Korean is spoken by around 75 million people across the world, including over 45 million people in South Korea and nearly 25 million people in North Korea. Korean is the official language of both North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (Republic of Korea), but each country uses the language a little differently. There are some nuances between North and South Korean spelling, alphabetization, and vocabulary choice.

The fact that Korean is a language isolate means it's a totally new challenge for anyone looking to learn it. A language isolate is a language that does not share obvious relationships with any other languages. For native English speakers, it may be difficult to understand Korean because of the unique sentence structures, verb conjugation, pronunciations, and other intricacies. If you are trying to learn Korean but are struggling with certain areas of this language, think about reaching out to Varsity Tutors to sign up for a Raleigh-Durham Korean course.

What can I learn in a Raleigh-Durham Korean class?

If you want to strengthen your Korean language abilities, no matter your skill level, you may be interested in signing up for a Korean class. In a Korean class, you can learn about the areas of this language that may be difficult for you to grasp. For example, Korean sentence structure poses difficulties because it encourages grammar that seems incorrect in English. For example, in English, we would say, "I drove the bus," but in Korean, we would say, "I the bus drove." Even though this sounds wrong, it is accurate in Korean. Since this isn't exactly intuitive for native English speakers, they must break some otherwise healthy habits in order to communicate correctly in Korean. If you want extra help getting used to Korean sentence structure, just enroll in a Raleigh-Durham Korean class.

Another area of the Korean language where some native English speakers struggle is verb conjugation. Unlike English, where verbs are conjugated based on the subjects, Korean verbs are actually conjugated based on speech levels. Also, a conjugated verb can stand on its own as a complete sentence in Korean. When it comes to speech levels, Korean uses these levels as a way to show respect. In your Raleigh-Durham Korean class, you can learn about the various speech levels, such as casual speech, informal polite, and formal polite.
