Without subtitles, I don't understand it. Korea has many dialects like Gyeongsang-do dialect, Jeolla-do dialect, ChungChong-Do dialect and Jeju-do dialect. I don't speak any variety of Korean.
ReplyDeleteYes, you do! You speak the standard variety of Korean! I speak probably the standard variety of American English too. In my country my way of speaking is considered "normal" and other ways of speaking like a Southern accent or Maine accent are considered "different". However, it's just a choice, if you think about it! We could easily decide that Southern accents and dialect are normal! Anyway, thanks for telling me that information! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't know the meaning of Yorkshire dialect what they say without the standard English subtitle. In Korea, Dialects exist in each province of Korea. Especially, Jeju province dialect is a entirely different language in comparison with other variety of Korean. I only can speak standard Korean Because I am a native of Seoul.
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear some different Korean dialects some time. Maybe I will search on Youtube to try to hear some!
DeleteI understand some of easy sentences such as how are you doing? , see you.
ReplyDeleteIn Korea, there are many dialects. Also, I am native of Ulsan. I use Gyeongsang-do dialect and some of city dialects. When I was with the army, I learned some dialects.
What was the most interesting dialect that you heard in the army?
DeleteMy hometown is Daegu but I was born in Suwon. When I was young I didn't any dialect but I speak Gyenogsang-do's dialect a little. I can speak freely when I meet people who can speak dialect or not.
ReplyDeleteHow is Gyeongsang-do's dialect different from other dialects?
DeleteGyeongsnag-do's dialect is strong accent. If Gyeongsnag-do people say normally, but people who speak the standard language thinks they are upset.
DeleteThat's really interesting!
DeleteUmm..
ReplyDeleteI don't know about England accent but I can listen.
I don't know almost about this accent.
Yes, this is not just an English accent, but a very difficult-to-understand British dialect. Usually I can understand British people very easily, but not this dialect!!!
DeleteSometimes I can't understand listening orginally english. By listening Yorkshire Dialect. I never understand it. So Yorkshire Dialect is harder than originally english.
ReplyDeleteIt is harder for you and me, but I think that for the people who speak it, it's not difficult at all :)
DeleteI speak Gyenogsang-do's dialect ,so my friends sometimes don't understand what i say sometimes. My friends using standard language are exciting about dialect, and they copy what i say.
ReplyDeleteOh really? Why is your Gyeongsang-do dialect different? Do you pronounce some words differently or speak more clearly or less clearly? I'm curious!
DeleteSo can you speak York Shire?
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry Tae Jun, I can't do it! :)

ReplyDeleteI was so curious about english dialect when I read Secret Garden. I think I have heard that accent when watching an American drama, because it does not sound so strange.
ReplyDeleteWow! What drama did you watch which had an accent like this? I am really curious!
