[@NataliaGarza]

[@lucie442]

Are you studying law? I want quite sure if I got that right? What will you do once you finish language school?:)

[@brandonjohnson7613]

I sincerely appreciate your honesty about how important it is being intermediate before going to a language school. I'm at Chonnam National University now, doing the level 1 language program for a semester. While it's incredible to be learning intensively (despite us never having any homework...) and of course it's great just being in Korea, sometimes I really wish I just waited till my Korean skills were approaching conversational, or at least very low intermediate. In hindsight, I wish more people like you were honest about how important it is to actually take learning the language very seriously before coming because it won't be any easier once you get here. Most importantly, the value of BEING IN KOREA is much less important for learning the language when you're still a beginner since you literally won't be able to have conversations with natives anways. You mainly just have to hit the books and build a BUNCH of vocab, which is something that can be done while at home.

for whole 1 year you onlyyyy learn korean lanugage.i mean your study started after 1 year as an international student ?

Congrats on 100k Natalia!! I’m so proud of you and your growth. So sad this is your last semester but I’m excited to see what the next chapter holds for you ❤

[@NataliaGarza]

Thank you so much!! haha I know~ It's sad but also I can't be a language student forever 😢 I am too!

[@nikitasantamaria]

This is why I love your videos, you're super informative about anything and everything we ask you, not to mention the aesthetic beauty of Korea. I love your Korean adventures as well and yes ill be sad to see you leave but a new chapter must begin as they say. Thank you for all you continue to do!

[@SomedayKorean]

That documentary looks really interesting! Definitely planning on checking it out. Also, your dress is so cute!

[@NataliaGarza]

It is!! I've watched it a few times now haha Mainly for study purposes, but several time nonetheless haha ALSO THANK YOU!!

[@calajane9881]

I've been using Ling Q for a while and I'm very satisfied with it. The importing feature is so amazing!!!

[@elizahn13]

Hi Natalia, I really appreciated the last few questions you answered! Through that I realized that I definitely do not study enough (lol) and I am kind of a little bit (just a little bit) jealous of the homework you were getting in level 5. In level 5 at Ewha, we don’t get much assigned homework, which I believe makes me a little lazy when it comes to studying. Can’t wait to see what comes next :)

[@naritoto]

I came to your channel to check you are ok. Praying for all of you there.

[@melwithluv5941]

Congrats on 100k and crazy how it’s a year since you started your Korean language school journey. I was wondering whether or not you went to the BTS concert and glad you did lol ^•^ Thanks for answering the questions too very helpful.

[@NataliaGarza]

I know~~ The next vlog is the last student vlog 😢 Haha yesss! I got lucky and was selected for the raffle!

[@melwithluv5941]

@@NataliaGarza best wishes with the last blog omg wow congratulations! 🎉🍾 that’s so cool!

[@SuzieLearnsKorean]

I have so many questions for you 😭... I hope you see it. 1. How's Korean churches???? 2. Do you plan on moving to Korea permanently? 3. What job can I get as an English student who is learning korean... like what job do you think will be best for me with good pay in korea? Thank youuuu

[@blueberry.milktea_]

In my country, New Zealand, we start education at 5. I find it interesting that other countries start at 6, and that people think its not the best decision even though its what i grew up with. Also I love the video its so informative, I like how im able to see whats in store for me if i do end up going to study at 고려대학교.

[@Sunoocheeks1111]

In finland we do at age 7.

[@k-danceyana5371]

Wow I started school at 4

[@limnaee1812]

Children go to school when they are 4 in the Netherlands. Primary school = 8 years, so they will be in year 1. Year 1 and 2 is mainly just playing tho. In year 3 they learn their letters when they are 6 years old. I am actually in Korea right now, started level 1! So I can imagine how emotional you would feel after so many levels of doing language school omg

[@rikibickie]

yea same here in the UK I was so surprised at the age in korea

[@kylastearns]

Just wanting to make sure you're ok 💕

[@NataliaGarza]

I'm fine!! I wasn't in Itaewon that evening! Thank you for checking on me~ ❤️

Congrats on 100k!! I don’t know when you hit it but I just noticed it soo..

[@estherandherlittleworld7821]

Thanks for the vlog and the answers! it's very interesting to know how everything works.

[@BellaBlubella]

LingQ reminds me of the Migaku extension for Anki! I really enjoy those kinds of programs and want to recommend them to all language learners!

[@charithforestperera2948]

Ello ello ❤️🇰🇷💐 great to see you again

Hon I cried. It's ok. millions of us are crying -- no shame in that... *hugs*

[@BBubblegum-ou5wq]

Love the video

[@NataliaGarza]

Ahhh I actually don't know much about the exchange program at Yonsei, but I can say that the one at KU seems pretty good based on what the exchange students I've met have told me~

[@WhitneyChakara]

Lmao “quickly power walk!” Same. Haha. I recently went back to visit (July) and the lady at twosome had my order memorized. I was there everyday of my short little trip. 🤣

[@ekaterini2957]

Noticed your necklace ;) ... just sending love from a fellow ARMY (yes, yes, the old-enough-to-be-your-mother-crazy ARMY from Houston) :))

[@japanesereadingandwriting]

수고하셨습니다.

