Learn the Koran Alphabet – Hangul
An easy way to start learning Korean would be to first study the alphabet, which is referred to as Hangul. This alphabet is much more precise than Romanized Korean. By Learning Hangul, you’ll find that it’s easier to learn Korean. Don’t worry, because the alphabet is fairly simple to learn.

Jump Into the Korean-English Union
When it comes to Korean and the English language, there is a specific union between the two. In a way, it’s kind of like marriage If you think about it. Think of it like this – not too long ago, Korean and English went on a date and they hit it off right then and there. After they went out, they got permission from each side of their families and decided to get married and we can tell you, the ceremony was lovely.
Not to long after the marriage took place, the two decided it was time to have a child. Both the English and Korean wasn’t to pass on the family names, but they couldn’t decide what they would call their baby. Then, they met in the middle and called their little one “Konglish.”
You see, Konglish is what happens when English and Korean get together. Yes, this is a funny story, but it will help you remember what Konglish is. Konglish is a real thing – there are words in Korean that are a mixture of both the English and Korean languages. Those words are, once again, called Konglish.

- Pizza: 피자 (pi-ja)
