Can KOREANS Actually Read CHINESE Characters? | HANJA Interview (한자)

I asked Koreans to guess the meanings of several Hanja (Chinese character) and was surprised by what they guessed. Do you know any of these characters? Can you read any of the idioms? Let me know here, or in the comments of the video!

What should I ask Koreans next?

    Korean language is consisted of more than 70 percent Hanja. When the Korean language was invented, the base of the Korean language was
    Hanja(Chinese letters). Each Hanja letter has a meaning, so Koreans used the meaning of Hanja.
    I think Hanja is very important to know. But these
    days specially young guys don’t like Hanja.

  • Dear Billy, I know this doesn’t really have to do with the video but, I had a couple of questions. Do you know any language exchange cafes near LA or ways to find Korean friends. Because as for me I don’t have any Korean people to talk to so I don’t get much practice. So if you have any suggestions please let me know. 감사합니다!
