A Denver Korean course offered by Varsity Tutors could help you develop a deep understanding of the Korean language. Make no mistake, this language is one of a kind. It's considered a "language isolate," which means it's not really connected or related to any other language group. Experts aren't sure where this language came from, or which language group it evolved from. While there are some loose similarities to Japanese, Korean is very much unique. Learning this language is an interesting process that requires an open mind and new ways of thinking. You'll build sentences in very different ways, and you'll learn about a totally distinct and innovative writing system. There are many reasons why you might want to learn Korean. Maybe you're a student at the University of Colorado in Denver and you need to meet certain language requirements for various programs. Perhaps you're a high school student at Denver School of the Arts, Mullen High School, or another area secondary school. As a high school student, getting started early with your Korean education could be a smart move. This language could come in handy when you're applying for universities in the future, or even when you're traveling the world. Korean is spoken by approximately 75 million people around the world, including communities of speakers in nations like the United States, China, and Russia. This language might also be quite useful for working professionals, as Korea is quite active in the global economy. You never know what type of opportunities might arise when you learn this language.
What Might A Denver Korean Course Cover?
One of the first things you'll learn about in your Korean course is a unique writing system called Hangul. Many linguistic experts claim that this is actually one of the most efficient writing systems ever created, mostly due to its straightforward phonology. While Hangul might look like Chinese pictograms, it's actually a syllabic system. Various syllabic characters are arranged into square "blocks" of syllables that represent pictograms, but they're more like pieces of words. Aside from Korea's unique alphabet, this language also relies on a distinct sentence structure. Each sentence ends with either a verb or an adjective. This means that it's very important to listen to the end of sentences when conversing in Korean. The end of the sentence often contains the vital information and context. Verb conjugation also follows a unique system which changes based on who is being spoken to, not what is being spoken about. Conjugation follows "speech levels" which might include formal polite, informal polite, and casual speech. Interestingly, completely conjugated verb can be used as a complete sentence in the Korean language. Those are just a few concepts your Korean course can cover, and you'll also have the opportunity to learn about pronunciation. You can expand your vocabulary and learn plenty of common phrases. Your course might also cover Korean history and culture, and about the slight differences between North and South Korean dialects.

These virtual classrooms have a lot in common with a normal classroom, as you'll learn with other students in a collaborative learning environment An expert, highly qualified Korean instructor will lead your learning sessions, and you can always ask questions, interact and make comments about what you're learning. This group-based learning approach has proven benefits, and it might be a perfect method for your unique learning style. You'll hear your fellow students speaking Korean around you, and you'll also the chance to practice your oral Korean skills with each other. You might not benefit from this group-based learning experience with other learning styles. Each instructor must go through a rigorous vetting and interview process, which ensures you're learning from highly knowledgeable individuals with great communication skills.
