Korean Sounds in this video:
아이고/아이구 (aigo/aigu) – used for surprises
에이 (ei) – used for when you don’t believe someone
에휴/에유 (ehyu/eyu) – used for slight frustration
츠 (cheu) – used for when something is unfair and you’re a bit upset
헐 (hul) – used for when something is unfair (for teenagers)
캬/크 (kya/keu) – used for drinking something refreshing (usually alcohol)
야~ (ya) – used for when something is unbelievable
Note: Some of these Korean sounds have several meanings. We just gave a few 😉
Which Korean sound is your favorite? 😀

ei, cheu and ya because they have same sounds and meanings in Turkish 🙂
I love this so much! Superb!
The 캬 and 크 were kind of interesting. Keith didn’t really look refreshed in his performance; more like he just drank a really strong alcohol and is trying to clear his throat. xD (Not that is wasn’t good, just strong.) The 캬 makes sense, or at least the 아 part of it does; it’s the same kind of sound an American (and probably many North Americans) would use if they just drank something refreshing.
야~ was my favorite, though. :]
Well the kya/keu sound is pretty much all I’ll need for the first few nights I’m guessing. Thanks for the demo guys!
I like ” 에이” ^^
“야!!!”
This has so much meaning in it, all the frustrations and emotions and context behind its usage, depending on the situation.
you always make me smile
Good job. Really useful.
This is awesome! It is essential i think to know how to “sound” in any language you are learning 😀 thanks Keith its a nice list you got here ^^ I hope we can have more soon!
My favourite I think was 야 sounds so cool so say it ㅋㅋㅋ
This is so 대박 Keith, I love those sounds, when I do them I feel like I’m one step closer to being Korean (must have to do with one of my past lives :D) I just have one wish, can u do another video like this one, maybe 2nd volume 😛
where these sound will be divided to which ones men and which ones women usually use. ^ ^ Love ya
and my fave one was 츠~ x9 수고하셨습니다
Is it really possible to develop a Korean accent for a non-Asian? I think it s very difficult task.
I often use hul and aigoo (even if I’m not in korea)
It’s like an everyday expression between kpop fans here ~ ^^
I’ve always heard 말도안되 but never seen it spelled before. I like the phrases that follow 야~ like 세상에 어떻게 그런 일 있냐? 하고 야~어떻게 그럴 수 있어?
Thanks for these! I’m going to go practice now! \(^.^)/
