[KoreanLanguageNerd]

@BreakNeckTurtle Hey thx

[BreakNeckTurtle]

@KoreanLanguageNerd No worries dude, Just giving credit where it's due!

[KoreanNick]

stfu weird bitch..

[kyla1ful]

I think this vedio is greet i understand better than other video thank you! :D

[special3006]

hello I still can't type in korean i already tried the region and language thing but i still can't type with it!!

[lilblake90]

@special3006 it isnt like chinese or japanese where a letter represents a sound, a letter represents its own character in Korean.

[babyboi7794]

i was wondering if you had the pictures from your video that i can have?!

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

@babyboi7794 which picture? more details pls^^

[SiaoCrazyGirl]

Hai, im quite confused. As the keyboard is in abc. So according to the timing , 1.26, do i just type the alphabet 'h' to get that korean letter? I'm sorry, im trying to learn how to type korean on computer thus is lousy at this kind of stuffs. XD

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

@SiaoCrazyGirl short answer no, in order to use a Korean keyboard u install it at windows: control panel->regional and language options->keyboard->change keyboard->add: Korean keyboard. After that you can see a new symbol at the bottom of the windows screen next to your clock it says EN if u click at it u can change your keyboard settings to Korean. Now u can alternate between hangul and roman letters with the right ALT key. Key's r different layered, ㅎ is on key:g, just google korean keyboard

[lmh4vr]

@KoreanLanguageNerd thanks for the information! i'm really interested to learn Korean language and having the option to have Korean keyboard is really helpful. :) thanks a lot!

[MrCosteffective]

Your making it look WAY more complicated than necessary

[sophie7821]

hello :) just confused with some Korean words, I've searched some sites what's "how are you" meaning is. i got 2 answers and it was "Chal ji-nae-shŏ-ssŏ-yo" and " Ottoshimnikka " now if i ever meet a person from Korea. what should i say ??

[tokee1234567]

@sophie7821 Ottoshimnika is what waiters or people would use for "service" or "jobs." Don't use that.

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

@sophie7821 "Chal ji-nae-shŏ-ssŏ-yo" 잘 지내셨어요. Means "I was/am good" 잘, means "good" and 지내다 "to stay, to spend time, to be" in formal speech(4. Speech level), honorific and past tense.

" Ottoshimnikka " 어떻십니까 from 어떻다 means "to be somehow" in formal speech (5. most polite speech level), question form and honorific. but as tokee1234567 said, it is way too polite for everyday language

[sophie7821]

is the south.north, Korean as the same handwriting? sorry I'm confused. don't know much about Korea :( .

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

@sophie7821 Hand and computer based writing (unicode) are identical in North an South Korea, however vocabulary as well as orthography are different. North Korea tries to avoid English words, while juice is 주스 (chusue) in the South, it is in the North 단물 (tanmul) literally sweet water. Also many words with the same Chinese origin have sometimes slight differences, woman in South Korean 여자 (yocha) is in North Korean 녀자 (nyocha) and so on.

[oliverjoel66]

hey i got interested after watching girls generation videos ... thanks for this you are very nice and talented teacher -..... greetings from venezuela

[archmirmz]

i really learned something about korean languages. thanks:)

[WeirdBoo]

Your Japanese aren't you? Only a Japanese man would say "a i u e o" as "a e i o u" in English.

[narutofangurl]

Wow, I understand hangul so much better now and because of this video, I am now more motivated to learn korean language than before! Thanks!

[sollongos]

Korean letters can make to pronounce 11,172letters, like that combination method.

[tothe2ndfloor]

woah..cool. thanks!!

[nundu]

Just curious: are you Dutch or Korean? I can't figure out your accent

[loddyhoddy]

Dutch sounds so different..

[NeroZaizuka]

How would you order syllables with 4 symbols ?

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

video 4^^

[viiietdude]

Hangul is nice but I prefer Chinese characters :Đ

[xxxphantom12]

good luck with that.. lol chinese takes too long.. soo im'a stick with korean lil korean is ok..

