Learning Korean

  • I would allow a year to learn to speak, but to learn to read newspapers and use the politeness forms properly you would need at least three years of study, though you can learn to read simple Korean in about four months. The right-angle shapes and logic of the writing system make it easy to learn and can be learned in two days. It is fun to show off that you can read and write it but the tricky part comes in learning to read books and newspapers quickly, which takes a lot of practice.
