Jiwon, this is very good! Sure, you will improve the fluency and accent when you spend some time with Germans, but you seem to be able to freely express yourself in an intelligible way. I think there must be great commercial opportunities to mediate between those two industrial superpowers, Korea and Germany. There cannot be so many Koreans that speak Germans as well as you do. Well done! Perhaps you could locate a German club in Korea, I know they have one for instance in Osaka (Japan) so perhaps there is one in Seoul?
PS I moved the thread where it belongs - this is not a General Room topic. Forgive me please.

Thank you administrator, for your encouraging words. I've done my research and there seems to be a German club located in Seoul, but I don't plan to make myself a regular member there until I come back to Seoul in March.
Actually, there ARE some German speaking Koreans, although they are quite rare. I really hope to take my German to fluency, so I could be a lot more competitive in the job market - plus enjoy everything this language has to offer (so amazing!).
Edit: I've changed the name of this thread to better reflect it.

I've also started making Korean videos, and although I posted it on my German log I think it would be more appropriate to post here. So here it goes:

Enjoy! :)

This is my third German video. Apologies for the buzzing sound in the background and the fact that my voice seems to fade out after the first few minutes. I also think this was the lousiest video I've made so far, and especially towards the end I think my speaking ability completely collapsed down.

As usual, any comments are welcome.

I made two new clips. One is in Korean, the other in German.
한국어 2 (Second Korean Video)
- This one is just a bit of random babbling.
Der erste Vollmond
- In this one, I'm reading an essay that I once posted on my log. I hope it's interesting enough to listen to.
Comments are appreciated as usual. :) The more and the detailed, the better.
PS - Will many people be interested if I make something like an audio blog in Korean? I'm not asking this for German as I WILL upload German videos no matter what, but making Korean ones are entirely for the other learners. Just want to make sure that I don't end up making something nobody listens to... :)

Whoever you are talking about in that Korean video sounds like one really cool dude!
You know I will listen to all of the Korean ones, but I have plenty to listen to even if you don't make them, so don't do it for my sake.

Yes, indeed, a very amazing person. ;-)
Alright. I'll just make some from time to time. It doesn't take me that much time to make one anyway, considering Korean is my native language. :)

I take a great interest in your Korean language youtube videos. You speak slightly faster than I am used to hearing so it is great to listen to.

"Oops, I did it again.."
Made two new videos, this time with faces! After freaking out as my lips and voices were not alligned together, and a lot of time spent trying to figure out technical details and being frustrated, I finally managed to uplaod two decent videos.

한국어 3 (독일어... Why?)
- comment about the Korean: I think I speak a bit faster this time, but nowhere as fast as my normal speaking speed (but I'm pretty fast even for Koreans.. one day I'll upload one where I speak in my "normal speed").
