- Hey guys what's up!
Hello everyone, I'm Dong-In!
I'm Farina.
Today we'll film a highly requested video,
we'll try to talk only in Korean for 24 hours.
- Almost only. I have work to do, so...
- Yeah. It is not gonna be easy for me
I'm nowhere near speaking Korean yet.
- It's gonna be hard for me too.
I don't think I've ever talked Korean in a video before, so you guys don't know how much I suck.
- You don't.
- Since I grew up in Germany, I haven't really had real Korean conversations apart from my household where I'm just like *hungry*
It's exciting for me too.
- I've been studying Korean every now and then but I think it's hard to stay consistent.
But right now I'm trying to talk a lot with native speakers through an app called HelloTalk, who also decided to sponsor today's video.
- We speak German with each other in everyday life.
We actually had to get used to speaking English in front of camera.
- Oh yeah...
- It was awkward at first.
- It was really awkward at first,
and we actually started speaking English sometimes when we feel like our English is getting worse,
after not having filmed a video in a while.
We are just like okay let's just speak English for a day and it works!
- So, my Korean level is probably toddler level.
I know some words and I have some vocabulary.
- Yeah I think your comprehension is much better than actually using Korean.
- I mainly focused on learning new vocabulary during my studying sessions.
But I have a hard time building sentences, so it's gonna be chaotic.
- Yeah you've picked up some strange vocabulary along the way.
Recently Farina only watches Korean thrillers and horror movies, so she just picks up weird, grotesque words.
Human flesh.
- Let's start, I'm so not ready, but...
Let's go!
Let's only speak in Korean from now on.
Yes.
So what are we doing today?
It's alright.
What should we do today?
- What are we doing today?
Today is...work.
What are you filming today?
What are you working today?
Which work?
Video?
Today we're working with the Korean consulate general in Frankfurt.
Shopping.
Driving.
Doctor.
Eat.
Doggy go.
Bobby & Mochi go!
You mean you're going to walk the dogs?
The dogs..
Walk..
- Walky walky.
Taking them for a walk.
Take the dog for a walk.
Okay, are you ready?
- Let's go!
Because I need to go to the eye clinic later,
I can't wear contact lenses right now.
That's why Farina is driving instead!
Driver's license.
Driver's license, good!
What are you filming today?
Video?
Today's filming is finished.
Cheers!
Then let's go home first.
- Home?
It was exhausting right?
- Oh, exhausting?
A bit.
Was it a bit exhausting?
Yes.
We arrived at home.
I'm too tired.
Since it was really hot today, let's change our clothes first.
- Outfit...
- Change? Okay.
One, two, three..
Hurry, hurry! -Yes we need to hurry.
Shopping!
No, not shopping. I need to go to the doctor first.
- Oh, right.
Doctor first!
- Okay guys, Dong-In is at a doctor's appointment now,
so I can switch to English for a minute.
I quickly wanted to introduce you to an awesome app that probably many of you guys have heard about already.
It's the language exchange app HelloTalk,
with the world's largest language exchange community of over 20 million users worldwide from over 200 countries.
Basically the app connects you with native speakers of your learning language.
For example, in Korean, Japanese, German, English, Spanish, French, and the list goes on.
It's over 150 languages in total.
I've been starting to use it recently, and I've found that the language exchange on this platform really helped me to be more confident in using Korean to practice.
So, through HelloTalk you can chat with natives and the app also helps you find matching language partners who suit your language level.
So let's have a quick look into it.
This is my profile and Dong-In also started to use it recently, this is his profile.
He has a few more languages to offer as he's trying to learn Spanish and French as well.
Similar to other social media platforms,
you can post moments and have a feed where users post language, culture, food, and other related questions and experiences.
And reading them in the language that you're learning is actually really helpful to get a sense of how people really talk and express themselves naturally.
For example, if you're like me and think how would I communicate with a native speaking person?
The app really got your back and offers some very helpful features.
So when you're chatting with someone your partner can correct your mistakes, and you can correct your partner's errors as well.
Also, you can use a translating feature to understand vocabulary you don't know yet, or transliterate into Roman letters.
Which is pretty useful for languages like Korean, Chinese, Japanese, or Arabic.
So as you guys know now I'm not the best, yet, at forming full correct sentences in Korean.
I think so far the translation feature is my absolute fave.
So on top of learning new languages you can also, potentially, make some new friends.
Feel free to check out the link in the description box.
The app is for free with all the main functions, and you can also buy a VIP membership with a few more extra features.
