[kimilsungfan]

Kim jong il brought me here

[iluvRainBi]

@kimilsungfan me to bro. lol

[Sleepingpillz]

@kimilsungfan Me too. Fuck all those people who came here for kpop shit.

[breadeoneq]

This is very helpful, recently bought a romanized book to learn korean, but learning hangul is much nicer =D

[shye0715]

Korean character is really really easy to learn. But just Korean is really hard to learn.

[Kmilita1704]

yeih! I'm not the only one who wants to learn this for SHINee hahaha ^^

[iloveTH10]

Jung Yong Hwa brought me here. Haha! :))

[justastarrynight]

Well I'm learning this because of 4 main reasons

a.) most of my new friends speak Korean

b.) I want to understand kdramas without subtitles

c.) i want to understand kpop

d.) why not? learning new languages are fun and useful, especially ones not many people who aren't from that country can claim to know

[MissCherryHugs]

I want to learn korean to sing along with SNSD! =^.^=

[MsJessemccartneylove]

glad i'm not the only american that wants to learn korean because of SHINee lol!! :D

[DestinyChang]

@ anasko it says it sound like ga and your book says ka. Your book says ka because, the sound ga is pushed on, like the g has more humph to it and that humph makes it sound like a k, but it's a g

[anakso]

6:12 around there the top left figure. I bought a korean book that says the first letter in that syllable is K so the syllable is pronounced Ka but you have it as Ga. Which one is right? o.o

[JjangHaru]

@anakso yeah i was confused about that too. But i actually looked it up online not too long ago, and one website was saying that it should sound like a 'ka' if its being used in the beginning of the word and if it was used in the middle of a word then it should be pronounced 'ga'. I'm not sure how right that is, just thought that it might help. ^^;;

[bimbi921405]

2 things why do people go here. They were about to go somewhere in Korea and the other is because of KPOP! :)

[pbarrillea]

The things I will do for Iris

[girly0easter0bunny]

I'm confused though... If we want to spell American words in Korean or Hangul, exactly HOW do we do it?

[131pancake]

@tmdrbs1995 감사합니다!! Thank you for the comment! - Koreanclass101,com

[RhLiSCHkVW]

Cool ....

[maslowsbabexoxo]

haha, im here to learn korean for SHINee too :D

[songokukingdomhearts]

what about the vowel that looks like an "H" and that sounds like "ae" I didn't see it here...

[koreanclass101]

@songokukingdomhearts Hi, the vowel is ㅐ, but we didn't cover the vowel here because it's not one of the basic vowels. and you can find the vowel on our Hangul video series at Koreanclass101,com Visit the website and click the video lessons on the menu. You can learn more vowels beyond Basic.

[locoMiamore]

I love wat SHINee can do to some poeple........ ^_^

[hawaiiatheart]

I like how many people are learning this for SHINee xD

Thank you for this <3

[viewthedr]

SHINee = 샤이니

wonder girls = 원더걸스

SNSD = so nyeo see dae = 소녀시대

super junior = 슈퍼쥬니어

[Bissen]

Wow, she sounds quite a lot like Takase from JPod101.

Yeah, I'm an intruder (Japanese student), but I decided to take a look at hangul.

Great vid!

[MsSoneForever9]

How I wish I'm born to know how to speak korean..

[TheMagicalDarkFairy]

SHINee~ SOON I WILL BE ABLE TO SING ALONG <3

[QuangNokonoko]

I'm studying HanCha, but to write mixed script one needs Chosŏn'gŭl.

[CHRISTHEAVEN1231]

SHINee is the reason I'm here! plus Taemin to be specific ;D

[locoMiamore]

@CHRISTHEAVEN1231 Me too!!! OMG!

[songokukingdomhearts]

so easy OMG, I'm learning Japanese and Chinese and I have to learn all this Kanji, for hangug eon all you need to learn is this alphabet, however I think the grammar is harder :/

[13Sprinklez]

Im New and hehe i have been listening to Kpop now for about 2 years and i can understand a little but i thought that should just learn so i can understand it completely I hope this helps :)

[HannyDr00]

Korea is the reason I'm learning Korean.

[Pinnky1239]

[Pinnky1239]

[koreanclass101]

@chassix3 Thank you. We're glad to hear that you love our videos. Thank you from Koreanclass101,com : )

[chocolatto25]

the sound Ja n Ga like same??

