I am learning Korean myself now. I went into a 3 floors big bookstore here in Germany looked up the milk-glas-board-thingy in the middle of the 1 floor where to find language-books and than I awkwardly walked into the 3rd floor looked up where to find Korean or Japanese and at the same time I made a Japanese guy running away like if he thought : "Oh holly shit another one of those weird weaboos/Koreaboos" cause I was wearing a Big-bang shirt and had my backpack with me (wich is decorated with Kpop- and anime-pins and keychains xD and with unicorns, a foxtail, pins of my most favourite drawing/manga-artist (she is from Germany and really famouse here) and a golden duck-pin of a rainbowcolored duck and yeah^^) ) and than the last thing I heard from the Japanese guy after he saw me is that he yelled in the direction of a cashier: "Sayonara, I don't need anybooks..." and after I took a Korean book (with a lot of parts in it to work in the book where you for example have to write 6 things you can find in a hotelroom or where you have to match hangul and romanasations ^^) and the chashier was funny. As he saw wich book I wanted to buy he yelled at me: "Annyeonghaseo, my sister is making her master in the Korean studies here at the local university. Are you sure, you want to buy this book?" I was arguing with him that my family is full of awsome people (a cousin of me who is half English/half German and is fluently in both languages taught herself spanish, italian, french, swedish, portugese, polish, dutch, norwegian and she even made her driving liscense in spanish and is lives now in spain. An aunt of me wich is from france is speaking fluently english french and German, but German with a little ascent and she can speak dutch and polish. Another aunt of me speaks fluently German English and french and she worked for the English military in a nurseryschool and even became the manager of it with extremly good grades on her exam that she made for it in English (yes she made everything in the English language, even if she, as my mom said was allways horrible in English back as she was a teenager...) I have an other cousin he can speak German, English, Polish, French, Hungarian and a bit of Thai) and so I told him: "Even if I suck at this, I try, cause it could work for me cause my family is good in languages...") and than he smiled back at me and said: "OK, well... good luck and I hope you oneday get it and maybe you onday get the change to travle to Korea..." xD

TTMIK is AMAZING. Hyunwoo is an AMAZING teacher! They also have a KZbin channel called TalkToMeInKorean which is amazingly useful too.

[@MrSlyGamer]

An AMAZING way to get a pen-pal is the website italki. You can talk to Korean natives and practice your Korean and they can correct it. Great way to make friends too.

[@urbansketch94]

It was cool hearing you speak Korean in your Winter Tag video; it's so good for someone who's been speaking for such a short time! Makes me wonder what happened with Simon and Martina. They've been in Korea for a while and they still sound like tourists using a beginner's handbook.

[@Edward_Avila]

LMAO THE SHADE.....i love it

[@Ladyniona]

+urbansketch94 Real talk I think it's because they surround themselves with English speakers. I've been watching them since 2010 and all their friends speak English.

[@AlfredFJones-rh4cq]

+Akeia Webb That's very true and I also tend to notice married couples who move abroad rarely learn a language at the rate single people do. I guess going out and dating Korean people also really helps. LOL

[@shayd7852]

OMFG I SEE IT

[@KimmyGibson]

Curious to know.....when studying to learn Korean, at what point do you become mindful of learning/using formal vs. non-formal? I watch a lot of kdrama and they always make it seem important. So, do you choose to learn one and then the other or does it not matter? Thank you!

[@Edward_Avila]

I think its super important. Learn it from the beginning haha

[@chimchim3526]

+Edward Avila how long did it took you to learn it?

[@watermelonqueen1755]

So you're not Korean? sorry I'm a new subscriber

[@kristynchan6903]

+Watermelon Queen you can tell by his last name lol. he isn't korean

Thank you so much, you have no idea how helpful this is to me 😊

[@jraclark7506]

You're my new fave youtuber!!!!!

[@heygodareyouready]

Integrated Korean (by Hawaiian Press) is a really good series. I learned most from Yonsei Uni's Korean books. Also having a good balance between speaking with Korean friends AND learning from text books is really crucial imo. Speaking with natives helps develop a good pronunciation and more natural speech, while following text books will help you to spell properly and avoid grammar mistakes etc. Also the Yonsei books are amazing for explaining exactly what the sentences consist of and how to use new verbs etc. It's pretty brilliant!

[@domsanchez8382]

Love your videos!!!! Keep making more stuff outside of your house, it's interesting to see what else you're up to in Korea!!!!

[@michellehenriques9164]

Oh yay!! I'm on the right track. I'm already doing all that you recommended and I even went an extra step and got a tutor. And while I can speak, write, and understand Korean, I'd definitely would like my spoken conversation skills to get much better. Maybe if I wasn't surrounded by English everyday my Korean speech would be more fluent. Guess I'll just have to try harder. Thanks for this video, I feel better about my learning process. 새해 복 많이 받으세요!

[@Leerill]

Glad to hear the ttmik course is good; was about to buy their books! Thanks for the video man.

