• A peek into the culture

For hundreds of years, the lower-class Koreans didn’t have any defined script and most of them were illiterate. The educated lot used to write in classical Chinese characters. It was only in 1443, the ‘King Sejong the Great invented the Korean alphabet named Hangul. After his promulgation of Hangul, the communication, between people with little or no education, became fluid. Hence learning Korean will make you appreciate the euphoric culture and history of Korea.
