🧀CHEESY STORE is live! zilla.club/collections/jccbm 🧀The CHEESY STORE is finally up and running!🧀It's quite new and there's only a couple products, but we'll be adding more stuff periodically

This is it, the third and last floor. 30 done, 8 to go. Once again, I get absolutely destroyed by yet another East Asian language. This one hit the stopwatch a bit harder than Japanese and Chinese, even though it's technically easier. But Duolingo made sure the word "speed" in "speedrun" was nothing but a hoax. Don't be fooled though, Korean does have its own nuisances, especially in the phonetics. Hangul is fun though, and quite straightforward.

  • this guy is literally so underrated he's literally the king of duolingo speedrunning
  • i find it amazing how quickly he found the explanation for ㅁ and ㄴ pronunciation because learners struggle with that so much when hearing it the first time
  • @quain5063
    As a phonologist your pronunciations of languages are amazing! I'm binging all your videos now. When you mentioned phonology and phonemes I was like this dude knows shit hahaha There are some very intricate intricacies (?? phonetic details cmon) that you picked out, for example how ㄷ sounds like a hard t at the beginning (it is aspirated but low tone) and how ㅁㄴ can sound like b/d (there's this thing called denasalisation). Also you're a natural at figuring grammar stuff too. Subscribed!

    dude holy shit the way they teach korean on duolingo is a fucking crime
  • @Kino_347
    Your channel is so underrated for having so much effort being put into everything, I just love how I could just watch and just like learn some new things about different languages while being entertained, thank you for like Giga chading through this, and I hope some day more people will stumble across your videos :]
  • @Pondas
    i watched one video and now im obsessed with the series - thanks
  • In early modern korean, ㅚ(oe) was pronounced as ö and ㅟ(wi) was pronounced as ü. But now there is little distinction between 웨, 외, 왜 (they are almost all pronounced 'we').
  • @dohamsu
    First of all very entertaining video! Loved watching it (probably more because I'm a Korean xD) Just wanted to comment this cuz you struggled with the final consenents- The only consenents that can be pronounced at the end are ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅇ and all other consenents get changed to one of those. ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅎ are pronounced as ㄷ, ㄱ, ㄲ, ㅋ are pronounced as ㄱ, and all other consenents are pronounced as what they sound like when at the front. It's quite intuitive for a native but I do imagine it being really confusing for learners ;) Also, your pronunciation at 7:00 was like literally perfect wtf

    I’m Korean and I find this very entertaining 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  • @YJKingTV
    16:30 As a native korean myself, the difference between "안녕히 가세요"means The Person is going back to home and "안녕히 계세요" means U r going back to home or whatever
  • @Koakoa45
    B/P, D/T, R/L, Are actually mixed sounds so like in Busan, the B actually will sound like B to some and P to others but is kind of both LOL
  • @hellohej5525
    How good are you at remembering the languages after speedrunning
  • @maxlovesk-pop
    I enjoyed this a lot. As a person who is learning Korean and trying to learn as many languages as possible, it was interesting to see someone who doesn't have much experience prior try to speedrun the language. 😂 Definitely subscribing and coming back for more videos!
  • I can't hear the difference between Korea aspirated and non-aspirated consonants. Then the vowel stuff is also too similar unless I can compare them almost immediately after the other. I want to say Hindi was the same for me. So if I feel like a real challenge down the road, those languages will really teach me how to hear subtle sounds.

    Korean is tough af... I can speak Chinese, Vietnamese, and English, I also used to know German and Russisn... the only language I've given up on was Korean, because of how challenging it was
