I am a native English speaker but I just like watching these videos to support these guys. They're all so wholesome and have great chemistry.

Does anyone else watch the because of how adorable South African Chantelle is?

[@neomashaba7090]

Yessss😂

[@Mimeniia]

Chantelle's the kind of person Id love to have as a friend.

[@woozie7034]

7:15 Sam smiles, in his mind i've always had confidence ha ha

[@tomzito2585]

I caught that one too. 100 words in one subtle expression directly at the camera. British humour is often sharp, quick and subtle. You either get it or you miss it.

[@TheMrgreylee]

i just find sam extremely attractive.

[@gugumasondo192]

Me too 😍

[@trainerpam5646]

Same! I guess the accent hugely contributes to it (for me, that is). Haha! ^^

[@LER339]

May you all live long! Love you guys!💝

[@ashleyeichstadt8111]

As someone who is busy training to become a foreign language English teacher, these videos are so helpful! Also I'm from SA and Chantelle is awesome!

[@rin_is_fab]

i love and respect you all so much! i hope you guys are always safe and doing well🥺 thank you for your videos🙏🏽

[@tomzito2585]

What a fun topic and video! There are so many phrases ("going out"), idioms (have a "crush"), and euphemisms ("sleeping" with) in the dating and relationship realm that you guys could make a series of these. It would be interesting to hear if and how any of these expressions exist in Korean culture, and how the courting/dating norms differ between English-speaking countries and Korea. If I might offer a constructive suggestion, in the spirit of this being a learning channel, to consider updating the title to say "vocabulary" instead of "vocabularies". Vocabulary is one of those tricky English collective nouns. A vocabulary is a list, set, or collection of words and phrases. Vocabularies (plural) would refer to more than one set of words. In this case, the topic is about one set of words that relates to dating and relationships, so "Vocabulary and Expressions on Dating & Relationships" would be more clear. I enjoy this channel and the team who make it possible, so I hope that feedback is helpful.

Idk who might need this, anw you're really amazing and your life matters. Just stay the way you are, you deserve everything in this world. Also you guys are doing a great job I like all of your videos, GOOD LUCK :)

Ha ha ha so true!!!! And you can tell from episode one who's gonna get the 'zone!

[@babylion1810]

Usually yes but when I watched dream high it was different

[@Mrs.Silversmith]

The term "chemistry" is also used to refer to how natural interactions between actors seem in films and television.

[@shivanjanisharma8462]

Always nice videos guys. Have a healthy and pretty life.

[@c.f.l.4069]

I LOVE SAM AND JOHN. SO SO SO HANDSOME!!!

[@joankim6913]

I really enjoy watching their videos!! I'm really learning a lot of things such as vocabulary and phrases. Also, it's really fun to see how they talk and interact with one another. Thank you, Chantelle, Sam, and John! :))))

[@leanderinosanto7846]

Going steady It is like when your relationship has now progressed past the courting phase and you are now boyfriend and girlfriend.

[@rudipittaway8800]

I was friend zoned once😂😬 But to be fair...they were out of my league 😂😝

[@christinapaz2844]

As an American, I'd love to know what the perspective is concerning exclusivity and dating in Korea. Is it different than what our perspectives on it are?

[@lifeofjohn3993]

Yeah it's definitely different. There are a lot of subtle differences but in regards to exclusivity it's a bit more cut and dry here. Typically by the third date people have that talk about what they are to each other. Basically you get two, maybe three dates to decide on going steady or not and then after that you either stop dating or become official. Open relationships are also extremely rare.

[@WillavellarDoesMc]

Good chemistry is when you MIX well! Like mixing things! Like in chemistry! D'y'u get it? 😂

[@erik_carter_art]

Sam: "Long D? Yeah, I've heard that." 😆Oh, I believe you! 😍

[@sarahmoellenberg]

I've never heard long d being used in a relationship context so that's good to know. I would be interested to know how dating is different in Korea compared to other places. Thanks for making this video! I'm going to use it with some of my clients to help explain concepts for the ones who are struggling with them.

[@keandric2765]

Lol that was a funny part. I totally started giggling along with Chantelle XD :))

[@sarahmoellenberg]

@@keandric2765 I choked a little on my water. I was not expecting that to be part of this video but I'm glad it was lol

[@pagodaone_5697]

Got it !!

[@eideanbotha8655]

I really enjoyed this video 😁😁 the whole exclusive thing kind of surprised me, but I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to dating. This was very interesting

[@britbc4461]

DTR= define the relationship. When you are in a sticky situation and need to figure out if you are casual or exclusive. Usually you don't say this to the person you are dating, but to a friend when they are dating but unsure hot serious. "Girl.. you need to DTR!"

[@adamwarlock1]

Very important to DTR if you're in an LDR (or long d).

