Using Korean literature, especially children’s fairytales, combined with sociology/psychology I could improve my Korean. Reading children’s fairy tales could seem very basic, however they show me the culture and history of Korea. And since the sentences are basic, learning the grammar of the language as well as the sentence structure could be very beneficial. Furthermore, because most of these stories are based in the past, there will be terms that I won’t know. Learning these terms in an interesting and fun way will help them stay in my memory for a long time.
Understanding the sociological perspective of Korea will also allow me to learn the language better. Obviously, the language that’s used in literature and writing is not the same as the one used in speaking. Learning the sociology can help me learn words that are used in speaking (ex: slang terms) which will help me communicate in Korean better. Which is arguably a better skill for me.
