  9. 이우영 says:

    Awesome site! I especially like this series because there’s LOTS of grammar and vocab in it, and I can also hear the pronunciation, without it being too fast or difficult to understand.
    Looking forward to more vids!

  10. Jac says:

    Hyunwoo, you’re so cute here! Like a kid playing around, so full of energy. Hehe! :D Thanks for the vid.

  11. Danaraya says:

    Oh, what a funny video! ^_^ I never expected than my Korean studies would be so fun. My co-workers think that I lost my mind or fallen or something like that because I have that silly smile on my face all day long ^_^
    I’m from Russia, so English is my second language and I am *heta des yo* in it… Aways make a lot of stupid mistakes… T_T So that’s why your podcasts help my to improve my English too! Thank you! Your lessons are very interesting, I enjoy them! Good luck for all of you!

    P.S. I’m just curious… How old are you? ^^

    • Hi Danaraya :) Thanks for the comment :) I see that you are also studying Japanese! If you need any help with Japanese, feel free to ask me as well. :) Anyway, I’m 29. (or 31 in Korea)

  12. Steven says:

    I was pleaseantly surprised that you explained everything in Korean! It is very nice, as we can learn more than just vocabulary taught in the video~ great job!

  13. SR says:

    선현우, 당신은 멋진 광대뼈가! 8DD I have no idea if that came out right, but hopefully it did.

    I really love all the lessons you guys have posted so far. They’re easy to follow and move along at a reasonable pace without becoming tedious. Looking forward to more lessons in the future!

    Greetings from Norway ^_^

    • :) Thank you!! I’ve never been complimented on my 광대뼈 before but thank you!! :) But if you wouldn’t mind me helping you say it more naturally, you can say :) “선현우 씨, 광대뼈가 멋져요” :)

      Thank you!!!! from Seoul :)

  14. Archana says:

    우와! 이 비디오 좋아요!!
    (그런데… 서울에 눈 왔어요? 날씨가 정말 춥지 않아요?)
    다음 레슨 기다려요. 고마워요!

  15. Danaraya says:

    Oh, I thought you are younger than me. I thought you are just a student ^^ Sorry, my bad. But it’s because you are handsome and you look younger ^^ What does the 광대뼈 mean? I need a dictionary, dictionary…
    Thank you for your offer! ^^ You are right, I also study Japanese. I love foreign languages! English, of course. Then Chinese and Spanish. I used to study them at school but I was forced to give up. T_T
    Now I’m free like a bird and I can study whatever I want. I love Korean because the language is beautiful. I watch kdramas with English subtitles. I also translate them from English into Russian, so I need to know Korean to make my translations better. But it’s not the main reason. I am just enjoying the sounds of Korean speech. Also I am thinking about visiting Korea someday. So thank you for your lessons, they are very useful!

  16. Carlo says:

    Really cool idea, it helps us to see Korea as we learn some new vocabulary!

  17. Tze Lim says:

    and
    놀이터 [no-ri-teo] playground ?

  29. Cindy says:

    I am a K-drama and K-pop lover. I have a multitude of learning books and sites. I found this site by word of a fellow K-drama lover. I don’t know where to start. I have been studying Japanese for several years, alone without a formal class. However, I seriously love my Korean and of course, K-drama and K-pop. I find the video learning so much more than books and lists of vocabulary without pronunciation. I loved this video. You were so full of energy and vibrant, such entertainment with learning thrown in. Plus, you are so easy on the eyes, watching you is fun! I can write and read in Japanese (not too many Kanji) and want to learn Korean writing to help read words,sentences and grammar. Japanese grammar is difficult for me. Again thank you for this wonderful site and your obvious enthusiasm for learning and helping us poor non Korean speaking individuals.
