If you're coming to Korea, load up your phone with these apps that'll make your time here easier

That HelloTalk app is literally the best thing ever. I have been trying to teach myself Korean for the LONGEST TIME, and all I got out of my self-teaching was the alphabet, and some basic phrases. But I just downloaded the app and already I'm being connected with people who are teaching me Korean.

i think every kpop fan has kakao by now XD

shout out to jin for not following the trend and werkin it with that pink flip phone :D

I'm using hello talk 😍 I even got to know a really nice Korean girl there and we are friends now 😊 she even sent me presents for my birthday 😱😍 I highly recommend the hello talk app, it's really useful. My favorite feature is that you can correct your partner's sentences so they directly see what they did wrong and how it's supposed to be. Another pretty cool app is 'learn korean', it's only available for android though 😭 you can record yourself saying sentences in Korean and the app will rate your pronunciation and accent. As for grammar, I'd recommend the 'poppopping Korean - conversation' app. It's really cute, it's like a cartoon. First there is a dialogue (with subs and other features where you can read everything slowly), then multiple choice questions and then you can record yourself answering a question with the grammar featured in the chapter.

I loved that 2PM "unthinkingness" emoticon you sent me the other day.... hahaha... yes... unthinkingness... I've been using the V app... to literally watch GD live stream.

I was so happy when you guys mentioned Kakaotalk and HelloTalk I use those ALL THE TIME. I meet people on HelloTalk and then talk to them on Kakao.

great, I love the hellotalk app , thank you guys for sharing!

Thank you so much guys! Hello Talk is definitely the bomb! You are the best, thank you thank you thank youuuu~

I watched your previous video & downloaded the Jihachul app befofe visiting Korea this April. It's my first time travelling out of my city & I didn't even once took the wrong subway. It really helped alot. Thankyou!!

Thanks for the tip! I will keep that in mind.

I find KakaoTalk is so much better than WhatsApp. It has way more features, it's stable, and it's free! Only issue is not a lot of my friends are on it

W-was that onew eating chicken 😂😂

Going to Korea next month so gotta say your timing is impeccable xD the first two apps especially are gonna be soo useful!

Thanks for loving Korea. I love your videos!! ♡♡♡

Great tl;dr and i really appriciate the time you put into your vids eventhough your schedule is so hectic! Thank you sooooo much :) lots of love from sweden^^

Thank you very much, this was very useful indeed! I'm flying to Korea in a week, so this came at the perfect time ^^

I saw this video when it came out. Now I’m finally able to to use it🙌🏾

I watched one of your videos about traveling to Korea and you recommended the subway app. I used it while in Korea this summer and I loved the app and the Korean subway system.

Nice vid guys thanks

You reed my mind! That's exactly what I need right now!) Thank you))

Thankyou for the information❤️ i came to korea last year and it was quite complicated because I didn't know these apps!! Will try them on my next trip😄😄

Love your videos! :3

I just arrived to Korea a few weeeks ago. Your videos are always very helpful. Thank you!!! :) yall are awesome

Missed you guys! Welcome back to Korea.

Thanks for the Video :3

Definitely trying the HelloTalk app to learn German :D, thanks guys!

Thank you guys for posting videos. You make me laugh, and I appreciate that immensely. Sometimes, when I want to mentally disconnect from being stressed out or feeling blue, I turn to your videos and they help! Love your sense of humor and the dynamics of your relationship. Xoxo

You guys are the best!

oh so timely! im leaving for seoul tomorrow for 3months, this post came in so handy! thanksss!

This was really helpful. Thank you! And lol that Onew pic at 06:11 😂

Thanks for the videos! Lots of love from VA

Thankyou so much for the info :) im using Naver&Kakao :) it helps a lot btw :D

i used the subway app when i was in korea 5 weeks ago and it is awesome !! i saw the video where you talked about the app and i knew i had to download it. because of that i had no problems using the subway in seoul !😊

i really love the subway app. very useful when i visited korea and had to do train transfers. its cool that you can bookmark locations as well

Simon and Martina, I usually don't comment on videos but I want to say thank you. I downloaded the HelloTalk app and it's the best thing I've done in a while. I met a Korean girl my age and we're both learning each others languages. I'm so grateful you recommended it to me. Thank you!!

Thanks so much for introducing that Hello Talk app to me! I have been learning Chinese by myself for quite some time now, also been practising with my bf but he doesn't always have the time to help me out so this app is perfect! Thanks again :D

I adore HelloTalk. It is so amazing!

Hi guys!! Love you!! ❤️ martina you look so pretty today (as per usual)! Love from Northern Ireland! ❤️❤️

love you guys!!

yaay!! new video!♡

THANK YOU FOR THE HELLOTALK RECOMMENDATION !!! I EVEN MET A NEW FRIEND !!

