Any Korean/Japanese language learners out there??

[-GodsGirl-]

This isn't really a general hobby (I don't think). But there's not a section for language, so I wasn't sure where to put this I've been self studying Korean and Japanese for a couple of months. Language is something I'm very interested in!

I was curious if there's any other Korean and Japanese language learners here in Christian forums. Or anyone who would like to help a girl out??!

Thanks for your time !!

Have you obtained a Bible in either Japanese or Korean? Some passages - such as John chapter 1 - are often quite straightforward to follow in various languages.

Attending Korean or Japanese language Bible studies can be helpful also.

YW; it's a good way - among others - to increase fluency.

I just started studying Korean recently. I tried Japanese for a while too, and I seemed to be good at it, but I realized there was no reason for me to learn haha. I know way more Koreans and have no real purpose for Japanese except to understand the anime I haven't been watching.

I also tried to start some Hebrew and would like an interlinear Bible for that, but I am actually finding Korean easier.

Hi; the Hankul script is quite phonetic, I believe...

Yes, the Hebrew alphabet is very confusing. Without accents, ב might be a v or a b sound, but ו is also condidered a v, except it usually seems to make more of an “o” sound. ש might be s or sh, but ס is also an s sound. Most confusing is probably all the letters that make k or kh sounds.

I also find Eastern languages easier to pronounce for some reason and so far the grammar hasn’t thrown me off. I was never as good at pronouncing european languages.

So are you from an Asian background?

The Hebrew - like Arabic - can be written with or without vowel pointing.

YW. It's good to be able to look at Bible passages in different languages side by side.
