when j-line arrived in korea, members said that mina was the fastest to pick up the language since she trained the shortest among all of them (1 year). they also mentioned multiple times from debut until now that mina is the smartest and is the most quick-witted. however i think sana improved rapidly and surpassed mina overtime due to her outgoing, extroverted and outspoken nature. sana is like the most extroverted member and mina is the most introverted member.

Sana probably spends much more time out and conversing out loud with other people in Korean than Mina does due to her personality. I never really thought about it like that.

For the Taiwanese, the "ng" sounds are often less audible and morphed into an in between "n" and "ng" sound, this is perhaps why tzuyu makes this mistake. Hearing korean with small hints of their native tongue is definitely unique and adds character. It's almost like hearing a french person speaking American english, quite interesting to listen to. Now here is some unsolicited critique I'd like to offer for your korean. In order to reach native levels, an American needs to talk with a different tone when speaking an Asian language. It's hard to describe, but Asian languages are spoken with a ton of indecision and a lot of pauses and gaps and run-ons. English speakers definitely tend to gravitate towards putting everything they try to say in one perfect sentence, but this is quite awkward sounding in something like everyday Chinese. Best way to describe this is to sound more "stuttery" with a lot of "eh", "hmm", "ah", "mmm" in between sentences. This may seem counterintuitive, but this is definitely one of the subtle reasons foreigners will sound foreign with Asian languages.

I think Taiwanese mandarin speakers make the distinction between n and ng less obvious because in Taiwanese Hokkien the n or ng sounds can change depending on where it is in the sentence. For example lín (you) can be pronounced lín or líng depending on if it’s pronounced using the front or the back of your mouth. And I think this is what is influencing Taiwanese mandarin and thus her Korean (regardless if she speaks Hokkien or not). For example in 행동 the ㅇ is before a ㄷ which is pronounced on this alveolar ridge which is where ㄴ is pronounced and so using Taiwanese Hokkien traits it would probably be pronounced 핸동. And this trait makes Taiwanese mandarin the way it is eg míngzì can be pronounced mínzì because z is pronounced on your alveolar ridge like n is and not as the back of your mouth like ng is. But just my observations lol

I always find that Mina always think out of the box and that may be why she picks up Korean easily! While Mina is smart I also want to say because Japanese grammar and vocal have similarities with Korean, that may also be why Mina is able to pick up the language easily.

Loved this, and I totally understand Tzuyu's 겨드랑이 misinterpretation, for I thought for over a decade that "blood" in Japanese was "chiga" instead of just "chi." Just like in Korean, the subject marker is "ga" (血が出ている "chi ga deteiru" "(one) is bleeding", 피가 나온다) and in the case of blood, is almost always followed by it, hence "chiga." Additionally, just like in Korean, the markers are often omitted, so in the case of "chi ga deteiru," one may have thought that the ga was omitted, and the original sentence would have been "chiga ga deteiru." To even further complicate things, in the case of blood, a lot of times you're just shocked by the sight of it, so you can cut off the sentence midspeech and just exclaim, "Chiga!..." as in "Blood!..." leaving just the subject marker and truncate the rest of the sentence, reinforcing this weird belief of mine that I carried throughout childhood. Anyway, I find this series super fun, Billy. Thanks a lot for these! Maybe you could do other stars like Wendy from Red Velvet, Amber from f(x), or Sam Hammington next?

i can hear a pronunciation mistake in your japanese, you pronounce "ch" "t" "p" and "k" as "ㅊ" "ㅌ" "ㅍ" and "ㅋ" respectively but really theyre much closer to "ㅈ" "ㄷ" "ㅂ" and "ㄱ". ppl only think of these consonants as aspirated/strong consonants so they can still distinguish them from "j" "d" "b" and "g" which sound like how they do in english(except for "j" which sounds like how it does in russian or how dź sounds in polish and "d" in japanese is also slightly different and is the same as the one in french, spanish or most languages but "b" and "g" are exactly the same as english)

I'd believe that, as Jessi is an honest queen. She's struggled reading cue cards on her own talk show, and to understand less common terms when appearing on variety shows. Native Korean speakers have also said Jessi has a very thick Korean American accent.

I’m interested in your opinion about IZ*ONE’s Japanese Line (Sakura, Nako, and Hitomi). I guess they started to learned korean during their time in Produce 48 with some fellow korean contestants in that survival show. They probably didn’t have that much time to learned the language since they didn’t get that much time to learned it before they debuted in 2018. But their korean is actually quite impressive tho ngl

I am Korean (born in Korea), but I definitely notice the way she pronounces "cream." In Korean, it's just 크림, but the way she says it, is very subtle, but has that japanese 크리무 style pronunciation. It's not as clear as the japanese way of doing it, but is sort of like a mix. But generally you are right, I don't think many of us would really notice that part. I"m only really aware of it, because I'm listening for differences. I don't know how I got to your video in the first place, but all of the stuff that you're saying is very accurate.
