Le Coreen is one of the most difficult languages you can learn. What made you learn?

sarang obseoyo :(

Korean is for girls lads, if you are a bloke learn Japanese

>>55002770
I'll probably be heading there myself one day but it's not in my immediate itinerary. Too bad. At least 헬조선 isn't too different, right?

you have such an ugly fucking accent, I'd tell you to go choke on a Korean cock but their 1.5 inches wouldn't be enough for your fat mouth

>>55002916
Say something you haven't already said, 선배. It's not like it's getting any worse.

>>55002796
I was just curious about it, so I started to learn a little bit about it. The more I learned the more it struck me as a really pretty language and also really challenging to learn, which made me want to keep learning more. I really like it.

>>55002822
This desu, but I can't figure out why. Why are white chicks so drawn to Korean culture? Mystifies me.

>>55002941
What is wrong with you lad?

>>55002944
I don't really know alot of words yet. I think if I tried to read something aloud I would get it completely wrong t.b.h.

You'd learn more from trying something new and getting it wrong then corrected than from pronouncing something you've already been assessed for, 선배. Go ahead and humiliate yourself desu.

Can you tell me specifically things that I am doing wrong?

>>55002965
I guess effeminate Kpop boys fill a niche that isn't common in the West. Ask a little girl why they fancy that sort of thing though; I wouldn't know.

>>55003132
It's the same over here btw. Each week I see girls discussing how cute their Korean teacher is on the train.

>>55002965
basically this>>55003132
they have that boyband look young girls love. Most of them grow out of it by 25

>>55003132

I would say that this is the reason that Korean is a "girl" thing. Those guys have a more "qt" style than western guys. Although I'm not into kpop personally.

However I started watching some Korean TV shows for listening practice and I can see why they are popular. Noice work making TV shows, Korea. Usually when I try to watch TV shows in a language I am studying, they are terrible.

>>55003118
Your ㅈs sound rather more like ㅊ. I think you're putting too much breath into it. Try to make it sound more like the soft G in "concierge" than the J in "jam", but not by too much. Also the ㅅ in 학생 shouldn't be audible until you actually begin pronouncing the second syllable. Hak-seng, not haks-seng or haks-eng.

Thank you

I really hope one day I can improve, it's difficult because at this point I can't even tell what I am doing wrong

>>55003320
Get yourself a local practice buddy who's native if at all possible. I'd offer myself if my Korean weren't so ass.

>>55003263
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Wxh5IDOFLv

okay and I tried saying them...

>>55003386
Yeah, that is a problem that will be affecting me. I don't know anyone IRL that speaks Korean. Thankfully I live in California so I should be able to find someone eventually. Right now I am just listening to audio files and watching TV shows but that's nothing compared to a person who can be there and correct the mistake until you get it right.

>>55002781
Sure how can I recorde?

>>55002916
Aha that is you

>>55003402
That's pretty much perfect for ㅈ. As for the other thing, I meant that your syllables are blending into each other too much. Consonants in Korean don't produce sounds on their own. When you see something like 생, you should treat the ㅅ as more like the starting configuration of your mouth as you transform into the ㅇ via ㅐ, but what you're doing sounds to me like you're sort of hissing an S sound in advance. Maybe that sounds kind of esoteric and nitpicky.

Do you have a recording device? If you don't have a standalone microphone you could use an integrated laptop mic. Just go to http://vocaroo.com/ and hit record. It's simple enough to operate.

If you've got neither, then we're all out of luck.

>>55003537
No, that is very good information. Thank you for telling me so much about it because without someone IRL to help me, I pretty much have to go off of descriptions like you are giving. I will try to internalize the ㅈ sound and hopefully soon my ears will be accustomed to the language enough to hear the problem you're describing with blending ㅅ

>>55003569
Oh ok. What should I record?

>Your English sounds pretty nice. Did you spend some time abroad?
Are you sure? Nah, I've never been to English spoken countries. Thank you for your compliment

>>55004049
Sounds like you get some practice, at least.

Senpai, I need to improve my Korean but it's just not happening. I can't understand half the stuff being said on the news and such and I see no signs of it ever improving even when I try to learn all the new words I encounter. The abundance of homophones and my lack of knowledge of the underlying 한자 make it difficult to work out meanings via context. I try to expose myself to more Korean by looking for media that coincide with my interests but they're rather hobbyist and unsuited for common usage, making it difficult to retain.

I don't feel that I'm getting any closer to the common lexicon. Do you have any 꿀팁s for quickly improving my vocabulary?

>>55004361
Oh you were not a korean?

>>55004406
I am, but I spent a lot of time abroad and didn't really have many opportunities to learn Korean. I'd say I'm about as well-spoken as the average middle schooler here.

>>55004463
Oh I see, where did you spend your life?

>>55007632
NZ and Australia.

>>55007825
So are you citizen of there?
or you live in korea now?

>>55007965
I'm here forever now. I'm looking into serving as a conscript in the immediate future. Things are looking pretty bleak desu.
