As a heritage speaker (i.e. someone who grew up speaking Korean under Korean immigrants and not having formal Korean education), it's so interesting to see how much I've learned to use some of these words wrong because native Korean speakers use them wrong too! (I guess it's just like how English speakers get well and good wrong all the time or me and I.)

[@jayme3557]

Learning Spanish was that way for me. In Texas we have "Tex-Mex" everything, but in school, our Spanish classes are taught in Castilian Spanish and it's even a little different from Mexican Spanish, of course.... Just like American English is so vastly different from any other country that has English as their main language. So my point was that learning Spanish one way in school versus the way people who live here, or wherever, is funny because you have to pick up on what could Slang for words that should be used correctly, he was trying to get across in the video. And just like he was describing ni-ga and ne-ga, American English speakers are notorious for the misuse of Homophones, words sounding like other words, but spelled differently. Plus English has a mind blowing number of words that sound like 2 or 3 words, but are actually 1 word, and then we have hyphenated and conjunction words that throw EVERYONE off!! I can safely say that I'm thankful my mother was an English teacher 😂😂😂

[@emmyhaneul]

I had a sort of conversation lesson the other day and the Korean who was the teacher there was like "I am not sure whether to write 되요 or 돼요, what's the difference between these two.... and then it came me, the Korean learner, who was like "I'm quite sure 되다 becomes 돼요" ㅋㅋㅋ An other common mistake I have witnessed since day 1, is that some Koreans were trying to teach me to use 에요 (like 엠미에요) instead of 예요 (엠미예요). I know that for the ease of pronunciation 예 is being pronounced as 에, but it is wrong to write a noun ending with a vowel + 에요. I know that as a Korean learner some people may feel frustrated if I make them notice they are doing mistakes in their own language, and of course I don't want to make anyone feel down... but I also don't want to be taught wrong, you know? Sometimes learners might know how to apply a grammar rule better just because we really studied it, I feel it like this... I just hope no one is getting offended

[@ToonMageChannel]

The reason why Koreans confuse 되요 and 돼요 might be because the subtle difference between 외 and 왜 is slowly dying and becoming unnoticeable.

[@emmyhaneul]

@@ToonMageChannel makes sense... the language is always changing throughout time

[@blitzy_girl]

yes ㅚ+어 = always 왜 쬐다·쫴 뵈다·봬 되다·돼

[@9cumsu]

Well, because 이 in 이다 is often omitted after a vowel-ending nouns (e.g. 친구니까, 엄마지?, 어제라서), some people thinks that 엠미에요 is the better spelling which is also omitting 이, although the orthography now used says that 엠마예요 is correct, because they think it's odd that they aren't omitting 이 only when you say 예요. Such person is not making a mistake, but have a say to the orthography.

[@emmyhaneul]

@@9cumsu I learnt that is a mistake though (you can say orthography mistake), also my 한국어 선생님 confirmed me so (not the one mentioned above), so I dunno 🤷🏼‍♀️ I trust my teacher as she is a professional 😅

[@양지혜-i3h]

This was such a helpful video 현우 선생님! I would also add 에요 (incorrect) vs. 예요 (correct), as well as 몇일 (incorrect) vs. 며칠 (correct) as some mistakes that I've seen many Koreans make even though I'm just a beginner. 이런 영상을 더 해주시면 좋겠어요! 엄청 유용한 거예요!

[@ban6096]

As a language teacher, I really appreciate your pointing out what we shouldn't say and the mistakes native speakers make. Of course, it's the same in English, for example, when a native speaker says liberry instead of library. Or sometimes, native speakers say and write, ' The truck was in close proximity to the bank. 'Proximity' already means close by so the word 'close' is redundant. Thanks a lot for all of your efforts.

[@Gmoneygrime]

Thank you. I have been self taught for a while now. You guys have definitely been very helpful and your books are great. I find allot of native speakers want me to speak like a casual speaker. They have a hard time understanding as to why I would prefer to sound like a book. Please more videos like this.

It's funny that everyone makes mistakes in their native language and it's fine (unless there are too many mistakes but I'm not talking about non-educated people) but somehow, it feels like a complete disaster when we make even the tiniest mistake in a language we learn!

Japanese has a similar structure that is actually a very humble way of speaking! (VNさせて下さい vs. VN시켜 주세요) I know I have definitely thrown in a 시켜 주세요 thinking it would have the same effect in Korean! I'm glad to know (now) that it doesn't mean what I think it means!

[@iamwhoeveryouwantmetobe]

It always fascinates me how every child can learn a language without focusing too much on grammar😂 Also, I think that all people in every single country always make mistakes even with their native language. I recently made a mistake while talking to my mother (using our NATIVE LANGUAGE🥲), which she corrected, and it's kinda funny because the sentence has a very different meaning that what I was trying to convey. So yeah, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake when learning a language because sometimes what's even more correct (for native speakers), is the WRONG one itself! They might even correct you if you use the correct grammar😂 What's important is that you are understood.

PA: The following examples in my original message are incorrect! Prime example of a native Korean speaker using incorrect Korean ☠️ 소개시켜 주세요 is commonly used to ask somebody to set you up with a person. 괜찮은 사람 있으면 소개시켜 주세요 (=If you know anybody (who’s nice), please set me up). Another common scenario is when you want to meet your friend, coworker, or an acquaintance’s partner and you’re asking them to introduce either you to them or them to you. If I have a coworker who has recently started dating and there’s a chance we can all go out for a drink and get acquainted, I can say “술 한 잔 하면서 남자친구 소개시켜 주세요.” I hope that helps!

[@talktomeinkorean]

What's interesting is, even in that case, 괜찮은 사람 있으면 소개해 주세요 is the correct way to say it, and 괜찮은 사람 있으면 소개시켜 주세요 is more like "If there's a nice person, please make that person introduce (something)" XD
