Korean celebrities should make sure that they take care of themselves first.
Speaker 2:Mental health.
Speaker 1:Yes. Public opinion is trash.
Speaker 2:People should realize that mental health is as serious as physical health. And when he said that, like you can imagine what all of these
Speaker 1:celebrities are going through. Kim So Yeon, Saga was angry. I don't think anybody has to go through what she went through before she died. So for
Speaker 2:her to go through all this, them bullying to finally make the decision she did. I can't imagine what she went through.
Speaker 1:Boyfriend is boyfriend though, but family comes first. I don't know if they abandoned her as well because if they did, it's really sad because even if your boyfriend is giving you all those kind of energy, you should have a family who cares for you regardless. K drama preaches love preaches a lot of things.
Speaker 2:It's sad
Speaker 1:that the society that they are in is not even practicing what they preach in the dramas. It's quite unfortunate. But I used see Korea as a place from the movies. Oh my god. I want I this is how it is.
Speaker 1:But that's not how it is in reality.
Speaker 2:And we are your
Speaker 1:K drama besties. This is brought to you by the house chronicles. Do not forget to like, follow, share and comment. And I'm your host Fiona Moses as always. And today I have a very, very special guest and let me give you an expo.
Speaker 1:She also speaks Korean fluently. This is a part to be embarrassed for. And her name is Angel.
Speaker 2:Hi. Nice to be here.
Speaker 1:Yeah. It's nice to have you. I'm really excited to have you here.
Speaker 2:Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1:You're going to be my I'm going to use the worst teacher in Korea.
Speaker 2:Sonsang name. Sonsang name.
Speaker 1:Oh my God. She's going to be my Sonsang name. Yeah.
Speaker 2:So when
Speaker 1:are we going to start our teaching?
Speaker 2:Mean, started today.
Speaker 1:Did you hear that? Say it again. Okay, Angel, so what was your favourite? Like how did you even start learning Korean language? Is it Korean language?
Speaker 1:Because I know you speak other languages, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 1:What other language can you speak?
Speaker 2:Spanish is my next favorite that I always call Oh, really? Yeah. But the Korean language was always like the first love. Yeah. So even if like as a polyglot, even if I delve into other languages tomorrow, if I want to default I started it's probably Korean.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, love it. Because she's so Korean. Like I'm really excited. I've been following it for like way back because I know that you speak, why even I started following was because I actually stumbled upon your page and I realized that you speak Korean first and you write.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:What's my brain? And I'm here since I'm still battling how to talk to me in Korean. Is a part to be ashamed This is nice. So which K drama did you like first start watching? Which was like, which is this?
Speaker 2:So back then, this was years ago, the same cassette period. So I watched Jumang with my mom, but back then I didn't even know. I probably thought it was a Chinese drama. Didn't know anything like K drama back then, but I know I watched Juman with my mom, but a few years later still in secondary school, then watched Boys Over Flowers. That was when I knew that K drama is a thing and I love K drama.
Speaker 2:Since then, although I remember that I did see Juman a bit earlier, Boys Before Flowers was what I said to that, Oh, this is a K drama.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a Korean.
Speaker 2:And since then I've not gone back basically.
Speaker 1:So like Boys Before I introduced you, let me just give you this. I had a guest on my show. Okay. And she said Boys Overflow is trash. She said like, confidently she's like, Boys Over Flower is cringe is trash.
Speaker 1:She watches K drama, but she's like, why would she watch Boys For Flower? And I'm like, I almost see, almost thought that
Speaker 2:maybe she watched it recently. Maybe she watched it recently because if it was back then, Postgres was the standard, personal taste, all of them were the standard. Maybe if you watch them now, you'd be like, I don't know what should say
Speaker 1:that. Yeah, can't, I still have, but the problem I have is Netflix doesn't have the company. Netflix, I don't even rely on Netflix for
Speaker 2:my Korean drama.
