9002]

hahahha the cat convo cracked me up XD

[@misscubic]

OMFG I DIED LAUGHING HOW YOU GOT THE HOME TOWN THING WRONG BUT IT STILL WORKED OUT

[@prawndog100]

Omggggggg the underground point (thick and thin line) explains sooooo much! Hubby and I were so confused with the Seoul underground lines lol! It's so huge and different from the London Underground, with so many lines! Wish we knew this when we were there, oh well for next time ! ;)

[@Crissybesr]

i love your videos so much even though i just started watching today! i can't wait to see more

[@polly2228]

I love when you speak korean!! It just goes well with your accent :)

[@ashleylarose7473]

The egg mistake was so funny! It looked like Megan was really embarrassed about it. We all have our food mistakes! I still can't use chopsticks if that makes you feel any better! Great video!

[@Taekwondogirl91]

Megan! I really really love this video! It makes me feel better about the dumb foreigner mistakes I've made here :) thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@Magoolu]

Your outfits are always so cute!!!!!

[@hxpewxrld]

Whoa your videos are so HD now, it looks like a TV show!!

[@kitler42]

I never comment on KZbin but you're adorable and this video made me laugh :) I love your sense a humor and that you don't take yourself too seriously- great channel, keep 'em coming!

[@Vivi-00]

Megan!! 😊 I was wondering if you would consider doing skits again just once in a while, I loved them! Btw love love the video, and the new decorations for the studio. ~

[@mechelleh8172]

I love your uploads and I can relate to most of them (been here 10 years). Met you at Itaewon station about 2 weeks ago and forgot how to talk. Literally, I was speechless. My English left me but it always return on weekends when I have real conversations. Anyways, love love love your videos., especially "Koreans react..." Happy New Years! -Me'Chelle

[@mrslamanzanaverdei]

Yayyy!!! Finally meghan!! I love your videos :)

[@MarieLouiseK90]

Ahhh this helps me alot with the trains in Seoul I don't live in or near Seoul and my hagwon is literally 2 mins from my house walking distance so I don't use public transportation either in my little town. Thanks for the vid Megan.

[@imankarindimalanta6756]

I love your personality! It's so awesome how you know korean

[@AKA-lr6cv]

Enjoying the videos! Please post some cooking videos soon. :)

[@aileenbrazeau5774]

Thank for the informative video. You are are natural. It’s so helpful and informative.

[@heart-and-seoul]

omg thank you! This subway info is so awesome! lol. I've been here in Seoul for 4 months, and didn't know that. Just took my first express train last weekend and was also praying it stopped where I needed it to. :p

[@hola-rb3xd]

Meghan you should make a video about the subway, explain all those things and how not to get lost

[@fibisugar]

Lol, I also thought that about subway lines before I moved to cities that had subways. The thin lines ended up being smaller lines, but i always thought they were for decoration. And that is why I always shake eggs before cracking them to see if they are raw if they are sitting out, because I have woken up in the morning and thought someone boiled eggs and cracked a raw egg on the plate or counter top.

[@tranquilray]

I was already dying from the egg story but when you said "now this bruh don't know me from Facebook so I don't know how he know I got a cat" and I completely lost. This was too funny but I expect nothing less from you XD. Luckily you still said America and not in a pet shelter or in my friends basement then that would've been...really awkward.

[@pinkie24]

I miss the vlog videos where she goes to restaurants and shopping. I perfer them over these new videos she makes in a studio

[@Fancynancytv]

omg the cat story XD you got random stalkers every where asking you where your cat is XD

[@patriciamaxwell5643]

I feel like no amount of information I've been learning will help me prepare moving there 😭. I need to make friends from Korea so they can come to my rescue when I need them.

[@jaime169bx]

I'm from NYC and the subway in SK is easier to navigate than NYC... Also I got the app in English and it's great. so amazing how I just click where I start from and click where I need to go and boom, it calculates how much it will cost, times of the train, what cart to be on to transfer and what side you will get off, how long it will take. it's perfect

[@aliceallgrown]

I would be so lost in a city with a big subway system. In Winnipeg (where I'm from) we only have buses - no subway or passenger trains/trolleys. I'm sure I would get used to it eventually but at first I can certainly imagine it being very confusing!

[@foreverhonest0]

Just a quick trip on Subways! At the end of the subway cars there are seats that are against the wall, there are for ELDERLY AND PREGNANT WOMEN, I repeat, elderly and pregnant women.. The first time I rode the subway was the day after I landed and I was intimidated by all the people so I just took a seat (there wasn't many people seated here, now I know why). An elderly woman sat next to me and was really nice. She realized that I didn't speak Korean at the time but she was nice, I think she was going to let me know if I had spoken Korean. I thought everyone was starring because I was foreign haha So just in case someone needs to know so they don't make my mistake. I have heard that some Koreans get upset when this happens, luckily I realized my mistake next time I got onto a subway!

