1. It is not difficult for China to learn Korean.
Many people who learn Korean say that Korean is much easier than English. In fact, China and Japanese are the fastest and best foreigners to learn Korean. There are two reasons: First, there are 70% Chinese characters in Korean words, so memorizing words and listening will be easy for us in China. Chinese characters in Korean imitate the pronunciation of ancient Chinese in China. These sounds are always similar to those in modern Chinese, and it is easier to guess after being familiar with the rules. Speaking Korean often seems to be talking to our ancestors. For example, we have learned the Korean language of "Korea". What is that? The Korean word for "middle" is "?" Then you can guess "?" It means "China".
Many beginners have asked whether there is a corresponding law between the pronunciation of Chinese characters in Korean and that in modern Chinese. In other words, does a certain sound in Chinese necessarily correspond to a certain sound in Korean? This rule exists, but it is not easy to remember and there is no need to recite it. As long as we pay attention to the corresponding Chinese characters when memorizing words, we can almost master the rules by memorizing dozens of Chinese characters. If you have memorized hundreds of Chinese characters, when you hear Chinese characters you haven't learned, you can associate them with what you have learned, and then you can usually guess them from the context. Even if there are words you haven't learned in what Koreans say, if they are Chinese characters, you can easily understand them. When speaking Korean, many people will make up a Chinese word that they have never learned according to the Chinese words they have memorized, which is often correct. For example, like the above situation, if you already know the Korean word for "Korea" is "?" The Korean word for "middle" is "?" Then you can try saying "?" Even if you haven't learned the word "China". As a result, many times we guessed right. If you want to learn Korean, you can come to this Q group, which starts with 299, ends with 169, and ends with 3 1 1, where you can learn to communicate and download materials.
Besides Chinese characters, there are many English words in Korean, accounting for more than 10% of Korean vocabulary, and the pronunciation of these words is very similar to English. There are also some corresponding rules on how to pronounce a certain sound in English in Korean, which can be mastered quickly in the learning process without special memory rules.
Young people in Korea use more English words than old people. The more serious and formal the document, the more Chinese words are used, the more Chinese words and English words are used in the company's document report, and the more Korean words are used in daily conversations. Because if China people learn Korean well, many Koreans will say that your Korean is better than theirs, because they think that using some Chinese words gives people a very learned feeling, and we are familiar with using Chinese words in Korean.
The second reason why Koreans learn Korean well is that China and China have extremely similar cultures and values, and people's ways of thinking are also very similar. Everyone knows that learning advanced foreign languages means learning the culture of this country. South Korea is deeply influenced by China culture, especially Confucian culture, so it is easy for China people to understand and feel very cordial when they come into contact with South Korea. At the same time, South Korea was influenced by many western cultures in modern times. Coupled with its humanistic national characteristics, Korean culture makes us feel both familiar and novel in China.
2. Characteristics of Korean
Korean is a phonetic symbol, and reading and writing are exactly the same. Every word in Korean is composed of consonants+vowels or consonants+vowels+radio stations. Consonants and vowels are like initials and finals in Chinese Pinyin. To learn Korean, you only need to recite 40 letters, and you can write a word when you hear its pronunciation. Even if you see a word you haven't learned, you can pronounce it accurately, unlike English, where you need to remember spelling and pronunciation at the same time. Korean was invented by King Sejong of the Li Dynasty in the15th century. Before that, Koreans have been using Chinese characters. The original intention of "King Sejong" was to invent a simple word to reduce the illiteracy rate in Korea. Therefore, as a "literacy script", Korean can be written as long as it can speak, and it is much easier to learn than other languages.
The tense changes in Korean are relatively simple. Compared with English, Korean also has tenses, but the tenses of all verbs and adjectives follow the same rules, and there is no need to remember the past tense and other tenses of each word.
The difference between honorifics and non-honorifics in Korean. Koreans say honorific words to people they want to respect, but not to people of their peers. This may be the biggest difficulty in elementary Korean learning, but after intermediate level, they can master the use of honorifics freely. Poor use of honorifics will not affect the expression of meaning. If you don't have a good grasp of honorifics, you can fully explain it when talking to Koreans. Koreans generally don't care about foreigners, so you don't have to be afraid to speak because you don't use honorifics well.
Korean belongs to Altaic language family, which is similar to Japanese. If you have studied Japanese, learning Korean will be much easier. The grammar and language sense of these two languages are very similar. The biggest feature is that the structure of subject+verb+object in Chinese will become subject+object+verb in Korean, which may be somewhat unsuitable for beginners. In addition, there are many conjunctions in Korean that have no independent meaning. Mastering the usage of these words is the key to learn elementary and intermediate Korean well.
