"so banana is banana in korean" *t h e m o r e w e k n o w*

" 'Ba-na-na' is banana in Korean. That's your first word. *Here is a gun* "

I’m bilingual in both English and Korean, and I have to approve that this dude is a genius. He explains every important feature in Korean letters in a way easier way to memorize for English speakers. The examples attached on the each letter have no correlation to the origins or the meaning but they facilitate associations to the pronunciations of the letters.

I've been trying to learn how to read Japanese for so long.. And I just learned how to read Korean without even trying.

"Learn to Read Korean in 5 Minutes" *naah* _speed x1.5_

Dude taught us to learn korean and decided his youtube career was complete

Ten years ago, I stumbled upon this video shortly after I decided to shift from learning Japanese to Korean. Now, a decade later, I find myself living in Korea, sharing my life with a Korean partner, and working as a full-time TV/media translator. It's a delightful surprise to see this video resurface on my KZfaq homepage today.

I'm more impressed with his time management. He says "in about five minutes" while simultaneously doing the thing he's setting out to do in that amount of time.

so here i am learning how to read korean when i have a maths exam tomorrow.

who else got this recomended without any reason?

This guy is the type of guy who understands everything the professor is saying after listening to him once.

This was the first video I watched in my (inconsistent) attempt at learning Korean, I took some random lessons, dropped it, came back to this video, and it still remains the most Korean I know outside of random words and phrases I’ve picked up from my constant Korean content consumption. 😂 Thank you for this. 😂

When you realize the minions from Despicable Me were speaking Korean the whole time

"So ba-na-na, this is your first word, anyways, here is a gun" -Americans

As someone learning Korean, when I saw the title I thought it would be a scam but I must say it's real, this does teach you Hangeul, althought this is not all the Korean, he didn't mention the tense consonants (kk, tt, jj, pp, ss) some aspirated consonants (k, t, ch) and the double vowels (wa, wo, wae, we, oe, wi, ui) but this is a really good start!, I hope everyone that wants to learn Korean sees this video so they have a solid base.

Technically, as a native Korean, there are subtle differences between his explanation and the original sound the Korean make. However, this video must be really helpful to ones who just started to learn Korean as a foreign language, 'cause the way he teaches us is enjoyable and, above all, mind-blowing.

"Learn to read korean in 5 minutes" *8 years ago* Me: Yeah this shit real

Dude speaking Korean: hey how are you Me: BucketAfterNoseAfterNoseAfter

And he's an NFT guy now. God damn it.

Dude deadass teach a million of people in Korean in 5 minutes then dissapeared to nothingness knowing his job is complete and served us.

The four most iconic things in Korea: -Bananas -Samsung -Kim Jong Un -Gangnam

Dude this was so fun to watch and learn, the fact that he only has 1 video up and it’s been 10 years and it’s ONLY 5 mins long makes me so sad bc I would 100% watch hour long videos of him teaching this and me writing notes bc this helped and I feel it’s necessary to have that really good teacher that makes sure you understand and goes through it slowly if I learned he had a class I’d paid for it dude I want to learn Korean so bad

I can read Korean now can’t understand it but I can sure as hell read it

person speaking in korean: i haven’t seen you in so long, how are you! me: banana

This is the most clickbaity title ever and yet it held up its promise. Pretty impressive

유튜브 알고리즘으로 우연히 이 영상을 보게 되었습니다. 외국인이 한글을 공부하는데 좋은 예시인 거 같습니다. 보다 쉽게 한글을 가르칠 수 있게 많이 고민하고 연구하신 흔적이 보이네요. 한글을 배우고 싶은 많은 이들이 이 영상을 시청하길 기원합니다.

Awesome video. Just to add to Sam's excellent teaching - 'ㄱ' (which sounds as G (as gun) as it looks like one) is also the position of your tongue when you pronounce it in Korean. 'ㄴ' (which sounds as N (as nose)) is also the position of tongue when pronounced. History implies the Korean language was developed from a group of people and a king (Sejong, 세종) - around approx 650 years ago. Obviously one needs to practice - but it's relatively easy to learn at the beginning.

And then i forget it in 5 minutes as well.

-Teaches us how to instantly read all of the Korean language -Leaves for 8 years -Doesn’t elaborate Absolute gigachad

This video is brilliant! Hangul always looked simple but I keep forgetting the sounds for the individual characters and I already struggle with pronunciation. Your examples are amazing! I feel ready to try learning Korean again!

today this will be my starting point in learning korean language (11/11/2023) i will be back when i fully learn the language.

Instructions not clear. I can now speak Minecraft enchanted table.

the internet is gonna lose their sht if he posts another video

Wow. I have been trying to learn Korean for ages now, this helps me so much and it’s so understandable this way. Thanks so much! ❤

“Learn to read Korean in 5 minutes.” *68 seconds later* “Here is a gun.”

This is actually so simple I feel like Im being pranked :p

I put 2x and learned Korean in 2 minutes. Amazing.

한국에서 우연히 영상을 본 사람입니다. 이렇게 재밌게 한글을 설명해주셔서 감사합니다. 저도 외국인 친구들에게 설명 할 때 사용해야겠어요.ㅎㅎ Thanks for your amazing explanation! May I try using it? lol

I don't know why I pressed on this video. I'm already Korean.

I’m literally Korean why am I here

This is actually so well presented. Good work bro.

Sir! You are a legend!! Thank you soooo much for this video. It’s even quite the high quality video we got here, really!

The fact that you added “seriously” in the title got you millions of views...

