Title: Lost in Translation: My Wild Ride Learning Korean from a Cryptocurrency Influencer

Hey everyone, I'm starting this thread to share my crazy story of trying to learn Korean from a popular crypto influencer who's fluent. I've been following his YouTube channel for a while, and he often talks about Korean culture and shares phrases in his videos. Little did I know, he'd eventually offer a "free" Korean course to his subscribers, which had me sold.

"Dude, I feel you. I tried learning some basic Korean phrases from a crypto Youtuber once and it was a wild ride. I'm pretty sure I ended up learning more about Korean BBQ than actual language skills"

Haha nice thread! I can relate, I've taken language classes online before and it's always weird when your 'native' teacher isn't actually native. But hey, at least you learned some Korean phrases to use on crypto Twitter now.

"Haha, what a wild story, OP. I've seen some sketchy 'language learning' schemes in my time, but this one takes the cake. Did you end up learning anything actual Korean or was it all just a clever marketing ploy?"

"Lol, what a wild story! I'm glad you made it out alive. Anyone else have a similar experience trying to learn a new language from an influencer?"

Anyone experienced with strategies?

"Dude, that's hilarious. I've had my fair share of cringey moments with my language learning journey – had a teacher who was a huge fan of Vitalik's Twitter rants. Did she learn any Korean from me, though?"
