Learning a new Hanja character is like adding a new brick to build your own castle of Korean vocabulary. ✨

[@rashmijaiswal6396]

As we need to learn little Sanskrit make it easier to know Hindi. In the same way we need to learn a little Hanja to know Korean well. 🙃🙃🙃

[@supechube_k]

also like how you need to know some french and latin to learn english

I'm studying Korean since 3 Years... I didn't know this👁👄👁 I heard from Hanja but I didn't know that it's still used and there are books for foreigners to learn it 😱

[@jasminee204]

You'll only see hanja actually being used in some newspapers and other formal resources. However, hanja can be useful to learn as a lot of Korean words are derived from Chinese characters. I don't think it's a priority though, and often just being aware of this can help - if you see lots of words that are similar in meaning (like with the 인 example, 인간, 노인, 인생, etc.) then you can often deduce the meaning of that character.

It's interesting to know that written vocabulary in this book, are almost Japanese. I thought this book is Japanese language textbook? Or I suppose Koreans banned Hanja because of Anti-Japanese Koreans want independent culturally from Japanese influence.

[@zyrob3435]

Wow...as a native Chinese speaker, I suddenly realised I found a new way to memorise korean vocab! So I just need to memorise the Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters I already know and I will know a whole bunch of words in Korean? Edit: I actually bought the book and started learning the korean pronunciation of hanja characters. It was really interesting, I learnt many Korean words just scanning through the book. And yes I can read traditional chinese (like enough to read a book written using them), so it wasn't a problem reading the hanja.

hanja are traditional characters ;) but youre basically right

Omg I am so grateful that I am a Chinese in Malaysia, so I know Chinese well. Guys, I really think that if u dunno chinese at all, u should go and study the basic characters in chinese like 人 (person, human) ，食 (food, eat) ，生 (life, live). I found that the more hanja characters you know, the easier for you to enrich your korean vocab. If u know other dialects in Chinese (Hokkien, Cantonese...) these will definitely help too (in terms of listening) ! So, dun feel intimidated by the hanja characters, the basic ones are quite easy to learn and memorize, so everyone, keep it up !!! And.. as always, thank you Yeji 선생님! 💓

[@sunshined3274]

omg same chinese in malaysia here

[@Taradays]

Same here I struggled with learning Korean vocab before learning Chinese including radicals of course. Now it's much easier to find the hanja equivalents. As a visionary learner these vocab connections are so important. Also the morphology (make up of the words) logically can be see more when you know a Chinese origin dialect/language. Like for example I haven't studied Chinese in a while but in Chinese you get a big word for example like "heart-attack" and instead of the English meaning where your heart is being attacked it will be like too-fast-heart-beat or something (doubt this is the case) but Korean has some origin words that work like that with both native roots and sino roots.

I acquired the book last year but was overwhelmed by the content and thought maybe I don’t need it. However, I would keep getting stuck on words wondering why they are written or used a certain way, then wouldn’t remember them. Learning Hanja gives your mind something to associate each word with and so it becomes easier to remember, recognize and understand when used in different contexts. The video helped me overcome the sudden stress produced by the thought, “Why am I learning Chinese to learn Korean?” I will try it again knowing that it will have great value in my learning journey. Thank you again TTMIK. You make it almost too easy.

[@kratikasingh3930]

Yup, It will be helpful

[@josueetcom]

It's helpful for building up vocab. Though no need to study it aggressively. If you notice the same syllable used in multiple related words though, that might indicate that the Hanja character is the same so learning it might help with other related words! E.g. 학교 and 학생 both have 학 and have to do with education/learning/studying so you might guess the Hanja characters are the same (they are) and then when you see 학 in new words try to use that to figure out its meaning. E.g. 언어학 = language + study?? (Yep! It's linguistics!)

I can't believe my chinese class is gonna be useful...

[@kiwifruitkl]

HAHAHA... many of these Hanja-based words in Korean are also used in modern written Chinese. My speculation is that, in the early modern era or maybe the fall of the imperial era in East Asia, the use of Classical Chinese was very widespread. In fact, the Japanese continued to write in Classical Chinese up until the mid-20th century, when they started to go completely vernacular. While ancient Classical Chinese was strictly monosyllabic, more recent Classical Chinese included disyllabic/multisyllabic words, and these words and the widespread use of Classical Chinese may explain the permeation into the regional vernaculars.

[@sr.liam17]

Is Hanja one syllable per character and one sound per character with some having just 2 or 3 like in Chinese, or do characters usually have like 4-7 like some Japanese Kanji?

[@firstnamelastname6071]

The former.

[@faustinuskaryadi6610]

Because Japanese use Kanji also for polysyllabic native Japanese words aka Yamato Kotoba, while Korean use Hanja only for monosyllabic Chinese loanwords.
