The fact that you're a teaching Korean KZbin channel, and are still willing to recommend other channels to help your students to have a complete and diverse curriculum, speaks very highly of you. That shows you're a truly caring and passionate teacher, and not someone only looking for views an clout.

[@KoreanJream]

I couldn't agree more on this. It's not something everyone does! 💙

[@user-ke5nd2xw3e]

I totally agree with you😊😊

[@HyunwooSun]

Thank you Billy for including TTMIK on this list ❤ You are the most consistent and hard-working Korean content creator I know and you deserve many more subscribers and much more success!

[@elug3897]

Talk to me in Korean such a gem 💎 also a piece of Korean also of course billy 👍 you 3 are my favorite.

[@GoBillyKorean]

Thanks!! I hope TTMIK can keep growing larger too 😉

[@sue008A]

Hyunwoo Sun and you Billy are my top Korean language channels.

[@KoreanJream]

I totally agree with 현우선생님! I admire how consistent you are over such a long time!!! 빌리 파이팅! 💙

[@saras.5619]

So true!

[@JustKorean]

Billy! Thank you for introducing my channel!🥰 I'm trying to add more subtitles in multiple languages Everyone Let's study Korean with many teachers! Thank you for liking Korean:)

[@koreanfriendhailey]

Thank you so much for featuring my channel in your video on teaching Korean! 😊 It means a lot to me and I'm truly grateful for your support! 💖Let's have fun learning Korean together with many great teachers!

[@dancewitharpitavishwakarma3409]

Teacher you are the best

[@ananyahoney4527]

You are the best mam

[@rayhanmollik]

You are awesome ❤

[@KoreanwithMissVicky]

Hi Billy. Thank you for mentioning my channel. You’re such a dedicated teacher and a kind person (also with good humor!) This inspired me to maybe do collabs with other teachers you mentioned. I’m also open to another collab with you. I’m really sorry I didn’t respond to your message a few months ago when you reached out to me for a collab video. I’m not very comfortable meeting up irl and filming faces because of my personal reasons, but I’d be open to a talk collab (if you can afford the time, of course. No attachment or anything.) BTW, I only started teaching Korean in 2019, so you’re definitely the 선배 teacher here :) I have a lot to learn from you, 선배님. 고마워요 ❤

[@GoBillyKorean]

No worries! :D I'm one of your fans too!

[@Sou_va7]

You're my fav miss Vicky🥰✨

[@abengxoxo6151]

You're one of my favorite ♥️

[@giakulasa]

Came here to see if Billy included Miss Vicky in the list 😅 Miss Vicky is my favorite! 😍

[@angelbless45]

I am learning a lot from Miss Vicky. Thank you for including her here!

[@ProfYoonsKoreanLanguageClass]

고빌리 선생님 감사합니다!

[@baum-jd6zj]

A korean teacher who promotes his "competitor".. That definitely shows your passion teaching korean. I am so impressed! In Germany we call it Ehrenmann! 😂✌🏻

[@neptunians]

definitiv ein Ehrenmann!

[@alphakoreanclass]

Hi Billy, thank you for introducing my channel here. I was pleasantly surprised to see a huge increase in the number of subscribers overnight. I also checked out the other channels you mentioned, some of which were new to me, and ended up subscribing to all of them. You are sincere and passionate about the Korean language for a long time, which is amazing. I always feel that way about your work, but you are truly great! Let’s keep up the good work! 화이팅 to all Korean language educators, and 화이팅 to all Korean language learners out there!

[@adrianc.4292]

🎉🥳🥳 🥳🥳🥳

[@VivekGupta-ts7ou]

Hii

[@hangulhouse1]

Aahh.. Thank you so much for the shout out Billy. I saw a spike in my subscriber number and couldn't work out why!?! Really appreciate this! You're a good person. 너무 너무 감사합니다^^

[@KoreanJream]

빌리 샘, 너무 고마워요!!! ❤ Thank you so much for introducing my channel with so much detail about my content! I don't even know how much time you must have spent to not only make the list but to insert videos of each channel. I know myself it means a lot for smaller KZbin channels like mine to be recommended by an established channel like you, and that is really supportive and nice of you! Can't wait to meet up again, eat some good food, chat, travel, and collab! 다시 볼 때까지 건강하게 파이팅하고 있어요!

