Hello everyone, how are you? Today, I have prepared a video
Korean conversations. The person I will be talking with today is
where you can listen to
a Japanese teacher who is close to me.
The teacher is really good at Korean
so I wanted to talk about studying Korean with
and
the teacher has been to Korea a lot
So let's talk about traveling to Korea
Let's start now.
Let's see
Hello, I briefly introduced
earlier, but could you please introduce yourself
? This is a selfie. I'm
Japanese, and I'm teaching Japanese online
. I'm studying Korean
as a hobby
...
Thank you. I think it would be good to talk about how we became
friends.
Can you explain? I first met
through a Korean class.
I wanted to practice speaking Korean
so I was looking for a teacher online
and I felt that Su-san was a good match
for my age and style, so I made a reservation right away.
That's right, so at first we met as a teacher and a student
and we continued taking classes
When we saw each other, we became really close. That's right.
We talked a little bit, but the topic was always
how to do it as an online auditor.
Since we were talking about things like that,
it would be better not to take a class, but just
contact me personally and stay that way.
So we are friends now. That's right.
That's right, we met in person in Korea.
That's the kind of relationship, right. When you come to Korea
We met every time and became really close friends.
But I know that Seika has been studying Korean
for a long time.
How long have you been studying
? I started studying
Korean 10 years ago. Oh, you have been studying
for quite a long time. Then, 10 years ago
what was the reason
for you to study Korean? There was a time when
...
I had to choose a foreign language. At that time, I thought other languages would be a little difficult
...
and I felt like I was going on a trip, so
it was a very close country, so I
decided to try Korean, but at that time, I didn't really know anything about music or
...
dramas. So, really
...
I just started with Korean without knowing anything.
Because I started, my grades at that time were really
bad. Oh, it's true, that's right.
If the teacher calls me and says this,
you really have to take this class next year too, so you have to work really hard. I really hate Korean so much
...
...
...
...
...
...
I want to run away
because I wasn't interested
That's right, that's right, those friends
all like gays and dramas
so I did really well, but I didn't know that
so it was just so hard
But that's really a pils subject
I have to do it again next year
It was a class like that and a little test
Just before
when we had some free time, the teacher showed us the drama
in class. We were like
people at that time and thought it was so good
so from then on, I really developed an interest in it, so I ended up watching the drama at home
...
and that's how it happened. Ah, I see
I started out just studying to take the
required foreign language subject, but it turned out to be a drama.
made me more interested in studying Korean. That's right. Oh, I see. It was a
...
people. So from then on, I became interested in Korean,
drama with a lot of pretty
fashion, and makeup.
...
...
...
...
...
I did that. I was studying abroad. From then on, I was taking
classes once a week until then, but from then on, I was taking Korean classes about four
...
a week, going to school on Saturdays,
and going to school
in the name. They didn't have that much Korean culture yet.
That's right, 10 years ago, that's why
there were no subtitles on YouTube or such content.
There was a
person who did that for me, but if I waited for him, it would take
a long time, so I thought it would be better to study
, so at that time,
my skills suddenly improved. It's so amazing. Then,
how did you study Korean back then?
After taking the class, there was another way
In class, I was just studying grammar
with the textbook, but other than that, I was
studying Korean. As I said before, there were
no Japanese subtitles, but there are Korean subtitles
instead. If something is being said, there are
subtitles, so you can watch it and watch it a little
If Dae-jun gets sick, you can just skip it. I was able to do it. Wow, I think you're really
...
...
...
...
amazing. Then what was the most difficult thing when studying Korean? Ah
...
I'm pronunciation. Ah, that's right. Actually,
I've heard a lot that Japanese people find Korean pronunciation
a bit difficult because of the consonants.
That's right, that's right. In fact, for Japanese people,
has the same sound. A little bit of profit.
You're right, you're right. Go to Japan.
If you write it down, it becomes the same hiragana.
That's right, Korean is different so
difficult, but actually the grammar was okay.
It's the same as Japanese
so the pronunciation was a bit of a problem. Ah
I see, then pronunciation would have been really difficult
so do you have any tips on how I
did it to get good pronunciation? I watched
content and practiced
using phrases a lot. I did it. Ah, then you are
shadowing. Yes, yes, then, what do you think is the most important thing when
...
learning a language?
...
...
...
...
...
...
I think it's a good way to change the way you look at it.
Even if you don't know the grammar and just start watching the
content, it's somehow not efficient
...
I know the basics.
I think I can study more efficiently
That's right, that's right, I felt that
Then, is there a mindset
that one should have when studying a language? You like something
...
That's right, yes, I said it was content, but
it's completely different to think that you like that thing so much that you have to study
that thing
That's right, so now I want to study English
so I'm looking for content that interests me, but in the past,
...
