To everyone else, welcome back! Both North Koreans and South Koreans speak the same Korean language, but decades of being divided from each other caused separate dialects to emerge, and the way each country spoke the same language began to become more different. For this book and like most other Korean language books , we will be learning the Korean language as spoken in South Korea.
Korea shares a lot of its history with its neighbor, China. A large portion of the Korean vocabulary originally came from Chinese as well, although the sounds of these words were changed as they were brought into Korea. Still, although Korea has adopted much of its vocabulary from Chinese, and some of its grammar from Japanese, it is unrelated to either. This makes it even more interesting.

Instead, wealthy and educated Koreans would simply learn Chinese if they wanted to read and write. Because the Chinese language could only be studied by those with money and prestige, the majority of Korea was unfortunately illiterate. But all of this changed with the creation of the Korean. Do I Need to Learn Hangul? The short answer is "yes.
Although there are ways of using the English alphabet to spell Korean words, none of these are perfect, and all have their flaws — Hangul is the only true way of learning to correctly read and write Korean. There are several systems available for writing the Korean language with the English alphabet, and yet none of them can correctly capture the sound, spelling, and meaning of the original word written at the same time.
Depending on which system. A different system may preserve the original spelling Toklipmun , but loses the actual sound. And while another system may preserve the original spelling and the original sound Dog -Rib-Moon , it looks completely silly. In short, there is no substitute for learning to read and write Hangul.
