Individuals looking to learn Korean can do so with help from a Raleigh-Durham Korean course offered by Varsity Tutors. Learning Korean has many benefits, whether you are a student at Durham School of the Arts, you are participating in Korean classes at North Carolina State University, or you are an adult looking to expand your lingual abilities for job opportunities or future travel plans. Learning Korean can make you more marketable in the international job market, it can expand your chances of studying abroad, and it can allow you to talk to people across the globe. No matter the reason for your interest in learning the language, signing up for our course can help you build your command.
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.
When signing up for a Korean class, you are signing up for comprehensive Korean lessons instructed by a skilled and professional teacher. At Varsity Tutors, we put instructors through a rigorous vetting process. Each Korean instructor is skilled not only in speaking Korean, but also in educating students effectively. Feel confident and comfortable working with your Korean instructor. During your live, online lessons, feel free to ask questions in real time to receive quick and concise replies. Not only can this benefit you, but it can also benefit your peers who may have similar questions. Students can interact with one another through our collaborative platform as well, so you can get plenty of practice with written and spoken Korean to feel more confident in your skills. You can also book individual time with your instructor if you need some extra help on any topics.
