    한국어를 쉽게 알려주는 선생님 안녕하세요! 만나서 반갑습니다. 저는 경기도에 살고 있어요. 대학교에서 영어영문학을 공부하고 있고 취미로 일본어도 공부하고 있는, 여러분들처럼 외국어를 잘하고 싶어하는 사람들 중 한명이에요. 가르치는걸 정말 좋아하는 사람이다보니까 누구보다 한국어를 쉽고 재미있게 알려줄 수 있어요.
    대학교에서 언어관련 공부를하고, 취미로 일본어도 공부하다보니 외국어를 공부 함에 있어 무엇이 힘든지 잘 알고 있다고 생각해요. 듣기, 읽기는 어떻게든 할 수 있겠지만 말하기만큼은 정말로 같이 말할 사람이 있어야 되더라고요. 또한, 한국어는 아니지만 학원에서 영어를 가르친 경험이 있어서 가르쳐주고 알려주는데에는 자신이 있어요.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🇰🇷 How to learn Korean?

There are many different ways to learn a new language, and it really depends on what works best for you. Key to learn a language is total immersion. With an online Korean tutor you can learn Korean with a native speaker even when you're not in Korea. There are many more ways you can have a bit of Korea in your own home. Test your comprehension skills when you watch great films like "Oldeuboi" or "Parasite." Maybe Korean dramas are more your thing (Don't worry you're not alone.) You have a visual buffet awaiting you. And of course, let's not forget the international sensation K-pop has become. Look up BTS, Blackpink, and other popular Korean songs to practice your pronunciation as you enjoy some tunes. For something more low-key, curl up somewhere comfortable and dive into the literary world of Sun-mi Hwang, Seo Jeong-ju, or other Korean authors. Make sure to ask your Preply Korean teacher for recommendations.
 

🥇 Is Korean hard to learn?

The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) ranked Korean as one the hardest languages to learn. Korean is a unique language, it belongs to the Koreanic language family and has around nine dialects. Learning a language with a new sentence structure and writing system can be daunting, like with Korean. Learning Korean can be hard at first, but after you've had some lessons with a private Korean tutor you will notice you're making progress already.
 

📅 How long does it take to learn Korean?

On average, it takes around 88 weeks or 2,200 hours to learn Korean. As with any language you want to learn, the more time you're willing to invest the faster you will learn. To make progress we recommend taking at least two Korean lessons a week.
 

🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏿How many people speak Korean?

There are 82 million Korean speakers across the world, with the majority being native speakers (77 million). It is the official language in North and South Korea, regional in one country, and spoken in seven others.
 

🎓 What are the most popular Korean tests?

The Korean Language Proficiency Test (KLPT), particularly for non-native speakers, suits those looking to work in Korea. Getting certified can help you advance your career or at the least confirm your proficiency. On the other hand, the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) is for students trying to enroll in Korean universities or graduate schools. Job seekers can also take this test to work at Korean companies and public institutions. Lastly, passing the TOPIK is necessary to obtain an F-5 visa if you're not married to a Korean citizen.