[koreanclass101]

@chocolatto25 @chocolatto25 Hi Chocolatto25, The sounds for Ja자 and Ga가 are different. G is more likely the pronunciation of G in Gangs, while J is like Johnson's J.

[MsMusicPrincess]

ㅂ looks like a glass of water ,ㅈ looks like cat whiskers ,ㄷ looks like a C , ㄱ looks like an angle, ㅅ looks like 人(chinese word for people) , ㅛ looks like two sticks on the ground, ㅐ lokks like H, ㅁ looks like a box ㄴ looks like another angle, ㅇ looks like a o,ㄹ looks like a uber curved worm,ㅎ looks like a man with a hat ,ㅣ looks like an I , ㅠ looks like a pi sign , ㅜ looks like a T ,ㅡ looks like a string....

P.S. 한국,한글,한국어,k-pop 짱!!!!!

[Bullet0718]

@koreanclass101 Best Korean Lesson Thank you =))

[oOshikamaruloverOo]

You guys are fantastic!! Thank you so much!! :)

[koreanclass101]

@oOshikamaruloverOo Hello : ) Thanks for the comment. I hope our other lessons would also help you learn Korean as this lesson did : ) - Jaehwi / Koreanclass101,com

[f3chm3]

and by the way this people in the video say 'its soooo simple' because they knoe it ! ._. if you just knew how hard is for me hahah !

i will be ok .. XD

[SolarTaeyang]

@f3chm3 Well it's maybe hard to remember how you write the vowels ... but if you know that, you can write EVERY word :D so basicly very simple

[f3chm3]

i do this just for Super Junior !! LOL

:D

[thephilosopherkartik]

Standalone Korean consonants and vowels look very similar to Japanese Katakana!

[hsparkor90]

ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅈ may sound k, t, p, ch to non-Korean speakers whenever it is the first part of the word, but it always has a g, d, b, j sound when it is the second or third part of the word. for example, if non-Korean speakers hear a Korean person saying the name of the Kpop group Kara member Kang Ji Young in an American way with surname at the end, it would sound like Chi Young Gang. Names like John Park would be pronounced Chon Bahk, but pronounced Park John if written in Korean way

[tableshore1]

If you like in Palisades Park, thumbs up.

[sugam1]

its easy to learn but there are many letters in vowels somehow sounding the same and the silence letters on the consonants also confusing,apart form this its so easy to follow and its great! may i request the up loaders to kindly give the pronunciations of each ALPHABETS in english as the first letter "giyeok" K/G ,ect... thanks

[koreanclass101]

@sugam1 Hello, Sugam1. I'm Jaehwi from Koreanclass101,com

Thank you for the comment and feedback. Korean characters seem similar each other especially when their sounds are similar. At first, it would be not easy, but I believe that this mechanism will help you memorize them easily if you follow the sounds.

And.. for the name of each character, here it is : )

[koreanclass101]

@sugam1

ㄱ g giyeok , ㄴ n nieun , ㄷ d digeut , ㄹ r rieul , ㅁ m mieum , ㅂ b bieup , ㅅ s siot , ㅇ ng ieung , ㅈ j jieut , ㅊ ch chieut , ㅋ k kieuk , ㅌ t tieut , ㅍ p pieup , ㅎ h hieut ,

[sugam1]

@koreanclass101 Thanks to koreanclass 101for the great help! 

[sugam1]

@koreanclass101 Thanks to Koreanclass 101

[Hanksss]

You should put up a video where you only show how to write each letter! I would love that!

[Screamo4210]

The things K-Pop brings me to. Haha.

[herzmn594]

@Screamo4210 ahah :D SAME HERE !! :D at least kpop made me passionate for something again

[TheDowntown86]

we get it, it's realllly reallllly eaaaasy

[koreanclass101]

@TheDowntown86 Hello. Thank you! It's glad to hear that it was really easy to understand : ) We also have more useful and easy lessons at our website : ) I hope you can get a chance to see them.

[isaiahrivera15]

Confused

[Found2k11]

Hi. I have a question that is kinda bothering me. The work ㄱ and ㅋ. It's Kinda hard to understand when they told me that Kiuek is Kinda a hard K. While Giyeok was like a soft k with the g.... Please tell me about this. Since I find this hard to udnerstand. thank you

[koreanclass101]

@Found2k11 Hi,

I'm Jaehwi from Koreanclass101,com

ㄱ sound is more likely G sound of Green, and ㅋ is more likely C sound of Crayon.