[@chaaaany]

wow thanks for the recommendations! i've been wanting to learn korean, but i know immersion is definitely not going to work for me seeing as i'm a million miles away, but i'll definitely look into these books. :)

[@itspatslife]

I like your personality. and I like the color of your hair. did you dye it yourself or you had it done at a salon??? :)

[@Crazylilfool]

Helpful! Thanks Eddy!! Those books are affordable love it!!! I needed new books

[@rachelholladay2102]

Thank you so much for this website. The only resource I knew of before this was Duolingo, which helps with basics, and a general understanding of sentence structure, but I wasn't really getting anywhere. I've been on the website for about a half hour, and know way more than months of Duolingo has taught me. 10/10. Would recommend.

[@___thebutterflyofficial___5825]

Aaaah Edward you're the best youtuber i ever watshed you're the best stay safe love you so much and i'll support you forever everytime don't forget to smile💕

[@cheyenne4719]

Thank you so much for posting this video! This is what I have been needing!

[@Naomiiiii]

I ordered "Korean From Zero" off of Amazon. So far it's helped me a lot in the month I've had it. It's really thick, they two more installments in that series. I do want to also purchase "Talk To Me In Korean" books because I want to go over everything with different source material and I really like the aesthetic of the books hahaha. But their website is nice and I do like the layout of the audio lessons.

[@thaliawaters]

what's happened to the eat your kimchi cafe now they've gone to Japan??

[@kimora7235]

The grammar in this

My favourite way to learn vocabulary is Memrise, but there's not much on grammar there

[@purpl3dahl1a]

I'm gonna check that out - thank you and I really love your makeup tutorials 😁

[@iamkiraaaaaaa]

I really needed this . Thanks ♡

[@Gabby-tv5re]

I just came from one of your most recent vids, I totally forgot you had to learn Korean... You are so fluent now omg

[@emilyrini6329]

watching this made me motivated to start studying korean more hahah! i already learned the entire hangul alphabet and can even hold simple convos.... but the program i was using was not that good once i got past the basics, so i really need to check these out.

[@karinaymejia]

[@zoewtang]

this was really informative thanks i have bought the beginners learner pack but haven't had the chance to learn korean as i am studying my last year of a degree course and working part-time. but a lot of the information in this video was essential.

[@ile.h1919]

I completely agree with the idea of immersion, I only learnt french/became fluent when I moved to france (I was six tho) and was going to a french school (I only just moved to the uk tho & I'm sixteen). Also, I find it really hard to sit down and learn a language if I'm surrounded by a different one. Another thing I should say is if you don't practice the language/use it, you'll lose it REALLY QUICKLY. Spanish was my second language when I was small and I spoke it fluently but now I can't speak it at all because none of my siblings spoke it. Ooof that was long x)

[@MrSlyGamer]

Great video! x.x So useful!

[@yourfellowari9850]

thank you for making this video. I just signed up with them and started learning.

[@sophiawells3842]

Thank you so much Edward! This is so helpful!

[@claudiamongeau873]

this is so helpful and thank you so much! immersion defiantly helps, I have to do that with learning French but I'm not really sure how to do this fully with Korean culture in America which sucks but thank you for the tips! and ilysm

[@keepcalmandstaysweet]

video was great for beginners!thanks alot:) My major is korean language and literature in university so we are using Yonsei University's books at the moment.If someone want to learn korean easily this books are pretty good at it.They are actually pretty expensive to order from Korea to other countries but they can teach so well.They are in both english and korean so everyone can use so easily.My first language is not english but the books are not that hard to understand:) thanks for the video,xx

Yaaaas I used talktomeinkorean too to learn a little bit of korean. It's cool that you learned it so quickly and I definitely agree that immersion is totally key when trying to learn how to speak a language. Hahaha gotta do that with my Tagalog cuz my American accent be thick af when I try to talk to my fam in Tagalog.

i got the level 1 grammar book and work book, so i'm hoping to become a little bit more better at hangul. ^^' i'll be saving up to buy the other books as well!

[@MirandaPbgl]

being immersed in the language really helps. i taught myself hangul in a day and i can form full sentences. the only thing i have problems with is being confident when i speak it. also kpop helped a lot but I'm still learning and self teaching so that i can perfect it. btw i love your hair!😊

[@hr981]

I am thinking about studying korean in university and i have to live a year in korea in one semester. I know basic korean words but i still lack, so this video helped me alot! I'll order those books for sure. I am planning to visit seoul before i study to see how i like it there tho.

[@pleaseacceptmysagwa]

You should get a Rat's Tail to practice really current Korean slang and idioms. (it's not so much like those learn naughty time words in an exotic language, but actually words people use to express themselves online and with friends) It even tells you what formality and situation is appropriate to use ( some you can use with coworkers, some only with besties) Check it out!

[@chaosgirl3277]

I L.O.V.E. your make-up❤️ It looks so natural! Do you even wear make-up?😂❤️

[@jyk113077]

I am half Korean, and I know skin care is very important. I noticed that you are having some acne problems, and I know a way to fix it. Asian skin is very sensitive, so use these products to clear up your skin. Wash your face with warm to hot water with a Korean scrubbing cloth, while using Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, it's the orange gel soap. Use Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Wash, as a face shaving cream. Use these products for a month and a half, and see if it clears up your skin completely. If you have acne in your scalp, use Neutrogena Daily Control 2 in 1 Dandruff Shampoo Plus Conditioner. Standard washing products tend to irritate Asian skin very easily, and so these milder skin products are gentler on Asian skin.