When this man was in school, the professors were the ones that asked him if their answers were correct

This is fun to watch! Due to watching korean movies back in middle school, they had the korean subs alongside eng ones which made me always glance at kor subs while listening to the actors speaking I subconsciously learned how how to pronounce and read in korean but I still don't know much vocabulary nor how to engage in learning korean while having a busy life while already struggling as a trilingual who's not fluent in either of the three languages (lmao), hope to learn it properly any time soon!

Honestly this made so much sense. I’ve never tried to learn this language at all but it’s not as hard as it looks

My guy realised he's teaching us more than we should know and stopped at one video.

*"In 5 minutes"* Man I've been procrastinating for 5 years just to open this video at 1 am

I can’t explain how I feel about this video, one like mark is not enough to express my happy feeling to get to know how to read Hangul. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I'll just leave my comment because I'm so grateful. This was extremely helpful because I keep forgetting the vowels and this video is my life saver. Thanks.

How to learn korean 1 minute later: HERE IS A GUN

I walked into the toilet constipated and walked out Korean

I watched this video a long time ago, and it just got re recommended to me 😂and I must say, thank you so much. This guide helped me so much, and now I’m learning the whole language. Not only is this video what inspired me to, but it’s probably the most helpful video I’ve ever seen in the process.

To be honest, that’s easier than I thought. Just practice a little and remember all those characters and you have it. The little descriptions like “nose”, “gun” and stuff helped a lot as well. I’m not planning on ever learning Korean but knowing the writing system wouldn’t hurt, right? I can remember things quite easily and well, maybe that’s an advantage for these kind of things :3

Him : banana is also banana in Korean "Two seconds later" Him : *HERE IS A GUN*

Might learn in five minutes but forget in five seconds Edit: BTW I did not expect al these likes thank you!

ㅔ = Ay ㅐ = Ae (as in Air)

I'm just so thankful to you because this made my Korean reading so very much better thankyou!

I always wondered how to say “banana” in Korean

reading korean is easy but.... the only problem is to translate it to english... XD

One of the best videos I've seen on KZfaq

this is actually pretty cool I never thought about the different parts of the symbols having different sounds

This guy literally just speed ran the Korean alphabet.

"learn to read Korean in 5 mins" me-watches at 2.0x Modern problems require modern solutions

Handy tips, thanks! The over/under is especially helpful since I constantly get those two mixed up.

i heard before that the korean writing system was simple and neat, but i didn't know it was 5 minutes neat holy hell man.

im sure if my brain worked this would be very helpful

me: try to sleep youtube: how about learn korean? i am korean

Oh my....wow this was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!

Got my English language GCSE paper 1 tomorrow and I’m leaning Korean.

We all knew we wouldn't be able to read Korean in 5 minutes, but we still clicked.

Wherever this guy is, I hope he’s alright and knows how many lives he’s changed.

storytelling way of learning - beautiful!

Thank you so much for this it’s been over 6 years and now I made it to Korea and study here and it all started here 😭😭

"I'm gonna go to bed early tonight." Me at 3am:

Imagine spending money to go to school for years to learn Korean when there's this 5 minute video

Have heard for years that Korean is easy to read and was curious to see if it’s true. Looked up how to read Korean on Google and this came up. I’ll admit I’m a slow learner and didn’t think I would actually be able to learn too much from a short video but wow was I wrong. This actually helped me learn quite a bit in a short time! I was reading the words on the right like Samsung before he even got around to teaching what it said! A VERY well made lesson😊

This was amazing, thanks for this!

Hell yeah, I can feel my elo in League rising already.

I thought this would be some kind of joke. Turned out he was actually serious.

bro i legit thought this was going to be a funny video but wasnt expecting this.

This video gave me goosebumps, not only for the content, but for the nostalgia for the good old days of Mac and Google. He took me back to the early 2010s.

Instructions not clear. I’m now fluent in 𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙨

"Learn to read Korean in 5 minutes" Bruh, thats fake, I'm not gonna waste my time on this.. "(seriously)" Ok I'm clicking

at first i though it was a meme since the thumbnail is random and the amount of view(also the time when this video uploaded) is just like a random vids recommend by KZfaq for entertaint purpose. but then i realized in the title, he put a word "(seriously)". So i watch the entire video and yeah... it was seriously. Afterward i started thingking Korean language is easy to learn and addicted to learn even more, and thank you you 개새끼 Gae-sae-kki for making me learning something new🥰

Grew up in Koreatown in Duluth Georgia and taught myself Hangul on accident as a kid just noticing the same patterns in the characters. Still know it 15 years later.. super easy

Me: *Reads korean* My friend: "Wow! That's cool! What does it mean!?" Me: "Lol I have no idea"

I will (seriously) do anything to prove my parents that i learn more in the internet more than school

thanks so much man I just watched your short 5 min video like 2 days ago, and now I'm already able to transcribe my favourite korean song into roman. Next time can finally sing it in karaoke hahaha. You're a legend my friend

This video has such a late night inspirational ideas feel

"Learn to read Korean in 5 minutes (seriously)" Me: *pauses and stares at the words for 50 minutes*

Yes, Korean is a super easy to read language due to its focus on sound. Understanding it is another question, but anyone can learn to read Hangul.

I watched this so many years ago and I still remember like 80% of this!

why does this feel like forbidden knowledge?

When you get click baited into thinking it was a joke.

Now that i can read and write banana i can invade Korea > D

This is literal fking genious

This motivatedme like 2 or 3 years ago to start learning it and now yt is randomly recommending this again

Me: _just wanting to learn korean in 5min_ Him: here is a gun Me: well that escalated quickly

Parents: He’s probably busy doin’ homework in his room. Me: bA nA nA
