Hyunwoo Sun on Language Learning

[PhoPhucLai02]

wow for somebody whose never been to america his american accent is really good.

[fncischen]

Making sentences, trying to figure out how to say what you normally say from your native tongue to your target language has worked for me in Chinese so far. Will do the same in Korean. Thank you, Hyunwoo!

[volapuk49]

You have the right idea and no one can argue with your results!

Thanks for this wonderfully inspiring video.

[thesingerperson]

That was really inspriing, I had no idea that he didn't stay in an English speaking country for me than a week o-o and he was able to learn that well! I definitely agree about what he said in books. A lot of stuff you read, isn't something you would normally use @_@ He's such an amazing teacher with Kyeuongen (sp) noona.

[turnip30090]

he teaches on talktomeinkorean and he is an AMAAAAAZING TEACHER the best i ever had

[jahsi00]

i do the same "imaginary friend/situation" technique when i want to practice my languages - i think it's a great thing to do when you're not surrounded by native speakers because it makes you think about how a problem can be solved by using your limited knowledge. And it's important not to give up if you can't solve your imaginary problem. You have to go on and rephrase, circumscribe everyhing until you think you've reached your goal. ^^

I will go to korea for first time next month and enjoy watching hyunwoo's videos. I've been learning japanese and korean and he really motivates me to continue because sometimes I find it so hard to learn. I can gather words but listening to foreigners speak is so fast and feels like I will never get to that level. Anyway.. thanks for the interview and subscribe to his channel people!!

[Retta353]

Hi Hyunwoo!! ....I really enjoyed this video, I am learning Korean and was getting a little bummed. I found this video just when I needed it!

Thanks KanjiKeith! ! 

[CMUSpider]

He is just AWESOME!

[asianoutcast87]

Chinese and Spanish native accents can be easily faked. Chinese....there are so many dialects that people automatically assume you're a native over the phone unless you say that you aren't one. Spanish is similar only if you speak french or italian. If you speak English, the eng accent is easily picked up.

[pumpfever]

This guy is great =D

[eppnsori]

I am with all things of what he mentioned!

[Aritul]

Very inspiring!

[loveS2sarang]

헉..ㅎㄷㄷㄷ,, 한국어제외하고 어떻게 5개국어를 공부하시는지..신기하다..ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ,,,대단하시네요,,­!!

[StAshleigh]

Very motivating! It's so easy to get discouraged but I'm going to keep trying harder!

It makes me happy that he's been here in England! ^^

[MrScotchpie]

This is a really motivating video. Its amazing how many polyglots always recommend leaving the textbook and begin making up your own sentences.  Something I'm going to start using myself. Moses Mccormick uses the same method in his FLR technique. Leave the textbook and simply play with the language yourself, making up your own sentences or building upon the example sentences the textbooks use.

[auggiedoggy]

It also helps to be young when learning a new language. The older you get, the harder it becomes to learn a language.

[MsAppleeater]

realy nice and useful, although place is disturbing

[Toreishiable]

Awesome video. Very encouraging and inspiring for me to keep up with learning new languages! =)

[sanjabmahi1]

this is EXACTLY what i've been doing.... and it works :)

[meyiyiyi55]

[GsarFlakita]

[amolapaz1]

I'm very impressed by this person's command of English. To think that he learned English this well without traveling is amazing!

[sourzzon]

thanks for upload and thank u to Sun for all these tips, this video will going to my Favorite collection.

[undakova]

wow I am sitting here watching this now and really inspired to learn more korean. Yay!!

[UnclePolyglot]

This video is really a big inspiration for me. Many thanks for uploading it!

I am especially impressed that Hyunwoo makes conscious efforts to form sentences in English using the words or phrases that he has just learned, and I am motivated to do just the same.

After watching this video for the first time about a month ago, I've begun to make sentences in French, which is the language that I am currently focusing on.

Many thanks once again for the inspiration!

[loki2504]

Alors? tu vis où en ce moment? au japon? et bon courage pour perfectionner ton français ! fais peut-être des vidéos dans les autres langues que tu connaît, ça peut aider pour la pratique !

你中文是學繁體子或是簡體子呢？對你們韓國人來說什麼語言比較難­學呢？

[loki2504]

ooops, mezclé espanol y italiano , quando pusé "imparando" eso es italiano, estaba para decir 'aprender" xD

[ever4one]

Hehe.. yeah I had to look up that word! and realized that it was Italian! Haha.

[loki2504]

Qué interesante ! dondes vives? en Korea ? aprendi el aléman y me gusta mucho, el idonesio no conosco, estoy aprendiendo arabe,russo,japonés y vietnamita ! me gusta tanto !

[loki2504]

Qué son los idomas que tu estas imparando ahorita?

Escojiste el acento suramericano o castellano para el espanol?

[ever4one]

Tambien estoy estudiando espanol : ) Y hablo con el acento suramericano ^^. Y otros idiomas que estudio ahorita son aleman y indonesio. :)

[laoshu505000]

Excellent video- 10 stars!

[zocurtis]

Yea he's extremely impressive.

[loki2504]

Ton accent est vraiment vraiment vraiment bon !

[ever4one]

Merci beaucoup pour tes gentils mots!!

[Esoparagon]

His English is really impressive.

[Tab0L0knocker]

This was a great interview to do. Hyunwoo Sun is very inspirational. I feel much better about the mistakes I do make when I want to say something that comes natrual to me rather than what is practiced in the books. He is right. Putting yourself into situations where you have to try, even if you don't really have to, always helps, Thanks To all of you. A Fighting for learning Languages *\(^_^)/*

[nicknc]

Finally! The interview! Thanks for posting this.
