Wow, I'm impressed! Your Korean's really good. I mean, I can't believe you haven't(or hadn't, considering it was almost 2 years ago) ever even been to Korea! You speak better Korean than I do! Haha how did you learn Korean? A friend of mine has been trying to learn too, but he's almost given up now because it's pretty hard to learn. I don't blame him. If I wasn't born and raised in Korea, I'm not really sure if I could speak it like I do now! But really. Your Korean sounds perfect. I would love
Awwwww You are just amazing! so now you turned back to your hometown. are you still in univ? :) I'm so proud of your korean speaking hehe keep it up dude!
@mattstrum oh ic, I just found ur channel few days ago *and u know, ur Korean accent is rly good man!* I've learned Korean language since I was 14 and very interested to go to SNU. Btw, how was life there in SNU, and also Seoul? I hope u don't mind with my bunch of questions, thanks for ur reply, highly appreciate it!
@uphdhdm Thanks ^^ I absolutely LOVED living both in Seoul and in the Sillim area. There's always places to go and things to do. Even though I was there for 1 year I was never bored and didn't even get to go all the places I wanted to.
@mattstrum Yes, absolutely right, so many interesting stuffs in Korea, especially Seoul. I just love the atmosphere of Seoul somehow. But never know Sillim >,<. Rly great to talk with you as we have same interest. I also found many things abt North Korea inside ur chanel, where did u get all of those vids? I heard North Korea is a really strict country with a strict government since it's a communist ones.
awsome...i wanna know something!!..how many times deed you study during the 3 years you learn..you need to study every day to know well the korean!?...and how can i learn korean ...from where...because i don´t have a teacher in the place i live...i have to lear alone..i only know a few words because of the dramas..but i want to star from the begining..please it would be a great help..by the way i from portugal..hope your answer soon..;D
@mattstrum oh..! then when do you come back here, usa? It's opposite to me. my time in the us is also almost up.. im gonna come back to Korea this JAN or FEB..
dude ive seen all the movies u wrote and i agree...now i have new favorites but watching those was cool...and i also love big bang and epik high...haha and of course my ultimate dream is to go to korea
@jjm914 wow.. really? you are so rude.. this guy is trying to learn our language, you gotta give him props. don't be so arrogant. don't be hating just because you're jealous. you shouldn't be offensed but rather be proud him for trying to learn our language and culture. you are so pathetic! grow up!
so cute!~ your korean is good considering you've only studied for 3 yrs! you must have gotten so much better by now. i was a fan of soulmate and mawang too!
anyway.. i do hope you teach online. I'm in the philippines and i actually tutor koreans online and help them in english, so i was hoping you do (or can do) the same for people like me. haha. it's great that ur finally in korea now. hopefully, i'll get to do that too...i'll check for your reply. it was great stumbling on your video. aja XD! 화이팅 오빠!
woah. you're impressive! i share your love (but mine's bordering on obessesion really - in a good way!) for anything and everything korean. the culture, the music, the food, the stories in the movies and dramas. do you happen to teach korean online? cause i'd like to sign up! seriously. i think it's best to learn from someone like you: someone who had to learn it as a second language (as opposed to a native speaker) and someone who obviously loves the language and the culture attached to it...
Wow, I am soooo amazed~!!! The most important thing is the fact that you put in a lot of effort to speak the language......Well, I have many Korean-American friends as myself that really can't speak Korean too well but this guy isn't even Korean but it's soo amazing~! I love to learn different languages and culture as well~! Best Wishes~!
i live in maryland!! hahaha ahhh im so jealous of you i wanna be able to speak korean like that!!...im taking my first korean course next semester so im really excited!
And you've only been studying for 3 years?? Wowo.. So amazing. Sorry.. I'm like spamming the video but I'm totally inspired and impressed. Did you take classes? or teach yourself?
@mattstrum That's really awesome. I've just not gotten into speaking it out loud. I've studied the grammar and such for around 5 years.. self taught so it's been a bit difficult getting used to it when actually speaking to others, but I hope to get better at it.
i also want to learn to speak korean and live in korea after studying (architecture)and maybe work there, watched a lot of kmovies and dramas so i can understand a little bit, but its not enough lol
are you kidding me? Your Korean is pretty good...you are being too modest saying it isn't good enough. I've known people who come to Korea and never learn a word of it! I'm only half Korean...still your Korean is way better than mine. I am envious! good luck with things :)
언어 잘하는 사람이 생각보다 많아서 자주 힘을 얻게되네요. ^^ 어떤 한국인은 프랑스어를 쓰는 나라에 한번도 안가봤는데 독학해서 지금 원어민 수준으로 말한다는...anyway, thanks again for uploading this! it gives me courage.
Wow. you studied for three years, you've never been to Korea and you speak this well??? I'm truly impressed. o_O 저도 언어를 좋아해서 영어 한국어 일본어 프랑스어 공부하고있는데, this video is very encouraging!! Thanks for uploading this, it gives me the will to study my languages. 뭐랄까... "나도 열심히 하면 할수있다!!" 같은 느낌이 든달까...
0..0 i wish i was you... i took four years french and i feel like im cheating on it by loving korean so much. too bad i didnt take the step to learning it like u did xp
I think a grammar system between Chinese or English and Korean is too much different to write or speak something in the arrangement of words, isn't it? Even if you got the wrong arrangement of words when you speak in Korean, Korean people can figure out what you say.
OMG you are the best i cant even believe! i thought that you were in Korea but i havent even been to yet! this is crazy.. well you doing great job! i have so many friends who are from the state they dont even speak any words!! hope you will get seoul uni soon ;)
I can't believe you're only 23 because of many things, you're amazing!
You're pretty much my role model and I just found your video...lol,
I'm 20 and just started learning korean, I want to study programming, this year was a really bad one because I wasn't studying or anything and you pretty much enjoy the things I enjoy. Korean stuff + programming hehe.
wooow... you're so good at Korean haha... I'm so obsessed with Korean music and drama/movies xD kekeke.... I only know basic Korean but not as good as you... My Korean friend is teaching me Korean now since last week ... I really hope I'll improve a lot ^^ And damn .. yea I really wanna go visit Korea as well T__T omg.. but I'm still 17 .. it's impossible to go right now.. so sad,,
Wooooow, you are so good at Korean. Way better than me. It is very hard to learn Japanese and Korean for American. Because of it's pronounciation, but I think your pronouniation is quiet good. And I study Korean in my college, but I'm not that good at Korean. Hehe.
I really want to study in Korea, too.
You know, Seoul National University is one of the best universities in Korea.
Your a great speaker dude! I'm impressed, Korean is hard to learn! I'm glad you have interest in Korea, I hope your studies and trip to Korea is good!
와우! 저는 정말 당신의 한국 사랑과 한국어에 감동받았어요. 한국사람으로서 고맙다는 말을 하고 싶어요 그리고 저도 조국을 더 관심가지고 사랑해야겠다는 생각이 들어요. 저는 지금 미국에서 공부하고 있어요. 내년에 서울대학교에 가서 좋은 경험 많이 가질 거라고 확신해요. 오랜만에 너무 기분좋고 , 자극이 되는 동영상이예요. 최고예요.
hay thar fellow Korean learner. Good to see a fellow learner. And based on my experiences in Korea, you will LOVE it like kids love cake. Maybe more... I just got back from Korea about 6 weeks ago. The best part? I went on TV (see my profile)! And you know, this video is kind of making me want to do my own self-intro in Korean...
ohhh.you are so good in korean languages..how you could teach me..coz i am very interested in learing that kind of launguage..it sounds like facinating..hehe..do you have any chance in coming here in philippines?
Hey Man, sounds good. I'm moving to Seoul in September to study Korean at Yonsei. I Hope to be a missionary for Jesus Christ to Korean people. So are you out of Mormonism now?
I first studied Chinese for about a year which got me interested in Asia. Then, I became a missionary (when I used to be a member of the Mormon Church, which I've left) I was assigned to go to Canada and teach the Koreans there. I actually wanted to go to Taiwan, but you don't get to choose where you go (now I'm SO happy I went to Canada and learned Korean). I learned Korean for about 12 weeks and then did self-study for about two years while I was there. I'm been addicted ever since.
U must have somebody who speaks korean around u. How amazing ur korean! Why do u want to go to SNU ?for exchange program? Why don't u just graduate school here n get BA. Then u can teach English and get paid and have fun in Korea. LOL
Well, I don't really want to teach English. I know there's a lot of money in it, but programming is my passion and I believe in doing what I like to do. I'm very excited to go to SNU on the engineering exchange program, I love the process of learning and think it has a lot to offer in that field.
Your Korean is so fantastic! My kids(Korean-American) cannot speak that much. Of course, I feel guilty about it, but I assume you are talented in many areas. Keep up the good work and I hope you go for your dream!
I've turned in my application and my university has sent my application to SNU, but they said they won't make any decision until like October since they process all the applications at the same time.
i was accepted to a public school program here a week ago and i'll be starting in august in busan. like you, im excited about the opportunity. I dont expect to be fluent like you but i hope to at least get the alphabet down before arrival.

