A bilingual youtube channels :) (CAMMY)

I just find this funny youtube channels recently.

Hyunwoo Sun ,who is a Korean, is able to speak in English, Japanese and Korean fluently. He was studying English as his major in University. And  He started to write his blog and youtube channel at that time. He just realized that so many people (not only korean ) don't know how to learn English in an effective way. Therefore, he start to tape some video about how to learn english in his youtube channel. Besides, he made a collection called ''Bilingual talk''. That' s what I want to share with u guys!!!

In each video, there will be Hyunwoo and the others speaking 2 language. There will be a subtitle provided at the bottom for the viewers. There's even a video of trilingual talk (English , Japanese and korean).

Besides, Hyunwoo always like to teach people how to learn or speak Korean and Eglish in his video.He also introduces he korean culture to others too!!!