Speaker 1:Anybody that's relying on Netflix, I'm sorry, you will not be updated like, you know, your K drama changes. So, well, I also, Boyz Fafua was my first K drama too. And you know, the boys will always be the reason why we had,
Speaker 2:I mean, that's why to date people see Limi Ho and they call him Gujjun Pyo. They don't even know he's Limi, some people think it's two different persons, Gujjun So yeah,
Speaker 1:I really liked Voice for Flowers because when I first went to the business center, because that's where they sell CDs, this CD crack. My mother was even saying, please now let's, it's not if we don't watch anything without a game. And I'm like, see, we know that's fine. Yeah. Then hopefully Miranda went to buy me a laptop.
Speaker 1:Please, I can't
Speaker 2:install Yes.
Speaker 1:You will see. Yeah. I think that area was really beautiful. I don't think you can take it away from anybody. No, no, no.
Speaker 1:Because if, I don't know, a lot of people would say that boys for flowers, favorite like first K drama and it's still like one of the favorite people have because your first love is your first love. Yes. Even in K drama, first love is still your first love. No matter how many other K drama that we've Exactly. Agree.
Speaker 1:We've watched,
Speaker 2:smacked Many new cuter actors covered. The OG Opa's always gonna be the OG Opa's.
Speaker 1:Saw some people that, you know who is like still my favorite, even if he's getting his adjectives
Speaker 2:early. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:He's still, he's like, I think he's now an adjective.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's an
Speaker 1:But regardless, we love Ajoshis too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1:Do you have like a favorite Ajoshi?
Speaker 2:Gungyo Pa from Goblin. Yes, that's an Ajoshi that you would always love.
Speaker 1:Him and the green reaper.
Speaker 2:Oh my. And they are like almost 40, 50 years old Yeah. Above. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And how are you this gorgeous? Yeah. Well, no. See what they are doing. I don't know what they are eating, but let's travel to South Korea soon and eat it for all I Okay.
Speaker 1:So do you have like a favorite Korean drama right now at the moment?
Speaker 2:Oh, at the moment, I love when life gives you dandruin. You see, this is why I watch K dramas. You always take something from me. I mean, drama is so beautiful. When life gives you tangerine.
Speaker 2:You're seeing it as well.
Speaker 1:I've already seen it too.
Speaker 2:Everything packed. I like watching things that just do something in me.
Speaker 1:You know that when I saw IU, I knew she was going to give you. Yeah, yeah. IU is a great singer. She's a K pop art artist and also an actress. Yes.
Speaker 1:And she gives in energy for black. Yes. She keeps, I never knew someone could cry as much as IU cried when life gives you Tangerine.
Speaker 2:I got to give it to IU. She's a very, very big singer. She's she if it's in the drama, she still kills it like a very good Yeah, she's very talented.
Speaker 1:Still does. And I think when life gives you, Tanjirin has a lot of moral lessons when it comes to marriage. See, just, the one thing I picked from that drama is money is good, but money is not happiness because she got She got opportunity to actually be with a rich man, but it wasn't looking rosy. Because she has always been saying, Oh, I want to get married to a rich man, wealthy man. By the end of the day, realized that if I'm here, I'm going to cry.
Speaker 1:She just had to run. You know, I cried when she was running to him. Did you
Speaker 2:know when he was swimming to get her?
Speaker 1:When they said he's going to swim the ocean. That was,
Speaker 2:I did not expect that. I thought he was actually going to live on that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, then maybe come back to And
Speaker 2:then what do you mean he?
Speaker 1:I want that one.
Speaker 2:What else do
Speaker 1:you want?
Speaker 2:Like that shows actions. I think the river is just like, the river is like a symbol. Yes. Like a man that can take a very hefty step. Like it was so beautiful that
Speaker 1:It doesn't matter what is in front of him. Wow. It doesn't matter the barrier, he broke it.
Speaker 2:He broke it, yes.