[@WhitneyChakara]

Hmm I think the last minute thing is just normal. I would get notification that a students mom called and wanted a written report of their kids progress, right then! Then have to try to write a progress report. 😂

[@tranquilbakergentletraveller]

Hi Natalia! I really liked the outdoors Q&A 👏. I found it so interesting that your teachers/tutors could assign essays or presentations on a whim. It sounds a little bit unprofessional to me. I've done a lot of university study (in Australia) and there's always lots of advance notice regarding assessments and due dates. On another matter, it sounds like Korea is quite strict regarding language proficiency for foreign nationals. Do you know if it applies to all industries?

[@Molly-nd7xc]

I really want to study in Korea, but I'm already 21, and dropped out of uni in my home country after 3 months (studying media) because of life circumstances. I'm afraid I'll not have the capacity to study to an academic level again, or I'm too old. So I'm considering a language school over the summer. But after that, then what? I doubt I could return to Korea to study more permanently after that.

[@balkanbaroque]

You are not too old

[@ginapino2857]

You are never too old to learn! If you want to learn you will make it happen! Fighting!!

[@RyfkahChan]

I only started to attend uni at 21, so i'd say go for it

[@zellaidawn7404]

Is that a laptop or a tablet that you are using? I'm looking for a new laptop because my old one isn't work so well anymore. Also I really love your videos!! I love how you've done a mix of aesthetic and education/answering questions for your videos. I am currently trying to teach myself Korean and whenever I watch your vlogs I get super inspired. XD In the future I want to visit Korea but I am not entirely sure if I am going to live there. My decision highly depends on what happens in the next two years as I am currently 16 and working on getting a degree in business and theatre. (Hoping to maybe get a degree in international business.)

[@adarshcj1]

Can i get admitted to KU bachelors program directly after completing level 3 of korean language course in KU

[@domenicamrv]

hii, in min 36... how do you do that to write with the pen and then into word i think??

[@wajeehabukhari2k4]

From where did you buy the necklace you are wearing in this video?

[@imaginary-yl2cw]

I’m planning on attending sogang university for a the summer semester. (I wish I could stay longer 😢) You saying that there a lot of studying scares my a little bit because I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to send my weekends studying. Also any recommendations for places to visit/ go to while I’m in Seoul?

[@muhammadraheelashraf5939]

😊how much your tuition fee per semester? After completing 1st semester, did you get lowering in tuition fee for next semester?

[@szabinahorvath1632]

Any chance to stay n get a job in korea after complite language course there? If yes, how long has the course to be?

[@jemisworld9]

Can you please tell me if post a Language training at any of the unis in Korea, will I be able to get into a translation job or do I need I take up a separate translation course post the Korean course or side by side to get translation job? Kindly answr

[@ashishmakwana911]

In Korea English language is preferred by University ?

hi natalia! can you do a video for ku application dorm? the site it’s a mess 😢

What is that high-tech tablet you are using? Where can I find that? What brand? It looks nice.

[@user-edy324]

Hi Natalia, I applied for the language program last week. I wonder how would know if get accepted or not. Do I receive an email even if I am not accepted? I hope you to respond. Thank you!

[@Sunoocheeks1111]

Does anyone here studying/working in korea know if it is possible to do so and take your children with you without problems??? It is not like I would come with huge family it would be just me and my daughter.

[@ekaterini2957]

BTW excellent content -- I will unlikely ever get the chance to do what you are doing but if I were 20 years younger it would be a whole different ballgame....many thanks. I am hoping for you that are you are in the process of going on to either work in Korea or maybe attend graduate school there (since you have the undergrad degree, right?) -- but maybe those are my wishes and not yours. Praying for your every success...

Is it legal to make money if I freelance online as an artist or if I make money from youtube or webtoon (if on a d4 visa)?

[@MarisaC499]

Question for you Natalia, i want to start learning Korean, and i want to know how long it took you to learn Korean?

[@МаржанАлимжан-р4з]

hello! Is it possible to finish college and then enroll in language courses in Korea. And after that go to university in Korea. I would very much like to get your advice

[@NataliaGarza]

Yes! It is! Language schools here don’t care if you have a degree or not. They only care if you finished high school~

[@anyooj]

hey natalia, i LOVE THIS VID! just wondering tho, my mom said i need at least a 1500 SAT score and 10 AP classes to have a chance to go to KU. Is this true? I really want to go here but feel im not good enough now :( also, if i major in korean language/linguistics, is it all 4 years?

[@NataliaGarza]

I only attended KU as a language student, not as an undergraduate student. Also only the admissions office at KU knows what they look for (they don't share desired test scores, classes, etc), so I don't know why your mom would say that. Yes, a degree in Korean is a 4-year degree

[@khamaurirasheed9189]

Hey can I ask you a question

[@TJsElectricBookNook]

I'm jealous you went to the BTS concert. I got up at 4:00 in the morning to watch it and missed most of it because Weverse couldn't handle 24M people watching it. I enjoy your videos. I'm working on learning Korean so I can also study the Korean language (at SNU tho). Your vlogs are my favorite because I can see some of Korea before I'm old enough to (hopefully) move there.

I am 26 but actually I have a lot of older classmates ˆˆ

They should 100% lower the age to five. I went to school when I was five, kindergarten, and had already been flipping through books from the library since I was three and using computers. Five is plenty old enough , good grief.
