Why Learn Korean?
Korean, the native language of about 80 million people, is the official language of both North and South Korea. It is also spoken in neighboring Yanbian, China. There are two standard dialects, Seoul (South Korea) and P'yongyang (North Korea).
Regulated by the National Institute of Korean Language, Korean is also spoken in China (mostly in the Yaniban Prefecture and Changbai County), along with millions of Korean expats and immigrants in Europe, North America, and elsewhere. In some areas of Western cities like Toronto, London, Los Angeles, and Vancouver, you’ll hear the language being spoken as if you were in Seoul!
Everyone has a unique reason for wanting (or needing) to learn Korean. Maybe you’ve connected with a long-lost relative in the homeland. Perhaps you’d like to learn more about the culture of North and South Korea. Or, you may just want to take on the challenge of learning one of the most commonly spoken languages in the world!
Whatever your reasons, Pimsleur puts Korean courses right at your fingertips, no matter your location. The Pimsleur Method™ is the foundation for you to learn the Korean language. All of our applications and exercises are based on our proprietary method, which uses four main learning components: Core Vocabulary, Graduated Interval Recall, Principle of Anticipation, and Organic Learning.
Learn to speak Korean with Pimsleur, and you’ll open cultural, personal, and educational doors you never thought possible. Once you start to study Korean, you’ll enjoy these benefits and much more:

Speak Korean with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Korean. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Korean language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
