[Korean Listening] 😭 Why is my Korean NOT improving? (KOR/ENG SUB)

안녕하세요, it's Yeji here! To study the video with the full transcript and English translations, click here: bit.ly/42VezIH I hope you enjoyed this video 😆

Improving - just slower at 66 years of age - but I won't be giving up!!

This is a really great format to listen and learn. Thank you, TTMIK and Yeji선생님. 🙏🏻

I often times find myself listening to content in English about learning Korean and think I would really like to find versions that are in Korean so they can actually help me. This was perfect! Thank you

This is the most helpful video I've EVER seen regarding how to learn a language. Thank you so much for doing this. I'm a beginner, so I had to turn on the subs, but I will come back to it over and over for different reasons.

It's sooo helpful that you create these podcasts with Korean and English subtitles! :) Please keep this up! :) 그리고 고마워요!!!

너무 너무 감사합니다 🥰Yeji 선생님. 저도 외국어 공부할 때 이런 문제가 있습니다. 선생님 말씀대로 꼭 하겠습니다🤗 수고하셨습니다.

I really love this format a lot! The difficulty was just right for me as an intermediate learner and it doubles as amazing listening practice alongside the content discussed itself being really helpful too. Please keep the English hidden as captions by default like in this video; otherwise I'll get tempted and only read the English 😆

감사합니다 Yeji. This format is really nice Yeji. I can listen while at work. The way you speak and the speed are really nice. Also, the very quiet and soft background music is perfect. Thank you for your hard work and effort to teach us. ❤

This kind of format is very helpful, thank you!

That kind of videos are really helpful! Please do more videos like this, especially with korean subtitles

Thank you so much for this, Teacher Yeji. It helps me to assess my listening skills as well as reading Korean faster. I hope to see more contents like this. Thank you, thank you ☺️☺️💕

This format is soo good! Love listening to Yeji's voice! :)
I can listen to this while I'm running on the treadmill! Korean level +1 without even trying!

I really liked this video and the fact that you provided the Korean subtitles along with it made it easy for me to read along. In fact, I decided to challenge myself and put the video on 1.5 speed and thanks to the subtitles I was able to catch everything 😊
So yeah, these kinds of videos are great and I can only agree with the other commenters. Hope you consider uploading more content like this ❤

Very interesting, helpful content. Please have more of these vids! Thank you TTMIK team and Yeji-선생님 🥰

Wow! I love this format! Soooo useful. Thank you Yeji for making it. Please make more of this format, it helps a lot people at the intermediate level. 😍

this is so helpful, not just the study tips (and also the transcript), but also the way the video is presented. the video actually gives me motivation to study, definitely gonna try using the methods that Yeji shared in this video. i hope this can be made into a series. thank you Yeji!

Great format, perfect talking speed and interesting topic. 정말 감사합니다!

thank you for this informative video! not only for the useful tips but also for the transcript which helped me to recognize certain vocab and sentence structures. i hope you keep making videos like this :) 감사합니다

이런 영상은 너무 필요하고 좋아서 정말 감사합니다 예지 쌤 ☺️

This is really great, I didnt feel bored at all through out the whole video and also got familiar with some new vocabulary too. I hope you do more of this ❤

이런 영상은 참으로 최고다! 듣기하고 읽기도 연습을 할 수 있고 여러가지 단어를 배우기도 했어요. 그런데다가 많이 유용한 조언 받아서 진짜 진짜 감사합니다~

This is such a great format and really helps me practice. I'd love to see more of this!!

such a great work to help me easily study Korean ❤ I love that kind of video please make it moreeee

I loved this format. 너무 감사합니다

this is incredibly helpful! thank you so much!

이건 타이프 콘텐츠 제가 너무 좋아서 발음하기에 많이 엄청 도와주든데
고리고 더 중요한 듣기 능력도 잘할 거예요 ......이건 특별한 콘텐츠 대해서 TTMIK 항상 너무 감사합니다 ❤❤❤

이 듣기 연습이 너무 좋아했어요! 감사합니다!

enjoyed your video! As a Korean teacher, I am very happy that there are many teachers who create such good Korean education content!

예지 쌤, 영상 잘 봤습니다 !! 이 포맷 너무너무 좋고 다음 영상 기대할께요. 목소리도 너무 좋고요

All my new vocabulary words I list in sentences but they are other people's sentences. It never occurred to me to also write my own sentences which would help me memorize them better and help with my speaking. This is all extremely helpful and I will be implementing it with my Russian self study as well. Love this format and I look forward to another episode. Thank you!

