These days large number of people watch YouTube videos, some for learning something new and others for entertainment. However, I would like to talk about a video that I learned when useful and new things. I remember that 6 months ago I was very addicted to watching YouTube shows and one day it crossed my mind that while I wasn’t learning any foreign language from YouTube, it set up somehow useful useless videos. And at that time I started learning the Chinese language, especially the basic communication skills. The teacher who was teaching Chinese was very passionate and creative. I learned a few words easily with the help of the teacher. Moreover, after learning the basic communication words of the Chinese language, I began learning Korean. The Korean language also seemed easy to me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t learn that language fully. However, I learned the alphabet Hangul. I mean, I can read any Korean words. The reason why I couldn’t learn fully was that my school was started at the time and I was very busy with my school subjects. Overall, learning these two languages, even though it wasn’t fully, brought courage to the words learning Korean languages. And I hope I will continue learning them in the future.