Speaker 1:He did. I was thinking Queen of Tears, you know now Queen of Tears was that K drama that I'm like, Oh my God, I want the man like, No, when life gives you Tangerine is the man we need. If you have not seen it, I'm sorry for all you who do not watch K drama, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:You said something to Justyell, you said, you know, she always wanted the rich man, right? And you said, so I think it's onto you, you're faced with the choice that you actually like when you actually see the money, you know, now if you say to me that I would like pick happiness over money. But I think it's when you're actually in that position where you've seen what the money looks like and you've seen what happiness looks like, then you know that you got to pick the happiness. I think that's what she did.
Speaker 1:See, you know, I feel other things also affected her decision because her mom always wanted her to be a great person. Some people will still choose the money and say fuck it. But she knew that her mom wanted her to be happy. Most importantly, the mom knows that she's intelligent and she knows that. Okay.
Speaker 1:I think she knew that even if I'm with this guy, we're going to scale through anywhere that comes. Mean, this
Speaker 2:is the guy that he knows when to pull the chair out. He knows when she's really like he's a He
Speaker 1:knows her like the back of his hands. And everybody in the village knew that, okay, this guy really
Speaker 2:likes And
Speaker 1:he looked like a dummy boy. No, no, no. He could give his life for her. The part that broke me was when they lost their child. I really cried.
Speaker 1:See life, when life gives Tangerine is actually very emotional because this drama is a drama where her daughter is one telling
Speaker 2:the story
Speaker 1:of her parents, like when they started and how they grew up together. The father still loved this man even at old age. Want What would she want? That kind of marriage, please. Please.
Speaker 1:I don't want to get emotional right now. Do you know that last, my last episode, I was really, I was angry with this Kim So Young sack. I was angry Kim. Oh, no, no, no, no. I was really angry because I don't think anybody has to go through what she went through before she died.
Speaker 1:And she was just 24.
Speaker 2:That's what pisses me. If she was all this 30, 40 years old, she was very young when she met him.
Speaker 1:She was very, it doesn't
Speaker 2:look so we all saw her grow up in front of our eyes. Like if I think of Kim Se Ryeon right now, I'm going to think of the movies where I saw her as a very young child. Did you get? So for her to go through all this, them bullying to finally make the decision she did, I can't imagine what she went through.
Speaker 1:She went through for her to like end up saying, oh, I'm done. I'm done.
Speaker 2:And she did the saddest part is she did try to speak out. She tried to speak out by posting all those stories of those pictures. That was her trying to speak out.
Speaker 1:You know, in as much as they are dragging Kim So Yeon, right? I'm still very, very much concerned about her family members. Let's see. Let's come to reality here. He's yes.
Speaker 1:If he was just a random person. Yeah. I don't think people want to like get involved like that because he's actually known. But what about her family members? Did she have, I know she has like two sisters because I've seen, don't she have a mother?
Speaker 1:I feel your sibling should be like the closest. See boyfriend is boyfriend though, but family comes first. I don't know if they abandoned her as well because if they did, it's really sad because even if your boyfriend is giving you all those kind of energy, you should have a family who cares for you regardless.
Speaker 2:So the story goes that after her death, her aunt and the cousin, because according to them, bigger news channels did not want to accept their story. So they had to reach out to a Korean YouTuber that does all these teas on celebrity. He one, he or she was the one that broke the story. So according to the aunt, even when she was dating Kim Soo Hyun when she was young, the aunt wanted to speak out, but it's Kim Soo Hyun we're talking about you can't just no news would even take the story so it was only half dead that the cousin started posting the pictures the screenshots of what Kim Soo Hyun wanted to post herself that she didn't you know get to and all of this so I think the aunt and the cousin were the ones working with the YouTubers to be posting all this evidence and all these clues that we're
Speaker 1:seeing now. Okay, so the thing here is I understand the whole saga, but I feel she see it. I know that she, she wanted to become a really, she was already a good, she was already
Speaker 2:a good Yeah.
Speaker 1:She's still, this is what she has already dedicated her life to become. Just seeing it all go down just like that.
Speaker 2:And it's not that she got fame, like she blew up in her, like
Speaker 1:she's, she started from
Speaker 2:As long as she could remember, she was always in
Speaker 1:the social
Speaker 2:child that was yes, yes.
