Learning a new language can be recreational and amusing to get rid of the monotony of life. What’s more interesting is that with this added skill, you might also add up a few bucks to your pocket, if you can actually make use of it. But the question arises, which language to start with?
Well, there are many popular options, such as languages of Western countries like French, Spanish, German, etc. as well as languages of Eastern countries such as Mandarin or Japanese. So which is the easiest language to learn? Let’s think about it once. No, it’s not French, even though it is one of the most popular Foreign language. But if you want to take off a little from the mainstream languages, why not take a look at the Asian languages. Well, Mandarin and Japanese are considered high in terms of difficulty level, due to many characters and might leave you with low motivation as a beginner to continue further but what about Korean, the official language of South Korea, which is also identified as one of the most practical languages in the world.
Yes right! 한글 (Romanized as Hangeul) is the alphabet system that is used for reading and writing the Korean language is the most practical language script in the world. It was developed by King Sejong, the Fourth King of the Joseon Dynasty. It was made official during the fifteenth century by King Sejong’s decree. Until the 20th century the script was known as Hunminjeongeum. Today, it is spoken by about 77 million people and is the 13th most widely spoken language.
Why Korean language you ask? Well, first of all the growing popularity of Korean Culture in the form of the Hallyu (Korean wave) is undeniable, not even Western countries can refuse to acknowledge it. Recent examples of Blockbusters movies that have attracted the world’s attention are Parasite (Oscar-winning movie), Lucy, Oldboy and many more. Now, why should you learn Hangeul? There are many reasons. Some of them can be:
There are many more reasons that you will discover once you start learning this language and start to reap out the benefits in the future. Moreover, you will definitely want to visit South Korea once in your lifetime. Learning Korean can help you interact with locals and you can roam freely without the need of a translator. So, let’s start our journey towards South Korea and enjoy the Korean wave.
