Hi, I'm a native Korean. I watched this video because of my penpals who wanna know to read and write Hangul. I think Billy pronounces these letters better than me lol.

when he said "it's not 'na' it's more like 'na'" i nearly passed out,,, this shit is difficult man ;-;

I watched all the ads, so you could get full ad revenue as a thank you for the free course. ☺

I know that 가 나 다 are simply the first three syllables of the Korean alphabet. I also know that Canada is 캐나다 in Korean. But my Japanese side is used to カナダ (kanada) meaning Canada. Therefore I keep hearing 가 나 다 as Canada lol

Romanization is the fastest way to NOT learn Korean.

i love how this is all free it’s really helping already and this is the first lesson, thank you billy

Wow you must have prepared for this series for a long time, coordinating the sequences and materials!

I’ve been using this series to try to learn Korean (for the seventh time lol). I just rewatched this episode with my 7 year old sister, who finds Billy very fun to watch and follow along with! She even took her own notes!

Billy: Avoid romanization Me: *eyeballs the various kpop fanfics on tumblr/wattpad*

I had no intention of even learning Korean until I saw how high quality this course is - keep it up 😁

I'm learning Korean via Duolingo, and after watching a youtube live from you by pure chance, decided I'm going to do this 100 courses starting this week :) French native speaker here. But I also do speak arabic so might help with pronunciation heheheh

I have dreamed of learning Korean for over 10 years (since college). I have 3 tiny kiddos and only have time to learn after 9 PM when they're asleep, BUT Billy -- I am SO grateful for these high-quality, well-explained lessons. I am an avid note-taker and am following along closely. I am so excited to finally learn how to correctly form the letters and appreciate your warning about romanization. I want to make labels around the house to learn Korean nouns and I was almost thinking about putting the romanization underneath -- now I know not to do this for my own benefit!

가 खा 나 ना 다 था I'm an Indian and Hangul sounds a lil similar to Hindi which is my mother tongue. I hope I can use that as a merit. Your videos are really great tho. Thank you. :)

Romanization pisses me off so much for some reason lol

To me the "Ta" sounds like a "Pa." Just like you did with "la/ra" aound. It would've been perfect if you could add the tongue positions of these sounds and compare them with the tongue and lip positions of the english sounds. You could make a separate small series and I believe it would only take maybe 2 or 3 at the most to get all the difficult sounds.

i used duolingo for a bit but it was actually so hard but you explain things so nicely thank u sm im going to try to watch all 100 videos

It feels like I'm inside a real classroom learning with an actual teacher (a fun one!) Im so excited to start learning Korean. It's a part of my journey to learning as many languages as I possibly can. Your teaching style is very simple and easy for me to understand, you explain it so well! Im so happy you put your effort into making this series I really need it :).

I have tried other beginner videos in the past and yours is definitely my favorite! You do so well at explaining all of the important structures and words, that it makes since right at the beginning. I also don't feel overwhelmed when doing your videos. Thanks Billy

I’m so glad I stumbled across your videos! Been teaching myself Korean via various books and other online videos, but I highly enjoy your teaching style already. Thank you for providing this extremely valuable resource!!

Thank you Billy! I finally found the channel that suit me to learn Korean Language. Your teaching style is remarkable. I am not boring anymore.

alright billy here i go to starting my Korean journey 😼

Thank you Billy. Just started my journey learning the Korean language and came across your videos. Thanks for taking time to let others learn something new.

I´m a newbie from Brazil. Thanks so much for your generosity in offering this course for free!

I completely agree with the romanization advice. I also completely avoided romanization when I was learning Japanese.

I have been trying to learn Korean since the last year but I still had so much confusions regarding the basics of Korean. But you explained it so well thank you so much. No doubt, you've put you years of effort in this 10 minutes video. I really appreciate you hardworking. I've kinda became a fan of yours. Once again, (Thank you sooooo much). Keep it up. Love you

I love your lessons. Thank you so much for making this language course.

Something that really helped me with these syllables its thinking numb mouth, its like a relaxed t and d but sound similar to when you're mouth has a numbing agent in it. That usually helps me

Thanks so much. It's so much easy and fun to learn Hangul as a beginer teaching by you. I must say I care about the voice and tone of the teachers. If I don't like teachers' voice, I can't really listen and learn. And thank you for explaining many facts, sharing information about Hangul. I am so glad.

I started my Korean lessons and wow, this alphabet is actually very simple to learn

you made my journey of learning korean better mr billy! thank you so much for this course

One thing that would be helpful to know is tongue placement when saying the consonants. I am hearing impaired, and my specific hearing loss is related to high frequencies. In the speaking world, that means it is challenging to hear the differences between consonants… words like ate, ache and ape sound the same to me. I read lips, which is very helpful! And with that, some consonants like d and t not only sound similar, but appear similar when reading lips. But when I pay attention to what my tongue actually does when saying those letters, there is a notable difference: t’s depend more on the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth; d’s depend more on the end of the tongue being a bit flatter where it touches the roof of the mouth. Adding info about what is happening with your mouth with the sounds that are a tiny bit different (and very important to correct pronunciation) than what one may say in English would be helpful to everyone probably. An idea for future lessons!

I actually came here for the syllable blocks, cause I somehow managed to learn stroke order and reading 한글 but not syllable blocks so thank you a bunch Billy.

I'm studying Japanese and I can always see when someone haven't learned the stroke order, it's super easy to spot, so the first thing I did was to search for Korean stroke order.

starting today: 18 november, 2023 learn korean by new year lets go

I’m working with a teacher to undo what romanization screwed up in my head. Thankfully I figured out early on that romanization was really messing me up and didn’t sound right and I was able to find someone who could teach me properly.

Lots of love from a newbie Learner like me,Mr.Billie...

I'm still trying not to prefer to romanization because it is confusing when preferring to it. By the way, thank you a lot for making such efforts to help others that want to learn hangul like me.

Thank you so much to film these videos!

Hey, I just want to say thanks for sharing. I've been trying to learn Korean for a while. I can write in Hangul, but everything else is a challenge. You make it seem so easy😊

I learned Hangul already but I wanna do some practice before I go further than that :) Thanks, Billy💜😁

Thank you for explaining why stroke order is important. When I see different fonts of Korean on signs (or, god forbid, handwritten notes 😂) the stroke order really helps my beginner brain separate the letters.

Billy…..thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I just found your Chanel this afternoon, and am so glad I did.

anyone here listen "Ca-na-da" when he pronounced the syllables?

You make it look simple Mr Billy. I learn faster when I'm face to face with a teacher and your vids actually looks like I'm in a classroom with a real life teacher❤. Thank you so much🌹🌹

This help me a lot on learning Korean language and HAN-GUL, Thank you so much!!

I am an INDIAN 🇮🇳and i can say that Learning korean for Us has an advantage because Our language HINDI aslo has similar words and pronounciation But it totally depends upon you ,how much effort and time you give to Learn Korean (Koi zarurat nehi Korean seekhne ki) - 6th Jan,2024

Good to know that it has been years when you started this series but still getting lots of THANKS in comment section haha ....Btw thanks man we really appreciate your hard work .

The sounds are pretty similar to Hindi sounds, which is my mother tongue and it's easier to make notes using Hindi rather than Roman alphabets. I hope I'll learn faster if my brain allows.

I bought your book. I really appreciated that you included some history.

Very practical. Easy to understand! Thanks !

I am currently in Riyadh. I will be going back to the Philippines next year. I started learning this language because my next destination is Korea. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much for this videos Sir Billy. God bless you more 💙

Hi, I'm Indonesian. How lucky I found your videos, I can learn not only Korean but also English Speaking well...Thank a bunch Billy...

I know I've got a clown face, but I'm genuinely becoming an English teacher, a language teacher so to speak, I've to say this curriculum and the way you present these videos is really good from a didactics perspective. Well done!

YESSS thankssss! This is great!

Thank you so much Billy this is really helping and I've always wanted to learn Korean so thank you very much😁

I'm a newbie!! And this is very helpful!! Thanks so much! :)

This is amazing, looking forward to start speaking fluent Korean lol 🥰 Thanks Mr Billy

So i finished my second lesson and thank you very much .. i will start the lesson 3 after 5 days bc i have exams .. and thanks❤️

For the longest time I just thought that I was bad at learning, because the course I was taking used romanization. While I found it fairly easy to pronounce the hangul characters as they came, I just could never match them with the romanizations that the course provided. I just got stuck in the first few chapters, never proceeding to anything "fun". After trying an audio only course, it went so much smoother and I had so much fun with it.

