Journal #7

Korean belongs to the Atlantic languages of central Asia, which includes Turkish, Mongolian, and the Tungusic languages of Siberia. However, almost half of Korean vocabularies are derived by Chinese characters, or han'gul. Korean did not have a written format until King Sejong came up with the written script of Korean. In Korean schools, students learn hanja to better understand advanced vocabulary. In order to further enhance my Korean, I need to learn some hanja to fully grasp of advanced vocabulary. This is extremely important as hanja is used very frequently. Languages change over time to become more convenient and better able to communicate feelings and to express oneself.
