The Worst Misconceptions About Korean Learners | Glass with Billy

Have you ever been asked why you’re learning Korean, or worse – have you ever been told why you’re learning Korean?

I’ve heard so many misconceptions about myself and other Korean learners over the past 14 years of studying, and so has my friend Andy. We talked together about some of the worst misconceptions that we’ve heard toward Korean learners.

Everything from to “you don’t know about 존댓말/반말” to “you’re only learning Korean because you like K-pop” to “you must have learned Korean from your girlfriend” to “you like Korean girls” (Okay I can’t argue with this one).

Have you heard any of these misconceptions, or other ones?