Wow so informative i needed this

Thank you a lot for this special way to improve our language, ❤❤ keep going your doing well ❤❤

Muito muito muito bom!!👏👏👏
Faça outra aula de leitura igual a essa por favor 🙏

I loved this vid. Please make more like this!!

Thank you so much for this video, love it so mucb bcos it really help in reading Korean words as well as learning to form sentences!💖

듣기 연습 영상 만들어 주셔서 너무 감사합니다! 진짜 이런 한국어로 이야기를 들을 때 더움이 돼요! Yeji 선생님께서 새로운 어휘와 표현 쓰시면 저 이 단어 쉽게 외워요. 이 주제도 정말 재미있어서 즐겨 봤어요!

This was very helpful.
감사합니다 예지 선생님!

These Korean listening ones are so helpful. Especially the topic ones like your latest posts. Talking about things in Korea makes it entertaining too.

너무 너무 감사드립니다❤
한국어로 자막이 있어서 쉽게 새로운 단어를 배우기도 하고 한글 읽기 실력도 연습하게 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다. 이제 제일 한국말 공부하는 방법을 쌤이 알려 주니까 저는 더 잘할 것 같아요. ^^

우와 예지 선생님 너무 너무 감사합니다 🥹🥹
재밌었고 정말 유용해요.
I’ve been struggling with speaking and vocab and you have shared very useful tips. I can’t wait to put them into practice 😁
TTMIK 제일 좋아요 🫶🏾🫶🏾

정말 감사합니다, TTMIK! ❤️

예지 선생님 감사합니다! 요즘 한국어 배우는 게 저한테 좀 어려웠는데 이 영상이 정말 도움 될 것 같아요. 이 영상에는 소리랑 글만 있어서 읽기와 듣기 연습을 하면서 좋은 조언도 받으니까 너무 좋습니다. 감사합니다! :)

재미있게 들었습니다. 6개월 동안 전 한국어가 늘지 않아서 답답했는데 이 영상을 보고 나서 앞으로 유창하게 할 수 있는 희망이 생겼어요. 고맙습니다!

Great format... love it!

예지 선생님, 감사합니다! This was helpful for my learning!

감사합니다!! 진짜 재미있었어요! ❤

정말 즐겁게 봤어요! 이런 영상을 더 많이 만들어 주시면 너~~~무 좋겠어요. 감사합니다!

이게 너무 도움이 된 영상이 주셔서 감사합니다. 한국어 자막이 있고, 좋은 듣기 연습이고, 새로운 어휘와 표현 있고, 너무 힘들지 않고, 재일 좋아하는 영상이요. 이런 스타일 만든 영상 더 만들어 주세요.😊 수고하셨습니다 티티믹 팀!

거의 다 알아들어서 기쁘네요~ 예지선생님의 목소리도 설명도 너무 정확하고 듣기가 좋습니다

I listened without subtitles and read along with the Korean as practice. I feel like I understood maybe... 65-70%(?) but I'm really proud of myself for it. I had started to become frustrated at my pace and feeling like I wasn't learning fast enough, but it's really good advice and comfort.

감사합니다~

this was so helpful!!

This video is very very very helpful.
Kudos to all at TTMIK.
Please continue to do it in the future.

Well my good sirs/ma'ams, my Korean was not improving until last week when I decided to watch your videos while writing down all the sentences in a notebook and reading them throughout the day until I know them by heart. Looks like my method has always been very scholar!

Thanks for the video! I've been learning Korean for half a year now, but my biggest problem is still listening^^ I'm German so talking is fine as well as writing, but if I listen to Korean I can never understand without subtitles. But it's also hard to practice with movies and stuff, cause the subtitles always differ from what's really said.

우리 선생님 정말 감사합니다! 한국어에 대해 한국어로 영상을 보고 있는데 처음에는 너무 어려웠지만 이제 더 쉬워졌으니까 엄청 기뻐요!! 특별이 이 영상 듣기만 해봐서 아직은 모르는 단어를 있지만 배운 방법으로 공부하고 나서 영상을 다시 볼께요! 도와주셔서 감사합니다!!

thanks Yeji! thanks TTMIK! i really love this format. For me, I struggle with hearing. It is almost impossible for me to understand most of the time because it is either too fast or I couldn't make sense of the words. With this format, it allows me to hear at a good pace and read at the same time!

Thank you very much for this video, do such content a lot because it helped me a lot❤️ 너무 감사합니다♡♡♡

i need more videos like this!

My way of memorising words changed throughout the time. At first I just used anki and made countless flashcards of single words and translations on the other side. After getting to around 3000 cards learned I started making sentence flashcards. I'd pick a sentence with max 2 unknown words. highlight them and on the other side I'd just put the translations of new words but not the whole sentence. I think I can memorise the words better in context like this but I think we need to have agood base of words to do this, otherwise every words in an unknown word :)

이 영상을 만들어주셔서 너무 감사합니다! 정말로 많은 도움이 됬거든요. 사실 저는 이렇게 긴 영상에 집중을 잘 못 하지만 이번에 재미있게 봤어요. 특히 영어 자막을 추가해주셔서 고마워요. 이런 영상을 더 만드시면 좋겠네요. 🫶

이 영상을 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다! 새로운 단어랑 잊어버렸던 단어를 자연스럽게 공부했어요!

예지 선생님, 한국어 공부하는 우리를위해서 이 녹음을 만들어 주셔서 정말 감사합니다💛 그리고 선생님의 목소리는 너무 아름답고 듣기 좋습니다!

예지 쌤 목소리 너무 따뜻하고 듣기 좋아요☺ 밤 라디오라면 딱이에요 ㅎㅎㅎ

선생님, 이렇게 좋은 영상을 촬영해 주셔서 감사합닙다! 이런 고민을 해서 도움이 너무 되었습니다~

This was really useful, I use the same journal method for Catalan language but for Korean language I am so lazy. Thank you Team TTMIK!

와 이거 진짜 도와줬어요. 저에게는 말하는 것이 아니라 듣기가 가장 어려운 것인데요.
이런 영상을 좀 더 해 주세용.

선생님, 한국어 듣기 연습을 위해 이런 영상을 만들어주셔서 감사합니다! 영상을 보면서 새로운 단어들과 표현들을 많이 배웠어요. 주제도 한국어를 공부하는 분들에게 흥미로울 것 같아요. 선생님이 이 영상에서 추천하는 연습 방법들을 해볼게요. 감사합니다 😊

I just listened and cleaned my whole room Ty for ur hard work

선생님 안녕하세요
내용이 너무 재미있습니다. 감사합니다❤

Thank you for sharing this study method. I’m going to try it out. I really want to speak better but don’t know where to start.

This video is excellent, would love to see more of these, even if the actual content isn't about helpful studying tips, but just random topics being talked about to help practice listening with everything subtitled and easy to check afterwards.
The sentence making strategy is also what I try to do when I can when studying, but do others struggle with coming up with sentences to write? Even in English I can't think of a sentence to write for the vocab words to then try to say in Korean. I never know if this is just me completely lacking in creativity skills (lol) or if it's my own difficulty in trying to translate or what. But it makes me not want to take time making sentences with vocab words because it'll take like 10-15 minutes just to come up with a few sentences to say. And then if I try to do it quicker I just find myself saying very similar simple things that I feel don't necessarily help me that much. Anyone else have this kind of problem or know a way around it to help make it easier to come up with sentences to write?

감사합니다 선생님, 단어가 어렵지 않아요, 제가 잘 이해했어요❤ 이렇게 영상을 많이 만들어 주시면 좋겠어요😊

예지 선생님, 이 동영상을 만들어 주셔서 너무 감사합니다. 정말로 도움이 됐습니다. 언어 학습자로서 한국어를 많이 공부했는데 늘지 않다는 고민이 많이 들고 한국어를 공부하기 시작했을때보다 이 느낌과 생각이 훨씬 더 들어요. 저는 앞으로 이 수준만 계속 있다고 생각도 했어서 가끔 공부하는게 힘든 순간 있었어요. 그런데 이 방법들 추천해주셔서 제가 다시 노력해 보고 한국어를 향상시켰으면 좋겠어요. 다시 한번 너무 감사합니다! 😊

고맙습니다. need more of these, thankss

감사합니다 ❤

팟캐스트 만들어서 정말 고마워요 예지 씨😊 저는 한국어 듣기는 지금 나빠서 이제부터 열심히 연습하고 싶어요. TTMIK으로 한국어 공부하는 것 정말 쉬워요. :)