[@koreangem]

Thank you so much for the mention❤️ I couldn't figure out why my subscribers suddenly shot up until someone told me about this video! You and all the other great channels are doing such a great job helping people to learn Korean! 너무너무 감사합니다😊

[@LearnRealKorean]

빌리 쌤!!!!!!😃😃😃 정말 고마워요😊😊😊 겨울동안 논문쓰다가 마침 딱 다시 수업을 시작했는데 이런 영상을 올려주셔서 넘넘 감사하네요😂😂😂 빌리 쌤 최고입니다!!!!!

[@APieceOfKorean]

안녕하세요? 빌리 선생님~~🥹 세상에! 우리 채널까지 소개해 주시고... 감사합니다🙇‍♀️ 건강 조심하시고 다음에 꼭 봬요💕🙆‍♀️💕🙆‍♀️

[@theseofam]

Good recommendations for us too! We are native Korean speakers but really needed to know how to teach it to foreigners in English ! It would be very helpful

[@jazzhands5505]

I was actually taught by Professor Yoon in college for Korean language in culture and society at the University of Iowa and he's such a good teacher. I am so glad he's being recognized. He's a great teacher.

[@SOTOaudio]

Since we’re on the topic I feel like Natalia Garza is also a good pick. While she does tend to make more vlog-style content, she makes a lot of good content about studying especially for beginners.

[@GoBillyKorean]

She has a great channel too!

[@ManjeetKaur-jr1qv]

Ya surely her channel is great, but maybe billy 선생님 hasn't included it in list coz her channel is mostly for advices and how she learned, not that she herself is teaching us korean, but her channel is surely great 😃👍 especially for motivation

[@patch8376]

It's nice to see that several if not all of the channels in your under 10k recommended video now have well over 10k subscribers. I have to think your video helped them more than a little, as your videos have helped me a lot more than a little. I actually got distracted by this video on my way to watch your most recent stream. Nice to see LRK come up early, too. I enjoyed her picture description video earlier today about the Seoul Ring project.

[@canadianroot]

In addition to these channels, I want to give a shout out to Santoverse. Her videos are well produced, and are very helpful, entertaining, and digestible.

[@Allijosondy]

I can't tell you how excited I am finding this video! Thanks from Jamaica 🇯🇲!!

[@user-vz8yf7yr6j]

i was so excited to see many of my favorite teachers being listed here but i also learned about some new teachers as well! thank you so much for the recommendations!

[@midnighthues1269]

Thank you Billy for recommending these channels, I'm now more motivated to learn korean

[@lynngouvenec5488]

Thank you for that list, Billy ! You’re not just a great teacher, but also a big youtuber and a person who really loves korean language! I shared this video with my classmates because we’re studying Korean and we were having difficulties to find good channels that explains korean grammar in English! We are not in basic level anymore and all the channels that I found were in Korean! Thank you so much !!!

[@MrDizee9]

I just discovered so much good intermediate content thanks to this video, what a great idea. Thanks Billy !

[@enhancesleep]

Thanks for the list! I’ll definitely be checking them all out. I’ve been learning Korean for over 4 years now and still feel like I haven’t learned as much as I wish I had. I’m going to dedicate more time daily to studying and hopefully I’ll be where I wanna be next year 😊

[@Avionne_Parris]

Very comprehensive list, Billy! I definitely took notes and will be checking them ALL out. I actually found Billy through Miss Vicky and yes, her personality is adorable! She is reason my Hangeul handwriting has much improved. I want to highlight Suntae from Conversational Korean. Billy did mention him in his Top 5 Channels for Learning Korean (2021). He has a vocabulary list livestream every Saturday at 11AM KST. So many channels! So many levels of learning! Now there's really no excuse to not learn Korean :-) Thanks, Billy!

[@user-vb8nt1kr4o]

MERCI BEAUCOUP! 🥰🥰🥰so nice and generous from you to let us know all these other channels. Thanks a lot Billy! I love your channel, it s my first following.

