Native Korean Speedruns Duolingo Korean... One Year Later (but it gets violent)

If you ever wanted to learn how to write Korean, lucky for you I made a video on that: https://youtu.be/FqSxX1Gcqi8

I'm a native Spanish speaker and I did the same with the Spanish course for English speakers. The course has like 200 units. It's very good. But it's very Mexican centrist and I'm not from Mexico so I had to change some words to match Mexican Spanish otherwise Duolingo told me I was "wrong" and I was like "really?". I still recommend it though

i love how he takes it personnaly, ithink thats why i love his channel sm

I'm currently learning Dutch with duo lingo and the oddest thing I've learned is "Pardon, Ik ben een appel". Witch literally translates too "Excuse me, I am an apple"

I love how the Duo animation seemed to be mocking him at 8:03. "You must suffer before you can be done with me for the foreseeable future."

i speak fluent portuguese and i was speed running duolingo and it asked me and it gave me the sentence “the mothers big milk” 💀

I’m Japanese, and study Korean and Spanish with Duolingo, and I noticed that Korean course doesn’t have much explanation about grammar and vocabulary, but Spanish course has quite a lot. I hope that is gonna be improved in next update. I understand Korean course because grammar of Japanese and Korean are quite similar, both are SOV language, but, for people whose native language is SVO language, like English, I think it is gonna be difficult to learn Korean by duolongo.

As… interesting as duolinguo is, they make learning a language much more accessible, especially to people who’re moving, didn’t have access in school, or don’t have the money for a class. I appreciate Duolingo, but I wish they explained the technical stuff a bit more.

FYI: Duolingo is ten times more interesting, engaging, and educational if you switch to the mode where you have to type in the answers rather than just click on this or that word. To switch, all you have to do is click on the keyboard icon. It makes a world of difference! (But let me also say that I think your videos on Duolingo are extremely good. I find myself wondering if you are aware of just how unusual you are in being fluent in both Korean and English. I lived in Korea for 25 years and never once met a Korean, or anyone else, as bilingual as you. Kudos!).

I really enjoyed this. I'm not learning Korean but I'm curious about how native speakers see Duolingo courses for English speakers.

The sheer horror and indignation on your face when you got that question wrong for not adding the prounoun. I died laughing and then when you addressed the owl directly. Fantastic.

i started learning korean last semester in college and over christmas break i started using duolingo to keep my skills up between semesters. so your videos are super fun for me to watch cuz i relate to your frustration! if i'm not mistaken, there should be an option to use your keyboard instead of clicking on words to write your answers. (that's the case on the mobile app anyways). edit: also! i'm not sure if you ever want to revisit this series but i'd love to know your opinion on the first unit (?) that tries teaching basics of korean. there's a lot of english loan-words which was super confusing.

I simply can't let this owl win---- yes that's the determination!!

I'm only in unit 29/61 in the Korean course. At this point I've moved on to spending my time in a different app called Busuu, BUT I CAN'T LET MY STREAK DIE. The bird always wins in the end...

Duolingo updated their Korean course again! Now it is extremely difficult to navigate, and there are now separate sections for a different level of knowledge.

for the picture of ice, it is not that you have to guess the name but sometimes you learn something with the link of something you know. take for example the ice. you know how ice looks, it is supposed to make visually the word in Korean to said thing you know, and then later on you get asked the word without the drawings and it is more likely you know but really can't pin point why (like recognition but no recollection to why do you recognise it, “why do I knew it?”). that's why it is so Duolingo is so focused on repetition. it is made for interleaved practice (proven to be most effective for learning, but I'd swear for learning new languages there are other studies that check what is best). * I study psychology and really had fun with memory psychology, learning, educational and psycholinguistics.

I hear that little 'incorrect' chime in my sleep. And I had to laugh, just like you, the majority of my incorrect answers are just from misclicking on the the incorrect word bubble and not noticing before I hit submit. My brain translates correctly, my fingers hit whatever they feel like.

Love it! ❤️ I'm almost through unit 4. 😄 The weird sentences at the beginning are all based on the sounds that you learn off the bat. It's not really about making sense until later on once you build vocabulary and get more comfortable reading Hangul.

Can you also do the korean to english duolingo course?

I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND WATCHED THESE 2 VIDEOS LIKE A FEW DAYS AGO LMAO, WHAT A COINCIDENCE
