LEARN TO READ KOREAN (IN 5 MINUTES)

Earlier this year I got the opportunity to travel to Seoul, South Korea to compete in a memory competition.
While I don't speak a single word of Korean, I was able to learn how to read the written language. It's actually fairly easy! Just watch this 5ish minute video and you'll have the basics to read Korean!*
*(there are a few other characters I left out for the sake of brevity, but you can research those small details on your own if you so choose).

This is the most effective / clever way I've ever seen for learning a language writing system 👍👍👍👍

[@Monotoss]

반갑습니다. I’m Korean. In fact, Korean language is scientifically made to sound almost all of sounds including onomatopoeia while even some of consonant itself resembles the shape of throat, oral structure or shape of lips when it’s pronounced.

[@accel_3982]

I feel sad I cant read the first word u said Bangabsoobneeda is what i can understnad with notes of this video its probably thank you in korean tho haha

[@soda9121]

@@accel_3982 I think it means "Nice to meet you"

[@soda9121]

Also I'm happy I could read it :) Don't give up! I'm sure you'll be able to read it with practice

[@roshanpsunar9706]

Hey! It's great that you can speak English. And I'm learning korean language these days. It would be great if you helped me on how to do the progress.

[@odorlessflavorless]

This is actually insane!!!! Simply awesome

[@charlesh7021]

im tryen to learn korean and this is one of the best ways i seen it showen. thanks for the video.

[@eulaliacampelo]

Oh gosh, at the beginning I was like "no way I'm gonna get this... english is not even my first language to get this stuff easily, even less when it's korean information!" Also me: manages to get all the example words right * Me again: Is ThAT mAgiC?! Sir, honestly, thank you so much for such an amazing content, I'm so grateful to have gotten to know your channel, btw thanks to Ali ;-;❤

[@fredcrimson]

I never thought that could be so simple to read Korean symbols. It's very interesting to learn different alphabets using this technique. I need to do something similar to Russian. Since I don't study it, I always get confused when I want to read something... Another great video! Love your editing 😁

[@As2ronaut]

Simply include the imagination during memorization, also many letters are similar in writing and sounding with English.

[@augustinequek974]

5 minutes? You actually did it in four! including the example words at the end.

[@MicDiazPresents]

Hi Nelson! I came across your channel from the NYC Couple! I learned Hangeul in one afternoon and memorized it really quickly. The sound for ㅜ is "oo". Thanks for sharing!

[@krisbsf8877]

At first, I thought this was going to be a useless technique, but now, everytime I look at ㄱ, I think Gun. It really is quite useful, despite my first impression

[@erkanbatti]

[@dailydoseofkpopvideos2740]

This is amazing... But how do you read it out.. like it makes sense...

[@aimeesalve5232]

Insane. 🎆

[@utkualtinok2642]

Lesson stars at 1:24 and ends at 4:40, so you learnt Korean in 3 minutes 16 seconds. Efficiency.

[@lililovenini2152]

I cant believe how easy this is Like really. First I thought it was hard then I be like Waaaah rn

[@inputname000]

Haha it definitely gave me a shock and good laugh. But is this a good way to learn Korean seriously (just to communicate)? Has anyone tried?

[@boredperson4443]

[@xmelaniex4428]

...I’m pretty sure he got this technique from this person who came up with this kzbin.info/www/bejne/inaXlqOiqKuGo9U In this video are the original words

[@michaeljackieson7414]

Its because centuries ago, korean's leader thought Japanese (the alphabet the used at the the time) was too hard, so they made the hangul alphabet (korean) and it became the official Korean alphabet.

[@johnwick7488]

i believe you meant chinese alphabet, not japanese. i'm here because of the deep rooted tree korean drama that tells of how this hangul system was created.

[@michaeljackieson7414]

Thw thumbnail is litteraly Gangnam
