Requirements
Hi everyone, and welcome to my latest class on formal language in Korean.
This course is all about learning how we use either informal or formal language, depending on who we’re speaking to. As well as learning how we use informal and formal language, we’ll also take a deep dive into the Korean culture so that you have better awareness of why there are different levels of formality, and how we use different levels of formality depending on who we speak to.
This course has three core units
1. Hierarchy in Korea
In this unit, you will learn how hierarchy is established in different settings, such as in social, families, school and at work.
2. Honorific Language
In this unit, you will learn about different levels of formality, and different kinds of honorific nouns and verbs. You will also learn how we conjugate verbs into honorific forms.
3. Honorific Language in Context
In this unit, you will learn about how we use informal and formal language in different situations, such as saying goodbye, talking about asking questions, etc.
Only prerequisite for this course is that you should have a working knowledge of Hangul and some basic awareness of Korean sentence structure.
Hope to see you in the lessons!
