Hi Jenna! My sister is a Hawaiian immersion teacher, and when she started her job two years ago, she didn’t know how to speak Hawaiian. Now she’s pretty fluent. Something that helps her and the kids she teaches is labeling things in her home with Hawaiian vocab words. So for you, you would label your household items with Korean vocabulary words. I believe in you and can’t wait to see your growth throughout the year! You’re so graceful with yourself. I’m sooo impatient. 😂

[@JennaHong]

Omg I love this thank you so much for sharing jessika 🥹 I’m definitely doing this

[@CarlyneDTQTonPod]

Jenna love this bowl and look how the colors match your jammies.....too cute. Poor baby having tummy problems, I know when my dogs had the runs it was crazy running them down the stairs in my apartment. You can't do anything but help them out, your great parents. He is such a loving and well behaved little man. Take care and sounds like the Korean is coming along, does Thomas speak it?

[@JennaHong]

Thank you Amy🥹 he’s much better now but he def ate something off this week. And yes Thomas speaks it so he helps me a ton

[@JennaHong]

Ily 💓💓💓 omg of course I mean every single word

[@dreads8220]

It is super encouraging seeing your Korean learning journey. I am planning to restart my ASL journey this month and for the rest of the year.

[@JennaHong]

Thank you that means so much 🥹 it’s truthfully hard for me to put it out there so this is encouraging for me too

[@dreads8220]

@@JennaHong 💗 of course. Also, I watch a lot of K-dramas so I have been recognizing a few words here and there like “pretty” and “breakfast” which is so cool.

[@JennaHong]

@@dreads8220 I know those very very basic words which is good, singles inferno helped 😂😂

[@RayaMilosevic]

You are beautiful to watch. That bowl looks stunning. Learning a new language is the hardest. I'm currently trying to learn Serbian .Enjoy the journey.❤Love from Bosnia

[@JennaHong]

Thank you💓

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

I'm learning Mandarin and we always learn words from a text, that means each word is linked to a context, at the very beginning the sentences were really simple, maybe that helps you to remember.

[@JennaHong]

Definitely! That’s such a good tip

[@sophie3588]

Just did my first 10K today after running about 4.5 miles (3-4x per week) for the past 2 weeks. So proud! lol. Anyways, new subscriber! Love your vlogs Jenna

[@JennaHong]

YAY proud of you🥹

[@NYDriver74]

So funny story, I have been trying to learn Korean for about a year and a half. It’s been kind of hard for me, very hard. I went to Korea last year for a couple of weeks and everybody wanted to speak English with me.😂. I memorized a lot of phrases and things to say when I was there, but when they responded to me, I didn’t know what to say back. The struggle! Keep at it!

[@JennaHong]

It’s definitely hard and I totally get what you mean when you visited 🥹 they all know English in Korea

[@Ledyalynn]

Here from Abby asselin’s videos! Glad I found you!

[@JennaHong]

Thank you for coming by🥹💓 Abby is the best

[@edneishab]

I love your vlogs, they are so cozy ❤. How do you get them to look so cinematic 😍

[@JennaHong]

Thank you🥹💓

[@luvvreni]

I’ve been studying Korean since 2019. I got burnt out in 2021 and stopped. I’ve been trying to slowly get back into it

[@JennaHong]

You’ve got this! That’s why I’m easing into it with just vocab this month

[@abzster]

I was waiting for you to acknowledge how your bowl matches your pajamas lol. also, have you tried duolingo to practice korean? it could be a fun & quick way to practice in your down time

[@JennaHong]

haha i didn't realize 😂 i was tired, and yes i've tried duolingo personally i don't like it i've tried it probably 5 separate times now and for some reason it doesn't work well for me

[@Billy33753]

Happy Friday

[@JennaHong]

Happy Friday 🥹

[@caritalouie6164]

I actually got the Memrise app to learn Chinese (Mandarin). Kind of like you, I am trying to improve on my Mandarin. I know the basics but I need to get better at conversations!

[@JennaHong]

yesss i love that for you 💕

[@shanaj74]

That bowl is so cute. LOL

[@JennaHong]

Omg thank you!! I painted the glaze myself in the vlog 2023 changed my life ❤️

[@stephaniestudies2147]

Jenna, hi! I'm not sure where you track your runs, but you can adjust the mileage on Strava!

[@JennaHong]

[@elizabeththompson1525]

[@queenchelle1]

Toners actually aren’t needed after cleansing your face. Dermatologists say this is a step that can be skipped.

[@JennaHong]

I believe it’s not needed but I love it tbh🥹

[@TedEhioghae]

Did you ask your parents why they didn't speak Korean to you growing up?

[@JennaHong]

yes as i got older. my parents speak english mainly more than korean, so that's always been one thing, english did not come hard at home. but ultimately when i was a baby they told me they were nervous about me having an accent which was a hard reality i think a lot of immigrants were dealing with at that time, not having many examples of other families to go off from. they decided if i got older and wanted to know it, then that would be my choice. so i'm grateful that they were looking out for me at the time

[@TedEhioghae]

@@JennaHongOh, I get it. But it's a little bit sad seeing you struggling with the language now. You can do it! :)

[@JennaHong]

learning a language surely isn't easy! but i want to show it to encourage others ♥@@TedEhioghae

[@kgrace9687]

Huma gels are so much better!! 🥹 I wish more people knew about them compared to Gu

[@JennaHong]

They’re so good omg the Apple cinnamon especially
