How can you use YouTube to learn Korean?

If you’re new to learning Korean with videos, here are some helpful tips for you.

How can you use YouTube to learn Korean

Don’t forget to subscribe

Whichever Youtuber you want to follow, you’ll want to subscribe and also bookmark them to find them easier each time you log on. In addition, don’t forget to save your favorite video or ones that feel especially difficult to remember, onto a playlist, so that you can keep returning to them quickly over time.

Focus on Korean-learning videos

Do not click on anything unrelated to the Korean language when you are in the middle of learning! It’s easy to get sidetracked and then forget what you were even doing. Although procrastinating is fun, utilizing these for your Korean learning journey can be a blast, as well!

K-dramas and K-pop can help you learn too

Remember that not all the Korean learning videos people watch on this website have to directly teach you a specific grammar pattern or a list of words. They may also be Korean songs or clips of dramas, and you can even rent Korean movies like Train to Busan directly on this site. Or, you can even watch the very trendy Korean mukbang (먹방, meokbang) videos to aid your Korean learning in an entertaining way.

Make use of the captions

Take advantage of the closed captioning option on the videos, as well. It still hasn’t been developed to a level that wouldn’t leave you scratching your head at points, but it can still be advantageous. Of course, you only need these if there already aren’t captions provided by the YouTubers themselves. The site also offers the possibility to slow down the video speed, and playing with it may be helpful in listening to and understanding different Korean phrases.

Check the comment section

The comment section may prove to be helpful to you, too! Reading comments from other subscribers may give you a better understanding of the topic, and writing your comment in Korean can be a fun, practical practice in Korean language. And, who knows, you may even find a friend to continue practicing Korean with!

What is YouTube industry like in South Korea?

The industry of making videos for YouTube is thriving in Korea today. Although mukbangs are perhaps the best type of videos in Korea for gaining millions of viewers, fans, and subscribers, there are numerous different creators and styles of content out there.

As we briefly touched upon above, this industry is fruitful for Korean creators at the moment. Research states that famous YouTubers in South Korea make on average three times more per month in salary than the average salary in the country is. Thanks to brand sponsorship programs, especially for paid product placements in videos. It is a new line of work for people in Korea and wasn’t even considered a taxable income until September 2019.
