Fast speed Korean

Fast Korean has many short, joined sounds. The last sound of a word can almost disappear. Small words join with the word before them. Words like 그래서, 근데, 그러니까 come one after another, very fast. Even good students need to slow down or listen again. TV shows make it harder: many people talk at once, and new words like 신조어 appear all the time. English words also get added into Korean, like 스트레스 받아 ('I am stressed'). Talk shows and funny shows are the hardest. Jokes often move between a friend way of talking and a kind way, and need you to know the culture too. First, watch and try to catch the main idea. Then watch small parts again. Slow the video down if you can, and write down words you did not catch. At this level, you do not need every word. You just need to hear which sound is the action word.
