Language Tips

When learning Korean, the first real challenge isn’t grammar or vocabulary.
It’s realizing that the way you end a sentence can completely change how people see you.
Korean has two major speaking styles: banmal (informal speech) and jondaetmal (formal/polite speech).

At a glance, they might seem like small differences—just a few syllables at the end of a sentence.
But in Korean culture, those syllables signal respect, closeness, and even social status.