[@mareemaree5091]

Thank you for this great great trove of information. I will check these out. Sometimes even when the explanations from one teacher are great, another's different approach can help the brain set concepts firmly. I haven't joined your KZbin channel, but I am on your Patreon page. About other courses: I will ask on your Patreon page about one. Thank you again for years and years of help.

[@jacquelinesubia6681]

Just what I needed!!! Thank you so much Billy!!!!! I also love learning with your content!!! ✨✨✨

[@deb4908]

Thank you Billy. Your passion for supporting people to learn the Korean language is evident in this video where you are recommending other channels. I currently subscribe to 6 of these and you’ve given me a couple of new channels to check out. Any newbies out there I highly recommend Go Billy for clear and engaging content.

[@nakamuraaoi6638]

I stumbled on Hailey one day about 3 weeks ago after watching one of your videos. And every since then, I’ve been consistently watching you and her. She makes somethings super easy to understand. And it’s also entertaining. Thank you both! And thank you for sharing these resources! ❤

[@neptunians]

your contact is crazy! like you put so much effort in each single video, I appreciate that so much. As a beginner, this was really helpful! Thank you and lots of love from Germany! x

[@user-im9of2bu7f]

Thank you very much for the list, Billy. I also find Korean Full Course channel help me a lot in learning Korean grammars, the videos are simple yet very easy to understand.

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

Thank you! I have had a difficult time finding quality supplemental content and this list is a big help. My other favorite learning channel (along with yours and TTMIK) was not on your list, though! Learn Korean in Korean with Teacher Kim is an immersive channel that's absolutely great for beginners! As a person who enjoys learning languages as a hobby, I think his method is extremely effective. I am able to naturally comprehend each lesson with little difficulty. They progress and build upon each other and I never feel like I need an explanation in my own language.

[@sinabrokorean]

Wow! Thank you for the great recommendation! This list will be really useful for those learning Korean and it's also helpful for me to teach Korean!! I am glad that more and more Korean channels have been created so that many people can easily access Korean language!

[@zephdrouhin597]

Thank you! Already, you and TTMIK have inspired us so much that family is going to Korea at Christmas👍😊

[@bunnylexy2625]

That’s such a helpful video, I’ve been learning korean for about 4 years now and I’m still improving every week thanks to channels lile yours, TTMIK and others❤️ keep up the good work!

[@nahnah1912]

Great video. Thank you for sharing recommendations.

[@jorgegar1993]

These are wonderful recommendations! I am subscribed to one already but I'm going to subscribe to the rest right now! So many great resources these days. I'm very happy that there seems to an increase in people interested in Korean during the past few years. Well deserved as it is beautiful.

[@katiehedrickcomposer]

I had KZbin open in another tab, subscribing to everyone as you went through the list! :) 선생님 감사합니다 !!

[@coreanzoon]

I would add another comment : Billy clearly shows how the Peter Principle does not apply to him : sharing such information to benefit others without fearing whatever loss (by the way, it reinforced my loyalty to his channel !) is , wow, breathtaking. (others = the other KZbinrs, that , for some, increased their number of subscribers a lot after that video :), that could have been seen as 'competitors' )

[@monriana]

Thank you for recommendations!

[@dianavargasm]

Billy thanks for this recommendation! I stopped learning Korean but I promise myself to improve! and this helps a lot.

[@thedoctor1108]

Thank you so much! I was literally just looking into this and you’ve helped me soooo much. I’ve been struggling keeping a good routine with learning Korean and find it extremely hard to remember everything. So I could use all the help I can get! Really appreciate this information!!

[@JamesTermy]

Thanks Billy for these recommendations, you have all my favorite places in there. I am very intrigued with the GGOMI school approach to use simpler Korean speaking to match the level of the lesson. Thanks for sharing all of these!

[@northice]

What a fantastic list. So great to discover a few new channels as well. And although I see she hasn't been active for four months, would like to give a shout out to 'Korean Arah' as well. Lots of great content there too.

[@user-so9yv1py2b]

Before your recommendation, I have followed 13 channels among 15. And I missed Professor Yoon’s channel very much, especially the live stream. Thank you Billy!!