Speaker 1:My see, my consent still remains. Your life is literally at stake. If I have a child and I see her going through five assists, let me not even, I know most parents may not even understand because most parents read, are not really close Let's say I have a sister and I find her at that edge. I won't even want her to, I don't even want to say to even be something she would think about. At that point, even if agencies were saying no, just see your mental health at that point should be on priority.
Speaker 1:Just move out in because she knows that this is she's not the first person. Yeah, she's not. She's not the second person. And another person just died recently.
Speaker 2:Yep. Forgotten his name. The man in my midst.
Speaker 1:Another person just that see, this team will just keep on going. I feel Korean celebrity should make sure that they take care of themselves first.
Speaker 2:Mental health. Yes.
Speaker 1:Because if you, I think see public opinion is trash. Yeah. Because people will still say rubbish about you no matter what, because she tried her best to make sure that, now she's dead. People are not saying, Oh, she didn't do that. She did that.
Speaker 1:But she's no more. So I don't, there's more valid
Speaker 2:like there's nothing. There's a BTS member that I don't, I think it's Suga, I'm not sure. Last week he made a statement like we should, us as people should realize that mental health is as serious as physical health. Like it's easy to say, oh, this person is so sick, you know, they are throwing up, we should take them to the hospital. So he was trying to say people should realize that mental health is as serious as physical health.
Speaker 2:And when he said that, like you can imagine what all of these
Speaker 1:celebrities are doing right. That's why you see the first time I actually stumbled across BTS and their songs. Language is a barrier, if it's But do you know the funny part? If you look at the lyrics, put it back into English subtitle. If you do not know BTS, just listen to their song.
Speaker 1:Go on. Look for the English translation. It is beautiful.
Speaker 2:They're always healing words.
Speaker 1:There's this song I literally sat down and I'm like, needed that song at that moment because I was going through a lot and BTS just came. Do you know how many people BTS have? Healed. Healed from suicide. Like they had suicidal thoughts and they listened to BTS and BTS literally is telling them, I love you.
Speaker 1:We love you. We are here for you.
Speaker 2:I was in this gathering of fellow K pop K drama fans late last year. Everyone was already kind of going home, but then BTS came on before I knew it people had formed a round circle and they were just holding hands I looked at them and I said no no BTS has not just BTS, K pop has their wordings, their lyrics has really healed a lot of people. And when that's okay, when I remembered my BTS days years ago when I would listen to the ah BTS.
Speaker 1:So BTS is the standard, honestly. BTS is the standard because we need people like that. They love everybody. And this is what I feel K drama preaches love, preaches a lot of things. It's sad that the society that they are in is not even practicing what they preach in the dramas.
Speaker 1:It's quite unfortunate because I used to see Korea as a place where, Oh my God, from the movies, Oh my God, I want, this is how it is. But it's sad that
Speaker 2:that's not how it is. That's not A Korean celebrity said, if only Korean netizens, like Korean citizens would give as much scrutiny as they give their celebrities to their politicians, because it's a big deal if a Korean artist has a small tattoo, ah, you have a tattoo.
Speaker 1:Was like
Speaker 2:fuck you They were trying to get JK, like the video, someone videoed him for a fact, he was, I think smoking a cigarette and they were trying to make it the deal like, oh, And he was not hiding. He was actually standing on the streets.
Speaker 1:That's why I like JK. JK doesn't even care about anybody. He sees his hair starts on. He doesn't care. He does what he wants to do because he knows that love starts with you.
Speaker 1:He loves himself. So you guys are just, yeah,
Speaker 2:he loves himself. He's actually my bias.
Speaker 1:JK, really? Yeah. Think a lot of me is JK and Jimin. I just started even liking Jimin. His eyes are really He's got great eyes, you know?
Speaker 1:So do you have like a favorite male lead character?
Speaker 2:Oh, I do. I do. And he has earned the spot. He don't look. Oh.
Speaker 2:He has earned the spot because it's kind of like the issue I'm having with Lim Minho right now because he don't look and Lim Minho, they are in the same bracket. They are not the new ones. They are the OGs. Yeah, are the OGs. The reason I'm just going to say he don't look straight up is because I've seen him in different roles.
