How to Learn the Korean Languange

The Korean language is spoken by over 78 million people. Mainly spoken in both North and South Korea, the language is used in parts of Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Japan and the United States. Learning the Korean language is a difficult proposition for Western citizens--primarily because the sounds of the language and symbols comprising its grammar are so dissimilar to English. Although it is tough, it is not impossible. Practice your Korean every day to master this language.

      Learn Japanese or Chinese prior to studying Korean. The Korean language--in many ways--duplicates the rules of Japanese and nearly two-thirds of the Korean vocabulary is identical to Chinese.
