Am I a Bad Korean Teacher? | Tutoring My Brother

Okay, Alex, I have a phrase for you to say to Jeremy today. Man. Too many words. Can you read it? Slowly. Wait, Jeremy. What are you, just relaxing on the sofa? Let's see. Spot me if I'm wrong. No, it's wrong already. He's like, uh, and then I don't know. Someone's Korean's gotten better. Someone's Korean's gotten worse. Let's go up. Thanks, Jeremy. Welcome back to another episode of whatever this show is called. So, I was gone in Korea for about three months, and during that time, you were practicing everything that we learned. Everything. Unless you've been, like, studying frequently, you've probably noticed that you don't remember a lot of stuff from before. It turns out you have to study. Who would've thought? First, I want to see if you can remember some of the stuff we'd previously learned. Um, can you remember... Like, for example, My name? Yeah. Not bad, okay. Okay, 저는 means I. Here, I'll give you an easy one. Easier than I? Yeah, I promise it's easier. Oh, that is easier. Nice to meet you? Yeah, that's right. Oh, okay, not bad. You've clearly forgotten some stuff, but it's salvageable. Oh, yeah, I also wanted to show you, I have a new book. It just came out. This is my advertising space. Oh, yeah, let's check this out. Your bananas went bad. What is this book? Uh, yeah, it's a common mistake book, so you don't need it. Why is there a picture of me on page seven? I didn't know you were even writing a book. I like it. So let's take a look. I want to look at the end. It doesn't have an end. It's not a novel. Dear John, Is that how to break up with your boyfriend in Korean? Yeah, kind of. It's for people writing letters. Adding more emotion. You haven't watched enough Korean soap operas, and you need to make sure you had enough emotion into your words. That's kind of cool. That actually sounds like a more organic way to learn than just straight textbooks. Thanks for helping me sell my new book. We're going to be doing a game today, actually, and there are some prizes, and they're matching cards. I'm going to put them on the table, and you're going to have to try to match them. I don't think you can ruin my video that easily. So there are lots of cards here, and each of them has one match. No! If you win, you can get Korean traditional tattoo stickers. Oh, nice! And I won't know what they say, like everyone else. Just put something on your arm, and it's like... I just said... Tax evasion. Yeah, I got this when I was in Seoul. So go ahead and start. You can put a timer on just for... I'll put a timer on just to create the suspense. Okay, three, two, one. Okay. I tried to pick ones that you might know. Pang... Pang? No. Never mind. You got to check a second one, though. Oh, yeah, it's a memory game. Try to read it. Why am I forgetting that letter? It's so easy! This one? Yes! It's one of the basic ones. Yes, it is! It's not... No, it's not the P or V or whatever. It's actually an English word. Okay. Let me start over. I'm not going to edit it to make it look like you knew it. Dan... Yeah, yeah. Dance. Oh, dance? Yeah. What do you think it means? Cheese! I don't know! Yeah. Name? Yeah, yeah. Name? Okay. This is much more difficult than I was expecting. Kimchi? Yeah. Kimchi? Yeah. Hey! All right. Mak... Makda. Yeah. Makda. This means... I thought it was Mokda. Yeah, it is Mokda. Yeah. Do you remember what it means? Makda, Alex! I thought it was Mokda! Yeah, you just read it wrong somehow. This was another English word. So... This is an E vowel. Se-Te-E-Ge. No! Se... Se-Te-E-Ge. Yeah. Se-Te-E-Ge. This is going to sehtake a while. Next one! There is no K in it! This is the same vowel here as the vowel here. Ne? Oh. Yeah. Ne? Yeah. Ne? Yeah. Ne 어머니 means no. No. Ne? Wait, yes! It means yes. Okay, we're going to make a new rule that if you read it, you can keep it hand over. Okay. Che-ju. Yeah. Che-ju. Well, no, not che. Je. What's that vowel? Eh. Not eh. Ji. Ji-ju. Chee. Yeah. Chee-ju. Okay. Chee-ju. Like cheese? Yeah. Chee-ju. Okay. You got it. Okay. You get that one. Ge-uh. Oh my god. Kimchi. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that one was... No. Ba. Yeah. Bom. Ba. Bo. Not bull. You had it right. Ba. You're like, ba, ba. Bull! No! Oh-ba. Yeah. You know that word. I mean, I know it from the song, but I don't know the... Yeah, yeah, from the song, you know. What's it mean? Older brother. That also means older brother. Je-le. Je-le-me. Je-le-me? Yeah. Je-le-me. You got a match? I got a match. You got a match. Thank goodness. It's been 11 minutes. All right. We got a match. Hun. Yeah. Hun. Okay. Hun. And what does that mean? Older brother. Yeah. Hun. Yeah. I thought that was the same. I thought that was older brother. It also... How many brothers do you have in Korea? Hun. That's... Oh, yeah. Here you go. Ma... So what's that say? Michael. Yeah. I don't even need to read the rest. Yeah. Michael Jackson. That's right. Yeah. Simone. I see you. Okay. You haven't even touched these ones, so I'm going to use them to flip. Yeah, because I don't... I have to reach all the way over the table. Yeah. So flip over this one. Okay. Oh, there you go. There's an easy one. Says the guy fluent in Korean who's written three books. Five. New rule. Every card you flip over, stay split over. Okay. Il... Ilang... Ilang Mosuk. Who does it sound like? Ilang Mosuk. You got a match. Yeah. That's... That was a big brother one. That was... Oppa Gangnam Style. Oppa... Oppa Gangnam Style. Hand... And... Yeah. Handaphone. Handyphone. Which is the Korean word for cellphone. They call it handaphone. Hangukmal. Yeah. Hangukmal. What's that mean again? Korean. The language. It's like asking a girl what her name is on the third date. Okay. You got a match. Hand... Fall... There's no and. You can't make new letters in Korean. There's no F. Oh yeah, you got a match. Kamsahamnida. Yep, kamsahamnida. Which means, hello, thank you. Thank you. You walk up to a stranger, kamsahamnida. Hello. Elon Musk. Yeah, you got a match. Oh, okay. Yes. Alright, good job. I think you should get one of these as a prize. Regardless. Actually, I think you should get the Korean words as your punishment. I'll put them on the back of my hand. That way I'll know them like the back of my hand. So, I think that went pretty well. Next time maybe we'll do like Korean numbers. Like how to count in Korean. What are you trying to do? It's not going to spin. It's totally off balance. Thanks for coming everyone. Let's do Geuramtametoba. Yeah. Geuramtametoba.