I’m not skipping any ad for u Billy ☺️

Thank you sir for making it free for everyone

Thank you so much this is so helpful more then anything else I’ve tried up to now

now i got even more confidence to learn from billy thx for your comment

자막없이 영어로 한국어 강의를 들으니 늘 native 영어공부를 하고 있는 저에게도 도움이 되고 좋네요~~ 설명 참 잘 하시네요 건승하세요! ^^

Romanisation for me was like the 'ueue' in 'queue'. It doesn't even matter to me whether it existed or not. I'm enjoying learning korean 🥺❤✌🏻

Thank you for this video ❤️

Im really grateful. I can do this....

I swear i have so much trouble with focusing and learning especially because they make it so hard, you on the other hand make it so easy you explain it in a fun(?) Way that also is helpful and doesnt make you lose like half your braincells in the progress tysm

you explain in a form that i feel like I'm at a classroom learning korean lol, thanks sm for this class, I've wanted to learn korean since 2020, but just know I'm trying

i love this free seriee! i hope you have clips zoomed in on your mouth so we know how the tongue and mouth shape goes

hey sir, hope u r doing well. so I'm a teenager who is passionate about Korean industry and culture. Learning Korean has always been a dream of mine, but unfortunately, my parents are too strict about providing me with a proper Korean language course. However, I'm determined to learn on my own.I've made several attempts to learn Korean in the past, but I often struggled to continue due to various reasons. Now that I've just completed high school and have some free time, I've decided to restart my journey. I've even bought a beautiful diary to take notes and stay organized. I'm starting my Korean learning journey from this channel, hoping to make significant progress. My ultimate goal is to continue my studies in Korea after high school, so knowing the basics is essential for me. Thank you for providing such valuable content, and I'm looking forward to the learning experience ahead

Thank u so much your channel has step by step

Thank you so much for this!

As some one who knows somewhat of how korean sounds are made (no other way I can phrase that...) constants and vowels like ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅂ, ㄱ, ㅈ. (more but are explaining different) are what are called voiceless. Meaning there is no breathe (or air) when saying them as it all comes from the vocal cords. Generally initial constants, especially those at the start of phrases or sentences are unvoiced. Let me know if I’m wrong!

감사합니다!

thank you billy so much

hangul system is just like hindi alphabets, even the pronounciations..so if u r an indian, you will find it way easier to pronounce if you take notes with hindi alphabets as a reference for pronounciation...it helped me a lottt..

Your korean is amazing!!!

I have a big problem when I learned hangul. It was really hard for me to use the left right up down stroke order...as I am left handed the right left up down order was much quicker for me and I can write faster with that. I hope that is okay as when I try to make it right I slow down much more sadly. Also thanks for making this series.

+ ㄴ&ㄷ sound different from the english n&d because they are interdental (like th)

thank you so much easy to learn.thanks from Morocco

About that stroke order, when I first studied it, it was really confusing but later on I just dont mind it at all... Seems like my hand is writing effortlessly! Just practice and practice guys! 😂 We can do it! 💪

Me, an intermediate learner who's watching this *Nostalgic

Thank you very much.

This man is a godsend 🙌🏻

Starting in 2024.. I already learned the letters. I just need more lessons. I found Billy hope i could catch up ❤

Thank you Billy

I never get the idea of a syllable being one mouth movement. That sounds suspiciously more like a letter. Great series, though. Thank you Billy

Thanks for the video.

It was very helpful thank you

omg billy,, you're so cute n energetic person!!

다른언어에서 한국어를 보니 너무 신기하네요.. 감사합니다. 잘보고갑니다.

Dude I'm loving these classes, I took a notebook just for this, I'm already writing down important information (without the romanization) Anyways 1 more sub, i hope to finish this course and learn this amazing language, love u Billy

Thank you so much.

my first 2-3 weeks of "learning" korean, it was just me reading romanticized versions of korean words lmfao,,, my best friend smacked me behind the head when she found out ekdbdmfnf she rlly went like "btch are u trying to learn 한글 or hangul?"

Omggg thanks a lottt may god bless youu ❤❤❤❤

Thank you billy

Billy in the first lesson: don't skip lessons.!! me at lesson 2..hangul..oh I know this..should I skip. well, he said I may learn something new.. let's just have a quick review.... billy: so "gul" means letter.... me: ....well that's new.. ok. good, now I will never skip...

Hello po sir Billy . I'm starting to learn Korean language using your courses and I'm looking forward to it.