[@lovemeagainist]

Thank you so much for your help and hard working! The best teacher ever🤍

[@haelrc8415]

Professor Yoon is such a sweetheart. I love his channel and sometimes I watch his videos when I'm not even properly studying cause they're so chill

[@MamaFanBTS]

Thanks Billy! I love Miss Vicki, TTMIK and Sejong Institute (where I am also taking a live class). The others are new to me, so I’m excited to check them out!

[@diamondlifesince99]

Than you for these recommendations, I was always in need of these type of channels which has also cultural aspect to it.

[@f1content364]

Thank you for the recommendations Billy

[@ryekun1212]

Prof Yoon helped me passed the TOPIK exam... as well as Billy and TTMIK!

[@rensvh98]

Instantly subscribed to those I haven't been subscribed to already. I'm too busy finishing my bachelor's at the moment, but I really want to pick Korean back up ASAP and break through that 'high beginner' barrier!!

[@jakelin_sal]

Thank you so much! I recently was interested in learning new languages, specifically Korean, this is going to help so much!!

[@dreamgloww6650]

thank you Billy!! i saw these recommended in BA. hope you can visit us soon. 💜

[@giakulasa]

OMG thanks for these Billy!

[@delalima]

thank you billy , i'll check them out

[@ahamprema1]

정말 감사합니다 쌤 '고빌리'!!😄Thank you for sharing other great sources for learning Korean, it's very helpful🤗

[@andriusrepsys]

Very useful! Thank you! :-)

[@aaaakuleczkaa]

Great work Billy, thank you so much for your hard work! although I use only your channel, ttmik and miss Vicky I will definitely look up for some different way of teaching, you never know what might do the "click" 🥰🥰

[@geoffbits6773]

Loving this list! Will definitely add them ☺️ (though I’ve been a TTMIK subscriber first a few years back before I discovered your channel 😅)

[@wrldtrvlr4vr]

Thanks Billy! I learned hangul on your channel!

[@msvixenblue]

12:58 , I am a student of Alpha Korean Class. Her videos have helped in my Korean learning journey.

[@almaonyx933]

OMGosh! Thank You so much!

[@Drakelett]

한국어 한 조각 is definitely one of my favourites - as Billy said, perfect for intermediate/advanced.

[@shinytomoon]

thank you! i've subbed to every one! (if i wasn't already subbed to them) i'm all about different teachers. and i don't even mind not understanding much but just listening and being able to read the words as i hear them spoken is big. i can get used to the sounds and match them to the words. somehow it sticks in my brain better that way

[@ggomischool]

안녕하세요, 빌리쌤 ^^ 제 채널을 소개해 주셔서 감사해요~ 빌리쌤 채널은 컨텐츠가 다양해서 재미있게 볼 수 있어요! 앞으로도 재미있는 영상들 기대할게요!😊

[@brazilianTT]

Yes! I’m study through Prof. Yoon’s and I think he’s very good and organized!

[@Omar_Hassan]

i Subscribed to all of them >> Thank you billy 💙

[@iamwhoeveryouwantmetobe]

OMG... I know this was made a year ago but I'm so happy to know that most of the people you recommended in this video are actually my go-to channels (of course that includes you too kekekeke) All of you are my favorite 한국어 쌤! And I hope that more people will know the existence of these channels because you guys deserves to be recognize by every korean learners out there, self-taught or not. As a self-taught learner, who only started almost 5 months ago, learning the existence of these channels surely brought magic into my korean learning journey because I learned so many things from these teachers! I am deeply indebted with you guys because I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't because of you. And because of you, learning korean became something I look forward to every single day!

[@chillingteatalk]

I will try my best to be included in that list in a few years 😊😊🎉

[@Dreastay_leehyeonjae]

This will really help me

[@marsmallow_17]

Thank you for these ❤

[@dagnadubak7242]

Thank you for a great video, the number of channels I subscribe to definitely shot up... Also wanted to concur, 그냥 한국어 is so so good AND underrated! The way 지은 쌤 presents grammar points, usually in sets of expressions that are similar but have different nuances, is extremely useful for learning how to actually apply the grammar you've learned. I highly recommend checking 그냥 한국어!