[@alexashimine810]

LOL OMG THE 고향 and 고양이 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT IS HILARIOUS. And it all worked out ahahahahahaha And I saw some comments about the subway system seeming difficult. At first yes, but like Megan (and me, been here about 6months now), you learn and adjust. There are apps that allow you to select which station you're starting from and where you wanna go. Then it'll show you the best path and how long it takes and what not. My favorite one that's in English is MetroidHD, but i believe it's only for Samsung phones. A piece of advise though is be aware if you need to transfer trains while on the same like. I've had multiple times where I would have to back track because my train didn't go in the direction that I was supposed to go. Be warned the 1 Line or the dark blue line at Guro splits into three directions hahahhaa

[@WinMichele]

OMGoodness I was cracking up at this video, thanks girl. Something I would totally do myself.

[@flawless685]

YOUR OUTFIT IS ON POINT

[@morganlove99]

Ooooh my God. I'm coming to Korea in like four months for my course and I panic so much when I think about using the subway and figuring out the routes and stations and all that jazz.

[@hannahbayliss1618]

Your videos give me the inspiration to learn the language and sooo funny too

[@ringoisacandyapple]

the cat thing was so funny because there was a video of a little girl in a taxi and the Korean man kept asking her where she was from and she kept telling him that she had a cat lol

[@hopedean6424]

Is the background song Friday by IU? It sounds really familiar but I can't put my finger on it

[@ajiboy12]

Hey Megan, I noticed on Snapchat you said you were prepping for a bodybuilding competition. Could you maybe talk more about how you got into bodybuilding in your next Q&A video? Much love

[@Whereverwithjen]

i didnt understand the subway lines so when i was suppose to go to seoul, i rode the subway that went out of seoul. after 1 hour ish i realized i was going the wrong way and almost missed my first day of school😂😂😂😂

[@Phoenixspin]

+whereverwithjen I got on the train going the wrong way in Dallas. I almost missed my flight. I have no excuse since I was not in a foreign country.

[@Miramira-ly1wy]

We do this all the time in France 🇫🇷

[@kakaa997]

Your shirt is so prettyyyy!!

[@HoneyBii]

AHH no way?! The subway and express trains! haha that is really funny, I caught onto that pretty quickly, but the subway cart recommendations took my a long time to realize :P

[@jwslee]

Aaaaaah you don't really upload that many videos anymore. I was always looking forward to watch videos of you. Hope to see you upload more. Maybe because you don't know that many subjects anymore or something's else. But I would love to see more interviews. Like how Korean people think of foreigners, kpop, plastic surgery, tanning or other kinds of things

[@maisyalinagumay6135]

megaaaann I miss you and your videoooo. finally it came out! yeay! ^^

[@mayfunkymonkey]

I really like your contacts!

[@daegucityboy]

I also like what u said about learning Korean. Instead asking a lot of questions, try to look at/listen to the context and work from there. learn from the mistakes

[@blubei]

The cat one was so hilarious! It must have been so strange for you why everyone is so interested in your cat. XD

[@Real__jmt]

Why do I feel like even after you telling me I'll make these mistakes? Lol on the topic of subways (I'm from Texas and we don't have any of them lol) how did you learn the system? By taking chances or did you ask friends or coworkers certain things to help? I'm sure the apps help but I am the kind of person who likes to know how to do directions manually. Thanks for the video!

[@kylehudsons]

+Chaerae Park take it a few times and u will know it automatically.....

[@HayHey248]

+Chaerae Park By using subway app maps to help you the first few times, you&#39;ll remember it in no time. Especially since the lines/colours/numbers are set up quite smartly its much easier to figure them out. Plus they will also announce the stop in English as well as have a map/tv inside the train that has a light that moves to where you are. If you are mostly staying in Seoul, going to the popular places, you'll really only have to remember the green coloured line and maybe light blue.

[@XoceanxsunX]

I'm from Texas too! and I'm currently living in Seoul. I used the subway app and after a few times you'll just figure it out. I pretty much take the same routes and so now I've memorized where to go~

[@kpopveganinfires1661]

XoceanxsunX can I move in with u lol

[@HouseFairy898]

Definitely learn the system when you have free time! If you try to get to a place, and even if you're early just in case of mistakes, you need extra time and it could be a mess and not a pleasant experience. I've made that mistake one too many times on the city buses in my hometown. I bet trains are even harder!

[@kimberlykjy]

Omg Ive been to korea a few times and I never realized what the express train was for and the thin lines on the map....thanks megan!

