Jiwon: I have a question about that word at the beginning of Korean 4 (at the 0:14 mark) that sounds kinda like "krizzo." I've heard that numerous times in several Korean videos and am curious exactly what that word is. I've always assumed it was a shortened pronunciation of "그러세요" but haven't been able to confirm if this is true or if it is another word completely.

Em, it's 그래서, meaning "Therefore/so/hence" and definitely not a shortened form of 그러세요. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ahhh...it didn't occur to me that that sound was an "ae" (ㅐ) vowel. I guess that explains why I didn't have any luck looking up that word in the dictionary before. Thanks. :)
(By the way, the main reason I even considered the possibility that it was a shortened pronunciation of another word was due to some of the versions of 안녕하세요 I've heard pronounced that are so compressed they honestly sound like a completely different phrase.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oh man we just covered 수능 all last week. I'm tired of hearing about it at this point. :P
Anyway most of the times when I couldn't understand you were caused by the background noise from the camera and the low quality pick-up because it's a webcam. You talk SLIGHTLY slower than one of my teachers. Maybe I should upload a video of me speaking in English for a bit and you can hear what 8+ words a second sounds like outside of rap songs. Any particular topic you would want me to discuss?

qklilx: Close...maybe a little longer, but not much. Something like 아녀세요 said quickly enough so it sounds (to an English ear, at least) more like "an-nazz-ee-a" instead. When I go back and listen to it now, though, I can pick out all the extra syllables, so they are actually there just greatly compressed.
The confusion was mostly that other native speakers I'd heard say that (in a variety of media sources) weren't saying it nearly that fast. Later, when I heard someone else say that phrase faster than normal, but still just slow enough that I actually understood it, it finally bridged the gap in my mind to link the two phrases as the same. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wow this was late. I made a video. It's a bit long and dragging though. As I mentioned in the video info, in conversation I usually talk faster and I enunciate better, and have fewer slip-ups and fillers. Talking to the camera is tough.
I talked mostly about my study method for Korean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf59M_vT040 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes. Talking to the webcam all by yourself is REALLY tough. Imagine trying to do it unscripted all the time. ;) No wonder my speech gets slower and slower. Plus, the Korean classes I've been taking have really slowed down my speaking speed so that I can be understood by other people. You DO speak really fast, but I could understand everything without much pain. :P Maybe I'm too used to Vicky Pollard and Marjorie Dawes on Little Britain. XD I like your reasoning about native-target language word lists, maybe I should try it out for learning German expressions. That way it will be much easier for me to produce those expressions. 1 person has voted this message useful |
