.... this is ... going to confuse me even more -_-;..... but im glad ive found this website to learn korean
ive only been learning for 2 days and i've memorised all the letters execpt for 5 :\ those are the ones that kind of sound alike so i have to be careful
@jianxun1984 I'm korean and I agree with you. Now I'm learning Chinese at school. I found it hard to memorize Kanji(Hanzi), pronunciation is smooth and easy.
As a foreigner I did manage to catch phonetic difference between those tricky Korean sounds. It gives me good motivation to proceed with other lessons :)
YOU'RE DOING KOREAN NOW?! I loved your GenkiJapan site - I hope you'll continue to add even more videos for GenkiJapan and I am also looking forward to GenkiKorean! Thanks for all you do!
Ima chinese and Ive learnt it for like.. years already. Its my first language and I still have trouble with many words.
So if your not patient... I suggest you just go on to japanese. Cause chinese doesnt have a certain alphabet like english and korean where you just put stuff together to make words.. so yeah.
Cool!!I'm planning to learn Korean (I'm still learning Japanese) and to write it, My friend was laughing her head off when she listened to this.(she thinks it sounds kinda strange)
don't worry, it's hard for me too, and my first language is english...
wait... did you mean to imply that it's supposed to be easier to distinguish between the vowels and consonants for those whose first language is english?what
It's very easy to learn the alphabet and there are plenty of good sites that can help you with it, if you practise some every night you will know it within a week. After that it's just training and more training and then you will read it fluently. Learning the alphabet is like 0.5% of learning Korean.
heeyyyy!! Hi!! :D lol i m in love with languages and i m learning korean and japanese, i know spanish and i plan to study german and portuguese one day :D lol
Japanese is pretty easy. Hirigana is harder to "write" than hangeul though, but overall Japanese is quicker and easier! I do think Korean is what you should learn first because it's more used for business, Then try Japanese!!!
lol^^ ah ah oh oh eh eh ih ih uh uh ... im learnin chinese but i wanna turn to japanese...but i dont know if korean is easier or more used ...??????????
ya i have to agreed with you, i'm learning japanese right now and i think it's pretty easy, like 2 months ago i know nothing about japanese language but now i know a lot, i'm not saying i'm good at it tho
Korean is easier in learning the alphabet, but SOOO much harder for me in pronunciation; while Japanese is reeaaalllyy easy in pronunciation for me, and it's a little bit harder to get the alphabet(s).
ahh korean is too hard!!!! just hearing it confuses me to the maxx and makes my head want to explode like a super nuclear kimchi bomb!!!(just try to picture that) but japanese on the other hand is a gazillion times easier (well at least for me) (>^.^)>
Japanese is easier to pronounce for English speakers, yes. But Korean is miles easier than Japanese to read and write. No KANJI! You can seriously learn to read and write Korean in a day or two at most.
I'm learning both, and they each have their difficulties. I use japanesepod101 and koreanclass101, it's a good way to learn (and the daily lessons are free). Try them out...
ne, i agree there. i can pick up japanese songs faster than korean, but korean is WAY easier to write because it has less curves and dots than japanese. i learned the korean letters in two hours! omo! i just started with koreanclass101 too! :D
yes the kana were easy but memorizing the 600 kanji and having to say them like in 3 different ways is really hard i put japanese aside for later and im currently lerning vietnamese
this isn't japanese, it's korean, and there are less symbols in the korean alphabet than in the english alphabet. >.> you're totally in the wrong video dude.
i now know to say thank you, sorry, excuse me, and please in korean --> pretty proud of myself, korean is so hard to pronounce (correctly) mienemita (sorry)?
does anybody know if there is suppose to be a specific order in saying the vowels? like how for the american way.. it would be like.. abcdefghijkl.. and so on... well for korean is there an order? i'm looking everywhere and people seem to be confusing me
Listen to the vowels again, you'll see there's a "y" added on to each one, the second time. However, there isn't a "z" or a "v" or an "f". That's why people in Korea say "peeja" for pizza, "typoon" for typhoon, and "beesa" for visa. (all "Konglish" words used everyday)
AHahaa.. Actually this rap makes it seem very difficult but I played the game for this and I know how to read alittle bit now! WOOH! Although.. sometimes.. i dont understand what Im saying.. ahaaa
