Learning the Korean Language for the First Time!

Please refer to Audio Recordings - Introduction, to learn about "WHY" listening to Korean is so important in learning Korean.

Welcome You All to the Korean Language Guide!

This blog was first created in 2006 as an experiment to help people who would like to learn Korean language online by providing some basic grammar lessons on Korean.

Over the years, I was able to put up more and more Korean language lessons online, and as of now, in January 2011, there are more than 70 online Korean lessons in this blog.

The principles in writing these online Korean language lessons have been that I remain intentional about making them as easy to understand and readily applicable in daily life as I can, and comprehensive enough to cover major points of the Korean language which includes both the Written and Spoken forms.

Now, what do I mean by written and spoken forms?

In Korean, the verb endings change depending on whether the language is used in writing or speech.

Note: In Korean grammar, the verbs come at the end of a sentence. For more on the sentence order, please read Sentence Order.

For example, " " which means "I went to school" is a written form, and " " is a spoken form.

? = I went to school (written form as in writing, books, diary and newspaper) ? = I went to school (spoken form as in conversations, movies and dramas)

As you can see, the ending of a verb changes from to , both of which mean "went".

Therefore you'd write in one way but speak in a slightly different way. But don't be too alarmed at the difference, as there are simple patterns to it, and you'll get to learn them along the way.

It is also important to learn the differences in degrees of formalities in the Korean language. There are three major types in the degrees of formality:

?Informal ?Polite ?Honorific

In expressing the politeness in the speech, Korean differs from English in that the verb endings change depending on the age and rank of the person being addressed to and the social setting one finds oneself in. For example, when I'm asked, "Where are you going?" I might answer, "I'm going to school" in the following ways:
