Korean language is called Hangul. Why did Hangul be made? Now we learn about Hangul.
King Sejong has made Hangul in Chosun Dynasty to let poor people reduce crimes because he thought they can read a book and can know low so that they will not do crimes.
Korea has 10 vowel and 14 consonant. Most koreans can make 1904 sound by using Hangul.
The basic form of a Korean sentence is Subject Object Verb. In a standard translation of "I'm going to the store to buy some food", the Korean order would be *"I food to-buy in-order-to store-to going-am."
There are no fewer than 7 verb speech levels in Korean. The highest 5 levels use final verb endings and are generally grouped together as jondaemal, while the lowest 2 levels (haeyoche and haeche) use non-final endings and are called (banmal, "half-words") in Korean.

Fascinating! You really broke it done so that I could understand. Understanding the structure of the Korean language could help me become a better teacher.