Speaker 2:You don't come play the funny guy, the crazy detective. He can play the good Miho, the night tailed I've seen him in different roles and he kills it every time. Feel like Liminhoe is always the, rich. Liminho has not really done a lot of versatile roles.
Speaker 1:He hasn't.
Speaker 2:So he should just do
Speaker 1:You know that boys for class came, personalities came, King Eternal Monarch was coming up and I was, I knew I couldn't wait for it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It didn't disappoint me. Yeah. It did not. After King Eternal Monarch, couple of K dramas, I don't know why Leomin who doesn't really do a lot of work. I think he focuses more on modeling.
Speaker 1:Will I say that? No, think so. Because even when the stars gossip was about to air, I was really happy because, Oh my God, my man is finally coming back. My Lord.
Speaker 2:Well, I don't get it though. You may not go to a stage where, I mean, Google for ten years plus he has been receiving an award. Like for ten years plus he has been receiving an award of the most famous international actor. Like no one has taken it from him for for So we know it goes to a stage where even people from the smallest countries know Why take that much break? And then if you're coming back, why take a script like that?
Speaker 2:So he really he really should step
Speaker 1:it up. Right?
Speaker 2:You read the script, right?
Speaker 1:Because see, the truth is there. Actress is a good act. This lady that's acted with him. She's really good. I feel everybody that, you know, there's a kid, there's an actor that I feel people are not giving enough flowers to.
Speaker 1:This guy, he was in when the stars gossip to the guy that was supposed
Speaker 2:to marry her. Didn't want Okay.
Speaker 1:You've seen him, but he's okay not to be okay. Yeah. His brother, the one that has the autism. Oh, Oh, that's What's
Speaker 2:his name? He's an Oh, that's an Adjoshia. That's
Speaker 1:See that guy, he's in
Speaker 2:almost all the dramas, but he gives a flirt to the He's drama. Yeah. He's very good.
Speaker 1:This guy can act, see his Honda, I know that he's not, like people don't really talk about him because he's not good looking. Okay. He's not good looking. That's why he's not on the spotlight. But this guy can act any He can act.
Speaker 1:I mean,
Speaker 2:he acted almost like an inverse He had you in your feelings, feeling for the, he was the, yeah.
Speaker 1:If you see him act as autistic, yeah.
Speaker 2:Autistic, yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm like, wait, you are doing this. Like he can't give you He
Speaker 2:can't give you anything. I think, I mean, we all focus on, Oh, who's the female? Who's the male?
Speaker 1:I mean, even
Speaker 2:the harmonies, even the Harabodis, there are some people that we just like to see them. You know that, okay, this person in this movie played for
Speaker 1:me Yeah, are few people that are not really out there that I'm like, even some K dramas that have lead actors and actresses, love. And you still find like secondly characters are giving more love story,
Speaker 2:just like business proposal. I think for business proposal, the rap that's got to give it to them. You just had to stand the second leads long because No,
Speaker 1:I don't think I have. Beautiful. See till now, you see comedy. Business proposal is that kid drama that had everything together
Speaker 2:because- You know I have nothing.
Speaker 1:She's like,
Speaker 2:go, that lady was a She's actually,
Speaker 1:do know she's in almost all K
Speaker 2:drama girls? She's actually a big-
Speaker 1:because she knows We may
Speaker 2:not know them based on popularity, but in terms of weight, they're actually big names. She's good.
Speaker 1:When she was trying to do all the English thing, you know, I have no chingo. That, no, she's good. She's good. She's someone that, she's like the guy. She was knocking off souls too.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes.
Speaker 1:She's seen a lot of K dramas that, no, she's good though. So who is your favorite couple, like K drama favorite couple?
Speaker 2:King the land. Sara, right? Sara was her name, Sara and the CEO. I loved the, I loved those couple. Yeah, I'll pick King the land couple for now.