[MissOrangeSocks]

Hey that's awesome, Korean has an alphabet! Chinese is so much harder to pick up, you have to learn word for word and the writing is not related to the speaking e.g you don't know how to read the word, then you can't, no guessing games played :) Korean rocks, shall try my best to learn it.

[zairekrieger]

exactly!! that's why i like korean more than chinese, and most of all, chinese has TONES!! if you say "ma" in the first tone it means mother, in 3th tone it means horse!! so you can basicly call ur mom a horse!! oh no, that language is too risky for me x3 respect to all people who try it.

[icefall1793]

@zairekrieger chinese in my opinion... chinese is THE hardest language to learn. It is just too complex

[kyla1ful]

@zairekrieger Funny. hehheeh

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

@zairekrieger Chinese and Korean are 2 completely different languages the Chinese language is isolating (words never change, for case, time or politeness) which makes grammar and sentence structure very easy, but pronunciation and the Chinese characters are difficult. Hangul is a very easy writing system but Korean has a very complex grammar and combines several(5) politeness levels with honorific, neutral and humble expressions a concept which exists at best rudimentary in western languages

[Babybobgirl]

How did u learn Korean so well??

o.O It's avery hard language to teach!!

Awesome, good on u for making the video*

[C7B27D7B4]

thank you! you have explained things i haven't heard before :-)

[darkangel12346789]

These videos are absolutely a great resource. Thank you very much. Hope you will post more. Thanks again.

[steelspydr]

You are very descriptive with how Hangul is ordered. Very helpful and thank you!

[Nitsua177]

wow, thats a really simple order, awesome

[Guella58]

Thank you very much!

[nicyolo]

Thank you.. Im gonna make one like this too..

[DarkGoosey]

Good video. I find it interesting you choose to start with syllable construction before full letter introduction, it is very useful to me that different teachers are using different methods... So please keep it up! :)

[kiroro1991cb]

so so Korean is easy to learning

[lwiza2000]

hin thx shukraan

[YFLOInternational]

This is very accurate, though a beginner to the language ought to know that it is quite basic. There is nothing intermediate or advanced here. But again, a well made video and highly accurate.

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

what?? "Romanazation" that word doesn't exist.

When we write non latin-alphabet-based-languages with the latin alphabet then we call that romanization. And the latin alphabet in Japan is called roumaji (ローマジ)and in korean romaja 로마자, I am not so sure thats what you asked for, maybe it helped but i dunno.

[Rhyms4theMind]

Hey anybody??? what is the writing called that is written with " A,B,C's" called??

for example in Japanese it is called "Romanazation"

How would you explain to a Korean the sounding out of " Hangul

" H - A - N - G - U - L "....?

what is that called in Korean and how do you write it in Hangul??

Thanks!!

[BusyAtomdotcom]

It is called "로마자" [romaja].

However, not like Romanji in Japan "로마자" in Korean is not that popular in everyday life, and thus most people might not know what it it.

In stead, you can say "영어식 표기" [yeongeosik pyogi], literal meaning English style transcription (spell).

[46Sp4z]

This really helps!! :)

Do you think it's better to learn how to speak Korean before you learn to read it? Or visa versa?

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

I would recommend to learn first how to read hangul (it just takes one day to one week depending on how much time you have) because it makes it a lot easier to understand pronouncation, grammer and you are able to use better learning materials

[JohanOlsson]

Thanks a lot =) I mean totally fanatic of Korea and trying to learn it =)

Thanks one more time =)

[CHWese]

hm.. to me your accent sounds very german. i might be wrong, but thats my impression

whatever, good clip

[KoreanLanguageNerd]

No... it sounds Austrian ;-) ok you caught me, I will try to improve that... by next year or so... maybe

[afip4n6doc]

Thank you for posting this.

I especially liked the discussion near the very end (triangle arrangements and vertical "stoplight" arrangements)... I am trying to get my hangukmal writing to look less like a preschooler wrote it!

[Teabonesteak]

Thanks man this helps alot!