That's most challenging part to learn Korean as Englsih native speakers. Please don't worry about it at the first pace. You'll be able to get trained ears soon.

Blow lessons are recommenable. - Koreanclass101,com / Audio lessons / Introduction level / Pronunciatoin series.

Thank you - Jaehwi / Koreanclass101,com

[Found2k11]

@koreanclass101 But they said ㄱ is G and a K, and The ㅋ is a k as well but some harder k... It's kinda hard.

[koreanclass101]

@Found2k11 Right. Sometimes, ㄱ sounds more likely K in English depends on what vowels and consontants it meets. WIthout knowing words that use ㄱ or ㅋ, even for Koreans, it is not easy to find difficults. If you more words more, then you can get more sense to see the differences.

[robertbeckius]

I cant hear the diffrence between ㅗ or ㅜ.. help plz.

[koreanclass101]

@robertbeckius Hi! Thank you for asking us. Actually ㅗ sounds like Okay's O in English, and ㅜ sounds like 'Yahoo's 'oo' sound in English. It should be not easy to find differences when you only listen to vowels, but you will get the differences if you listen to more words. Koreanclass101,com has lessons for new beginners so feel free to check our website. Thanks!

[robertbeckius]

@koreanclass101 Thank you!!!

[VanillaCupcakez4you]

[ifuplaythendie]

@koreanclass101 thank you :)

[ifuplaythendie]

I can read and write Korean but I just can't understand what does the word means... I need help. When I watch 4Minute Mr.Teacher I can read the Korean subtitle and the other stuff but I don't know what it means! If u can answer, please do!!

[koreanclass101]

@ifuplaythendie Hi, Thanks for the comment. And.. I'm wondering it you meant you don't understand when you are trying to read Korean words although you know Hangul(Korean character). If so, I believe the beginners course at our website will be helpful. If it is okay, you can also listen to lessons with 7 day free trial at koreanclass101,com

[89NKOTB]

@52849266 Hangul is not meaning letter. It's like alphabet. So we can type it very fast and easily.Chinese letter is meaning letter. So it takes more time to type it.

[Electronicality]

they sound so sarcastic ,_,

[XxSayuriChanx]

I have a question o.o???

are your homepage free.. I mean .. really free.. not a trial or so. Because I want to learn this language really.

Please answer me ^________^"

[sugey94]

[YeolEumSon]

Was für ein klasse video!

[koreanclass101]

@YeolEumSon Danke für den Kommentar!

[coolsteven2]

The pronunciations are SO tricky when they get to G, D, T, S, etc.

[Dankman121]

9:15 LOL ZOMG LOL

[RayGlorious]

one day i'll go to korea and have a conversation with B2ST AND MBLAQ !! hahaha 

[stupidsminkle]

when i was in beginner korean class the alphabet took a lot of practice to learn. because they all look similar i had to create little tricks for me to remember. also my handwriting was horrible because i was trying too hard to imitate the calligraphic appearance of the letters ...

[koreanclass101]

@stupidsminkle I think you are now master of all korean alphabets. It should be difficult at the beginning because you should memorize them and assemble them with others. But, Koreans use only Korean characters and I think it should be so much better preparation for learning Korean. I wish you good luck on your learning!

[adrianeaglrck]

oooooweeeeooooo goaoasdkmoza

[BadboiRules]

Why do they keep on saying "It's so eaaasy." I guess you can only say that when you masteres it. lol

[tokee1234567]

@BadboiRules no.. actually Korean is one of the easiest languages to read in the world. Korea has the world's lowest illiteracy rate and kids learn how to read as soon as a 1.5 years old in international age. Most kids can read and write as they enter kindergarten and write journals in grade 1 of elementary school

[BadboiRules]

@tokee1234567 you mean highest literacy rate? :) Hehe, I guess that was months ago, good thing now I can read and write Korean. :D

[89NKOTB]

Hangul is very scientic letter. You can learn very easily.

[Wonderlandwhat]

I'm here cuz I've always been interested in Korean Culture, but I nvr bothered 2 learn their language

[LivingBoredom]

I'm here for 2NE1 and f(x) :)

[xXglittterwitchXx]

I'm here for Big Bang, mblaq, and F.cuz <3

[azariahpeace2]

im here for infinite and SHINee <3

[blingblingshineshine]

I came here to learn Korean because I love Korean Culture and Korea in general <3

I want to be able to speak fluently when I go there,so they might think twice about calling me a foreigner in a rude way!