Speaker 1:King the land, the drama itself did not give me stress.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know all those stress that the CEO said this, the CEO said that. King the land was just that K drama that you see the OST is one of my favorite OSTs right now, like till date. King the land, then I think the judge from hell OST also came, King the land OST still is at the top of the game because it did not stress me, honestly. They didn't stress me. The couples did not have too much fight.
Speaker 1:All these
Speaker 2:King the Land is a replica. Like I like to call it a safe replica of a drama, which is what's wrong with Secretary King, right? Yeah. So even though we know that, okay, it's the same CEO, secretary thing, the chemistry, you could actually see that. There was
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's good. She's only acted big mouth. Oh, I've
Speaker 2:seen big Oh no. Yeah. I think everybody should, that's a very good recommendation. That's a good People should really check.
Speaker 1:People don't really talk about, Big Mouth is that K drama, yeah.
Speaker 2:There are a lot of K dramas that people don't know that I've watched them like everybody. So I don't like to always pick popular ones. It's just like maybe Squid Games now. If someone say, Oh, recommend, I wouldn't recommend squid game. Not because it's not very good, but like there are other most popular ones.
Speaker 2:But you see Alchemy of Souls, whether it was because it broke records in every country, right? I just have to give it to them. To them. It's a legend.
Speaker 1:It's something that was just
Speaker 2:outside the box. Yes. Totally never seen before. I mean, even this season two, most people didn't really rock with this season two, but even this season two made sense, which is something a lot of dramas. Mean, have dramas that season one is very good.
Speaker 2:But I can't be of souls. I mean, very, very good.
Speaker 1:I think that was the problem season too hard. Mold is just when I went she's after, what's it called? And she came with, what's the name of this other K drama she came with? Love Next Door.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, she's one in Love
Speaker 1:Next I'm like, she's gonna give us, she delivered. Nudok is really good.
Speaker 2:I think I actually like the actress. She's really good. So
Speaker 1:what's your favorite? This is the last question. Who's your favorite K drama CEO? I think it's Kang Tebu.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure, but it's skeptic. Yes. He wowed the The first probably wanted to take her man that day. So he literally just No,
Speaker 1:no, see, anybody that tells me, I have a CEO man. And I'm like, is he capable? He capable? Is he capable? Get business proposals man?
Speaker 1:Because no, that guy showed work in Zoom.
Speaker 2:He did. Coincidentally, when business proposal was trending was when the sound was trending. They used him in a lot of eddies, especially when he flogged the body, right? That's true. They used him for that eddies.
Speaker 1:No, that is actually the song. I feel he is the song. He's That song is meant
Speaker 2:for him.
Speaker 1:Nobody else. Because no, And yes, so it's insane. Like I said before, she speaks and she writes Korean perfectly. Perfectly, right?
Speaker 2:Yes, perfectly. The writing is the simplest of it. Really? I mean, it's just like English. They teach you how to write, read from your primary school, right?
Speaker 2:So the writing and the reading aspect of any language, especially the Korean language is the simplest part, trust me.
Speaker 1:What am I? Shocked. Like, Yeah.
Speaker 2:Has it to write Korean character? That's a simple, that's like a week class for my classes. Really? Yeah.
Speaker 1:A moment of silence. How? So how long did it take you to like learn I
Speaker 2:mean, like I said, we learn every day. If I say, oh, I've been learning for so so years. Someone would think, you know, I've been studying every day for
Speaker 1:so Can you say this in Korea? Okay, maybe translate. So how long have you been learning Korean?
Speaker 2:Like you have to tell us in Korea. Spanish. Spanish. Yeah, not just Korea, Spanish. So like, my favorite language.
Speaker 1:That's nice. That's, I hope you guys understood what she said. What she just wants to let us know is that she also learned how to speak Spanish, Korea is her favorite. Yes. Me, I cannot speak or I can chat small, you know, understand a little, but not too much.
Speaker 1:Well, we're going to see this is, she's like a challenge for me. I'm coming back here and I'm speaking Korea often. Horsesaw, fighting. Fighting, yes. You're doing this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I'm actually, I don't know I'm so excited. Imagine I know how to speak Korean fluently.
