@Esther Andújar / Thank you very much! : )

@Jose Angel Rodriguez / 한국어로 된 레슨들도 많이 만들고 있어요. TTMIK Talk 시리즈나 "이야기" 오디오 레슨을 들으시면 됩니다. ^^ We are already making lots of content in Korean. You can watch the TTMIK Talk videos or listen to the Iyagi lessons if you want to listen to more Korean. Thanks :)

@Emer O'C / Oh! Yay~!!! Thank you :D Add me on Hello Talk. My ID is "ever4one" or you can message me on Facebook. - Hyunwoo

I really like when you do videos like this. you teach us a lot about the language but you also give us bonus things like this. If I use things like this in conversations while in Korea ill surprise many people with my full knowing of the Korean Language

HelloTalk comes to the google play store Oct. 1. So be patient guys we'll all get it soon.

Tiger describes someone who is ruthless. Pig means someone who is ill-mannered, and greedy. Chick is for an attractive woman. Thank you for all the videos, and the hard work and time you put into making them!

Thank you so much! I love learning little things like this! Also Hello talk sounds like a really amazing idea! o- o

I love you guys!! I'm a Korean adopter and I've been trying to learn for a few years now and I plan on trying your books! I've tried everything

Love your videos, keep it up!!~

Graphics getting more and more awesome!! :)

You guys are awesome. Thank you. :)

Thanks ^-^ I will work on it!

You guys are really awesome and cute! Thank you ^.^

thank you for the video!

I loved this subject! I've always been curious about the animal similies in Korean culture, now I know! Next time, can you talk about the animals in dreams? I have heard it more than once, where someone will say something like, "I dreamt of a beautiful peacock spreading its feathers" in regards to a child being born or some big event. Thanks!

I kinda agree with Hyojin on describing a girl as being like a fox is not really swearing at her. It could mean she's manipulative, but in general I think it means more like she knows how to behave in difficult situations. Anyhow, great video and awesome content! Keep 'em coming!

THIS APP IS AWESOME!! Korean people are so cool everyone should have this app :)

Thank you! I will work on it! Vowels are really difficult for me!

Hyunwoo, Hyojin, as a Spanish speaker I can tell you both your Spanish pronunciation is perfect!! OoO Like native speakers. Keep it up!! Good work!! ~Amelia

Hello talk isn't available in google play yet... I hope they'll release it soon, it seemed really interesting!

I really liked the bit when you both explained the sound simile 떡. I have sometimes seen that word came out in 예능 shows and always wondered why the producers put rice cakes for no reason. Are there a lot of sound similes in Korean??

This video was very fun and with a lot of great information!!!!!!!!! I just downloaded Hello Talk and it seems like a really good app!!!! Hopefully the app will be a useful tool to help me learn korean & I can help other people learn spanish & english!!

So funny, both of you speaking spanish. Very interesting video, the way that uses a animal to make a simile usually is pretty similar in different lenguages but sometimes differ a lot.

In the description there's a link to the website, and in the website it says it will be available for android soon...

Ask Hyunwoo today

The frog story I remember reading that from 연세 읽기 3

"Hola como estas" "Gracias" xD His Spanish is very good!~

well what about in running man when Gary is sometimes called mr Gae or detective Gae?

Wow.. your spanish Its really good I was shock... Even on pronuncation Congrats !!! I need that App for sure

Please do it withing sunday If possible

Could you add more sort of subs during the video? Like when you say "ttok-tu-kku-bi gat-eun gadeurida", could you add a Korean sub for that? I'm sure there are a lot of people besides me who don't know, for example, how "gadeurida" is written in Korean, so that would be very useful :) P.S.: Your show is really nice and cognitive, and I enjoy watching it a lot ;)

This application works just in iphone or ipad it don't work in a pc windows 7 .isn't that right?

It doesn't allow me to register on HelloTalk...why is this happening?? I tried many many times but it's still the same???

I LOVE YOU DO MORE

Can you please explain what is the different between 몰라요 and 모르겠어요..?i not quite understand these terms

In Italy, 강아지/puppy is a derogative simile. It means the person has no will-power and does whatever their girl/boyfriend orders. Also, you can say someone is a 'cagnolino'/강아지 when they follow someone else all the time.

thank you guys for another cool enjoyable episode, most of those expressions were familiar to me, since i watch a lot of dramas. here's some information about similes in tow countries i'm familiar with. : both 개 & 돼지 are also an insult in both saudi arabia (where i live) and somalia (where i'm from. and actually we use 곰 instead of 돼지 to describe a fat person in both countries.

