Korean Language Classes
Korean Language Overview
Korean is one of the most scientifically structured languages in the world, characterized by its unique phonetic alphabet, Hangeul, which was intentionally designed in 1443 to be mastered quickly through its logical, featural system where consonant shapes mimic the physical position of the speaker's speech organs. As an agglutinative language, Korean builds meaning by "gluing" various suffixes to a central root to indicate tense, mood, and social relationship, all while following a consistent Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structure. This systematic approach extends to its sophisticated honorific system, which reflects a deep cultural emphasis on social harmony and respect, making it a fascinating blend of mathematical precision and rich traditional values.