3. How to learn Korean well
The most difficult stage of learning Korean is the primary stage, because the primary stage is to learn the sentence structure of Korean and all the tense changes and honorifics, which is exactly the biggest difference from Chinese. Just knowing a new language family, many people will feel uncomfortable. After learning these contents, the intermediate level is mainly to learn the use of some sentence patterns and expand the vocabulary, but it is much easier. Because Korean words are easy to remember, many people feel that they are advancing by leaps and bounds at the intermediate level. Therefore, the most important thing to learn Korean is not to be intimidated by the difficulties in getting started. In fact, all the difficulties have been tasted after you have finished learning elementary Korean. It's really a pity to stop at this time.
Now give you a summary of ten rules for learning Korean:
1, you can't stop learning Korean for one day. If you really have no time, even if you squeeze out 10 minutes every day; Morning is a good time to learn Korean.
If you are tired of learning, don't be too reluctant, but don't give up learning. At this time, you can change your learning style; For example, put the book aside and listen to the radio, or temporarily put down the textbook and turn to the dictionary.
Never learn by rote out of context.
You should always write down and remember those "sentence sets" that are used the most on weekdays.
5. Try to' teleport' what you come into contact with, such as advertisements that flash by and words that you hear occasionally, which is also a way of rest.
6. Only what has been modified by the teacher is worth remembering. Don't look at the exercises that have been done and haven't been revised repeatedly by others. If you watch too much, you will unconsciously keep them in your mind together with the wrong things. If you are purely self-taught and have no help from others, then you should remember what must be correct.
7. When copying and memorizing sentences and idioms, use singular first person.
8. Koreans are like a bunker. We must besiege from all directions at the same time: reading newspapers, listening to the radio, watching original movies, listening to Korean lectures, studying textbooks, communicating with Korean friends, going back and forth, chatting and so on.
9. Dare to speak, don't be afraid to make mistakes, and ask others to correct me. Above all, when others do correct your mistakes, don't be embarrassed or discouraged.
10, I firmly believe that I can achieve my goal, I firmly believe that I have strong perseverance and extraordinary talent in language.
Korean is hard to say, because it is different from our mother tongue, and we are not in the context of foreign language communication, and even our way of thinking is very different. But it's also easy. Because language reflects some concepts and connections, it is a means of extensive communication. Those difficult sentences are doomed to be eliminated, leaving only the essence (easy to communicate). Therefore, there are many effective ways to learn a foreign language:
1, a sense of wholeness, grasping roots, words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, even full texts and books from a meaning group structure.
Practice: practice circular calligraphy and write one word at a time. Deliberately divide the sentence structure and find out where to breathe, pause and read continuously.
Read more and recite more essays. Try to enlarge your eyes, that is, look at the words more, which is also a training to improve your speed.
Copy more and write more. Grasp idioms, phrases, or copy them according to meaning groups.
It is best to recite words in sentences. But if you can read a lot and get familiar with everything, there is no need to recite it.
2. Communication and application-oriented.
The purpose of most of us learning a foreign language is not to become writers, but to communicate and apply. So it is unnecessary to overemphasize grammar and rhetoric. Concise, clear and clear expression is enough. Otherwise, it is easy to go astray. It's hard to improve. If possible, beginners try to associate everyday things with foreign words or phrases.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
Although mistakes can cause ambiguity and make people hard to understand, it is enough to explain a few more words. Bold communication can bring more communication and more exercise. In the non-native language environment, we should create all possible training opportunities, fearing that mistakes will isolate ourselves, leading to more mistakes in the future, or not knowing it. Fear of mistakes is also fear of difficulties.
When you start talking with people in a foreign language, try to use short sentences.
Short sentences are not easy to make grammatical mistakes and ambiguity. Flawless is the greatest success and the most refreshing. The same is true of writing.
5. Overcome the fear of difficulties.
Many people gradually lose confidence, not to mention interest, because their foreign language level has not improved or they have been delayed for too long in the learning platform area. In some people, it even becomes a psychological barrier. In fact, foreign languages are easy to learn, at least make yourself feel easy to learn. You can naturally find a sense of language and make a breakthrough. For example, in English, new words are a big difficulty. But even CET-6 requires a vocabulary of only 5,500. There is nothing here. It is people who blindly repeat meaningless exercises that make them physically and mentally exhausted and kill their ambitions. If you use the system learning method to scan your memory quickly, you can scan 2000 words one hour a day, and you can see a reincarnation in three days. In this way, more than 80% of people can break through the new word barrier through six reinforcement in three weeks. So, what else will dampen confidence?
6. Try to write.
Don't be surprised. Anyone who has a gift for writing depends on whether he can find it.
