How to learn Korean. Ways of learning a language. The best way to learn Korean
My first acquaintance with the Korean language took place almost 8 years ago, when my son Grisha entered the Oriental Department of the Faculty of International Relations at Belarusian State University and he got the Korean language. I remember well how I tried to help him remember the words. He wrote in Korean, I dictated in Russian. All the words were like hedgehogs, prickly and alien...
Only with time did we learn that in ancient times the Koreans did not have a written language and were forced to use Chinese characters to record the sounds of their native speech, which was inaccessible to most ordinary people. That is why in 1446, King Sejong, who ruled the state of Joseon, invented the Korean alphabet, which was originally called "Hunmin jongum" (Instruction to the people on the correct pronunciation).
In October 1997, the book "Hongmin jongum harebong" (Hongmin jongum interpretation), which explained the purpose of creating the Hangul script, the meaning of words and the rules for their recording, was included in the UNESCO World Memory Register. In honor of this invention in the education system, UNESCO annually awards two King Sejong Prizes. The prizes are funded by the Government of the Republic of Korea and are awarded to educational programs and projects.
More than five centuries have passed since the creation of "Hangul", but only relatively recently, contemporary artists and designers of various directions have begun to consider the possibility of using its potential as the leitmotif of their works.

As for me, I can say that I became interested in Korea, its people and language only after Grisha brought home the Korean drama "Prince's First Cafe" in his second year. I accidentally looked in, passing by the computer and ... stayed until the end of the viewing. Sixteen days and sixteen episodes. She begged Grisha to translate at least something, but he said that he himself knew little. Therefore, I looked at how paintings are looked at and ... fell in love with the sincerity emanating from the screen. The story left a mark on my soul. Time passed and two years later Grisha got subtitles for this drama especially for me. It was a holiday!!! Day after day, my passion for Korean cinema led to a state of falling in love with the Korean language. I discovered the beauty of this language, but the desire to start learning it did not arise.
About a year ago, when I was visiting my son in Seoul, Grisha once said to me: “Mom, it’s time for you to start learning Korean! There are museums where you can only go by bus. But I can’t let you go alone, but I work If you just learn to read, I can let you go on the bus as well." Setting a mini-task at the beginning is his way of encouraging me to start something new. And it works! But, to be honest, the point has already come when I wanted to go beyond 감사합니다 ( "thank you") I easily agreed and we agreed to go the next day to buy me a textbook.
We immediately went to this display to find exactly the textbook that is considered one of the best for foreigners. And when we found what we were looking for, on the check that we printed out, there was all the necessary information: the sector in which the textbook is located and the route to it.
The author of the textbook smiled temptingly at me (or maybe not the author, but then I thought so), pointing with her finger at the title, saying that learning Korean is easy! I am happy to bring it home. Opened and found information about the author:
And here I finally realized: in this textbook, everything is explained in English. But I have been learning English on my own from scratch for only two years, before that I studied German for many years, first at school and university, and then at the Goete-Institute. Grisha reassured me and offered to start exercising immediately, although it was past midnight. And it was good! The first lesson with a teacher like Grisha saved me from fear. He was right! The textbook suggests learning by playing. The exercises are varied. EVERYONE has an audio recording. I did the exercises, but there was no feeling that I was learning. Grammar is not overloaded. The rules are shown in examples highlighted in font and color. And, of course, it is worth noting the design of the publication, which helps to immerse yourself in the elements of the language and learn with pleasure, as it probably happens only in the early period of childhood.
A few days later I returned to Minsk and postponed the study of the Korean language, it just so happened. I learned a little alphabet and my enthusiasm faded.
The hour has struck only with the advent of our familyin the month of FebruaryJuho (주호), a student from Busan who came to gain experience at the Korean company "KOTRA".
- Then all the words written here. I got excited and, turning the package over, began to read everything that was written in small print. Accidentally discovering in such a way that I already stumble much less, from there I took into the dictionary, as it turned out later, several new words that were important to me. And it was this experience of yesterday that helped me once again make sure that a great mood is the main key to success! In such an unexpected way, I replenished my vocabulary with 25 new words, but at the same time I was not pierced by the thought "Oh, study again! When will this be over and it will be possible to rest?"
- Mistakes. They accompany me, there's nothing to be done. One of the most common is that I always try to make one of the syllables stressed, and the peculiarity of the Korean language is that all syllables are equally stressed. And only when I ask do I highlight the last syllable. When Grisha told me about it, I also started to pay attention to it when listening and learn how to pronounce it correctly. But for now, this is not easy for me to do.
- What else do I do to make my habit of learning Korean more stable, so that words are remembered more easily and so as not to lose heart? I include Korean expressions in my Facebook friends' birthday greetings and send them voice messages. I use some of them at work when I suggest something to colleagues or thank them. But most of the time I say them to Juho. Thanks to him, some of them have become a part of me. In other words, I use them wherever possible. But in Belarus, unfortunately, there are not many opportunities to speak in Korean.
- And one more thing I want to talk about. Juho once told me that the Korean education system is different from ours. When learning a foreign language, the emphasis is on building a powerful vocabulary. And he added that he learned 30,000 English words at school. I was surprised how it is possible to know the number so accurately, but he said that in the Republic of Korea, a dictionary of English words was specially created and published for schoolchildren, which they must learn. And he learned them, it's true. From any area, no matter what word I say, he will immediately tell me what it means. I observe the same picture every day regarding the Russian language. He knows just an incredible amount of Russian words. I asked him if words really matter? He replied that thirty percent, yes. And these observations also help me, at least for the time being, not to lose motivation. But, the main thing I would like to say at the moment is that you should never be afraid to start learning a foreign language, on the contrary, you should use this chance. Language is part of the culture of a people. Therefore, it helps us to enrich our internal culture and expand our understanding of the world as a whole, as well as of an individual people, as part of it.
Living in the Far East, we were the first to feel the demand and relevance of knowledge of oriental languages. Today, it is much less common to find a student who chooses to study German than, say, Chinese.
In fact, there are a lot of languages that are generically called "Eastern" in the world. These are the languages of Central Asia - Tajik, Turkic, Kazakh, Tatar, and the Arabic group - Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, Persian, and the languages \u200b\u200bof South and Southeast Asia - Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Filipino and others. But, of course, most often the inhabitants of the Far East choose to study one of the top three - Korean, Japanese or Chinese.
Why Korean?
Today we will talk about a language that is not in the greatest demand, but is stable - this is the Korean language. A trip to Korea today has become easier than to the same China (we do not take into account the border one) - tickets cost a penny, a visa is not needed, foreigners are treated peacefully there, the food is tasty, and there is always something to do. Many Russians cooperate with Koreans in business, medicine, choose Korean educational institutions or emigrate.
If you are thinking of linking your life with South Korea in one way or another, you probably have a natural question - is it difficult to learn Korean? Let us turn to the difficulties that may await you along the way.
Difficulties in Korean
The first is pronunciation. Many mistakenly think that since the language does not have tones, like in Chinese, then it is easy to speak it. In fact, less than half of Korean sounds have analogues in Russian. That is, you actually have to learn to pronounce sounds that your speech apparatus has not been adapted to since childhood.
For example, vowels can have 2 pronunciations each, and the difference between them is minimal by ear and very important at the same time - an incorrect sound turns one word into another. Consonants, in general, can be pronounced in three different ways - strong, weak and aspirated, and none of them coincides with the sounds familiar to a Russian person.
The second is grammar. The word order in a sentence is so illogical for Slavic speakers that not everyone is able to accept it even after several years of study. Also, Korean does not have the usual forms of verbs, but there are various categories of politeness, the need for which depends on what your status is and what the status of your interlocutor! It's time to decide that learning German with its many consonants is a more attractive prospect.
The third is vocabulary. Three types of vocabulary - native Korean, Chinese and borrowed from other languages - lead to the fact that the word can be pronounced and written differently, but at the same time mean the same thing. Moreover, not a single course will help you understand this issue - everything is comprehended only in communication with native speakers and in complete immersion in the language environment.
Why you should take up Korean
Now that you're scared enough, allow yourself a spoonful of honey: yes, all these difficulties await beginners in learning Korean. But as soon as your mind adjusts to the previously unfamiliar logic of the inhabitants of the Land of the Morning Calm, as South Korea is poetically called, the language will go like clockwork.
The most important thing you should do is forget about everything you have been taught in English and even Russian and stop trying to match Korean with other languages you know. Then you will be completely open to new knowledge, get acquainted with the structure of the language, which is unusual for you, and you will only have to love it with all your heart and want to speak Korean. Caution: in this case, you are in danger of complete "Koreanization"!
If you are still hesitant between Chinese, Korean and Japanese, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with

If you are interested in learning Korean, then you probably know that it is used in South and North Korea, as well as in the Yanban Autonomous Region of China. Learning Korean is not an easy task because it has almost no common ground with Western languages. And if you have taken up the study of this beautiful language, then the following tips will help you a lot in this.
Start with the alphabet
The best start to learning Korean is the alphabet. The Korean alphabet, at first glance, looks very bizarre and incomprehensible to people who have not previously encountered it. It is absolutely not similar to Cyrillic or Latin. But by paying enough attention to the Korean alphabet, you will have an excellent basis for reading and writing in the future.
Here are some facts about the Korean alphabet:
· Uses 24 letters: 10 vowels and 14 consonants.
· There are 16 diphthongs and double consonants.
· The Korean language borrows approximately 3,000 Chinese characters (hanja) to express words of Chinese origin. Khancha is used predominantly in religious texts, dictionaries, classical literature and academic writing.
Learn to count
Once you have begun to navigate the alphabet, the next important task is to learn how to count in Korean. Learning Korean counting is not easy, as the language uses two different systems of cardinal numbers: Korean and Chinese, each of which is used in a specific situation.
So, for example, the Korean system is used when you need to count from 1 to 99 or voice a person's age. The Chinese system of quantitative numbers is used when voicing a date, address, phone number, money, or numbers after 100.
Expand your vocabulary
To learn Korean and speak it fluently, you need to know as many Korean words as possible. Start with simple everyday words and gradually move on to more complex academic and literary expressions. Here are some tips for learning Korean words:
Develop the habit of thinking like “What would that sound like in Korean?” this way you will constantly find new words to learn and expand your vocabulary very quickly.
· Surround yourself in Korean: translate your smartphone or tablet into Korean. Also, you can install a program that will give you new Korean words several times a day, not letting you forget about learning the language.
· Use two-way translation: translate not only from Russian into Korean, but also from Korean into Russian, this will help you remember familiar phrases and expressions, thereby consolidating what you have learned.
· Regular practice: you can quickly and efficiently learn Korean only by studying it regularly. Set aside at least an hour a day for language learning.
Learn basic phrases
If we imagine speech as a large constructor, then a phrase is like a ready-made element that is already complex: it just needs to be put in the right place. Therefore, another good way to quickly learn and speak Korean is to memorize basic phrases and where they apply. Having learned the simplest phrases in Korean in the spirit: “Hi, my name is Zhenya” and “How are you?” you will already be able to strike up a conversation with a person and get the experience of live communication in Korean.
The main thing before this is to understand the use of a polite form. The fact is that the endings of Korean verbs tend to change depending on the social status and rank of the person with whom you communicate. You need to learn how to use these endings correctly in order to conduct a conversation on a polite level.
The Korean language uses only three types of formality:
· Informal - an appeal to peers, close friends and juniors.
· Formal-polite - an appeal to elders, also used in official and business settings.
· Respectful - treatment in the news and the army. Almost never seen in everyday life.
Learn the Basics of Grammar
To write and speak Korean correctly, you need to learn its grammar. This will give you a general idea of how a sentence is built and in what situations it can be applied. Here are some basics of Korean grammar:
Adjectives, like verbs, take different forms depending on tense
The verb is always placed at the end of the sentence
Most often, the subject is omitted and determined by the context or the previous sentence
Practice Korean
In order to develop a competent pronunciation, you will need more than one hour of practice. Everything will not work out at once, but if you do something as well as you can do it, then sooner or later you will achieve the desired result. Mistakes are the necessary experience for success and there is no point in being ashamed of them.
Start your Korean language practice by listening to podcasts. Listen carefully and try to repeat what the speaker said. Once you have mastered the pronunciation and your language is no longer tangled with Korean words, you can start looking for a pen pal and speaking Korean. Ideally, this should be someone you know who you can see quite often.
But if there are no familiar Koreans in your environment, then feel free to go to Facebook or Skype and start looking for such a person. Many Koreans are interested in learning Russian, and you will be able to establish a beneficial cooperation for both of you. By practicing and learning Korean with a native speaker, you will quickly become imbued with the culture of this country and maybe even get the opportunity to visit this country.
Sign up for a Korean language course
Korean courses are one of the most effective ways to learn Korean in the shortest time. They have their own programs, tested by more than one thousand students and help to approach language learning in a more organized way. In addition, group lessons under the supervision of an experienced teacher will help you quickly master the correct pronunciation and spelling of Korean words.
It is best to choose courses that are reputable and considered the best in the field of Korean language learning. Often such courses are located at the embassy or linguistic universities. Search the Internet for information on the best language courses in your city, and also read reviews about them. The ideal option would be to meet with the teachers who will teach you earlier and ask them about the methods and curriculum.
Add interactivity to your learning
For fast and high-quality learning of the Korean language, it is important to rest. And it's better to do it in the company of Korean media. Watching your favorite movie or You Tube video in Korean with subtitles will not only have a good time, but you will also discover many new Korean words. Pause and write down new words so as not to lose them, and then even relaxing in the company of a movie will help you learn Korean.
Also start listening to Korean music and translating the lyrics of the songs you like. Over time, you will begin to understand what is being sung about. Thus, you will develop the skill of dividing speech into semantic streams and in everyday life you will not have problems with the Korean language.
Trip to Korea
If you have the opportunity to go and live in Korea for a while, then feel free to take a ticket! This will help you not only learn the Korean language in the shortest possible time, but also get to know the culture, form your own idea of this country. After all, often the stories and real life in the country are very different. In addition, you can already clearly understand whether you want to live in Korea or not.
Bottom line: how to learn Korean
Start learning Korean from the simplest and work your way up to the more difficult. No need to try to cover everything at once, do a little, but every day and over time you will achieve your goal. And do not be afraid of mistakes and failures - without them, learning the Korean language is impossible.
Learn and enjoy it. All the best!