Hi! What happened with Hello Talk app?, on the page says that the Android version will be released on October 1st, but it isn't available yet. :(

"A man with a dirty mind" that just seems redundant. 5:40 Hyojin seems a little surprised to learn this.

3:08 too cute xD

i cant search for the app or do i have to put it in korean?

In Quebec Chicks is a word used by older and younger men to describe a sexy girl, we are called frogs by Canadians because we are french but I have called square head which is what french people call Canadians in my province, because I am bilingual I was called both names and they are meant in a negative way. Now that I am older I never hear people say frog or square head anymore :)

Guys! your spanish is good! also your pronunciation!

I'm korean and i use term 개 all the time, when referring to a real dog and nobody takes that as an insult. I mean if you say someone is like '개' it's an insult but just calling a dog '개' that is okay, i think...

lol me too!

I've been studying Korean for 2 years and I took Spanish in high school, but I'm starting to forget it! And I'm taking Japanese in college (because they didn't have Korean) so I hope I don't get all of my languages mixed up! >.

I've noticed that a lot of native Korean speakers pronounce "toad" and "soap" differently. It should sound (in English) as if it were spelled "tode" or "sope" The "o" is long in other words. Sorry if this is out of line, just realized this is not the first time I've heard this so decided to mention it.

is hyojin wearing makeup in this video finally? she looks so pretty!

i cant download this app on my galaxy

"Have you met and talked to a bear?" Huh, can't say that I have. :3 (Joking, I knew what he meant.) Pst... But those EXO lyrics, though.

Is Hello Talk exclusive to Apple? Because I can't find the App on my Android.... If it is, there should be an annotation on the video stating it's Apple exclusive so people don't spend 20 minutes searching for it when it won't come up.

Some Swedish ones.. we have things like sly/clever as a fox, large as a bear, strong as an ox, and instead of the English scardycat (fearful cat) we have fearful hare (räddhare), and uh.. I think we have smells like a pig for smelling bad but I honestly can't remember for sure since it's more common to describe a place to smell like a pig stye. We have swine for a man that is pretty bad towards women usually in a pretty nasty (insinuated perverted and/or selfish) way, we have bullhead for someone stubborn of either gender, chickenbrain for someone kind of dumb+crazy and sheephead for someone extremely dumb. We also have "like pouring water on a goose" for someone or for a situation where things dont really stick or let things bother them, or poor listening. And for off topic we can also call bad men a "skitstövel" which directly translated means shitboot. He is like a boot full of poop. XD Oh and stubborn as a donkey is another one! And quiet as a mouse. And "latmask" (lazy worm) for somebody really lazy. :)

Im from the us and a Cougar is a older woman who likes to date younger men.

You can be 'as stubborn as an ox/mule'. You can also be 'strong as an ox'. People that have really bad eyesight, and can't see without glasses are 'blind as a bat' (and sometime used as an insult when someone can't find something that's right in front of their face ^^). Then there's 'proud as a peacock' and 'wise as an owl'. But I feel like as I get older, I hear fewer animal similes. It seems like they're a bit more prevalent in school that out. =P

in Arabic Wolf refers to a strong good mannered man the equivalent to a Fox in Arabic is a Snake or a Scorpion a Bear is a person who eats a lot

me neither, I live in ON

there's this line in G-Dragon's One of a kind song saying "난 재주많은 곰, (no) 곰보단 여우" how do you explain this?

P.S: we have the expression "to be like a snail" which is similar to the "be like a bear" but in the way that the person is slow at thinking, physical activities or mental ones. A slow-paced person. ... ah I can't use the "Hello Talk"; don't have an iphone T_T

oh good!! i was thinking of saving money to buy an iphone, since every cool thing seems to be on itunes -_- thatnks for letting us know ^^

What about hyenas?

omg in the beginning, did you say your name was 안효진? if so, we have the exact same name! :D

Hyunwoo, hablas muy bien español felicitaciones! I'm from Ecuador and we also use animals to refer to people. For example we use "perra" or "zorra" which means "bitch". We also use "cerdo" to discribe people that is nasty...very insulting but are often used. By the way "chik" means "lady" in english but is a spanish word. Actually "lady" in spanish is written like this "chica" but because the last syllable is "ca" the sound is the same as the letter "k" in spanish, so "ca" it's replaced by "k".

개 is not an insult for an actual dog. Only cant you use it to a person. 개새끼 is kinda controversial because it used to mean literally a dog's offspring (puppy) and an insult for a person, but it's been used as an insult too much, the literal meaning is faded away

어렵죠 ㅋㅋㅋ 한국어 모음도 그쵸...

