  • i want to go to Korea so badly! I've been practicing my Korean :D can you tell me what the best food places are to visit and the best/safest way to meet those friends you were talking about? Do you live in Korea?

  • great video mate!! from my experience though id say learn the subway strictly or bus because if you don't speak korean, basically the Taxi drivers will tell you to screw off!! I had 3 of them in a row tell me to get away XP

  • OMO...Talks to the local...아~불안해요....

    I'll be in Korea this coming March and I hope that I might bump into any TTMIK staffs~ᄏᄏᄏ...

  • Hi!! I'm Clarisa from Indonesia, now my friends and I are planning for our next holiday. I like your fifth tips GET FRIENDS! Maybe you can share some tips again? :D Do you have facebook or email where I can ask further? We a little bit confuse what to do. Thanks ;)

  • nice! ima b in korea on october ... i'm so excited

  • I am coming to Korea next year!!!!!!! =D

  • how can i meet a sexy korean lady?

  • Hey i am Australian-Korean, uni student soon . I have been to Korea 5-6 times probably , recently went last year. Currently living in Sydney,, I was wondering how i could make new friends in Korea because genereally im always with relatives or cousins. Ty man thank you nice videos :))))... I

  • hi! i had a long layover in seoul so we decided to go sightseeing and i was expecting everyone there working at stores and vendors to only know korean but i was surprised how everyone knew japanese! i'm fluent in japanese so i guess i missed my chance to practice korean. hehe

  • oi oi oi, muhehehe drool

  • Thank you for the quick tips! I want to go in July 2011 to see SNSD! haha. but aside from that I don't know much where to go. I only have one friend who lives there. I don't speak any korean so anyone else want to give me tips or met up then ping me!

  • @boalohanuiloa1 you're going to see SNSD?? when?? please do share since I'm going to Korea in July, too!

  • @shootingstar87 hi there! funny meeting another snsd fan here? Yes... July 23 and 24th at olympic park gym. I already got my tickets for both shows! so excited! If you are planning to go I didn't hear that they sold out yet. Go to gmarket website. However, i think you need a friend or someone who lives in korea. I'm from the U.S and could not buy myself. I had to have my friend in Korea get the tickets.

  • @boalohanuiloa1 haha... pretty random aye. ^^

    oh yes i just barely looked it up on google and found a video of the girls promoting their concert in seoul on youtube. i don't have any close friends in Korea though. oh well, that's alright. where else do u plan to go? i'm prolly going to the language cast meet-up on the 25th :)

  • @shootingstar87 aww.. that's too bad :( you know "soshified"? it's like the #1 fanclub for snsd. They put together a field trip package to Korea. $2200 for hotel, food, sight see attractions, and of course... they snsd concert. $1800 for if you are already in Korea but want to meet up with other "sones" and join them. I'm just going with my friend. It does sound like a lot of fun tho and I think they might get some wonderful surprises like a fan meet. I'm still deciding where else to visit?

  • @shootingstar87 btw, what is the lang. cast meet up? I still haven't decided what hotel to stay at yet.

  • @boalohanuiloa1 it's the no 5 thing mentioned in this video ;)

  • 0:24 b...but...I can't name all of those!

  • annyeong Hyun woo sun...i've always enjoyed your vids and thnx for these 5 tips...you're so right we went there for a vac. last year (i'm feeling homesick now ) & seeing your vids made me wanna go back again! i luv your country i have a long list of why's but that will be next time! for one thing ppl there were so nice, clean city, shopping was awesome & i can go on & on! when i go back may i look for you as my friend now? hahaha

  • 1............

    If you want tourists and not just businessmen, you are the local people need to know the english language,

    and the tourists seek to learn korean this is one of the strange and difficult language to learn in the world. and incidentally one of the reasons that very few tourists visiting in korea and asian countries, but i realized that china and Japan are trying to teach and talk english and a little tourism there, much more.

  • Comment removed

  • @shoshlev I disagree. I'm English, and I'm going to Korea in June of this year. I have been working hard at learning Korean for a year and a half now, because, well, that's what smart tourists should do, no matter which country they visit, and no matter which language they speak. On the plus side, by learning the language, you learn the culture, and understand their manners and rules (and they are NOT strange, but only different from yours). Learning languages is thrilling, don't you think? ^_^

  • 2.............

    when a person generally hospitable home he should try to host it

    well, ask any businessman with whom he prefers not to do business and he is say with the koreans and with chinese and with all asian , because if

    don't go by their etiquette [from strange manners and rules ] their behavior so unpleasant. sometimes even rude.

  • 1. Ah. I'm a vegetarian.

    2. Yes,that's fine.

    3. I should've done that in Japan,only I was with my mother.

    4. This is why I love Asian countries. The only really calm places I've been to that are relatively nearby are a forest that I go down to to film that's near where I live and my relatives' farm.