[@JustKorean]

thank you:)

[@mimimimi00000]

Thank you for sharing this with us!!! Did I just subscribe to all of them...???:D

[@kris_atiny]

Thanks Billy, this video is very useful

[@rayhanmollik]

This helps a lott You are awesome

[@Gsta1544]

It takes real grit and passion to promote channels from your ops. I really respect that

[@GoBillyKorean]

I never saw any other KZbin channels as competition to me. I can offer something unique, and each of them can too :) Maybe if there's another American guy who dresses exactly like me and teaches Korean then I can rethink this comment.

[@auricia201]

I was only subscribed to 4 of these channels: ttmik, 빅키, jdream and alpha. But went ahead and subscribed to the rest of them 😁 even the ones that don't match my level. I think I was too focused on channels that taught in English, but I like the idea of having some that teach things in Korean, as long as they have subtitles of course 😅 But I can say, from all the channels I follow on learning Korean, yours is the one I watch the most (even more than ttmik 🤫)

[@luckyoo1200]

It's been only one week i started to take your beginner level korean classes and i am consistently improving, All thanks to you sir.

[@kavi0926]

감사합니다 선생님! 💜💜

[@saras.5619]

I love prof. Yoon's channel a lot!

[@ambercandy1616]

I would genuinely love it if I could still have the entire list of 100 KZbinrs. It would be really helpful.

[@wluobmai1496]

I reckon the best one is ‘Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean’ 🎉

[@EmilyXTerrell]

Prof yoon is my favorite!!

[@Dalanischannel]

Thank you for this list~ I would also recommend basic Korean (베이직 한국어) for beginner to intermediate learners due to the high quality grammar explanations ( English subtitles, Korean subtitles, combination information, informative and relating series, examples, ect.)

[@MinhAnh-nb9ff]

respect what u've done for us, our teacher

[@byalianarahim]

thank you so much! i've already subscribe to all :)

[@teleriferchnyfain]

Oh, I love Korean Studio!!!! I've taken all his Skillshare classes. Also love TTMIK of course.

[@phoenixknight8837]

Thank you, Sir!

[@tokinGLX]

my top 3, not including billy: ttmik, miss vicky, and the "5 words a day" series on 베이직코리안 basic korean.

[@fiat35]

Thank you so much Billy! 🥰 I would like to recommend "Assam Korean TV" and "Comprehensible Input Korean" too. ♥ FIAT

[@sohyunasmr]

I just found your channel and I love the video I'm determined to learn Korean I'm not going to procrastinate anymore I've been procrastinating for 2 years and I never study properly

[@Paytonxoxoxo]

Thank you 😊

[@Avantzoo]

Have you ever checked out Learn Korean in Korean with Mr. Kim? I have found the way he visually defines words genius and the immersion is great.

[@adrianc.4292]

How’s your experience studying with them? I didnt start yet cause i‘m not totally able to understand totally in korean

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

@@adrianc.4292 It's great! Just start with the alphabet playlist. You won't get lost. Next to Go Billy he is my favorite teacher!

[@ElArtedelCringe]

It will be really nice if you also do a top of channels that doesn't teach Korean but can be used to practice listening, like Kurzgesagt etc.

[@yeaminories7738]

U deserve millions of subscribers

[@LevelUpKorean]

Awesome video, Billy! It's so helpful, thank you so much! Part of the problem as a beginner is that there are sooooooo many channels out there, it's easy to get overwhelmed. I wanted to ask you, have you seen the channel called, "태웅쌤 - Comprehensible Input Korean"? You might like this one. He started off doing slideshows and speaking only in Korean. Now he often plays computer games and also still only speaks in Korean. He's got a few different series on his channel. I'd love to know your opinion. See you next time!!

[@GoBillyKorean]

Yes! I originally was going to include him in the list, but I decided not to add channels that were just focused on listening practice so I couldn't put him in this time. Maybe for next time :D

[@KoreaWithKids]

@@GoBillyKorean I think he's got a playlist on reading hangeul. That probably counts!

[@paulwalther5237]

As much as I would like to think that I will watch videos about grammar I know it’s a miracle that I even watch a few on this channel. If you could make a list of recommendations for listening or immersion practice either using real Korean channels for Koreans or maybe for learners but no grammar just Korean practice that would be wonderful.

[@itzafalcon309]

Not gonna lie im very happy to see Miss Vicky on this list (:
