Okay, please Okay, so the first question is and we'll start the first question is kind of like form not formal But it's a simple question and then later we'll probably get to crazy your questions Why did you start studying English? Why Because I think I wanted to become international And I wanted to make some foreign friends that was like my biggest passion when I was young around like 13 or 14 I really wanted to study English and I wanted to make foreign friends and I wanted to travel the world So yeah, that's why I studied studying studying English, I guess And I also wanted to make a foreign boyfriend So because I have to I have to address these things I have to go back So first off alright, so you do a lot of traveling. Well now that especially now COVID is over What are some of the countries you travel to because we have in this Livestream we have people from all over so there's a good chance you may have actually gone to their country. Oh so many like Vietnam India and Thailand and Uzbekistan rush Can I? Russia Nothing political And America I just so many I don't know Been to Canada yet No, no, that's okay. You've been to America. It's okay. You've been to America. That's a jab at Robin Okay, so you've been to a good amount of countries and everything and so of course if people go to your Instagram I know you always post you always post about like the countries you go to and everything so I think they can kind of see that You you wanted a foreign boyfriend Did you ever get that I mean when I was young when I was in middle school I wanted to make a boyfriend of a foreign boyfriend because at the time I was really into some American TV shows or American movies like teenagers movies, you know those things. Yeah Like this channel Okay, ah What? Disney so and what about now are you kind of like just your brain kind of changed a little bit? Are you still pretty open-minded? I'm open-minded because I can speak English right now So I think I can meet lots of different guys and there are so many options So I think even though I'm a little old. I think I still have lots of options You are not You are not old you're you're way younger than me stop How long have you been learning English? How long how long well, let me think about it. So we start learning English in elementary school So that's oh so that was around like when I was seven years old and Now I'm 33. So it's been already like How much how long like 26 years 26 years 26 Mmm, maybe Okay, that's yeah, 26 years. I mean you're not a long time, right? You're not old. You're very young, please. Yeah, but it's been a lot 26 years is a long time though And also people kind of noticed the way you talk you seem that you speak with an American accent Oh, how did you get that? How did you get the American accent? because in Korea when we Learn English from our school. I think we just study in the American English. Yeah, so I think that's why we are all get used to That kind of accents Yeah, the one I'm speaking in like a British accent or Like Aussie Yeah, yeah, we never talked that way. I think so. Yeah, I think naturally I Learned that I think do you do you like the British accent? Like I guess the American accent is your favorite, right? I think it's your favorite. Oh No, I love British accents so much Harry Potter Hey Hey, what a place. Yes, I Love the British accent too. I can't I do a terrible British. I have a terrible British accent every time I try Yeah, they say I sound Australian Every time I try so I'll do it. I'll do it later I'll do it later for you and by the way sleepwalker said Privyat from Russia Privyat Privyat. I think sleepwalker is actually Russian. So she said, oh, yeah Privyat Privyat Isn't it high? It is high. It is high, right? Yeah And we also have another question. What strategy do you use? When it comes to learning English and I and I think you mentioned something earlier that when you were younger you watched TV shows, right? Yes, right. Yeah, a lot of TV shows such as like what is it? America's top models who are Okay, that's yeah, you know that Oh, yeah, what was that idol? It was about like singing audition. Oh American Idol American Idol. Yeah, American Idol. Yeah, it's two things were my favorite shows and you know, their reactions are like really Over because as already compared to Korean things. I understand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so whatever I saw Their reactions. I was like, oh my god. I want to say like them Yeah, just like oh my god like these things Huge motions and everything. Yeah. Yeah, right. It's funny though. Cuz I don't know why you made me think of It's a little bit different. Did you ever watch reality TV shows American reality TV shows? Yeah Oh god So I started thinking about like singles in Furno cuz it's just you know, a lot of people in the chat know that you're You're South Korean and so there's a lot of people who are interested in like South Korea and Korean culture and stuff like that And so like did you ever did you ever watch that it has nothing to do with English? I'm just curious. You ever watch it? Have I ever watched which one was in Furno? It's Solo joke, right? Oh, yeah solo joke No, never really Because I don't know. I feel like it's cringe It is I think what I liked about it was that they tried to make it more like the style was very Western So like if you are used to watching Western reality shows and had that feel but it was also very Korean To in the way that he did it and so I was gonna tell people if they haven't seen it then they can watch it with the English subtitles Mmm, and actually that way is they get the look a little bit of Korean culture when yet actually practice their English too So, that's right, right? Yeah, by the way, I'm Jenna art said that she's subscribed to your channel. Yeah Thank you so So I know will you be learning to speak British English at all? Like speaking I Don't think so, but Wait, I can hear my voice Can you echo echo? Really? Yeah Okay There we go First speaking, I don't think I'm gonna study that but I think for the listening I don't really Understand what they're saying sometimes like actually most of the times so I think I have to study that Yeah, yeah, I think I mean there are videos on YouTube apparently where you can Learn how to speak with the accent like they try to teach you like the the What's the wrong looking for like the the new on not the nuances But like how you annunciate certain words in like whatever accent you're trying to learn because I was trying to learn like the Australian accent and Just for fun just for fun and like I actually can kind of do the Australian accent from learning so Mm-hmm my most brilliant accent if I talk a little bit like this Sound more Aussie, maybe Maybe Okay I gotta keep practicing. I gotta keep practicing Sony's like have you ever been to India? I know you have do you remember which part of India you've been to yeah I've been to um partner Yeah, that's kind of like countryside I'd say Mm-hmm, right. Well, yeah, I've been there for like a k-beauty make-up class. Yeah. Yeah, so I've been there. Oh So you teach Beauty Like Korean beauty. Yes, right. Sometimes I do that. I don't know Like because I'm not like a beauty group But yeah, they invited me and then they said maybe you can teach beauties So I was like me k-beauty. I'm not good at makeup. I don't even Do I I was thinking today like should I do makeup for this life or not? Because I'm such a lazy person but then I was like maybe yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. So I did it and Yeah, thank God. I did it. You look great. You look great. Oh Thank you. Yeah, you look great. So Good job. Good job. Um, good job. Anyway, um So really quickly just want to just take the time also Gina just to tell everyone first of all Thank you for coming to this our Sunday show and everything happens every Sunday at 10 30 our time and create time and Different times depending on where you are So if you have not yet make sure that you support us by joining the channel memberships So we appreciate that buy us a coffee. Look us up as well as if you're not in the WhatsApp group Please join the WhatsApp group. The link is in the description below the video So if you have not done that, please make sure you do So Yeah, that is a great idea Yeah, I know, you know for my old channel. I Try to make it Wednesdays and we were doing it very often and you were coming in and we were like doing like those Streams, but um, I feel that you know Robin has it down to a science. He has his show down to a science So good job, Robin. I know you're out there. He's out there Samo wants to know do you use English a lot in your job or do you speak more Korean? My job, I don't know what my job is actually for makeup classes I Speak Korean because they want to study Korean but for YouTube because most of my audience they are English Speaking they are from English speaking countries. So Yeah, I Use English most of the time and I think that's When my English Improved a lot. Do you remember? Remember my English back then like five years ago. I don't know like four or so five years ago I remember English was like really terrible. I was so shy and I couldn't say I could say just like And then I was just speaking in Korean because I was so afraid of making some mistakes Your English was your English was way way better than you think it was I do know that you did improve a lot and What what would you say was the thing that made you improve the most? I know you said making videos in English, but what do you think it was that really made you improve? So because I make videos at at first I used to write all the scripts So I was just memorizing everything I was trying to do that and then just say that one sentence and then pause and then okay edit and Then one sentence something like that. So I was very Talking like in an unnatural way So, yeah, I Sounded like a robot Yeah, and then I was editing and then I was Watching my videos all the time and then I could see that. Oh my god my pronunciation that time it was wrong and For that sentence. No, I shouldn't say like that, you know So I could see those things my mistakes and my pronunciation and everything through the camera So I think I got to know about them and then I was trying to fix them and I I started watching more YouTube videos And then I wanted to see how they are actually talking so So I think like Recording videos for my YouTube channel and also like watching a lot of YouTube videos I think they all really have my English. Yeah, that's that's really cool that you mentioned that because you know They always tell people It's a good idea to record yourself speaking And then kind of listen for your pronunciation, right record yourself and listen But if you're a youtuber you have to record yourself and listen and watch yourself, right? like you have to do it and You know, I remember I did a couple of videos in Korean in the beginning It was really rough, but then it helped me kind of see where I was at the time So as I got I've improved and improved I was able to look back and then say like wow I did get better like I did Improve a lot in my language. So I think that's a really good tip that you just gave it's just Record yourself right and take the time to write scripts and everything and I know someone asked Did you write I kind of lost it in the chat because But a lot of people were asking did you did you write a lot in English? writing um, I think Yes for the script For my YouTube script, of course, I wrote so many things and for my diary too I used to write so many things about like what happened today because you know, my parents they can see my diary But I didn't want them to understand what I was Writing so yeah, so I was like, okay, maybe I have to write. Oh and also write write write also I had my online boyfriend when I was so young Yeah So that's he was living in China. Yeah, China. So I had to write some letters But I didn't want my parents to see those things. So I had to write in English. So I had to write anyway, you know, so Yes, I wrote so many things in English, of course Oh, I mean, well, you know writing your your secret boyfriend in another country I think that's a good use of your