About Korean, honestly

FSI Category IV: the long game, worth playing

~2,200 class hours to professional working proficiency · Polite basics in ~3 months; real conversation takes 6–9+ months of daily practice

What's genuinely hard

  • Plain vs. tense vs. aspirated consonants (ㄱ/ㄲ/ㅋ): a three-way contrast English lacks; in minimal pairs
  • Verb-last order with particles, like Japanese
  • Honorifics and speech levels: we teach polite 해요 style first
  • Two number systems used for different things

Tips

  • Hangul is the world's most learnable script: genuinely one afternoon. Do it first; the romanization is temporary
  • Korean and Japanese share structure; learning one meaningfully helps the other later

Your first lessons

  • · 인사 (Greetings)
  • · 예의 (Please & thank you)
  • · 다시 물어보기 (Getting unstuck)
  • · 응급 상황 (Emergencies)
  • …and 38 more across three levels
