Posted by ROLLING KOREA on August 17th, 2016

Speaking Korean can open your world to social and business opportunities not just in South Korea but in many parts across the globe. There is no better place to learn Korean than in Seoul, where you can be amongst the native speakers on a daily basis. Immersing yourself in the local society will allow you more opportunities to speak the language in natural, organic settings. This will ultimately improve your fluency in a faster rate.

Why Study in Seoul?

If you are a westerner looking for a fun adventure, consider going to Seoul to learn Korean. You will hit two birds with one stone by doing this. First, you learn a new language in a more effective manner. Second, you can expand your cultural horizons. Studying Korean in Seoul will change the way you see life. It can expand your view of the world and allow you to interact socially with native speakers. Living in Korea while studying its language immerses you in the rich culture and history of this ‘land of the morning calm.’ Only when you study in Seoul will you truly appreciate the nuances of the language and understand the undercurrent of traditions, parables, and philosophies that influence it. What’s more, you get to experience Korea’s modern side—from its nightlife to its K-Pop obsession.

Why Learn Korean?

You might be wondering: Is the Korean language difficult? No—not at all! Compared to other Northeast Asian languages like Japanese, Cantonese, or Mandarin, Korean is the easiest to learn. The script is comparatively logical and simple. There are no tones and many words are borrowed from the English language.

Korean is sometimes described by westerners as choppy; in fact, for some speakers, the language might sound ‘angry.’ But once you learn to truly speak Korean properly, you will find that there is an elegance to sound. It’s definitely fun to get accustomed to!

Speaking Korean is a must if you want to live, work, or study in Korea. But you can also learn it if you want to go on an extended holiday. The ability to read and speak it will often allow you to get better prices in shops not only in Seoul but also in Korean-owned stores elsewhere in the world. Speaking Korean might even get you extra generous portions of dishes from cooks in traditional Korean restaurants who will be pleasantly surprised by your ability (and interest) in their native tongue. And with 71 million people in the world speaking Korean, you will have plenty of opportunity to use your fluency to your advantage.