[@umutdemir5722]

7:14 why Sam is smiling? 😅

[@princemaktho]

Me, with no relationship experience watching this 👁👄👁

[@romguid]

We use the term "taken" a lot. E.g., She's already taken. This means that someone is already off limits or someone is exclusively dating someone or someone is in a relationship. "Lead someone on" in my country may translate to "paasa" which means giving someone hope or implying but there's no hope in fact :( This term may be use not exclusively on relationship. "You can only be a friend" (John, 2020). This is a good description of friendzone. Chemistry means you're a good fit or you're a good mix. Bad chemistry means bad mix.

[@amywolf5400]

First one here😭❤️ ok let me actually watch the video now 😂

[@bolormaalkhangaajav6704]

[@AliffDelacoure]

I've never heard of "date exclusively" before! That's pretty new.

[@rayt.3143]

We hear it often here in the US.

[@PS-vm3we]

These videos are super with such great chemistry between the guys, but I think you should change the title of the video - vocabulary as an uncountable mass noun.

[@pagodaone_5697]

Oh! My mistake. Thank you😆

[@beccaroyce675]

I wanted to se Walter's face🌼😍😍 Anyway this was a very interesting topic

[@shanz5122]

Hi I am Shannon from South Africa 🇿🇦 😂 Love the videos 😁🙌🏻 My question is off topic from video but I would like to know how you all got involved in teaching in South Korean? I know there is a video on why and your expectations. I would just like to know what is the process and what one could do to apply etc ☺️

[@lifeofjohn3993]

I think we all have our personal stories why we came here. We might have filmed something talking about this a bit, but we could probably do a whole video on our history ha ha! Thanks for the idea!

[@livingaschantelle2997]

I would recommend having a look online - there’s so much great information on the process! Start by getting together the documentation you need (and you need to have a degree), then look into schools/companies to work at and take it from there. 😃

[@shanz5122]

Chantélle Steyn thank you so much! This means a lot. I will definitely do that 😁 I appreciate the response 😁

[@shanz5122]

[@DEE-rd2rc]

most guys don't mind. nothing wrong with being in the friend zone . there's always a chance to swoop in 😎

[@4624Denise]

Ah, in my day :-).....being exclusive was equal to "going steady". The guy usually asked the girl and then she would wear his high school class ring wrapped with lots of fuzzy yarn because it would obviously be too big for her :-D. Or she could wear it around her neck. And if he didn't have a class ring yet (we got ours as juniors in high school) then he could give her a ring from a "bubble gum" machine that had very cheap jewelry in it. When I was in eighth grade I got one of these but I broke his heart and told him I didn't want to go steady :-). Oh, and you didn't have to date a lot to go steady; a guy could just ask out of the blue.

[@lifeofjohn3993]

I don't think people do that these days huh? No more fuzzy rings....

[@shelbyfries8304]

Sometimes mature or older persons who are still single and dating or maybe a widow or divorcee👨👩..it can sound odd or awkward to call each other "boy"-friend and "girl"-friend."👦👧 For example, my Aunt started dating a guy when she and he were 50+ yrs of age. So, instead of introducing him as her "boyfriend," she would call him, "My Significant Other" or "My Beau."

[@jakeryan4545]

Also partner (if a serious relationship). This was usually in the third person, but I feel like the opposite of beau, would be lady friend. As in "your uncle is inviting his lady friend to the BBQ, what is her name again?"

[@reckoner5650]

"Dude! She's out of your league. Don't even go for it" Sam: "Yeah i've heard that HAHAHAH NOOO

[@IceMetalPunk]

Is "friendzone" still a controversial term? I remember a time pretty recently when people assumed "friendzone" was a complaint based on an expectation of a relationship that was "owed" to them, and those who used it would get attacked for it. Is it now acceptable to use the term?

[@adamwarlock1]

I think using it descriptively is okay ("I was in the friendzone, so I moved on"), but talking about how to avoid it or get out of it can get unpleasant because it sounds like the speaker is trying to trick someone into being attracted to them.

[@lifeofjohn3993]

Yeah I think its based on context now. I think it definitely can be used in a derogatory way but doesn't have to be. However, I still tend to not use it in my everyday life

[@adamwarlock1]

@@lifeofjohn3993 I saw a pretty good comedy sketch somewhere where a woman shifts a man to the "benefits zone". I.e. she'll get physical with him, but doesn't wan't talk to him, eat with him, or be seen with him, and he decides he was happier in the "friend zone". (Can't find it now of course.)

[@trainerpam5646]

In the Philippines, we call it "courting." Here if you say "you're dating someone" it means you're already A COUPLE a.k.a. dating exclusively so when we were introduced to the Western dating culture (via American TV and Movies), it was somehow a shock. LOL. So here if you're dating different people it already means it's cheating. But I guess things are changing now and we're slowly adapting to the Western style of dating.
