For me, yes. I can learn even simple conversation like anyeonghaseyo... anyeong hasimnikka... mianhamnida... etc.
I think i learn many words here, the informal and formal language. Sometimes, i can understand what the actors and actress talking without its subtitle... Thats happened when i watch japanese drama and taiwanese drama. I learned a lot how to pronounce the words!!! hehehe...

It seems that you are very interested in Korean series. That's great that you can learn some Korean from it. Learning is always a good thing. I am not interested in watching Korean series. I like English programs much more.


myLot reputation of 92/100. manya_pearl (1435)   ranked 1 out of 5 in korea  4 years ago

What kind of english programs do you enjoy? I do really like american tv shows like greys anatomy, justice, smallville, house md, ugly betty, and many american movies (i cant enumerate them all... too much to write!) ahahah...
i do enjoy some taiwanese and japanese series, not only korean. I learned also many words for taiwanese and japanese. youless, are you chinese or taiwanese?

That is neat. How did you actually learn the words and know what they meant though? I only know English and I cannot figure out what any other language means. My husband can speak some other languages though because he spent 17 years in the Army and traeled to other countries.

I know a few Korean words that I learned from my Korean students in the past and while watching their dramas, I get a confirmation that what they taught me was correct. There are also words that you will learn by referring to the English subtitles alone and you get to memorize them by repeated hearing.


myLot reputation of 92/100. manya_pearl (1435)   ranked 1 out of 5 in korea  4 years ago

wah, so you are a teacher? what subject you teach them? yeah, i am really agree that to learn foreign languages need memorizing, repeating, and practicing. Its the same way i learn my filipino subject. Its difficult, since im not a filipino, but i really wanna learn it, just like what im doing for languages like japanese, korean, and taiwanese. i do watch some filipino movies. I really like movie close to you and dubai. i like the actor there, if im not wrong, john lloyd. nice movies.

I'm majoring in Korean, and we learn Korean by movies and drama.
Well.it's a good way to learn Korean in this way, as you can comunicate with Korean people in a short time, but if you want master the language, you have to learn more, for example,read some books.Because the words in the drama are so limited.
Of course you dom't have to do this,,but for me I have no choice.


myLot reputation of 92/100. manya_pearl (1435)   ranked 1 out of 5 in korea  4 years ago

major in korean? hmm... i'm curious, why did you choose that course? is it difficult? I wanna learn other languages but never think to take any particular language for my course...

i also want to learn korean from korean drama!!!!!!! but the thing is all the dramas have been translated to chinese which i understand. i can't learn anything! this is so sad and making me angry sometimes.


myLot reputation of 92/100. manya_pearl (1435)   ranked 1 out of 5 in korea  4 years ago

in the city i live, there are many korean, japanese, and taiwanese drama sale, and its always has subtitle in english and you can choose what language is used in that drama (mandarin, korean, or japanese) so i can still learn from it. I have site where i can watch those asian dramas and movies free.

i find korean very hard to learn that's why i just study japanese because i love j-dramas,,, but i really love korean drama too like kim sam soon and full house...


myLot reputation of 92/100. manya_pearl (1435)   ranked 1 out of 5 in korea  4 years ago

wah, full house is one of my favorite dramas. yeah, rain was so cute and handsome here, and song hye kyo also beautiful actress. i really love this drama, and i even download its ost with korean lyrics. I found its really really difficult because the pronunciation in korean romanization also difficult to read.
Have you seen any korean romanization lyrics? Its not in korean letters, but in alphabet abcd.
At first, i never stop to laugh, because the lyrics sounds so weird. but when i know already how to read it without feeling weird, just learn other languages, i found its not that difficult anymore. I even can sing some korean songs like tvxq and super junior songs and memorize some ost korean movies and dramas. Hahha...
i already learn many words. Thats also the same for taiwanese and japanese... the more i watch the drama and movies, i can learn how to distinguish their accents- korean accents is like singing with variety tones, japanese for me is like whispering and the tone sounds straight, taiwanese is sounds loud and a little rough...

my fave japanese dramas are hana yori dango, boku dake no madonna~~hideaki takizawa, gokusen, and aizawa.

have a nice day!

I watch so much of j-drama and k-drama but still only learn a little. I can understand a word or two. But when they start to speak rapidly and fast, they lost me. :D But I do learn alot from watching Mandarin and English movies. I pretty much can watch both type of movies without any subtitle.
