Today, I have a very special guest.
I am very happy (interviewing him).
His name is Billy.
His Korean name is Li Chengzai?
– Lee Sung Jae.
– Lee Sung Jae.
He has his own YouTube channel, Korean Billy.
So can you tell me what you did?
– Okay.
So, the name of my channel is literally just my name.
I usually make a video about British dialect
And British accent, because I am fascinated
For British English.
So, yes, that’s what I’ve been mainly doing recently.
– Billy has received a lot of media attention
I mean, you have been interviewed by the BBC.
– Yeah, BBC and ITV.
– ITV?
– Yeah, there are actually quite a lot of newspapers and TV shows.
– So, I left a link in the description box
To Billy’s channel, you can go to his channel and see
There’s a funny video of him there
Talk about weird British accents
I mean, we already have a Liverpool accent.
Have you done Bristol’s video?
– Bristol. Jodi.
– Jody.
– Manchester accent.
– Ok
– Yeah, one of Wales.
Glasgow.
In fact, it is quite a few
– How did you become so interested in English dialects?
– Well, two years ago I went to Preston, Lancashire.
Learn as an exchange student
When I was a college student.
When I live there, I can meet some classmates
Speaking of the Liverpool dialect, they come from Liverpool and Manchester.
So I was just shocked by their accent,
Because I didn’t know English dialects before
I didn’t know any other kind of accent before I went there.
This is so shocking, but it’s fun.
So I’m so interested in English dialect
This is how I really started to learn more
About British dialects.
– So, you learn English at university?
– Ok
– In which city?
– the University?
– Yes.
– in England?
– in Korea.
– in Korea.
I was studying in Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
– Well, they teach pronunciation
Or a standard British accent?
– Well, mainly in Korea, most Korean schools
Just teach American English.
– of course.
– And, yes, there are not many learning materials
Learn English English.
And for most materials and reference books
Both taught pronunciation and British English
– Oh yes.
– Very, very basic.
So yes, I can only learn one standard
But there is no information about British dialects.
So that’s why I was shocked at the time.
– So, when you go to learn a dialect, how do you do it?
Because, what I mean is that you can read things on the internet,
And listen, but you speak with a real Liverpool accent.
When you want to do it.
How do you do this?
– Well, for Liverpool accents, good
Because I have many Liverpool friends and classmates.
Yes, they are happy to teach me.
I want to learn their language and their accent.
So, I learned some accents from them.
At first, I asked my friend,
But for different dialects,
My classmates do not come from all accent areas, so
I actually did a lot of research.
Like, I can go to YouTube to watch a lot of video
And watch different accents.
Look at people with different accents.
So, yes, I watched a lot of videos,
With some British TV shows and movies,
Filmed in some areas.
– Oh, this is a good tip, yes.
So if you want to get a specific accent,
Then you can see…
I mean, what advice do you have?
I want you to say bloody gangsters
In Birmingham, Brummie accent.
– Yes.
– What advice do you have for Liverpool accents?
– Liverpool accent…
Okay, there is a very popular TV show
In Korea, there is also called skin.
This is taken in Bristol, right?
– Yes Yes.
– So, I can learn some Bristolian accents when I can look at the skin.
Yes, what is that?
What I remember is…
I also look at IT guys.
– IT madman!
– There is an Irishman.
– Yes! Yes.
– So, I listened to him carefully, I just
Want to know some, you know, from his Irish accent.
This is very interesting.
– Can you imitate an Irish accent?
– Like, hello, IT, you tried
Is it closed and reopened?
like this.
– This is a very interesting show.
– Yes.
– So I want to ask you a little
About your YouTube channel.
– Ok
– Because of what made you start to create your channel?
And when did you start?
– So, I actually started my YouTube channel
After graduation.
After graduation, I just want to find a job.
Yes, as usual, so I apply for some companies,
I actually want to be a broadcaster
Or radio reporter, because I’m very interested
In the news industry and broadcasting
So yes, but it is not.
So I thought I could do my own broadcast,
Create my own radio station.
So, yes, this is how I started my YouTube channel.
I started my own radio program as an announcer.
This is why I started.
– Amazing, it will be very good.
– so so.