Why are you trying to learn Korean language? Are you a half of Korean or just being interesting in studying one of Asians?
Jon747 2 years ago
I actually originally studied Chinese, but I was assigned to learn and speak Korean for two years. I'm continuing it now since I enjoy it so much

I think a grammar system between Chinese or English and Korean is too much different to write or speak something in the arrangement of words, isn't it? Even if you got the wrong arrangement of words when you speak in Korean, Korean people can figure out what you say.

I can't believe you're only 23 because of many things, you're amazing!
You're pretty much my role model and I just found your video...lol,
I'm 20 and just started learning korean, I want to study programming, this year was a really bad one because I wasn't studying or anything and you pretty much enjoy the things I enjoy. Korean stuff + programming hehe.
I hope we can talk or something in the future :]

Wooooow, you are so good at Korean. Way better than me. It is very hard to learn Japanese and Korean for American. Because of it's pronounciation, but I think your pronouniation is quiet good. And I study Korean in my college, but I'm not that good at Korean. Hehe.
I really want to study in Korea, too.
You know, Seoul National University is one of the best universities in Korea.
So GOOD LUCK! Hwaiting!!!

와우! 저는 정말 당신의 한국 사랑과 한국어에 감동받았어요. 한국사람으로서 고맙다는 말을 하고 싶어요 그리고 저도 조국을 더 관심가지고 사랑해야겠다는 생각이 들어요. 저는 지금 미국에서 공부하고 있어요. 내년에 서울대학교에 가서 좋은 경험 많이 가질 거라고 확신해요. 오랜만에 너무 기분좋고 , 자극이 되는 동영상이예요. 최고예요.

hay thar fellow Korean learner. Good to see a fellow learner. And based on my experiences in Korea, you will LOVE it like kids love cake. Maybe more... I just got back from Korea about 6 weeks ago. The best part? I went on TV (see my profile)! And you know, this video is kind of making me want to do my own self-intro in Korean...

How did you first get interested in Korea?
sorry if you've already answered this somewhere at some point...
anyway, I'm impressed by your Korean! good job!
orionorionox 2 years ago
I first studied Chinese for about a year which got me interested in Asia. Then, I became a missionary (when I used to be a member of the Mormon Church, which I've left) I was assigned to go to Canada and teach the Koreans there. I actually wanted to go to Taiwan, but you don't get to choose where you go (now I'm SO happy I went to Canada and learned Korean). I learned Korean for about 12 weeks and then did self-study for about two years while I was there. I'm been addicted ever since.

U must have somebody who speaks korean around u. How amazing ur korean! Why do u want to go to SNU ?for exchange program? Why don't u just graduate school here n get BA. Then u can teach English and get paid and have fun in Korea. LOL
universe00us 2 years ago
Well, I don't really want to teach English. I know there's a lot of money in it, but programming is my passion and I believe in doing what I like to do. I'm very excited to go to SNU on the engineering exchange program, I love the process of learning and think it has a lot to offer in that field.
mattstrum 2 years ago
That's good. U have ur goal. I wish my husband speaks Korean like you. LOL
He is just beginner but don't have really time to practice. Plz Give me some tip how u studied to learn korean. I can use for my husband.

Your Korean is so fantastic! My kids(Korean-American) cannot speak that much. Of course, I feel guilty about it, but I assume you are talented in many areas. Keep up the good work and I hope you go for your dream!

Korean was the hardest. Chinese was way easy (except for the characters), and the rest were latin-based so they weren't that bad either.
