Korean Language

Korean is the native language for about 80 million people, mostly of Korean descent. It is the official and national language of both North Korea and South Korea (geographically Korea), but over the past 74 years of political division (and the isolation of North Korea), the two Koreas have developed language differences. Beyond Korea, the language is a recognized minority language in parts of China, namely Jilin Province, and specifically Yanbian Prefecture and Changbai Country. It is also spoken in parts of the Russian island of Sakhalin and parts of Central Asia by the Koryo-saram.

The Korean language ranks 18th as the most used language in the world. There’s been a notable increase in demand across the countries for learning the language for various good reasons.

The big spike is primarily due to the booming economy, growing relations between Indo-Korea since the 21st century, higher studies opportunities, employment opportunities, business, travel, cultural aspect, etc.
