Hangul
Alphabet
In an effort to squeeze
in a little more language learning time, I downloaded many of my Pimsleur
lessons into my I-Pod. I listen to them when I walk to campus, the bus or just
take one of the babies out for a walk. I also listen to these lessons when I am
working out in the gym. When you are short on time, you must think of creative
ways of utilizing your time.
If you are not
familiar with the Pimsleur method, it is an organic language learning method. I
will get into it a little more in another post.
So, on my I-pod I
have Korean, Chinese, Italian and Russian. The Italian lessons are too easy, I
will be deleting them and looking for something more advanced. Chinese, Korean
and Russian will remain.
Korean is a
beautiful language in my book. Korean is descended from Proto-Korean, Old
Korean, Middle Korean and Modern Korean. There are some arguments as to whether
or not it is an Altaic Language. I think it is a lovely language.
As you read more
of this blog, you will see that I simply included a series of pictures of the
Korean Alphabet and some Korean Words. I know many of you prefer looking at the
images rather than reading my boring language diatribes. :--)