English and helped you improve So it was worth it. Yes Why don't Elijah says hello? Welcome Layla wants to know do you speak English with your family as well or only with your English speaking friends? Oh Actually, that's my problem. Okay I'm not talking English with my family because they don't know how to say that. So it's only me all always It's only me and friends with friends. Yeah Like with my youtuber friends, we talk in English just like Mike Yeah, we talk in English and we mixed that actually like Korean English Yeah, but But most of the time I speak English to the camera So the camera doesn't say anything to me. So my listening is actually kind of bad Yeah, compared to speaking you you notice that right like I sometimes I don't understand and I'm just laughing like I Know for sure. I know for sure Your I always find it funny whenever we talk and you're like you just look at me which you know I do that too. I do that too, especially when someone's speaking Korean to me and it's almost like that Like, you know, you know the deer and headlights look like, you know, you catch something and they're surprised like this So, you know with you you give me too. I feel like you give me two different looks one look is like the this look but then another look would be like you cover it up really well and it's like the Like you're like you start laughing and like this and you nod your head But when you nod your head, you keep nodding and I was like I'm like She's still she's still getting it which is cool because I do because my look is It's like, you know, a lot of foreign people in Korea, you know, we'll say like, no like they're like, yeah Yeah, and we kind of look like that But we don't respond It isn't because we're still kind of translating in our head, right? And I feel like it's just the thing with language, right? Like you don't understand what someone says So like you're too busy trying to like translate in your head what said and then you try to think of a response but Sometimes sometimes they move on they kind of stop talking, you know, and then you're like too late I'm sorry. I realize I'm probably talking too fast now. I do apologize everyone Um, I talk fast sometimes especially when I'm talking to friends And so I just completely forgot my speaking speed. I am so sorry everybody, but um Do you take notes or mini notes on paper when you learn English? Okay, thank you so much for first and Many notes on paper Like for the words that I don't know That I cannot memorize that I always write them I always note them and then I put the paper um, just wherever for example like toilet restroom What I poop, you know, when you poop just see that and then memorize that guys That's the really Do not laugh. That's actually like a really good way I mean, I I agree with you. I agree with you. I completely wholeheartedly agree Yeah, guys guys when you poop then you really focus on something Right, it's really like a good time to study So actually you have to put it like everywhere For example, like the fridge or the wall just anywhere like even even the toilet. Yeah That's a great team by the way, seriously, seriously, I used to study like that when I was in high school and middle school I used to memorize all the words just like that and then I was like, okay now I can memorize all the things I agree with you um I was gonna say like my space would be like the shower because that's where a lot of my thoughts come in but I can see In the shower. Yeah, I get so much but I can see yours is not the shower yours is the toilet Which is cool. Everybody everybody has their places, you know Everybody has their places Right, of course Did you learn more english at school or more by yourself? I would say In the school, I think it's more about like reading and Not even about writing just reading. I would say yeah Yeah, it's mostly about reading and then just knowing about the grammar So grammar wise. I think it really helped me a lot I would say But for other things like especially like speaking for example in korea At the time back then, um, my school teachers, they didn't know how to Speak english even though they were like english teachers Yeah, I think that yeah, I think but they they didn't say anything in english They were talking in korean only so Yeah, I wanted to really talk with somebody, you know, but I couldn't really do that So that's why I went on the internet and then On the internet, there are lots of you know, like online chatting websites. So at the time What was that? I forgot anyway, were you on like side world or something? No, not side world. It's for it's from rosetta stone Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I used to do like lots of online chat But like speaking yeah speaking And with camera sometimes but there were some perverts, but yeah except that everything was okay It was really fun And it was really nice to practice by english. Yeah. Yeah, it's So those perverts everywhere man. They don't ever leave. Yeah, it's good. It's good. Yeah That's a good way to again practice your english is just Go on and I think when did you talk to other people when you were like practicing english? Like you were actually talking to them? Um You mean like not just online or oh, yeah, yeah online online Online. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I talked to lots of foreigners at the time So I was wondering when you talked to them like Whether it was like in the beginning like what what kind of feeling did you feel because you know whenever you speak a foreign language is like you know that That anxiety that nervousness. How did you feel? I was really really really scared. I was really scared and I didn't know what to say So they were saying like hi and then I was like hi and when they were saying like what's up I didn't know what to say anything. So what's up? I used to say like that and then um And then later I got used to it and then I was just practicing it because I cannot see them anyway And they don't know who I am so Let's do it. Let's do it. And then I was practicing that because um, you know lots of people. Okay. Okay. There's another question Oh, yeah. Oh here go ahead. Go ahead and finish saying what you're saying first. No, no, no, no, no, I mean, um um When I was in My first time to go abroad was when I was 21 20 So until then I didn't have any chance to meet any foreigners And I didn't have any chance to practice my English. So what can I do? It's online. So the only way was the online So that's why yeah, I was using internet a lot and yeah, uh A lot of times we make excuses, you know, because I don't have money I cannot go to usa because I cannot go to america. I cannot study english We say that a lot, but I even if you don't have money even if you have nothing We have internet, right? So I think We can do so many things just like this, you know, you can study english with mike and yeah with this live Robin Yeah, robin. Sorry robin Yeah, you're you're exactly right. Yes, and this is the perfect time right the perfect place with the perfect group of people And so because of the internet it helped really connect the world, right? And uh for a lot of people who don't have somebody to study with Or somebody to learn with now is like the perfect time in in history to really be able to learn a language Because we're all connected, right? Yeah, layla layla said something. Here's what she said. Do you think it's okay to ask others to repeat what they say if you don't understand them? I think you should answer mike You think it's okay I I personally think it is okay because as for me as somebody who lives in A country that's not my mother country or my home country Um, it's very easy to agree to things that you don't want to do because you didn't understand um Because I've I've gotten into situations where I was like I said yes, and I should not have said yes or times where like, you know, you Maybe you're paying for something and it's the wrong item, but you don't quite really You know know what to say so you just agree to whatever someone else says, you know And then you end up kind of in a bad in a worse situation So every time as many times as you need to I would say yeah, you should ask for someone to clarify So I'm looking at uh caroline Coraline, excuse me. She said I understand everything they are talking about but I can't speak myself So, you know, it's something you said earlier. Gina is you know, you didn't you needed chances to speak to people, right? And so maybe your advice could speak the core line right now and helping her be able to speak perhaps her english I saw robin robin asked the question he wanted to know do you ever teach in korean? I just can't find it What do you do you ever teach korean? me Yeah Oh, I was thinking sometimes Like sometimes if I want to but mostly it's about slang korean slang Or something inappropriate, so Do not study korean with me. Okay. No Gina Gina is she's a good korean teacher if you're looking for a certain vocabulary. Gina's a good teacher You're like, yeah Do you remember your first youtube video? Well, my first youtube video it was about my travel video um I went to singapore with my sister for the first time in my life So that video was about it. Yeah So and you know what at the time it was my first time to go abroad. So I was really scared to talk Anything in english Yeah, yeah, yeah I and my sister she thought that I was really good at english at the time And my sister was like hey ask about this Hey, ask about this cosmetics about the colors like those things and I was I was so stressed like What should I say? What should I say? So I was So I didn't say anything and then I just um had a fight with my sister I yelled at her like Why don't you say that it didn't crash? And then we were fighting like yelling so loudly at the mall So I feel so whoa embarrassed right now, but yeah at the time I was young and I was so scared You're you're probably what you're probably what like mid no you weren't mid 20s. Are you mid 20s? At the time Yeah, only 20s Early 20s because I was trying to think when you started youtube Because you started early 2010s So, uh, I don't know You don't know. Okay. Okay. Maybe that's that's a question for I can answer myself offline. Okay. Um In your opinion Do korean people care a lot about english or not? Of course we do care about english I don't really understand what exactly about like care about english, but I think We are trying to study english the whole whole life our whole life Yeah, entire life and Uh, if someone is really good at english, then we are like, oh wow, you're so smart And that's why a lot of korean americans. They are kind of popular when they Speak in english they are we are like, oh my god, you're so hot You know Just because it just because of english, it's like, um, yeah. Yeah, right, right. Yeah Do you do you agree like I think Yeah, like especially if you speak english, then it's like is it yeah, they can see you really cool Um, unless you're like a jerk and then they just don't like you just a jerk who speaks english um But then like I've been around koreans who speak really good english And then like other koreans are like, whoa, like even like let's say we're at dinner and like i'm talking to Someone else who's korean in english and then like the table beside us. They're listening And they're trying to listen and they're like Whoa, their english is her english is really good or his english is really good Like it's like they're very curious about why someone else is really good at english Yeah, right Yeah, the the other day I was with you know with rose and everything and uh We were at a restaurant with another couple of friends and these guys beside us they were like They were listening to us and then they started asking her questions about why she speaks english and everything And so she was she was talking to them and then you know, they asked her what she did and she's like I'm a teacher and then they said okay. We're loan sharks so You know a loan shark is A loan shark is somebody who gives you money They let you borrow money and if you don't pay back the money Then they come they come over and find you and beat you So, yeah, we met a couple of them the other night.

