SDLC 105: Learning Journal #6

When you know a language’s history you will be able to understand where some of the words roots come from and how they have stemmed from other languages. Even though Korean is described as a language isolate, there are many words that are similar to words in Chinese and Japanese. Since Korea has an extensive history with China and Japan, it would make sense that words in Korean have stemmed from these languages. If someone has some history with Chinese or Japanese it may be easier to learn Korean because of the similarities. Many Korean words are also borrowed from English so it may be easier to understand some Korean words if you understand English.