In the northern U.S., you can call someone a "goose" if they act foolishly or react to a situation in an unusual way. "Boar" is used for someone - almost always a man - who acts inappropriately in public or without concern for general public etiquette. "Kitten" is used as a sort of nickname or term of affection for young and teenaged girls. Usually only family members will call a girl kitten - grandmothers and older aunts mostly.

Hyunwoo sungsaengnim, qué padre qué estés estudiando español! Buena suerte. Hyojin sungsaengnim gracias.

don't see that anyone has mentioned that "pig" in english is used a lot like "wolf" in korean. maybe it has an even more negative connotation though.

oh "similies"..i totally read the title as "smiles" :) "Animal Smiles" :)

I thought I was going to watch a video on animal smilies... ;;; This was good too though. ㅋㅋ

Seem that the app for Android will be launched in October.

Can i join talk to me in Korean? ^^ i want permission to translate the classes to Portuguese... you know, many Brazilians k-pop lovers want to know Korean, and we don't have too much material in Portuguese. So can i do it? Please leave a reply^^

I love TTMIK because books will just say that khe is dog, and nothing about connotation. ^^

I would help you with your spanish but i don't have an iphone :(

Chick can be a female but it is also a baby chicken. It depends how it's used ^_^ most people say 'baby chick' when talking about the animal though.

Ah, well since I am old, let me tell you that back in the 70's and 80's "chick" in reference to girl was absolutely NOT intended as a derogatory remark. They were COOL girls and we wanted to be around them. "Lets go pick up some chicks" was standard weekend activity. If she expressed that she didn't like it, we wouldn't call her that.

I just realized that the title of this video is "animal similes" not "animal smiles" ㅋㅋㅋ

Hyung woo! I may help you at spanish! I came from Costa Rica! Tell me if you want to!

Lol I like how u both say toad

How would you call a love interest? I can't call someone that I like '강아지' can I? '자기야' and '여보' are used when the relationship is already established... So what can I say to someone cute, that I wouldn't mind dating?

chick isn't really derogatory or disrespectful in english. it's just another word for girl, and it's usually used between guys. in my experience though, most people don't use the word much anymore. btw, i love how you guys say toad. it's cute ^^

Toad is pronounced as towed :)

Chick in English isn't really an insult but some women might not appreciate being called it. It's not necessarily bad

Hyunwoo, I didn't know you were studying spanish :) Tienes buena pronunciación, el "Hola, ¿qué tal?" que dijiste sonó natural. (Y)

Hello, In Perú (spanish): Fox, Wolf, Pig, Dog, Chick, have the same meaning than in korean. When people is very lazy or like to loose the time in anything just be in bed or take the sun you can say: Lagarto (Lizard) or in a funny way: What does he/she doing? He/She is Lizarding = Lagarteando (loosing the time) That word doesn't exist in diccionary, but we use. When someone is dump or can't catch the wave is a "Guanaco" thats very insulting. The womans who have namy childrens are Mother Hen!!

Soo.... the app does not work on android phone :(( *crying in the corner of the room* :((

haha your toad sounds like todd to a new zealander's ears lol

Chick isn't really disrespectful, but it can be depending on how you say it (like most things in English). Think of it as the female equivalent of "guy". It's mostly used for strangers. So the girl I sat next to at the bus stop today was "some chick", but I wouldn't call my friend's gf "the chick he's dating" as it seems like I'm distancing myself from her. It's a small difference and no girl would be mad if you called her that to her face, but she might feel you're being a little cold.

haha if you didn't mention it i wouldn't discover it at all!

I see what u did there EXO ㅎ ㅗ ㅎ

First yes thank god I love ttmik

Can u do a video about black dating in korea With terris

Hyojin, can you talk about parent culture in Korea? Like what is common to see mothers and fathers do with their kids. Can you also talk about breastfeeding and how it is percieved? Is it bad to breastfeed in public? In the U.S. it is illegal to refuse service to a mother breast feeding in 47 states. PLEASE !!!!!

You guys kept referring to the mother in the folk tale as 'him' :/

Just some constructive criticism, when y'all pronounce "toad" you pronounce it like the name Tod. The correct pronunciation is "t-oh-d" (It's hard to write phonetically but you can ask 태리스). Thanks for the lesson!!

"Aww, pandas! Pandas are cute" Yes, Tao is cute *creeper face

i think that just resemble to twilight :)

잘 보고 가요~ 근데 toad 발음은 토드예요 ^^

I'm a manager and year of the tiger lol

your spanish pronunciation is perfect;) im mexican please be my buddy so we can learn from each other:) pleasepleaseplase

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of EXO. XD
