Youtube in Korean – Learning the language through videos
YouTube truly has something for everyone. That means you can utilize Youtube in Korean studies too. There are plenty of Korean learners who actually learned through videos on this site!
There are thousands of videos to watch on YouTube. There are free workout and wellness videos for those interested in exercising and living a healthy lifestyle, music videos from your favorite musicians, and even movies for rent. There are cute animal videos and vlogs from daily lives to make up routines. And now this website can even be a tool for language learning!
How to say “YouTube” in KoreanThe Korean word for YouTube is 유튜브 (yutyubeu). So basically, the way to say it is the same as everywhere else in the world, just with Korean-style pronunciation. Below are some more words and phrases related to YouTube that may interest you!
Korean words related to Youtube: KoreanEnglish 비디오 (bidio)Video 동영상 (dongyeongsang)Video 채널 (chaeneol)Channel 인플루언서 (inpeullueonseo)Influencer 콘텐츠 제작자 (kontencheu jejakja)Content creator 브이로그 (beuilogeu)Vlog 유튜버 (yutyubeo)YouTuber 광고 (gwanggo)Ad 캡션 (kaepsyeon)Captions 자막 (jamak)Subtitles 낚시성 (nakksiseong)Clickbait 콜랍 (kollap)Collab 유급 후원금 (yugeup huwongeum)Paid sponsorship 공동체 (gongdongche)Community 유행화 (yuhaenghwa)Trending 섬네일 (seomneil)Thumbnail 언박싱 (eonbaksing)Unboxing 논평 (nonpyeong)Review (of movies, books, etc.) 리뷰Review 먹방 (meokbang)Mukbang 바이러스성 (baireoseuseong)Viral Korean phrases related to Youtube: KoreanEnglish 난 유튜브를 보고 있어요.(nan yutyubeureul bogo isseoyo.)I am watching YouTube. 제일 좋아하는 유튜브채널은 뭐예요?

How can you use YouTube to learn Korean?
If you’re new to learning Korean with videos, here are some helpful tips for you.
Don’t forget to subscribeWhichever 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 videosDo 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 tooRemember 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 captionsTake 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 sectionThe 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!
Youtube channels for learning KoreanYou can use this platform to learn different things and the Korean language is one of them! Here are some channels that can help you.
90 Day Korean Youtube channelOur very own 90DayKorean channel is filled with interesting and important information on vocabulary and grammar patterns, taught to you in a detailed but quick fashion. Different topics and sections are presented as short clips, which will help you know things like how to say Korean words, helpful phrases, asking for someone’s name, and more about Korea and its language.
Other Korean learning channels on YoutubeIn addition to the 90 Day Korean channel, here are more great resources for Korean learning on this platform include the following:
- Korean Unnie 한국언니 – She makes educational content on the Korean language, but also a lot of other types of fun clips, including interviews with K-pop groups like KARD and SEVENTEEN.
- seemile Korean 씨마일 한국어 – Here, watching each video is almost like you were sitting in a Korean language class for real.
- Learn Korean with Kind Ms Kim – An especially helpful channel for preparing to take the TOPIK exam!
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.
What are some of the most popular Korean YouTube channels?Whether you want to support your Korean language learning or simply want to enjoy some clips for fun, following some popular and creative Korean channels will be the best of both worlds. Below we’ve listed a number of YouTubers popular in Korea right now.
Boram Tube Vlog – a vlog featuring small clips of a cute little girl’s everyday life
DONA – a mukbang channel
JFlaMusic – known for her covers of popular songs, both in English and in Korean
Jane ASMR – not a whole lot of talking happens here, but it may be interesting if you want to experience more of ASMR
With Kids – concentrates around a kid building toys together with his dad
SeoeunStory – a kid taking the lead doing a bunch of different things, this time together with her mother
PONY Syndrome – an internationally famous beauty influencer
Hamzy – perhaps one of the most popular mukbang channels
Waveya 2011 – a channel full of stylish dance videos by a dance team of two sisters
Kittisaurus – if you want to enjoy plenty of cute cats clips, then this is a great one
Wassup Man – offers various videos, from daily vlogs to specific activities, and is perhaps one of the best YouTubers on this list that people watch when it comes to practicing Korean listening skills simultaneously
Which types of Korea-related videos do you like to watch on YouTube, if any? What is your favorite channel to follow, and were the ones on our list already familiar to you? Do you also have subscribers and viewers? I hope watching some videos on YouTube will also help you learn some more Korean – let us know in the comments if that is the case!

Learning Korean comes in different methods. One of them is through a Korean children’s book.

Instead, she tells the class that she will choose a name by the following week. Fascinated by the kid with no name, her friends decided to help out by filling a glass jar with names for her to pick from.
However, the name jar had mysteriously disappeared when she was supposed to choose a name. With the encouragement of her new friends, Unhei decided to stick to her Korean name and helped everyone pronounce it, just like “Yoon-Hey.”

Why you should learn Korean with Korean children’s booksAs much as we may hope for it, none of us can completely learn the Korean language overnight. And though you may consume a lot of Korean movies, dramas, and music, sometimes you may feel discouraged by how little of it you actually understand. Books for young kids all over the world are designed to be simple and easy to understand. The same goes for Korean children’s books which are made for Korean children.
By reading and learning through children’s books, you can also familiarize yourself with South Korea. Specifically the Korean culture, Korean families, Korean celebrations, and food through different fun stories. These are often presented as graphic novels through a picture book too.
You can actually make surprisingly big leaps in your Korean skills simply by reading a book. Yes, even if it’s a very simple picture book. Not just in learning vocabulary and grammar structure, but in increased motivation to keep studying. So why not start reading simple Korean books for children right away while you’re learning Korean!
Which book do you think you’ll read first? What was the last book you’ve read? Do you have your list of favorite books too? Let us know in the comments! These are some topics you can talk to your Korean friends about, too! If you want to support your Korean language studies with some textbooks specifically for learning Korean, here’s a great list!

Free Right Now, Experienced Native English Teacher
Hi everyone, just a short note to say that I am now available immediately.
As a result of our office closing recently due to a shortage of students, I am now seeking a new position. Ideally I would like to return to the Changwon/Masan/Busan area. My current E2 visa expiry date is in April 2022.
I have been living and working in South Korea since 2003 and have worked in a wide range of situations (public and private) since first arriving here. This has included working twice with the military, as well as public elementary schools and private institutions such as YBM Premier and Jung Chul, and I have lived in many different areas around the country. This has also included a number of years as a TESOL teacher trainer (my latest position).
Until recently, I had been teaching adults, although a lot of my experience has also included public schools and hagwons. Please note that I do not have kindergarten experience.
As part of my duties, I have been responsible for planning whole syllabi and the lessons contained therein, and this experience also includes planning and executing whole summer and winter camps in both the private and public sectors. More recently, due to the Covid situation, I have transitioned from purely classroom-based instruction to also running online classes using Zoom.
Please contact me through this web site in the first instance if you would like more information about myself (including a resume), or to discuss any opening that you may have.
Andrew :)