    5. That's what I'm doing primarily with Japan but also a lot of countries.

    Actually,don't take this the wrong way,you should do a video showing the differences between Seoul and Tokyo.

  • How do I make friends online in advance, what sites do you suggest? I'm trying to learn Korean online but seems a bit difficult and been told that not many people don't speak English in Korea hence need to make some friends and learn some. Thanks!

  • i don't know a word korean, how well versed is your avg korean (all, or young people) in english? can i expect people in the bigger cities to speak a little bit? one of every fifth i meet maybe? or should i bring a notebook and clever drawings and sign language and such? :)

  • What happened to the ladies of the night! That one you miss big time. When I go to korea, that would be the first thing I would look for. The red light district!

  • Great advice. Thanks for the upload. I have a question about advice 3, "Try eating and shopping at places where they don't speak any English, so you get a good chance to practice your Korean"... Any advice on which places are good to visit for this purpose? Thanks in advance.

  • wow great tips and i definately agree. i did those exact same things when i went there last 2007 and 2008. I Love it in Korea. thank you for sharing your awesome videos

  • hahaha i did everything except nr. 3 this summer.

    anyway, i love your videos. hope to see you next time!

  • i have to be white to get good services

  • @lowhigh000 Can't lie,when I was in Japan part of me did think "Would we get this treatment if we were black?"

  • @tokutom I'm black and am going to Seoul in a month, I hope I don't stand out tooooo much he he.

  • korea is like... half world wide away from where i live T_T lol

    still doesn't mean i won't visit one day

  • thnx kamsahabnida for your tips, we were just there last april & we can't wait to go back again...i luv your country! it's one of the best in the world! :))) luvd Kor food, shopping at myeongdong, nan daemun, dang daemun & other awesome places in Seoul!

  • Great tips! The make friends online in advance...would definitely choose you! :-)

  • see u in korea.

  • @jjazchou See you! :)

  • 5. Make friends online in advance <<<<< I think I have to choose YOU!!! ;D

  • @jintawee AWESOME :D I'm honored!

  • Well I may do the same to visit Japan well I don't know about Korea but well it is nice to know after all I don't like to just pull and open a can of worms but in that case when I see if it is about criticizing another nation well I can't stand for it.

    After all I might say it could be intresting when Korean people could take things seriously when it comes to criticizim and if it is about selling a particular product I'll say don't devalued a particular American icon for certain reason.

  • 감 사 합 니 다!

    I like your video, just wish it was longer:) Can you make more videos like best places to visit in korea? I'm really excited to go there this Oct:)

  • @izzamga I will do that!

  • @ever4one Thank you. I'll be waiting for it:) You're really good at what you do. By the way, I also checked your "talk to me in korean website" i find it very entertaining and helpful. A great way to learn korean! More power to you and all the members. Hope there will be a meet -up when I visit there so that I can see you all in person:)

  • Great tips. I'm going to Seoul for a year or longer very soon and appreciate videos like this. I don't speak Korean, by the way - I'm from Toronto - but I intend to.

  • @nivlas1 Awesome!! :)

  • Hello.

    You know in a week I will go to Seoul, Korea by a music band competition. I'm from Mexico. and I like that I'll spend your core (e-mail) to help me a little with my lexicon (language koreana). I would greatly appreciate it.

    I love Korea. Thank you.

    If someone was interested in helping would greatly appreciate it.!

    My email is: pathetik_zteiia@hotmail.com

  • me pasarias tu correo... voy a ir a korea y quisiera que me ayudaras en mi lexico (lenguaje coreano). Porfavor . Gracias.! :)

  • @yayomantv Thanks I got your email :)

  • Hyunwoo this video is owesome thumbs up

  • @runnenarun Thank you so much ^_^

  • Thanks for the tips, especially the last one! I didn't even know a site such as Meetup.com existed. I'm going to be coming to Korea to teach at a public school in rural gyeongsam next month, but I'd like to visit seoul once in a while as it seems like such an amazing city.

  • @JDB98789 Thanks for watching ^_^!!!! Hope you can join one of our meetups in Seoul when you visit! 

  • @ever4one You're welcome! I might make it to the Seoultube meetup as thats happening on my 2nd weekend in Korea. Seems like it will be lots of fun!

  • yup thats how i learned korean really quickly. I live in areas of seoul where there aren't any (or aren't many) foreigners and no one in these areas speak english.

    9개월만 한국말 공부했어요. (12워 5일 부터 지금까지)

    TTMIK하고 무료 공부방에 배운데

    현우씨, 너무 감사합니다!

  • @Breaudy yeeeees ! :D i went to cuba once and their like : oh where are yo from , and i said Canada and ever since they where treating me like a queen xD

  • I never understand why on a short visit people will eat McDonalds when they can have Korean food.

  • @powerplantop Exactly!!!! LOL.

  • "eat lots of Korean food" - can't wait til January. *missing Korea* >.<

    Waaa, I wanna go to Hanriver!!! didn't have the chance on my holiday last year. :..(

  • @oNaturesChildo So you're coming here in January? : ) Awesome!

  • @ever4one Yes, I'm planning to! currently trying to find a job there. ^^ And gotta save up some more money, too. ^^°

  • Wow great video, I agree with all 5 tips.

    Thumb up.

  • @Nemesis093781 Thanks a lot!

  • yes, I want to eat all the Korean food I can because it looks so amazingly yummy.

  • @westislandkev Yeah I am Korean but I really love Korean food!! :)

  • Longtime viewer, first time commenter here. Love the videos you do, and I'm a TTMIK member too. I've been learning languages all my life, starting with Spanish from when I was ages 6-18, then I got a degree in Italian in college, and now I'm planning on moving to Korea to teach English next year, to experience the culture and to learn the language (or try to, ha!). Let me know if you ever want to practice languages sometime in the future when I get there! I'm always up for a language exchange!

  • @CamButler Hey! Thanks a lot for watching my videos and using TTMIK :) Sure let me know when you get here. Let's meet up for some coffee and practice together!

  • If I were going to Seoul, I'd take my time exploring the areas out of the central business district as they've all got their own character from what I've been watching on YT.

    It might take a couple of months to see them all though...

  • @stuffnnonsense That's true. A few days will never quite cut it :)

  • Great video,man! The angles, the shot, the editing, great!

  • @kimchiseoul Thank you so much!! :)

  • Great video. This is helpful, thanks for the tips.

  • @LeftyZurdoGaucher Thanks a lot : ) Glad you like them!

  • Nice video, i leave the school this year, so i can take a few months to travel around the world, I just have to persuade my family, o get some work, make some money, and perfect!!... Seoul, wait for me! xD

  • @joacojoaquinjoako Awesome :) I'll be waiting for you here, too!

  • thanks for the great tips

    im going to seoul korea next fall with a friend to visit a friend lol

  • @darkhero651 Thanks! Hope you have fun!

  • 한국에 다시 가고 싶어요

  • @ChelshiiK 다시 오세요~~~~. 언제 다시 올 계획이 있어요?

  • @ever4one 한국에 갈 계획이 없어요 ㅠㅠ. 언젠가! 한국어를 공부해요. 재미있어요!

  • Thanks! It was so helpful!

    Is there any way you can make a video about what not to do in Korea? Like things in America that are ok but are rude and disrespectful in Korea? Seeing the contrast would be so cool!!! (and helpful for whenever I get to visit)

  • @xoxKenziexox Thanks a lot! : ) Hmm.. that will be interesting!! ^_^ I'm making a long list of videos to make for Youtube, so I'll add that to my list! :)

  • Thank you so much for the tips. I am sure Seoul would take more than a couple days to visit.

  • @Chuckyboyboy Thank you!! :) And yes, you need at least a couple of weeks :)

  • I'm not so sure about number 3. I'm hoping to learn Korean soon. But, I'm not sure if it will fit in before I go to Seoul. I know you guys make videos for the TTMIK site, but I've never seen a cram video for those just flying into Korea soon. You guys should make a video that supplies the most useful phrases in one video for those flying over to Korea soon. Nice video. I enjoyed it.

  • @8bittt Hey :) A cram video sounds like fun, although it would be much better to be able to study with it and practice a lot before coming to Korea :) We will try making one! :) Thanks for the comment and suggestion!

  • i like this style of video & editing ! very quick & easy to understand ^^;

    i'll see you in korea :) !

    what is a T money card ?

  • @HaengbokHunnie Thank you so much!!! T-money card is the universal transportation card that you can use in Seoul :) You can see vending machines for T-money cards in subway stations :)

  • #6 Sample the nightlife and drink lots and lots of cheap soju

  • @AngryTypingGuy27 Sounds good XD 

  • Great tips!

  • @qiranger Thanks a lot :)

  • Already have friends in korea waiting for me to come visit!!! ^_^

  • @Germanalien84 That is GREAT :)

  • oh this is great advice! too many people spend all their time in other countries trying to find things that remind them of home haha. they miss out on all the great experiences! thumbs up!

  • @worldtravel101 Thank you so much!

  • great top 5!

  • @charlycheer Thanks a lot! I'm sure you're doing all 5 of these now :)

  • Thanks for the video! Nice editing! Did you use Final Cut and/or a really nice HD camera?

  • @MisookSensei Thanks a lot! :) I used Sony Vegas 9.0 and Canon EOS 500d to make this video.

  • this is very helpful ^_^

  • @psisparkjinhee22193 Thank you so much!

  • Tip #6 Enjoy the local Korean entertainment! Try to go to Idol shows and have the ultimate Kpop experience! kekeke :P