Speaker 2:I go.
Speaker 1:Are you proud? Oh, I'm
Speaker 2:proud. A 15 years old version of myself would be proud. The version that was watching voice over for If she knew that future version of myself, she would be
Speaker 1:so proud. I'm jealous because are like, do you know that most times I'm eating, I'm catching up like I need to eat and catch up with the subtitles. And you're like, let's eat. We know what they're saying. Oh my God, I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2:And it gets to a point where you got to use Korean subtitles when you're
Speaker 1:watching. Yeah. I I started learning through how to talk to me in Korea. Shout out to everybody that has, what's it called? Apps to learn languages.
Speaker 1:But she said YouTube videos. Yeah. You should let her tell us herself. Think you get I
Speaker 2:mean, people should have figured this out by now. When I'm on live or something, people are like, oh, I've been learning for five years. And then I'm like, okay, but they were like, I've been learning for five years, but I can't speak like you. So when I asked them, okay, how do you learn? Cause that's the most important question.
Speaker 2:How do you learn? Then they say Duolingo.
Speaker 1:Yes, Duolingo. I see I have it on my phone. That Duolingo is they wouldn't be reminding you. You haven't done a challenge today. So
Speaker 2:I like to tell them this. It would take another five years to be able to say something. So apps are what I like to call lazy studying. Like, oh, the right sentence is not, I'm learning Korean with Duolingo. No, the right sentence is I'm studying Korean.
Speaker 2:And once in a while, just practice with Duolingo. So you have to study the language, not just apps. Apps have phrases there already. It's already like how to say I'm hungry, to say boy, how to say girl, you can sit down on apps. Wait,
Speaker 1:pants, sit it in.
Speaker 2:It cannot show you how to make that sentence, how to have a conversation. So people that use only applications to study, they know how to say, they know how to say, how to make a sentence. So studying with YouTube videos and websites would, you should learn how to build sentences, past tense, present tense, just like you learned English, basically.
Speaker 1:Okay. So you're saying YouTube videos helps. And I think watching podcasts, career podcasts.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah. That's for listening practice.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Listening. Yeah. Right. For listening practice.
Speaker 1:So I think I should do that. So is there like any YouTube channel?
Speaker 2:A lot. If you just search like anything, any topic you want to learn, will search. So it's on you now, which of the teachers do you relate to more than you can follow them? There are a lot of even non native Koreans are teaching Koreans on YouTube. So you just search YouTube if you want to learn maybe verbs, any YouTuber that you feel like, okay, this person explains better or speaks slower, whichever YouTuber works for you, you can follow them up.
Speaker 2:You see how to use Yeah.
Speaker 1:So all my fellow Korean language people trying to learn how to speak Korean just like myself. So what I've learned today is that the apps are good, but YouTube videos will help better. And for listening practices too, you can listen to podcasts in Korean language. So I think we should I'm going to try and I'm going to start. Let's see how in a month's time the progress that I've made.
Speaker 1:So I'll not just be stuck in. I'm not sure. Okay.
Speaker 2:Don't give up. Yeah. Because you get to a point where you like, is getting
Speaker 1:tedious, right? Learning a new language is not
Speaker 2:for you. Especially when people start mocking you for learning it. Trust me, you'd want to give up.
Speaker 1:You don't know what you're doing for Exactly. So she said she speaks Korean, Spanish. You said eight languages.
Speaker 2:Yeah, eight languages. The eighth one is Pidgin English.
Speaker 1:This is funny. So do you understand what it means to know how to speak eight languages? So if you want to speak Korean language, do you have like classes?
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah. Yeah. I've taught over 300 persons from all over the world, not just Nigerians, both Nigerians in the diaspora. I've taught them in Korean, Spanish and all these languages. By the grace of God, yeah, I have students now that are in South Korea.
Speaker 2:Woah.
Speaker 1:Have eight Yes.
Speaker 2:That I've taught that in South Korea right now.
Speaker 1:I know I'm proud