I've always been using kakaotalk, daum maps and subway app long before this introduction! Really came in handy when I was roaming around the streets of Korea for a month hahahaa

Thank you for this amazing video. I want to go to South Korea next year so I'm sure this video is going to be usefull. Merci :)

Low key, I'm obsessed with your videos ._.

Kakao talk is the best!! I love it especially the emoticons, you van have a conversation just using them :P also the sounds for the notifications is so fun I'm using the Obama voice

omg you know the hello talk app. i use it all the time! and it is great

So you've been using that app to Polish your language skills huh, Simon? ;) I'll walk myself out.

I live in Seattle and having KakaoTalk lets me stay in touch with my family in Seoul!

Yes! I've been using HelloTalk too! I've been trying to learn Japanese but I can only read hiragana, so it's still hard for me. It's mostly been me helping them converse in English but at least I still feel like I'm helping them. :)

Currently here on exchange and this video is greaaaat :D Can't wait to check out the You are Here cafe too!!!! ^_^

This is so helpful! I just moved here this monday, and have been on the subway way too often and even gotten lost once or twice. I'm staying with my friend in Bundang (Jeongja) and have to commute to Ewha in Sinchong T.T so I'm also searching for an apartment to have during my studies...! Thank you guys so much! This is so convenient hehe

Martina, that lip color looks sooooo amazing on you! And I usually don't comment on videos unless I have something important to say. So that means I think your lip color in this this video is REALLYFREAKINGAWESOME.

Yeah! Hello Talk has really taken Korea over! Hellotalk even had connection problems in Korea due to too much traffic. I have been using it since past three months to learn korean. And Boy Oh Boy! I love it. Got loads of korean friends. Learnt ab it from from Hyunwoo from TTMIK. So I am recommending it to everyone. It is great to hear ab it from EYK team too. Btw I have told all my korean friends ab u guys and shared ur videos. Cudos!

I'm braziliaaannn,i loveeeee your Channel !!

These look so useful! Also, at the end, "Seven Korean Travel Tipes" XD

Downloaded Hello Talk immediately hehe! Hope I'd be able to learn korean through it! Thanks for the recommendation hehe!!

OMG! i also use hellotalk! its amazing!!

Awesome!

first off.... not in Korea. lol so I use line but do you like kakao because everyone has it or is it all around better?

I used the subway and naver maps app when i went to korea last may and it was really really helpful because you also see the subway lines. Lmao. I suddenly missed seoul when i watched this video.

cool :) I love food apps!

HelloTalk is amazing. I've only used it for about 3 weeks and my Korean is so much better in grammar/vocab and in pronunciation. Not only is there a translating option, but you can also call them in the app too. Most Koreans understand and can speak basic English. HelloTalk is by far the best program I've used for learning Korean

Hi!! Omg thank you for sharing!! Definitely saved my life hahaha! I'm visiting Korea in 3 weeks time and I have a question, maybe you can help me out! Is there any phone card or smth that I can buy so I can get internet (3G/4G) in Korea on my phone?? Thank you!

I used the subway app for a bit but I really like how Naver Maps gives you directions from door to door, so I just use that instead.

Simon and Martina please please please make a video on how to make your version of ddeokbokki. :) love you guys! been watching you for so long and all I can't say is, TAKE ME WITH YOU TO KOREA! hehe.

hi Simon and Martina can you please talk about famous foreigners in korea. thanks PS I love your channel

I love your vids there the best.

I saw you guys are in Finland at the moment! I hope you guys enjoy the country, I would have come to meet you but I'm actually studying here in Canada for a semester. What are the chances, haha!

Trying to convert all my Aussie friends to Kakao talk. Got a few hooked with the cute emoticons. :-)

I'm never up to date on apps, i downloaded/discovered waze today and its glorious. :>

I love LINE. It's funny though. It's a Korean app but Japanese people use it a lot. They legit use it way more than FB. In fact, they use it like FB since they have a "timeline" thing too. And I love LINE stickers and themes

I love the jihachul app! It is my best friend for the times when I am visiting Seoul! I also use Kakao every day! It is a great way to stay connected to my Korean friends even though I have moved back to the states!

I'm going to Korea in one month, this video was perfectly timed :D

This is really cool! However, would these be helpful for someone just visiting Seoul? I really want to visit but I don't speak Korean. :(

I agree with the bus and daum maps app. I can't function without them! I also use the Seoul Pass app to get discounts and coupons to places and events.

Omg, I love Kakao! But only my korean friends use it so now I use Line, its just as good :)

Hihi your polish is so cool!

I got HelloTalk too! I also got this app call Memrise (I believe) which also helps you learn languages! It's helped me so far, it's repetitive with the language your learning and quizzes you on it frequently!

love it :-)

Amen to you guys... I cannot agree any more!!

Can you guys please do a video on brands of kimchi that you recommend that are available to buy in North America? I live in Kentucky but I assume that Canada and the USA have most of the same brands of foreign food.

Can you a do a tutorial on how to use or order foods on the Yogiyo app??
