vlog 🧣 back in korea, current korean reads, shenanigans w/ friends

Hi, friends! I think this video is one of my favorites out of all the ones I've posted over the past few months~ I think it's because I talked about studying Korean and I filmed so many funny interactions with my friends haha

That looked like so much fun 😊 thank you for bringing us along! 💜

[@SomedayKorean]

Ooh, I've been excited to hear your thoughts on the Korean History/Culture book since you first bought it. Since you like it so far, I think I might get it, too. And to hear it's a series?! Amazing news.

[@NataliaGarza]

LOL Every time I look at that book, I think of your comment from that September vlog and think "damn.. i need to read more of that book kuz she wants my thoughts on it" 😂

[@SomedayKorean]

@@NataliaGarza Glad to be of service as your motivation to read 😂 I'm still looking forward to your final review of it, regardless of how far into the future that is. I'm hoping the branch of Kyobo here in Songdo has a copy...

[@dreamysol]

this is such a fun video. thank you for taking us along with your friends 🫶🏾

[@NataliaGarza]

I'm glad you enjoyed it~ 🤍

[@minnie777]

❤❤❤

[@melwithluv5941]

Thanks for taking us along! 광주 was really nice and loved all the flags being represented. I’m always really curious when other Korean learners make a suggestion to focus your Korean learning on topics that you find interesting. I will look for some books in the future for myself in the topic that I find interesting! You’re friends seem so fun. Please don’t take my suggestion if you don’t want to bc you mentioned the direction of your channel but I also know privacy is a huge thing for me and other, but seeing your friends talking made me think a cool video would be on their perspective on living in Korea or certain topics, even what they think about those wanting to learn about their culture/language. Thanks for the great video, again!

[@mandymandine]

5:56 I got this book when I was in Korea in September, and it’s quite good. I’m also pretty sure I bought it in this exact bookstore (the Kyobo near Gwanghwamun 😅)

[@NataliaGarza]

AHAAH which exact one did you get?? The Korea Today one or the Modern Korean Literature one??

[@mandymandine]

Korea Today. A lot of specific words but I love learning random vocabulary 😝 It was easy to understand though, made me feel better at Korean than I actually am 😂

[@Petitàpetit-e2v]

나탈리아! 댓글 처음 쓰는데 영어도 잘하네요? ㅎㅎㅎ 고대에서 공부하는 영상보았는데, 30년 전 졸업한 선배로서 더 반가워요^^ 다음 영상도 기대할게요. Take care~

[@calmontes651]

A new view video from Natalia right when I need it 🙌🏽

[@maddiestudieskorean8565]

Love youuu ❤❤ Also early 😂🎉

[@PolyglotProgress]

I will always support spontaneous bookstore purchases 😈 Also that advanced book series looks really interesting and helpful!

[@雨緑-q4t]

I really love this type of videos from you (videos with books I mean xD)

[@flipevent]

5:33 --The guy on the right side on the stairs was me. :) It was FANTASTIC meeting you that day. Completely by coincidence too! As I said, you have been and continue to be an amazing inspiration to me as a Korean learner myself. I wish you ALL the best in your continued life in Korea! PS. She's not kidding about Gyobo being INSANELY crowded that day. I ended up not being able to get anything because it was so crowded lol. Still, its an amazing bookstore to go to--like many of the bookstores there haha.

[@annabelle_620]

This was such a fun vlog! I can totally relate to loving books; I have bought so many Korea/Korean related books. I'm pretty sure bookstores just have a brainwashing effect on me 🤣

[@soRealKorean]

친구들과 재밌는 시간을 보내는 모습이 아주 보기 좋네요! 그리고, 저 병뚜껑 완전 귀여워요!

[@morningrain13]

You just convinced me to get that Criminal Profiling in Korea book even if I am not that high in korean level( I am sort of a intermediate level though unhappy with my skills gained through self- studying) but i love collecting books in korean.Those are my little treasure. It's hard to find proper books available in Europe.. and I am in a country where korean language and culture is not yet that popular comparing to chinese or japanese. That is how i self -studied english as well. I learned a bit of basic and suddenly getting into books written in the native language. I am a bit greedy..I know.

[@paulwalther5237]

Me too.

[@mollyapteros]

Same.😂

[@NataliaGarza]

Ahah no judgement from me~ I used to buy Korean books that were too hard for me just so that I could have them ready once I was at a high enough level~

[@anameraz6338]

This video was so much fun. You and I are the same when it comes to bookstores, but I cant help buying a book every time I go, jajaja. Next visit Im going to look for 외국인을 위한 한국의 역사와 문화. 😀😀😀

[@Samilovescandy]

Oh I love your channel as well as instagram ❤

[@NataliaGarza]

Thanks so much 😊

[@mollyapteros]

How dare this grandpa call us ugly. 🥲

[@NataliaGarza]

LOL don't worry~ I told him what's what 😂😂😂😂

[@paulwalther5237]

You're wearing a mask outside :(. That looks like the bookstore in Gangnam I frequented almost daily when I was in.. well Gangnam studying in October :). I was surprised at how many Talk to Me in Korean books they had. Is Chamshil right next to Gangnam and I didn't realize I had left Gangnam? The more I think about it the more I think there was a subway station right there with Chamshil signs all over the place.

[@SomedayKorean]

In cold weather, masks are like a cozy little face warmer :)

[@paulwalther5237]

@@SomedayKorean That fog up my glasses. 🤓

[@NataliaGarza]

Ahhhhh~ So I went to a location that is more central than Gangnam, but all the Kyobo's look the same inside haha As for Jamsil and Gangnam, yes! They are right next to each other~ Gangnam station is only a few stops away from Jamsil Station on line 2! OMG I know~ There are soooo many TTMIK books in the bookstores here~ As for the mask, we are allowed to take it off outside but I was going in and out of so many little stores on my way to the bookstore (that I didn't film) that it was easier to just keep it on~ Also like Someday Korean mention it helps with staying warm~

[@SabrinAlzahrani]

Hi friends; I'm planning to visit Seoul beginning of March solo! Would you recommend the timing as I don't like the cold weather, also is Seoul suitable for solo travelers?
