If you choose to take part in an Austin Korean course that Varsity Tutors can enroll you in, you might find that learning this language isn't as tricky as you initially thought. No matter what background you're coming from, learning Korean is a unique experience. That's because Korean is a language isolate, and it's almost completely unrelated to other linguistic groups. In fact, experts are unsure about how the Korean language initially evolved. While it's true that there are a few similarities between Japanese and Korean, it's not enough to form a conclusive connection. When you learn Korean for the first time, you'll encounter all kinds of interesting features that you won't find in any other language.
There are many reasons why someone might want to learn Korean. For those involved in academics, Korean could help you meet language requirements for certain programs. These programs might be offered at the University of Texas and many other post-secondary institutions. High school students might also benefit from a deep understanding of the Korean language, especially when the time comes to apply for various universities. You can take Korean courses alongside your studies, whether you're at Bowie High School, Lake Travis High School, or any other school. Korean might also be highly beneficial for working professionals, especially those involved in international trade and business relations. South Korea is very influential in the world economy, and many of the world's largest corporations are headquartered in this country. Developing a deep understanding of the Korean language might open the door for all kinds of unique opportunities and connections. Of course, plenty of students also learn Korean out of personal interest, and this is also a very rewarding experience in its own right.
What Might An Austin Korean Course Cover?
When you take your first Austin Korean course, you'll quickly encounter many of the features which make this language totally unique. One example is Korea's distinct writing system. This language uses a syllabic alphabet called Hangul, and many linguistic experts claim that it's the most advanced system in the world. Although Hangul might resemble pictographs, these characters are actually square blocks of clustered syllabic characters. Hangul is incredibly efficient in terms of phonology, as syllables are very easy to sound out. This means that once you understand the system of Hangul and its various characters, pronouncing words is easy. Many experts point out that Hangul is superior to English in many ways, as our language is filled with silent letters, inconsistent rules, and other confusing aspects.
In Korean sentences, an adjective or a verb is always placed at the end of the sentence. Because of this, it's very important to listen to the last word of each sentence, as this word often creates an entirely new spin on the sentence you've just heard. Depending on the verb or adjective at the end of a sentence, expressions could become positive, negative, past tense, or future tense. Conjugating verbs is very important in Korean, and you can actually use properly conjugated verbs as complete sentences. While English speakers conjugate their verbs based on what they're talking about, Korean speakers conjugate verbs based on who they're speaking to. There are a number of speech levels you'll need to master, including formal polite, informal polite, and casual speech.

You might find that this learning style works especially well when learning new languages, as you'll have plenty of chances to practice your Korean skills with other students.

...My philosophy is that the most effective teaching comes from knowing how my student learns, and meeting them where they are. I want to instill a love of learning, but that will not happen if I don't get to know my student. Outside teaching, I write fiction, perform Shakespearean theatre, cook and bake from scratch, design recipes, and add my mezzo soprano to my church chorale on a regular basis. Let's learn together!