– really good.
One or two things I noticed are how to plan carefully and carefully,
And elaborate your video.
This is, I mean, you will not believe
The time it takes to make a video
So, from the beginning to the end, it will take much time
Are you putting in your accent video?
– Well, it depends. Because some accents are
It’s hard for me, there are some accents
It is easy for me to learn
– Which of you will say easier and which will be more difficult?
– Just like the accent in North England.
Northern England accent is very easy,
Because I am more familiar with the northern accent.
– Yes.
– So, you know Gini and Liverpool, Manchester,
They are relatively easy for me.
But like the accents of Glasgow and Edinburgh,
I feel confused.
– Yeah, I mean, they have got very different vowels.
– Yes, it is also one of Ireland.
So it takes about a month at most –
– One month? Oh my God.
– “Because it is like learning a new language.
– Yeah, yes, I can’t imagine.
– I have to achieve a certain level of fluency
Pretend and say the sentence in the example.
So, for the longest, it takes a long time,
But usually it takes only a week or two?
In order to get it copied.
– This is a great dedication
But it shows because the film is of such high quality.
– Yes.
– When did you start seeing your channel grow
With the attention of the media coming?
– So this is in April.
I made a video about the accent in the London area.
And Liverpool accent, say like chicken
Similar pronunciation (declaration of “chicken” and Liverpool accent)
In Liverpool like this.
(Words in different accents)
In this video, I also teach others
Teaching people to stop the glottis.
Like water, water.
This is really funny.
And, just suddenly, yeah, I got some attention
From the media.
I do not know why.
This is very interesting to me. “Because I didn’t think about it.
– I think for us it’s just fascinating to see someone
Another side from all over the world
Bring this interest to our little dialect
– Yes.
– I noticed such a thing, you have done a lot
Interview with local news programs,
And this is because I think we feel very flattered that someone
We are interested in our accent from South Korea.
So, I want to ask you about your secrets
Learn English and speak English fluently.
When you speak, do you want to be in Korean?
– Well, it depends on the situation.
There are some expressions
Only English is correct,
Because Korean and English do not translate perfectly.
So sometimes, in some cases, I think in English.
Say it in English
But in some cases, I have to think in Korean
Then try to find the description
It happens to translate into English.
In fact it scores
But I just want to think in English.
And just thinking, you know, used to it
Just say it, you know, in English,
According to the situation, and according to my feelings.
– So, my subscribers
Want to speak in a British accent.
What secrets do you have for them to share?
In order to improve their pronunciation.
– Well, I generally do about
Different kinds of British English videos,
But I think it’s important to learn basic
Learn the foundation of British English
So learning standard English is very important,
So I also spent a lot of time learning standard English.
British English, so yes.
I started learning English English correctly
When I was a high school student.
At the time, I just saw a lot
British television show.
The doctor was very popular at the time.
– Yes!
David-Tennett, who is the doctor.
– Oh, he is the best one, is it?
– So, I see who the doctor is, and, yes,
Many different TV shows and British movies
Very popular in South Korea, and,
So I watched a lot of TV shows and British movies.
I can’t help it. You know, I can’t avoid it.
With just learning materials like books, so
– What do you recommend to my subscribers?
– Yeah, so I would say that there is a book I have read
Grammar is in use, you know?
– Yes, I mean it is recommended in all my videos below
– I brought these books with me.
– Oh, these are the ones you used?
– Yeah, these books were used by me.
So they are like my baby, yes.
– Can I touch them?
(laugh)
– This is a medium level.
– Yeah, this book I always recommend to me
This is what London teaches students.
I think this is more modern, though.
I have an older version.
– Yes.
– So where did you start?
– This is for beginners.
– Ok
– I started with this one,
I transferred to that blue one,
That is the advanced one.
It is also very difficult for me
Even now.
– I think it’s actually very difficult for me.
– Yes, it’s hard for me.
But I have the same, I completed all three books.
– Ok.
– Yeah, so, yes, this is very good.
It really helped me.
– We have to cross understand that
If you want to speak fluent English,
It’s not just pronunciation,
You must also take the time to do a good job of grammar.
– Grammar, right.
Because this is based on English, right?
– Great!
