ma

It was created by King Sejong in 1446 to promote literacy amongst Koreans who previously wrote using Chinese characters. It's still widely regarded for its scientific linguistic qualities and is spoken by close to 80 million people worldwide. The vast majority of speakers live on the Korean peninsula, but several million Korean speakers are found elsewhere throughout the world, particularly in: China (especially in the north east), Japan, the former Soviet Union (not just in the Russian Far East, but also in Central Asian republics), and North America (the US and Canada). Substantial numbers of Korean speakers are also found in: South East Asia (in particular in Guam, Saipan, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand), Europe (in particular Germany and the UK), South America (particularly in Argentina and Chile), Australia & New Zealand.

Grammar Whilst there's traditionally been a strong Chinese and now, increasingly, English influence on Korean vocabulary. Korean grammar is completely different to Chinese grammar (which is more similar to English), and is very similar to Japanese grammar. So, if you have previous Japanese study experience, you'll probably find this an advantage in studying Korean. I'll only skim over Korean word order in this section, though strongly recommend that you buy a Korean textbook or study online if you wish to learn Korean Grammar. Korean Word Order Whilst English typically follows a subject-verb-object word order, Korean usually follows a subject-object-verb word order, which may cause some confusion for English speakers. For example: I come from Canada, would be: . Cheo neun Kaenada eso wasseoyo, literally meaning: I (+ particle - neun) Canadafrom came.

Names The ending -(shi) is a unisex title used at the end of the person's name, similar to Mr/Mrs/Miss, etc, an example of this is (Lee Yeong Ju shi). It is important to always address people older than yourself by their family name and not their given name. Korean names always commence with the family name, followed by the person's given name. Korean family names are nearly always one syllable in length, while the majority of given names are two syllables in length (though sometimes only one syllable). So, most Koreans have three syllable full names, eg. - Lee (pronounced 'i') [family name] Yeong Ju [given name]. Given names are often displayed in English in many different formats often involving a hyphen (or no separation at all) between the syllables and with differing uses of capitals, just to confused you! ;) People & Relatives

(/)oeguk(in/saram) - foreigner/foreign person

Koreans often call not only relatives, but also older people who are strangers, halmeoni, harabeoji, ajumma and ajeossi, which literally mean 'grandma', 'grandpa', 'auntie' and 'uncle' respectively. The meaning of the terms in this situation is similar to that of sir or ma'am in English. Similarly, Korean girls will often call their boyfriends or older male friends, oppa,

which literally means 'older brother'. There's also the term agashi, which literally means 'husband's younger sister' and is used to refer to younger women, however this term is often used nowdays.

* Politeness ... is an important aspect of speaking Korean, particularly when talking to

strangers or people older than yourself. So, if someone asks you where you are from it's often best to add -yo to your answer, as this is polite. For example, when talking to new people, if you're Australian it's best to say you're from hojuyo instead of just hoju .
