[eggpointful]

This is serious reality of the korea... korean students have to learn english for their future.

[abojongjing]

Korean language is very artistic and it sounds sweet too.

[lethel4444]

Someone cited the UN as 'the place English is official" but they have TRANSLATORS.

[HAHAHEHEHOHO17]

wow. may i ask how do you study a language. it's crazy to learn it the hard way. u can never study a language merely by studying textbooks

@Astro3100 I was quoting someone else who was not present in this video. Sorry if I confused you, but I was stating that I agree with that statement.

[unplugged123]

[sulee716]

In Korea parents tell their children that they can't succeed in life if they don't know english.

Great video

[Huba588]

Somehow, I'm motivated to try to study Korean :)

[sarahneplevrednav]

@Huba588 I am laerning it and even if people say it's an easy language it's not xD You have to stay motivated but it's a beautiful language ...

[Huba588]

@sarahneplevrednav It's true. It's a great language, probably my favorite. I'm Korean, but grew up in the US, so I cannot speak Korean as fluently as Koreans from the native land. I can call myself fluent, but am no where near as good as the people who spoke it their entire lives.

I have a long way to go, but it's a fun journey.

Thanks for the motivation :)

[chinscooper]

@Huba588 good for you

[Huba588]

Are you serious?

That's like saying, "Americans should speak korean from birth. Man they are annoying".

You are truly ignorant.

[LIBqueen]

although i am learning Korean, it's not exactly the international language now is it?

[Huba588]

What do you mean it's not an international language?

If you're talking about the official language of the world, it's English.

But that doesn't mean that everyone should be able to speak it. It'd be good to though.

[ely730]

English is not the official language of the world. There is no such thing.

[rsobrien]

Well, its the official working language for the UN. All those resolutions they make are in English. So it kinda is the official language fo the world.

[ely730]

You may consider it to be the language of the world, but it isn't so officially. Having an "official language of the world" was already attempted and failed. English is widely spoken and is considered to be a standard language of business, politics, and education internationally, but it is not officially the language of the world. (:

[Huba588]

"English is widely spoken and is considered to be a standard language of business, politics, and education internationally, but it is not officially the language of the world."

True. I don't like the idea of "official language of the world".

I was just quoting what the American commentators were saying during the Olympics.

[kellysonallison]

This is cool, if only in U.S schools could teach other languages besides english though...

[chocotwilight]

They do...............spanish, french, german, italian, even mandarin....what the hell are you on girl?!

[amberloves01]

ummmm US schools dod teach other languages duh....like Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and korean....well my school does anyway......

[englishkitty]

Great video. I think this video will help motivate more Korean students who want to learn English. Kudos!

[schova]
