If you think of it as difficult, it will be difficult!īefore I go any further, one site I relied on heavily when I started Korean was Rocket Korean. So today I’m going to set your mind at ease and hopefully give you a new burst of enthusiasm for learning it.Ĭrucial to success in any foreign language pursuit is staying positive. Languages like Korean, Mandarin and Arabic tend to draw this kind of negativity from people and it usually comes from bitter people who gave up at some point early on. I’ve read comments on other sites from people who talk about how futile learning Korean is because it takes so long to be able to speak beyond a few basic phrases. Putting the necessary hard work aside, the language isn’t as hard as he or anyone thinks it is (in fact, I’ll even say Korean is easy). I was chatting to an expat in a bar last week who concluded that I must be good at languages to explain my success so far. The main excuse I hear from expats who have been living in Korea for many months or even years as to why they never bothered learning Korean is that it’s just too difficult – they tried when they first got here but then gave up shortly after. I hear and read a lot of defeatist nonsense about how much of a Goliath the Korean language is. Today I’m going set the record straight on Korean. UPDATE: If you need something to help you learn Korean then Rocket Korean and 90 Day Korean are the two most comprehensive I’ve used.
