Thanks so much for your feedback, Billy! An honour to be featured.

[@GoBillyKorean]

You're welcome! And thank you for sending in your video Ryan! :D

[@cozyfinance]

Thank you Ryan for sharing your video! I’m sure it took a lot of courage to make it and submit it. You did an awesome job. Goals 👏🏽

[@osnapitzarly]

I haven't seen the video yet but I already know it's going to be great!

[@lucassebastianvlog6143]

Hope someday I can speak Korean..😔

[@unclemoriarty1436]

you're language goals!! 🙌 im inspired to study Korean harder after watching this. i have a question about a word you used around 16:44 "...가지고". i've heard ppl say that and the Korean subtitles put "어/아서" instead, so im guessing it's similar to that meaning or at least more casual version of the same thing. but could you explain what it means? ive been searching for a grammar lesson on that and i can't find anything 😭

[@ZomBeadsCL]

I know this video was mostly about Ryan, but man, huuuuuuuuuuuge props to Kenji for having the courage to expose himself to such a big audience, it's not easy to do something like that, and being only a month and a half in? he's on a great way

[@bagsik9251]

I hope Kenji can see this comment. I would like to extend my regards to him. I am a Filipino too and been studying Korean near 6 months already. I've also found out that Kenji is a Once too, and so do I!

[@kevinrosenau7048]

Huge props to Kenji, I wouldn't have had the courage to expose myself like that when I was this early in my studies. Hell, I'm even now hesitating of submitting a clip but Kenji and Ryan really did a good job here

[@annaliisavirro]

This is amazing feedback! Ngl I want Ryan to make his own YT channel. How he learns Korean etc. 😄

[@ryan_job_]

That's very flattering! I'm not sure how much I have to share, to be frank. I mostly just hang out watching and reading Korean stuff. 😅 Maybe one day!

[@alvinelectronics3414]

I went here after kristel vlog

[@unclemoriarty1436]

oh wow Kenji is incredible! not only is his Korean good, he is so brave for sharing that after such a short amount of time!! ive been studying Korean for a little over 2 years and the thought of filming a video and sending it to anyone, let alone a teacher, is pretty nerve-wracking. and ive even lived in Korea, too. huge props to you Kenji! you inspire me to be brave in my language learning. i predict you'll advance in your Korean quickly, with how willing you are to push yourself out of your comfort zone. 화이팅!

[@missmzbungee7173]

I'm from the Philippines too. Kenji is amazing. I've been studying Korean for more than a year now and still hasn't found the confidence. As for the 오 어 sound, I definitely find it hard too. When speaking Tagalog or especially both of my native tongue (other Philippine languages), I don't even notice or care much about the difference of o and u. Learning Korean made me more aware of that. 오 우 어 is still hard for me now.

[@derpderp9281]

All these people are so amazing, Ryan's Korean sounds so good, I wouldnt know how to grade him XD it's perfect to me And Kenji!!! 1 month and you already sent a video, that's a great step already! it was great too, I've been studying longer and wouldn't dare to do it yet, I should follow your steps

[@HelenNERD]

Kenji!!! amazing confidence!!! I've been learning Korean for about a year and a half and I wish I had your confidence!!! Keep going!!! 파이팅!!!

[@mabellemasapol9979]

Hi Billy. I'm here because of Kristel Fulgar. I watch here latest vlog. On her channel. She said she learned a lot about korean just because she always watch your videos. That's why I subscribe to your channel coz I want to learn some of korean language.too. thanks for this videos. God bless 🥰

[@cozyfinance]

Thank you Billy for taking the time to do these videos. I love them

[@stupidnerdy4591]

kenji being so cute when he nervous lmao imma imagine myself sending a vid of me speaking korean probably gonna start it with 안녕하세라고 and mix everything XDDDDD (yes that's not a real word )

[@MichelleLibantino]

Im here because of Kristel Fulgar! ❤️ I've been decided to learned korean language, i know how to write and read hangeul but sometimes some of phrases confused me, and kristel fulgar recommend this channel and now im thankful i found this youtube channel ❤️

[@baby.buchi2255]

Really love this series, Billy! :) Super helps people like me who are self studying. Thank you!

[@bluetangerinebb]

Both were amazing! Thanks for this series Billy! ^^

[@mariamoldrickx02]

Awesome job!!👏👏 So inspiring and fun to watch^^

[@georgesomb3897]

Congrats Ryan and Kenji, you inspire me a lot and i´m sure a lot of more people as well. Keep it up! Thank you Billy for bringing this awsome videos.

[@ohmygeona]

This is so helpful! I keep using run on sentences when I speak. I'll try to apply that to make my Korean better. Also, way to go Ryan and Kenji!

[@samuelcoates3339]

You go Ryan and Kenji!!🇰🇷💪🏾

[@leighwalton959]

Loved this!

[@orchidsarepretty1422]

Hi billy I just want to thank you! I’m going to order your book and I’m so happy to have found channels that help me learn this beautiful language! (Yours and miss Vicky’s) I’m planning on using her videos and your books for my learning. So just thank you! This is my first few days learning the language. Much love ❤️

[@reimihara21]

just bought your first book :D can't wait to start learning xD the writing i mastered easily watching your video on it. I just need some help with pronouncing them correctly. it's kinda different from what i'm used to from Japanese(been studying it for 15 years)

[@mermaidmoon8967]

Kenji was so cute!!! And wow sending in a video after studying for a month. That is crazy confidence!

[@robanisz1492]

라이언분 한국어 겁나 잘하네.. ‘그때’ 같은 단어를 마지막에 넣는 게 더 생활한국어같아서 그런지 더 자연스럽게 들림. 발음도 그렇고 내가 본 외국인중 젤 잘하는듯 노력 대단해용

[@Taradays]

Ohh yes Billy that's why I could never understand your older KZbin videos. So fast speaking!! At least these days we have automatic CC.

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

Good job, Ryan!

[@Yyaamy]

Thanks a lot for your video😊 your so kindness❣️

[@nguyenthienhuy6407]

Maybe in a year I will send in a video 👁👄👁 Love these videos and your channel in general. Love the books you made as well!

Amazing, both Ryan and Kenji 😁👏 ive been learning for over a year and im no where near as Kenji is😅😅

[@jasanawngmarip7610]

Good job 😊🙂😍

눈 감고 들으면 한국인이 말 하는 것 같아요. 정말 유창하게 잘 하시네요 👍

[@ardeeeeem]

New subscriber here. Thanks to Kristel Fulgar for the recommendation. 👍

[@hakimmaro]

15:58 That sounded so similar to the recorded voice of the IPA chart to the point that I thought you're the one who recorded the vowel pronunciation for the chart. 😆

[@khaimapostol962]

안녕하세요 선상님 빌리! I remember you made a video saying learning grammar with kpop isn't ideal. Maybe an idea for a video series is looking at some kpop songs and interpreting each lines faulty grammar and recommend how to say it?

[@GoBillyKorean]

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to do that due to copyright issues.

[@khaimapostol962]

@@GoBillyKorean oh does the copyright also extend to just reading the lyrics out?

[@GoBillyKorean]

@@khaimapostol962 Yes, the lyrics are copyrighted.

[@Stan_sprinkle]

Props Kenji. I’ve been lazily learning Korean for 10 years, lived in korea for 7 years… I still get nervous to speak it. :)

[@malaypzzzang4708]

Shout out to Kenji man. Takes alot of courage to record something you've only been learning for a month and a 1/2.

[@otherworldRestaurant]

Almost korean 👍 👍

[@soomintdb7456]

Annyeonghaseo, newbie here

[@Maja-bh9ei]

these videos make me feel so stupid since i'm learning korean so slowly hahah

[@GoBillyKorean]

Nah, everyone learns differently - not just at different speeds but in different ways. It's better to compare yourself to yourself in the past, and not to others who are learning a completely different way than you might be.

[@unclemoriarty1436]

can anyone help explain a word that i heard around 16:44 ? "...가지고". it sounds related to "어/아서" but i don't understand the nuance. is it a slang thing?

[@GoBillyKorean]

It's a spoken version of "because" that's similar to the ~서 form. I talk about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4i6ipSlhtFqd6M

[@unclemoriarty1436]

@@GoBillyKorean thank you so much! I've been looking for a vid on this for the longest time 😭😍

[@ladyevenstar22]

By the way Billy, in English it's I've been studying Korean for 3 yrs ...not since 3 yrs ( I taught English as a substitute)

[@GoBillyKorean]

Are you referring to a specific part of this video?

[@Peachi101]

Would this be ok to use? 저는 한국어를 2년 정도 공부해 왔는데 실력이 좀처럼 늘지 않아요

[@GoBillyKorean]

Yes, it's fine.

[@Peachi101]

@@GoBillyKorean Thank you!

Me: doesn’t it make sense to put spaces in between each word? Also me: *forgot that we’re talking about Korean, in which seemingly nothing is easy* 😂😂😂 Thank you for this video!! ❤️❤️

I want to leave a comment to Ryan and Kenji both. I'm not an English speaker so my English is not good. Please be understanding of that. [to Ryan] 8:54 그거 사과사(社 : company) 꺼잖아요! It's the Apple company's one! 빌리 선생님께 사과하세요! You should apologize to Billy! Just a Korean joke :) (사과 : apple, apology...) [to Kenji] 13:49 저도 만나서 반가워요! Nice to meet you too! 한국어를 한달 반 공부했다고는 믿을 수 없을 정도네요! I cannot believe that you learned Korean for about one and a half months!

[@smilinarosy558]

I'm not advanced, but I wonder if I can try and send you my recording? Pleaaaase