마치 친구가 옆에서 조근조근 이야기해주듯… 목소리가 다정해요😊😊

대단하십니다. 촣아요.❤❤

이 영상은 엄청 좋아요. 편하게 들을 수 있어요 😊 요즘 저는 공부를 별로 안 해서 더 연습해야 돼요. 저는 한국어를 4년째 공부하고 있지만 특히 제 듣기랑 말하기 실력을 더 늘고 싶어요 ㅠㅠ TTMIK으로 저는 더 공부할 거예요~

thank you verry much a lot of these things i didn't know yet ❤❤

Finally some more advanced content!!? 😊😊❤

I'm a very old French lady. I've been learning Korean by myself for 18 months now and it's very challenging . I live in a small town and I will never have the chance to meet Korean people to talk with them but learning Korean is very interesting. I try to break sentences of songs that I like to be able to understans them and sing along. Now I am able to understand some sentences when I watch K dramas but I don't think I will ever be able to fully undertans without the subtitles. But I will try to use the advices you gave us in your videos. Writing a diary will be helpfull, no doubt. So , thank you a lot.

너무 좋아요 선생님...
한국어를 공부하고 있는 저희들에게 큰 효과가 돼요. 저에게는 듣기 연습도 되고 발음 연습도 돼요.재밌게 봤어요.앞으로도 이런 영상을 또 해주세요. 정말 감사합니다.

정말 고맙습니다….앞으로 이런 영상을 많이 만들기를 바랍니다

제가 말하기 에대해서 너무 부족해서 이 이야기들이 저한테 많이도움이 돼었으니까 너무 감사합니다 선생님

Dear TTMIK team, dear Yeji, thank you for your work and this video! :)
I am a beginner in Korean and paradoxically, I have the biggest problem with listening I think. I have a Korean online chatting partner and we often exchange Korean sentences - I think I do not have a problem to write a sentence, to say it or to read the sentence from my friend (although my vocabulary is still very weak).
However, we also exchange short voice recordings, and when it comes to listening, even at very slow speech, I need to play the recording 7 or 10 times to try to catch the meaning - even if it is a very simple sentence. Although I just completed Level 4 (I fully understand all the grammar points), I still have a problem to fully understand (listening-wise) the summary listening test for Level 1.
The problem is maybe my vocabulary or maybe that I do not look at the sentence as a whole, but I am trying to analyze individual grammar points and then I am stuck at one unfamiliar word and cannot move on (or I simply miss the rest of the sentence). Do you have any tips how to become better in listening? Thank you so much!! :)

Thanks for your video 💙

예지 선생님, 유용한 조언과 매우 흥미로운 팟캐스트에 감사드립니다.

좋은영상 잘봤습니다!

Yeji 씨, 너무 너무 감사합니다!!! 일기를 쓰기로 했어요!

ASMR ❤ Thank you for the great video, I've been waiting (patiently) for more intermediate-based content from the TTMIK team now that Bimbimchat has stopped. There are so many beginner lessons out there it's nice to have something for us :) Really love this format too - 25 minutes of one person only talking in Korean about one topic in detail is brilliant. Moooore please :D Also, I have been writing up notes ONLY in Korean on new grammar points I learn/new words I come across and it's helped me a lot. I also add my own sample sentences to the write-up which is helpful. Sometimes I don't fancy writing about my day in Korean, so this helps me get the writing practice in without having to write about work, etc. haha.

Dear TTMIK please open a course for TOPIK 2 😊

Hello, I really hope you see this comment! I've been using TTMIK resources for so long and you guys are the best. I have a very specific struggle with my Korean skills - understanding the speech of elderly people in Korea!!
Specifically, a lot of older people (moreso with men, but with women too), who tend to mumble and abbreviate speech more, regardless of their regional dialect. With both my Korean spouse's older family members, and with my elderly neighbors, I lack confidence in starting conversations with this demographic because I have so little exposure to Korean listening resources in which the speaker is elderly, and I often end up not being able to understand much of what they are saying to me.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if you guys could create some resources that involve listening practice with elderly Koreans!!

감사합니다.가장 좋은 방법을 알게 됐습니다.감사합니다.선생님 말씀 대로 해보겠습니다.❤

정말 진심으로 감사드립니다❤

i love this!!!

와우 정말 유익한 동상입니다.
제가 예전에 고민했던 것과 똑같고
그 고민에 결론을 낸 공부 방법도 비슷해요.
한국어 배우는 친구들은 예진씨 말하신 방법으로 하면 실력을 향상시킬 수 있어요.
그리고 한번 더 강요하고 싶은 부분이 있어요 ^^
외국어를 배우면 배울 수록, 내 연어의 선생님은 나라는 것을 알게 되어야 해요 ~
다음 영상을 기대합니다

한국 사람인데 한국어 공부하고 싶어지는 영상이네요 ㅎㅎ 감사합니다!