[@xHipolinax]

omg.......the last tip though!!! it was life changing lol I always get lost while transferring...

[@ornepalavecino]

Hey!! love your videos, watching from Argentina 😊

[@emelmbk]

❤️I Love your style Omg so inspiring❤️

[@Viviviannnx]

you're always so happy and bubbly

[@tesamorgam1847]

The egg part was my fave I laughed so hard I'm glad you shared because I've always wanted to know did you have any crazy goofy moments were you honestly didn't know

[@angc6440]

4 years later and here I am watching for my upcoming trip

[@AliciaM96]

Just for anyone using this to study Korean from the Korean sentences Megan said, there was a typo on the Korean sentence 'How long does it take?' It should be '얼마나 걸려요?' Not '얼마나 거려요?' :) I hope there are no hard feelings about me pointing this out > < I know it was just a mistake and I want to make sure people don't accidentally learn the wrong spelling~

[@whooopdeedo]

AHAHA loving these stories because they're so understandable if you didn't grow up knowing those things! like for the soondae egg thing, it's perfectly logical to think that they're side dishes that are just sitting there for people to enjoy while they wait for their soup, esp because banchans are so common! and in saunas everyone gets boiled eggs, so why not in restaurants? reasonable conclusion, just not the right one hehe

[@CoehManeh]

First time I come here, and I'm already a fan!

[@Aigoorp]

It was very funny when you said the elevator man didn't know you from facebook so how could he know your cat hahahahahha I love you

[@danielmora8516]

she does such a thourough insight into the language,you know ameri. adults would try and take her class in primary school.:)

[@eleonorec3697]

I used to do the same with the express trains, just taking a random train and hoping for it to stop at my station... thank you for your advice haha

[@anushasan9452]

I'm telling ya, YOU ARE THE SWEETEST/ CUTEST/ MOST ADORABLE PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN ON KZbin!! I mean seriously in your own way you are the sweetest, simply sweet! ♥ ^_^ I like the way you talk (tho i didn't got the subway part). I have a question- How did you learn hangul what made you travel to Korea? (Ya can make a video on this topic if ya haven't done one :)

[@iamme9185]

ahahahahah it is same situation when foreigners go to Samgyetang house, when they give you Ginsengju don't drink it by itself, pour it to the hot boiling pot, Ginsengju is for making Chicken meat more tender and soft so after pouring it you can scratch the meat with your chopstick easily and you don't taste any alcohols in your chicken

[@pinkhairedneko]

Awwww man the second you started talking about the eggs.... I knew haha! >.

[@theetravelhippie]

Whats it like celebrating the holidays in a different country?

[@tvtoms]

Oh, so on the subway map where the thin line appears as if it takes a slightly different route and bypasses some stops, it just means the train doesn't stop at those places. Even with you explaining it I felt slow to pick it up!

[@MagicMaggiez]

Would you say that Korea is a good/okay place to travel alone too? I'm planing to take a trip next year during the winter and it will be my first time traveling internationally alone. Iv been studying Korean for a while and am taking classes to improve my language ability. My mom is fine with me going alone since I'll be 18, and she's not particularly interested in coming with me unless I ask her/feel I need her there to be safe. My friend who is also interested in Korea has told me that it's not really safe to travel alone so I was just wondering what other people have to say/think. Any input or opinions would be helpful, thank you! Love your videos and snaps :D

[@-Seppuku-]

Hey :) ~ I never travelled alone, because of the reason I'm kinda scared to get lost. I think it would help a lot to make up some plans before you are actually traveling to Korea. Like.. Umm.. Looking at the map, learning something about the public transportation as in this video or maybe just note the places street names you want to visit and how you get there. Maybe learning some sentences in the case you need to ask someone ( Koreans aren't really good in english )

[@tindle438]

I'm 24 and my mom would still be having a heart attacked if she knew I traveled alone

[@Charlotte-lg7mx]

I'm 14 and traveled Korea by my own too for like a month. I know it may sound weird because I'm younger but you really don't have to worry about traveling there alone. It's true that things may happen to you or sth like that....but that can happen everywhere, right? just inform yourself before you go there and you'll survive xD Traveling is an amazing thing to do and you earn so much of experiences and I don't know but I'm feeling weird telling that as an 14 years old girl LOL but anyways, you seriously don't need to worry you might get lost completely - that won't happen

[@TheBongoJeff]

+TheBongoJeff koreans are horny

[@becausekpop1629]

+TheBongoJeff wtf u need to stop being so racist. as if ur not horny, i can tell since u r commenting that

[@Thugflexx]

Yo, the 고양이/ 고향이 part had me rotf because that would be something I would do. Just going with the flow until I was informed differently lol! I like your confidence with language learning.
