11 Reasons You Should Learn Korean Now

[@storylearning]

Ever wonder just how hard Korean is to learn? 👉🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5ekk4p7iMprorc

[@caroleg6223]

I have been using a few methods to learn Korean over the past few months. I was eager to hear your history of the Korean language. I hoped it could answer one of my questions about Korean. How is there so many english sounding words in Korean? I mean words that sound the same & mean the same thing? Like key, coffee, party. There are so many. When did the languages mingle?

[@p.2104]

As someone who lived in Korea for six years and studied at Yonsei Korean Language Institute (연세한국어학당), I enjoy seeing Korean getting the popularity it deserves!

[@sebastianmartin8665]

Learning korean changed my life. Language learning, in general, did. But learning Korean changed the person I had to be to become someone better. As a result, not only have improved myself and learned korean, but all those hours spent got paid back to me double. Friends, going to korea and having the best friends, constantly learning and opportunities. Amazing language and so much fun!!

It takes only a single afternoon to learn how to read Korean. The Korean alphabet is one of the best, if not the best, alphabets of the world’s languages. Hangul for the win! **chef’s kiss**

[@VieiraFi]

This may be true, but it still counted as among the hardest languages for English speakers to learn, among Japanese, Chinese and Arabic. So the alphabet would likely be least of your problems when learning Korean 😂

[@q9u_9p]

​@@VieiraFiYes 👍

[@dkwtdwbp]

@@VieiraFi But the hard part about korean mostly comes from grammar and pronunciation. Learning how to read hangul and memorizing words is the easier part.

[@VieiraFi]

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

I've been studying Korean for about 3 years and love it. I will say this, in the Korean language learning community, Duolingo is considered a poor resource (it's better for other languages). Also, as of this week, Korea has mostly done away with Korean age so people will not be aging 1 year on New Year's Day after eating Rice Cake Soup 떡국. You probably recorded this before the change.

[@jeffw7382]

"Also, as of this week, Korea has mostly done away with Korean age" doubt this will stick. The gov can pass whatever rules they want. They've been trying for a long time but I don't know a Korean that doesn't use the traditional age system, and I lived in Seoul for a decade. If it's it that prevalent in Seoul, I can only imagine how much more it's held onto outside of the capital.

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

@jeffw7382 you might want to watch the video done by Hyunwoo and Yeji from Talk to Me in Korean where they talk about it and answer questions. There are 4 areas where Korean age is continuing to be used, but mostly it's been stopped. And many Koreans, especially younger ones, are happy.

[@worshipthecomedygodseoeunk4010]

its nice that its easier to learn korean now. im a korean adoptee and in our community, people have struggled for literal decades trying to learn this language because the resources were just, not there. considering that the oldest of us are gone now, its been so long and finally with the rise of hallyu there are more resources than ever. for us, learning it is very important if we want to find/communicate with our birth parents/family because the agencies often lie to our faces if we only speak english taking advantage of our lack of korean skills to hide their collective shame and deception about our birth records. and because there are some of us who lost contact with parents just due to the language barrier.

[@dkwtdwbp]

Art and Media for sure!! Having these makes learning more fun. So I think people are attracted to learning Korean because it's so easy to stay entertained.

[@tabularasa_br]

Olly, a sugestion if I may: do more videos on languages from West Africa, such as Yoruba, Igbo and Wolof. I was learning Igbo awhile ago and I had a blast doing it. It would be great to have you comment on those lesser (at least when compared to popular languages such as French and German) learned languages. 😊

[@suemmusic]

It seems to be the world's number one language in terms of influence per population. There are 70M native speakers, of which 20M are trapped in North Korea, so the actual number of Korean speakers in global society is only 50M. Nevertheless, most manuals, games, and programs support Korean, and there are many people who want to learn it. It is amazing considering how tiny 50M is as a language speaking population.

King Sejong Institute in Madrid, Spain was especially chaotic. I was there 2 years in 2014/15 which brought me a basic A1 level, that I have mostly forgotten. The courses were supposed to be taught in 75 hours each, but the Korean Cultural Centre were only providing 60 per year: a 2-hours class per week in the afternoons (4 PM - no other schedules) during 30 weeks to 20 students. I even had to wait 3 years to be in the chosen 20 ones, because you only had 5 available days to apply. You hardly remembered anything from one week to the next one, since you had no ways to practice the language: there are no native koreans around. Furthermore, I hardly could afford a subway ticket downtown, so having some trip to Seoul was out of the question.
