Understanding Korean for Adult English Speakers: Black and White Edition

James Life

4.9/5 (15247 ratings)

Description:I lived in Korea for 14 years and at the end of that time I had a very limited knowledge of the Korean language. Why did I fail so miserably in learning and applying Korean as another language? Why am I not alone, as an adult learner, in failing to learn Korean, even when giving a reasonable commitment of time and effort? Is it that Korean is too difficult a language to learn, or is it that as an adult learner, my mind is too fossilized to allow the adapting of a new language? The truth is Korean is substantially different in sounds, vocabulary, structure, and logic than English, but this should not be an insurmountable problem for the mature mind given an adequate commitment and effort to learn the language. I think the fundamental problem is in the way the language is explained and taught to adult native-speakers of English. To illustrate this point I set out to learn Korean at the ripe old age of 62 through self-instruction, documenting the process, and developing a guide that can help others to understand Korean. Adult learners need to understand in order to accept new information, and to this end, this guide spends most of the text in giving explanation - there are no grammar or conversation exercises.
