How to Learn Korean with K dramas 【Language immersion and self study tips】

[@ayaasiddig2145]

I was waiting so patiently so she posts a new video I started learning Korean about a month ago but I stopped because I have school and I can't focus on both but 매우 감사합니다 I take a lot of tips from you.

[@AfroLinguo]

Me too! Same problem. I really need to get back to it.

[@sushilovermf]

me too! i started learning korean in october of this year but bc of school i had to stop but now that summer break is coming up (in my country) i'm gonna use it to get back to my studies (in my country summer break is from december till around the end of february/beginning of march)

[@canpy143]

As a learner i can totally agree with you. And your last point was just chef's kiss. I literally follow the same thing every time i started with a new language. People focus too much on writing skills but if you are learning any language for communication purpose then i think listening and speaking skills matters more. Develop your observation skills and Korean isn't hard. Nice aesthetic and cute voice!♡

[@AfroLinguo]

I have B1 level in Mandarin Chinese now, and I still cannot write without the help of a computer. However, I can communicate very well and understand very well what people tell me. I will learn how to write later. I feel more fulfilled this way.

[@HazalElise]

i haven't really put any time into studying Korean. I did learn to read 한글 somewhen before 2015 but since then i haven't really done anything :"D i don't want to whine about how good i could've been by now, cuz i don't see why that would help me. I guess what I want to say is, it's never too late to learn something new. You're not too late to learn a new language if you're older than 25 (they say it is easier to learn languages when you are younger) and you're not to late to start a new hobby, switch your profession or pursue another career. Do not think about what other's may think. Do it for yourself. I know that not everyone is able to do so, there are multiple reasons that could lead to you pursuing something you don't want to do (e.g. studying something you do not want to study) but have to do in order to make money etc. but i want you to at least reconsider. If it doesn't make you happy, and you do not see the capacity in yourself to just pull through, please, stop whatever you're doing and pursue YOUR dreams, your goals, your life. Do not try to make anyone happy if it's going to harm your mental health. Do not try to please anyone with your decisions but live for yourself. Take care everyone, stay safe and warm :"D thank you for the video

[@rhea_irl]

I resonate so much with this! It's really heard to not get caught up thinking about things I didn't do, or started late, but it's so much easier to just do now rather than worry about what ifs haha >

[@HazalElise]

@@rhea_irl exactly! been there, done that. It doesn't feel good. If we want to make ourselves (and everyone around us feel better), we need to do what's right for US. You're not being egoistic if you want to be happy :)

6:30 I like everything she said from there to the end! Shes absolutely right babies dont have subtitles they just keep listening, and after a while they start to absorb the language and start speaking in it. as a dramaholic i always watched in English subtitles for everything, after 2 years almost 3 since its almost 2022, I do understand halfy fluently in korean, I know a few words.. but I cannot read In korean or speak in korean. witch is what i want to understand more and the first time i watched without subtitles i already understood a fair amount, I was shocked how i knew everything they were saying. and the film was quite old. i had to translate for my Older brother because there were no subtitles and he didnt understand Korean. But i will say having Korean subtitles and listening in korean is better than having english subtitles. you dont have to understand just like she said Babies dont have subtitles when there little right? they absorb! and i think whats important is that you try to understand. hear what there saying and then try adapting to korean subtitles. because i think reading is more important, then you will start to be able to read, and write. and after it wont take you long before you can speak. So i think that method is absolutely the top to go. watch in korean subtitles and listen in korean. if you want to try and understand look around, look at the visual, the scene. slowly after a while you'll understand! hope that helps! ^^

[@Avestalyrics]

So you mean when we watch a kdrama we should watch with a Korean subtitles?

[@shadowarmy2351]

@@Avestalyrics that's if you know how to read in korean letters, but it's always better to listen in and learn korean from websites aswell because the way I understood half fluently is because I listened in to every word and pronunciation ^^ Back then I was very invested in the stories lol.

You’re literally my inspiration when it comes to self studying Korean. I’ve had so many doubts that I would not be able learn Korean on my own and even thought about giving up, not because I didn’t love studying it anymore, but because I didn’t confidence in learning it own my own. After I found your channel, I think I’ve regained that confidence again and now I’m going to stop feeling sorry for myself and keep fighting! 감사합니다💕

[@PurpleHearts7]

I actually thought of learning from kpop songs in my own way as- take two print out of song in korean and english translation each one print will be neat and in other I would be remarking some words and its meaning to ''understand'' according to me (from what I think) this will help me learn korean and the onsg which I actually want.... edit-thankyou for this much liked I first time got these.... or second time??😁 감사합니다!!💜

[@samjean897]

I was a little lost on how I can learn Korean at first, but after I watched your videos, I finally get a head start on how I can learn Korean, and how I have to be consistent because I have a lot of work from school too. You gave me so many tips on how to learn Korean. Thank you so much.

[@yoongisaplanet8762]

I did my first year of Languages University(I’m in the second year now) and I’m majoring in Korean and Indonesian and yet my Korean is so basic, that I can barely do a conversation. And this is also because in my university there aren’t conversations classes, only grammar and pronunciation classes so it’s really difficult… ;-; your skills are so wonderful!

[@Akma_devil]

Thank you for that video. This idea has always been in my mind. Because I didn't understand how babies can speak and just use the language without learning the rules, the ones we learning in school or even in the uni. I'm glad someone is using and testing this technique.

[@hohomimmim]

You can also rewatch a drama you like a lot and you even have decorated some phrases, with korean subtitles, this is one thing i learned when I was young and studying english, to rewatch a movie/tv series, anything, that I really liked, but in english, for example we watched hercules (the animation) in english and with eng subtitles and we would make connections since we already knew pretty well about what the story was about

The video's so calm and everything's well-explained! Also, I can totally agree with you for the double subtitles part; I tried doing it with a Netflix extension and the problem with it is that I was focusing on the Korean subtitles and English ones at the SAME time and this was pretty difficult. And sometimes, the translation of subtitles in English are not 100% correct with the Korean ones (because of slangs, metaphors... etc). I really like your tips and advices. Keep going on!! ♥

Another great advice! Thank you so much! Dual subtitles were cool way for me to feel that confidence of being able to understand Korean right away after memorizing its grammar points, learning some vocabulary and also getting used to differences in its sentence structures compere to English ones. But after watching your video I understand that it's like an excuse for staying in a comfort zone and maybe the reason why I still don't feel like thinking in Korean always relying on help of English while consuming content🤔😂 Anyway, I'm excited to use your method from now on!

I'm fluent in english and have a c2 certificate from the cambridge exams. I'm 16 and was fluent at the age of 11. I learned English at school when I was 8, but watched English movies and songs my entire life. That's basically how I learned English. I think 40% of my skills came from school. It was usually grammar and extra words that I learned there. But still a good 60% including grammar and extra words came from the internet. I also have 6 weeks of extra "training", because I have a native English friend whom/who I hung out with during school breaks. You could probably learn Korean the same way I did, but I'm guessing since most of the people watching this are in their teens, it might take a little bit longer. Hangul is pretty easy though, so that's not really a big issue.
