Grading your Korean - More natural intonation | Billy Go

In this series I grade the Korean of one of my subscribers, Geona. I’ll grade her on how well she did, how she can improve, and everything between.

I swear it's Super Junior's fault for being so loud and talking all at the same time!! Kidding aside, I want to say thank you so much, Billy! I really appreciate you doing this series. Your tips are very helpful and made me want to take up learning Korean seriously again. I started learning back in 2009 but the time I actually spent studying and writing notes down probably only amounts to 2 to 3 years. At one point, I started understanding more and not needing subtitles for my drama watching. I talked to Koreans but they just say I'm good. I guess I didn't continue trying harder as I was satisfied with my current level. This video made me want to study again though!! Thank you for correcting me and giving us more tips! Also want to say you're very good at what you do and I can see how much you care and your willingness to help. Thanks, Billy!

Wow, you've been learning Korean for almost as long as I've been on this planet 🌚 you sound great, Geona! Looking forward to seeing you progress~~~

[@ohmygeona]

@@user-te6iw5wh1j aw thank you! And omg it just means I'm old! Lol.

I like your grammatical structure when you express your thoughts

Omg! Your advice on letting more air out is genius, I have never thought about it. I tried it with some words by myself just now and I can already feel and hear the difference!

[@Fedmarti88]

Her Korean is great. I’ve seen foreigners that live in Korea not speaking it half as well. Good job Geona!

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

I think she did a really good job. I felt like she probably thought about what she wanted to say, but wasn't really scripted nor overly rehearsed...more like she was free talking. I did sense her nerves, but I can 100% relate! Great job! And, Billy, love the ways to improve. Very helpful!

[@lau9222]

Again very informative! Thank you :) A video specifically about intonation would be very interesting!

[@okaniedavis3551]

YES!

[@aspcia]

I really like these. I'm less than a year into teaching myself through apps and KZbin and this series is answering a lot of questions I end up with, but with no one to ask 😅

[@derpderp9281]

This is so good, Geona sounds so good! Everyone sounds so beautiful in Korean, great job :D

[@oceandiscovery5288]

"More air" - BEST TIP!

[@austinheadrick]

Billy 선생님, if you have an old clip of you speaking Korean while you were still an intermediate learner, it would be fun to see you correct yourself!~

[@GoBillyKorean]

Unfortunately while I did own a camera when I was first living in Korea, I didn't record many videos of myself speaking in Korean. I only have tiny short clips and TONS of photos, but no videos. The first videos I have were already 2-3 years after I started studying.

[@austinheadrick]

@@GoBillyKorean Aw too bad; it would have been fun to see~ But this series of viewer corrections is still really enjoyable! Thanks for the lessons^^

[@ZomBeadsCL]

I love this series so muccch

[@priskasandra1132]

I absolutely love this new series. I hope you'll continue with this for a long time! This gives so much motivation to me! Geona, I guess you're learning Korean for 4-5 years. Well done

[@jannice6258]

Yes!! another video!!

[@igoroliveira3774]

This series is soo good for all of us! Tks so much for uploading it 💜

[@marcenho0924]

This is my most favorite part of your KZbin channel. I always wait for your evaluation of people speaking korean language. 😍😍😍

[@pankakiss9499]

I learn so much from these videos!! It's a whole new level of helpful And its incredibly motivating as well!

[@baby.buchi2255]

Geona, you’re great!! 🙏🏼 Billy 선생님, thank you for another helpful video! It was my first time to hear anything explaining intonation in Korean - it was an eye opener! Thank you!

[@dmitryd9013]

The tip about more air from mouth is what I have been looking for not for my Korean but for English. Now will apply it for both, thank you so much Billy. To an English native speaker it sounds quite easy and natural but for speakers of many other languages is a completely new feeling. Ur new subscriber

[@aera1776]

This whole series is amazing

[@ewew8690]

Desperately writing down notes from all these videos...this is so helpful

[@georgesomb3897]

Congratulations Giona!!! Thank you teacher!

Ive been living in korea for more than 2years now but I can’t even speak korean like her 🥲

[@tofichana8220]

Are you filipino?

[@luigieumilda]

Yeah bro I’m pinoy haha

[@eundongpark1672]

i really enjoy these videos

[@sn0wysumm3r]

The point about how non-native speakers (including myself) tend to use filler sounds like “uhh” or “umm” - I didn’t notice this until you said it! Will pay more attention to it now when listening to native speakers speak! Thank you for your analysis, Billy! It’s really helpful! And thanks to Geona too!!!

[@grubbilove6338]

Hi Teacher Billy. Are you still doing these type of videos? I find it interesting.

[@GoBillyKorean]

Yes, but I currently do more videos analyzing celebrities/artists these days. They're all in the same playlist.

[@jk_jnbts8708]

So helpful Thank you..🙂 I always watch your video 🤗

@@annablue431 Yes, it's me! Lol. Yeahhh I feel like SJ will keep going for a long long time especially now that they have Label SJ.

[@annablue431]

@@ohmygeona That's why it's better to learn korean hahaha I've been telling myself the same for years 😆

[@ohmygeona]

@@annablue431 Definitely! I started learning because back then it was so hard to find subtitles for SJ shows. I thought to myself I got to learn this so I can watch. Now I can watch their showz as soon as they come out. No need to wait for subs! It's super convenient too for things like vlive or Leeteuk's Kiss the KZbin.

Do you think you would ever make a video about intonation? I'm working on that with my Italki tutor but it's still a bit hard. And it seems, that I don't see many video addressing this subject. I love all your tips and will have to remember them!

[@GoBillyKorean]

I've given tips here and there in various videos, but I don't have one video about only intonation yet. That's because there aren't rules for intonation like there are for pronunciation. It all depends on the person. Basically though one thing that can help is shadowing someone.

[@DesertRoses]

@@GoBillyKorean Ahh, thanks for letting me know! I wondered why I didn't find many videos on the subject.

[@__jxle1561]

I think I've also heard people say "어.." as filler a word. I've been doing that here and there since it's the closest to what I would normally say if I think about something but now I'm not sure if Koreans actually say that

[@minfirda2943]

"제가...그....." is more natural

Helloo

[@winnumber101]

I try to shadow 장동민 or 이광수-I think shows like The Genius or Society Game give better opportunity for shadowing them most other 예능 프로그램 because they sit down and explain their decision making & reasoning a lot more often

[@Queen-dl5ju]

all this series does.. piss me off that i'm not at their level... and light a fire in my belly...

[@winnumber101]

There’s always going to be people who’ve studied for longer than you-eventually you’ll nearly master the language though I bet. I know I still have a lot to improve upon to get to a soundly advanced level.
