K-pop fuels interest in Korean language.

Summary

Prof. Sohn Ho-min is teaching Korean at the University of Hawaii. When he started teach Korean, only 30 students attended the class. But now 480 students are attending. Because they are listening K-pop and Korea cultures. “The popularity of K-pop is unbelievable and if that’s what gets the students to step into the classroom, that’s great for me,” (Noh Hyungi, 2011)

Linguistically speaking, Korean is difficult languages for English speakers to learn. Also two languages have absolutely nothing in common.

However, people are still interested in Korean drama and k-pop so they want to learn Korean

Response

I’m very proud of Korean I thought one of excellent language. I know it is not easy to learn for English speaker. I think we would publish easier books than before.