I wasn't really interested in dramas at all
Those English dramas, but these days,
There is YouTube. Then, on YouTube, you can
find content that
says the same thing you like in English. It has expanded a lot
...
now, and if you find something like that, you can study by using that
...
content, so it's right to find content you like.
I think it's important, right. That's really
important. Studying textbooks and grammar. I think that's what
...
is needed. As we are
studying another language,
I think we can empathize with it very much. So, can you give some tips for studying Korean to those who are currently
studying Korean, or those who are just starting
or have just started
? Uh, actually, it's
...
what I mentioned earlier, but it's not just
studying hard with textbooks.
I think it's important to find out how to
express the actual content
That's right, it would be good to write down all the subtitles
and for example, if it's a drama,
it's too important to repeat the same drama instead of
just watching it and going to a new drama.
...
...
...
You said that it's
important to find content you can enjoy besides
...
We've been talking about studying Korean like this, and yes, you've been to Korea before. There's a lot
...
That's right. How many times?
You went there about five times, but Hansan
went too long. Oh really, once
for a month uh and twice. I went there two weeks ago
Oh really, then what do you usually do when you travel
in Korea? As expected, I eat
delicious food. I like kaka
so I go to cafes a lot. Actually,
since I live in Tokyo, there are a lot of
cafes in Tokyo, but something is different. Korean
cafes and Tokyo cafes have the same feeling
and I watch a lot of Korean content
So, when I listen to Korean
in a Korean cafe, I can feel like I'm in that drama.
...
I'm so
happy, so that's why I visit a lot of cafes
.
Because you like those cute things.
There are a lot of them in Korea. So
...
...
...
I need a lot
but I'm so happy that I'm living like that
Oh, right, that's right
Then, what kind of Korean food do you like the most? I like bulgogi. Oh, really
...
I can eat bulgogi in Japanese and Korean meals, but in Korea, it's hard to find a pot like this
...
in Japan. Ah,
really, what kind of
Japanese bulgogi do you make and just put it on a plate? And
it seems to be a little saltier. That's what I feel
about the taste. That's why the bulgogi I ate when I went to Korea a long time
was so delicious that
I think I always eat fish every time I go
Oh really, I'll have to eat
together next time. I've seen this
talk about Korean food, and there is a
...
food or place that I'd like to recommend to foreigners who are traveling to Korea.
Han River Han River is right. Han River is a place where you can have a picnic
. That's right. That's right. I went with a friend
...
in the spring
and rented something like a picnic
and ordered some chicken and uh, some chicken and beer
You really enjoyed it. Yes, yes, I tried that
but I was so happy.
The atmosphere is good, and it's the right time.
It's so pretty when the sun goes down. It was
pink and muskin, and it was really
nice. So, when the weather is nice, I'm really, really happy to
do it in the Han River.
Really, I have a lot of really good memories
from the Han River, so I really
recommend going to the Han River. Now, lastly, about the podcast that we
are both doing.
Let's talk about it. Seika Nene said
what's good
when studying languages with podcasts? You said that the best way is to find dramas or other content and repeat it
...
...
and that's right, you just have to watch a little bit of it.
...
...
...
That's right, I heard you do that.
I think that's the advantage of podcasts.
That's right. You can have time to study the language in the middle of
...
I think it's a disadvantage.
I think it's really good that you can listen to it naturally
in your daily life. That's right, I like it. So then
I also listen to your podcasts a lot.
Maybe you listen to Japanese podcasts?
Could you please introduce your YouTube channel to
people? Yesterday, on my
channel, I uploaded daily Japanese podcasts and podcasts
and I'm trying to upload them almost all the time
and I'm also a bit interested in the topic
...
so I'm making a podcast so that
people can find those topics and have fun studying
in case anyone is studying Japanese.
If you have time, I hope you'll watch it. That's right
I also really like your voice and the atmosphere of the video
so I listen to the podcast and yes
I watch your vlogs, and these days I've been posting on Instagram as well
Mini log Ollysia, thank you for watching that
I really like your
sensibility, so if you're
studying Japanese, please visit
once. I think it would be nice. Today, we talked
about studying Korean and traveling to Korea. How was it today?
...
Well, it was great to be able to create content like this
that I made on my own, and I
actually have a chance to go to Korea in a while and meet a simple
person, so I'm looking forward to it even more.
Right, and I want to go there as soon as
I want to go. But now
I can't go because it's winter, right
So I'll go to Korea again in the spring
When I go to Korea
I'll have some chicken and beer in a while, right ah
Okay, so I had a lot of time today
That's right, it was so much fun, thank you
Well, see you next time
Bye, bye
How are you?
