If you are learning Korean for the first time, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a Nashville Korean course. While Korean is definitely difficult, it's also very rewarding and interesting. It is the only modern language isolate in the world, and experts are still trying to figure out where it came from and how it evolved. Korean is considered a language isolate because it isn't related to any other language group, and has features which you won't find anywhere else. Japanese is the only language which shares a few features with Korean, and even then the similarities are minimal at best.
So why learn Korean? If you're a university student, a deep understanding of Korean might help satisfy language requirements at institutions like Tennessee State University. If you're a high school student, learning Korean from an early age could be a major asset when you're applying for post-secondary institutions. And if you're a working professional, taking a Korean course could help you develop all kinds of contacts and business connections in places like South Korea. This nation is home to some of the biggest companies on the planet, such as LG and Hyundai, and it's a major player in the world economy. Or who knows, maybe you're just someone who's intrigued by the Korean language's many interesting features. Whatever the case may be, a Korean course could really help you achieve your goals as you learn Korean.
What Might A Nashville Korean Course Cover?
Within the first session of your Korean course, you'll quickly learn why Korean is such a unique and special language. One of the most interesting aspects of this language is its innovative and advanced writing system. The Korean language uses a syllabic alphabet called Hangul, and many linguistic experts claim that it's the most efficient writing system on the planet. These experts point to the fact that Hangul is phonologically faithful, which means that the syllables and their sounds follow straightforward and consistent rules. While English and other languages have many silent letters and confusing pronunciation rules, Hangul is incredibly user-friendly. Korean consonants even take on the shape of open mouths making the corresponding sounds. Although Hangul might resemble pictograms, these characters are actually square blocks of syllabic characters. Although this system might take time to get used to, you'll find that Hangul follows logical, relatively simple rules.
Your course will also cover the various elements of Korean sentence structure. One of the most notable features is that each sentence must end with either a verb or an adjective. It's very important to listen to the last word in each sentence because that's where crucial information is communicated. Sentences might become positive, negative, past tense, or future tense depending on the verb or adjective at the end. Verb conjugation is also very important, and a lot of information is communicated through conjugation alone. Properly conjugated words often stand on their own as complete sentences. In Korean, verb conjugation changes based on who you're speaking to. Specific rules called speech levels dictate how verbs should be conjugated based on who you're speaking to. Examples of speech levels include formal polite, informal polite, and casual speech.