Yeah, you're you're very easy to understand. You're very easy to understand. Um, I'm cool. Sorry. I just I just wanted to put that out. Thank you, elijah. That's for my self-esteem Um, and also layla says she is going to watch your channel. Thank you so much And she's like Anna Anna wants to know are you a stylist? Me No But one time I Yeah, but one time I Worked as a stylist just one time Um for a celebrity in korea Because I got that opportunity for uh, what is that lookbook? That oh, yeah, lookbook. Yeah, yeah for the lookbook. I did it. Yeah, just one time I love, um Sorry, I was reading some of the comments. Mike and Gina will you create more youtube videos together? They are hilarious Um, I think we we will we will in time. I think we just I think for a little bit I got off course For sure with my old channel not too sure where else were to go with it. And so I kind of Went one direction and then Gina kind of kept going her direction. But then Yeah, it will probably end up working together soon In that sense Uh, thank you robin for the for the awkward question. Did your friendship with mike every ever get awkward? What doesn't mean I don't know. It's it's it's robin being robin. Um, I don't think we it's ever been. Oh, you know, here's was really funny Here's was really funny though. Um When I So where i'm from in the south you've never been to georgia No, in that region, right? No, so for us in that region. We're very touchy We're very touchy people and so and americans also are Somewhat touchy, but then people in that region are very touchy. So whenever we greet people We typically greet them with hugs. So I was like, hey, and we hug them, right? Um, koreans not as much. They don't they don't hug at all. That's not how they create and so every time I And everyone it's really funny. I laugh every time I do it every time I see gina I'm like gina and then I give her a hug and then gina will give me we call it a church hug We call it a church hug and a church hug is when someone gives you a hug with one arm And then they straighten their body. So they're really far away from you, but they have one arm wrapped around Gina will give me a church hug But then I'll kill her a big hug just because it's just like I haven't seen you so long friend big hug She's like, hey like Yeah I'm I'm so used to I'm so used to those hugs. So every time I always laugh. So I'm sorry. I I do that just to also mess with gina, but Of course. Anyway, anyway, um Is a good question from leila. Do you ever Um face any difficulties when you learn english? Yes, whenever I watch some Um movies I kind of fully understand what they're saying Especially when they're like when they joke about something. I don't get it So everybody's like laughing and I'm like Huh You know, so I think I have to I mean, there are some things that I don't understand about like everyday life. I guess Because I study english only in korea. I think Um, so Maybe if I go to america and like live there, then maybe I can learn about those things, but There's no way to study that. So is there any tip for that mic? That's a really good question. Um, I think you're actually right You would have because some of those things like Humor things being funny. It could be very cultural And like there are some things in korea that like I might hear a joke in korean Or something from a show and it's like I don't get it and I have to ask somebody else And it's because they're referencing something else Right and there's a lot of times within like american humor like movies whether it's a marvel movie or something Someone says something funny And it relates to something else and if you don't know what that something else is Then you kind of completely miss the joke Uh, I see this all the time whenever I'm in um when I go to the movie theater And I'll watch a movie and you know in korea everyone a lot of the movies that are like really big movies Um, they'll keep it in english and then they have korean subtitles And so for me, I'm listening to the movie while most people are just reading they're reading kind of the movie and I'll get a joke so fast. I'm the only one in the theater laughing And then everybody else it's just it's just really quiet And so I feel bad because I'm laughing but it's a really but whatever happens a good joke And let's it's more of a visual joke right like somebody trips or something Silly happens and you can see it and then it's funny right versus it's just like this So I think to answer your question. I think yeah, you would have to understand the culture Really? That's like the only way So unless anybody else has um Any other suggestions and robin says I've never hugged him Uh, I hug I saw you. I didn't hug you last time. I think I did I did I did the bro hug. I did the bro hug If not, I'm a bro hug you next time. I'm a bro hug you next time. Gina.

But how about people who don't have that opportunity? I think you you've answered Yeah, yeah, but how do you but I guess um Right now, how do you immerse yourself like right now? Like you said how you've done it before when you were learning english, but like now How do you put english all around you? Maybe like the sticky nose at the toilet.
