1. The Korean writing system-1

[Rectiony]

at 10:00, to those who arent korean, im korean, and the thing at 10:00, the first and second sound exactly the same and the third and fourth one sound exactly the same so dont worry

[thatraincheck]

Thank you so much for this. It is very useful. I really want to learn Korean. :)

[poke089]

the characters of the korean language have always attracted me; i never knew the heaven/ground/man thing wow :) the silent consonant is like the aleph in hebrew. I want to learn both (ﾉ＾▽＾)ﾉ♡

[SkyHighVibrations]

I <3 u already Jenny! Thank you and greetings from an Italian/Sri Lankan who wants to learn your beautiful language. :-)

[DreamUML77]

[jayguy173]

[MsAmoooool]

[JimmyFoxhound]

The best teacher on youtube! Love Jenny's teaching style, she's so good!!

[cfbabo]

Hi, first thanks for your efforts. But if you count the consonants at 03:00 ... there are 13 and you say they are normally 14 ... I am confused a little bit please explain....

[GirlWhoLikes2Comment]

What does ^ mean? I've never seen it before. Also, can anyone help me with ㅡ? I don't understand how to pronounce it.

[xxjudyxx24xx]

@GirlWhoLikes2Comment there is a video here in this channel where teacher Jenny taught how to read those~~ the korean vowels and consonants

[themmlltt]

You are a great teacher! Gamsamnida!! I'll be checking the rest for sure ^ ^

[MogTrader]

[Grilca]

@MogTrader Go to Seemile.com and you can understand it all from the beginning. i understand how it can be confusing

[SNSD489]

[ayamayamayambebek]

[SNSD489]

@ayamayamayambebek okkkkk :) thanks :D

[BlocM83]

Hi, great video. I think you missed ㄹwhen you listed the consonants.

[frce68]

ㅚ, ㅙ, ㅞ sound [oe, wae, we] clearly, Although most Korean can't distinguish well in real life

[allyzamiesa]

[eliascsjunior]

after so many years, this is still the best and complete hangeul teaching video on youtube. i always show it to my friends when they are interested in learning it. you know, kpop fever and stuff :P

[XxALicexSeRixX]

i got confused at the heaven man and eground ...but i will not give up :D

[nubianlocs75]

very clear and understanding. Thanks a bunch!

[SujuSone92]

Consonants so much easier than vowels0.O

[Andreazor]

I have a big interest in languages, but I have no grasp of Korean at all, so this is very interesting! Thank you very much for these videos! You are very easy to listen to, and you explain very well.

[DouglasStedile81]

sweet teacher! =)

[lohhhl]

though I'm native korean, i can't distinguish ㅖ and ㅒ, ㅔ and ㅐ

so don't worry

[oODragonOo]

@lohhhl And what about between ㅗ and ㅜ, :/

[Rectiony]

@lohhhl its the same ay g

[joetheazl]

PLEASE!! NEVER STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!! YOU COULD BE THE FIRST ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND PROBABLY WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WHOLE WORLD!!! iM being serious too XDD ive always wanted to learn korean :)!!

[SkyJack94]

This is perfect! ^^ I have a friend who is a beginner to Korean. I'll send him a link to this page, I'm sure he'll appreciate this video very much. A good way to start learning Korean in my opinion, great job!

[steviesniper]

Thank you so much! I had watched some videos, and had some doubts on the pronounciation. after watching this video I found it much simpler.

[oldieslova101]

Question, Do koreans use hanja often, like the japanese use kanji??

[DistinctiveSound]

After watching a bunch of instructional videos before this one, this one seems more comprehendable. Out of all the videos though, yours is the most professional (without cheesy puns), likeable (seriously, you're adorable!!) and most informed, and what I love is that you make the pronounciation easier to identify and you put in the history of the writing system as well. <3

[PLAVML]

I got a quick question what is the difference between the First set of Basic Consonants to the second set the (4 new ones introduced in 18:15)? Thanks.

[Pixeldoll]

this soo hard to learn D :

[EmilioPin]

e and E it's like chinese é and è !!

[sellewinks08]

i accidentally hit the dislike button.... sorry.... :(

[aiwoavril]

I'm going to Seoul next year May!! Annyohasaiyo!! Lets see I whether I can survive after learning korean from Jenny within 9 months'time

[Gaokespeare]

jenny is hot!



[niconikko]

thank you for giving lectures, it really helps. Kamsahamnida!!

[nxr064]

Then I wrote up and down arrows with numbers next to the same words to indicate higher or lower tones.

[nxr064]

Okay, I wrote down the phonetic letters of each characters. When that wasn't enough, I kept on listening on how Jenny says the character, and then I wrote out words under the phonetic letters that help me see how the characters are supposed to be pronounce.

[Yeswhatever]

I'm having trouble deciphering the differences between ㅚ ㅙ and ㅞ :(

[nxr064]

@Yeswhatever How did you type in Korean?

[xS0NE]

@Yeswhatever u just open your mouth a little bit wider

[wafaethel]

loved the tutorial.. ive always wanted to learn about korean language .. though its kinda hard but i find it really cool and nice .. <3 ..

[lipcful]

Great korean language teaching channel, clear & precise

[Dylan20121]

very good video :) is your name really jenny?

[fatcatbuzz]

@Dylan20121 Most likely it's something different. Korean names are way different than English names.

[Dylan20121]

@fatcatbuzz

yh i was just wondering what her real name is, cuse i know a lot of Korean people will change their name to an english name if they are working abroad or whatever. Jenny doesnt sound very Korean xD

[fatcatbuzz]

@Dylan20121 Yeah, I happen to be an English teacher here in Korea and most younger Koreans have an English name as a nickname. Even other Koreans call them by their nicknames sometimes more than their Korean names. My name is 조슈아 or Joshua. Same thing in Korean as it is in English.

[Dylan20121]

@fatcatbuzz thats what im hoping to do when i finish my degree, i wanna learn a bit of Korean first though before i go. i <3 Korea

[TennessisET]

@Dylan20121

may be she is korean from usa, and that's why has an english name?