[fluffybunnyness]

Yes yes, most of us are here for K-Pop and are just all blurting out our favorite groups/artists..including me. SUPER JUNIOR!!!!!!!!!!! ^-^

[BeHappyRelax]

I am 10 and my mom said I have to learn while I am still young. If I learned it I would nit need to wait for subbed episodes! I might even be the one who sub them!!!

[ema707]

Am here cuz of the book blood thicker than water.

Thanx

[6SweetPartyPeeps]

all of the kpop groups brought me here<3<3<3

[prodriguez93]

MBLAQ brought me here ♥

[AphobicSteve]

I love the awkward commentary in this...

[canoncooper]

I'm here because of Tiffany Hwang and SNSD

[EpicAngela1311]

It is true. Romanization makes it hard for us to read Korean. So i've tried the other way and it worked!! I can read Hangul without looking into textbooks or manuals. YIPEEE!!!

[EpicAngela1311]

I'm here because of SS501. I need to understand korean if I really want to be a certified TRIPLE S. SO HERE I AM!!! and I'm gaining progress!! Thank God!!!

[xoxointerspellar]

I'M HERE CAUSE OF BIGBANG

[Sojujinn]

This video was stupid. Romanization is needed to show how the constants are pronounced in English. Foreigners are born knowing Korean. By showing the Roman letters next to the constants and vowels, it is easier to explain to foreigners how the come together to form sounds. Also the both of them repeating themselves over and over, laughing at their own jokes, and not getting to the point of video is very very annoying. Would have been better to make a focused and to the point video.

[khateashlee1498]

they're keep saying "it's so easy" .. Im upset >.< arrggghhh ! :3

[khateashlee1498]

hahahah! I became interested with hangul because of Kpop and their letters are cute too :3 Korea Hwaiting!

[TheComicDj]

I came here because I think their letters are cute because of the circles. lol 

[PlaidShirtsAreAwesom]

To all the Filipinos who watch teleseryes on TFC: I came here because of Green Rose. Lol.

[DeeJaeProductions]

I'm Vietnamese & wanting to learn Korean. Any Korean school in Australia, Victoria, Melbourne? LOL :D ILOVEKPOP!! I am a Korean fan (": I want to travel to Korea :P

[aaronABNORMAL]

@DeeJaeProductions Boxhill has a class or two. n_n

[mileytommy]

[marialenitsaxazoyla]

I'm here because of DBSK <3<3<3<3 :) A.K.T.F

[missFatimah97]

yea , I love kpop =)

[ZeroneRaven]

Damn, Stop saying that it's soooooo easy, it's not that much. =O

I think japanese is easier O.o (dont know, maybe becasue i know but..)

I really wanna learn Korean D=

[ZeroneRaven]

I'm here because of Girls Generation.

And I found this video by searching "Learn Korean" btw.

[akromaakromaakroma]

i don't get the 3rd consonant is it pronounced as "ta" or "da"

[RockWithMascara1995]

@akromaakromaakroma I think is "da". btw if you pronunce D and listen very well, you will notice that should sound a bit like a T even if you don't want to pronunce it.

sorry if I write wrong in english ^^ I'm italian...

[akromaakromaakroma]

@RockWithMascara1995 you wrote perfectly well. thank you for the reply :D i'll just pronounce it as "DA" instead of "TA" HAHA

[rabbitsmakemesquirm]

@akromaakromaakroma i think it's a mix of both so it's t/d

[flip4v]

i think theyre having more fun explaining it then us learning it XD

[mxdp1]

i'm here for SNSD!!!

[PsychoGhoul]

I came because I like the writing and the way the language sounds :P

[ebilekittae]

I came because of MMOs. QQ

[sacrisesma]

All this talk about kpop and dramas convinced me to drop Korean preemptively. I didn't think a language with students more obnoxious than Japanese could exist , but apparently I was wrong.

[Nappy133]

@sacrisesma you stopped learning korean because other people learning it talked about k drama and kpop? why should that make you stop learning a language ? xD learn it if you want to, just dont read the comments xD

the guys in the video are SOOOO cheesy but its
