The Korean language

sermonindex Sep 3, 2016

as some of my brothers and sisters know, when I was a mere lad of 17, in the US Navy, I was trained for 9 months in the Korean language, 5 days a week, 9 hours a day, and almost 40(!) year later, Praise God!, I STILL can read and write...AND speak in Korean (with accent)....however since the language training was military, I CANNOT speak or understand everyday civilian Korean.

13 years ago, a Godly Korean pastor prophesied to me, forthtelling....and due to my fleshly failings.......I'll let the rest of that just peter out into "dots".........because that's between the LORD and me.

Here's my question to the Body of Christ at SI: does any saint KNOW of a course of instruction in Korean, that is the finest, that I may spend ...say ...8 months refurbishing my Korean language skills into absolute fluency?

I know their is Berlitz, or Rosetta Stone, etc.....and some may say "just go", but wisdom and the Holy Spirit, lead me to know I need to do that refurbishment HERE, before I am called.

I will never "despise" opinions, but i'm looking for those dear saints who have experience learning another language VIA a course of study, OR those saints who have been to Korea....I spent three years there as a teen age US Navy linguist, but OBVIOUSLY my onus was not on Jesus.

God grace and mercy be with you all, neil

Dear Neil,

How interesting your story is to me!
I am Korean and lived nearly 30 years before married to Australian man. Perhaps my English wouldn't be perfect but I will try.

반갑습니다. 한국 말 쉽지 않은데 열심히 공부 했나 보네요.

I tried to teach my children (age 17, 15, 8 years) Korean and found there is not much information out there (internet).
I don't know where you live or how good your Korean is but best way will be finding Korean community. Most immigrated Korean live as community which would have Korean school or a tutor (probably for young children) but you could connect with some of teachers there.

And also many young Korean live as English language students in English speaking countries.
They will love the idea which you can teach English and they can teach you Korean.
If there is anything I can help you please let me know.
All the best with your search.
May our Lord bless you and your vision.
Annie

You may be able to come to Korea for a year and study at a university while living with some brethren. You could get total immersion and practice Christian Korean.

Is there a difference between the language in North and South Korea?

If my mind were more perfected, I would relish a gift of languages...

...If my heart were more perfected, I would master the languages of North Korea and English and risk my life (not as a missionary, but even more powerful) in application for a job in a North Korean prison as a guard...to smuggle in God's Word and comfort to the Christian persecuted prisoners...

Can you imagine a calling like that?!?

Love-in-Christ
