Hello. Does anyone know who the native speakers in the videos are? I couldn’t find credits anywhere. Thank you!

I don’t think they kept/keep a list. They toured around some time ago (some crowd funding process I believe) and probably picked/asked people at random. There is a young lady who appears in the DE-ES videos and who I’ve seen in some blog posts as well, so there may be some people who are “known” to them, but I suppose that only applies to very few people.

Italian 2 seems to have had some seven (in Rome) who have provided a lot of the clips.
(Very good Italian too.)

They have some acting skills, so I thought they may be from acting agencies or something 
It’s gonna be hard to find them as it seems…

Hi @DamlaArcher
They are local actors and some are professionals and some or random people we ask on the street. Our crew go out there and film with them, it’s a pretty intense but a joyful project I’m glad you like them.

In the korean 1 and 2 courses there is one lady called “Ok Joo-ri”. She is one of the older actresses who is mainly seen with the older guy. You can find her in countless dramas and movies in minor roles. I am always happy when i spot her. I was also keen to know who the rest of the gang is.
I was sad, that from the 3rd korean course onwards, the actors i grew familiar with were replaced by random people. Though it makes sense to hear lots of variations of the language to learn it properly. So i understand, why they changed it.
