Happy Hangul Day!
Today is Hangul Day 한글날, a holiday in South Korea to celebrate the Korean alphabet.
It is a celebration of the birth of the Korean alphabet in 1443, initiated by the ruling King Sejong. Before that Koreans wrote mainly with traditional Chinese characters which they call “Hanja”. Due to the difficulty of Hanja, writing was confined mainly to the social elites, leaving the masses illiterate. The Korean words used today, Hagul, which some called, in jest, a network of circles and lines, make it easier to learn and it was how King Sejong promoted literacy among the common folks.
Have you tried to learn Korean? How many of our sisters can read and write Hangul?
Me, unfortunately, I don’t have the talent for languages. I tried learning Korean but haven’t gotten anywhere! So Oppa Park Sihoo-ssi, please bear with me, I think better you learn English than I do Hangul! And your English has been improving! Love it when you post Instagram in English! Keep it up, yah!
Nevertheless, I enjoy listening to, though not necessarily understanding Korean. It is a lovely language!
Park Sihoo-ssi and our Korean sisters, “Happy Hangul Day”! ♥
快乐韩文节
今天是韩国的韩文节한글날,特别设置来庆祝韩国字母的创造。
朝国的字母是在1443年诞生,是由执政的世宗王发起的。在此之前,韩国人主要使用繁体中文字“汉字”写字。“汉字”不容易学,所以主要只是韩国上流两班子孙才会用,而群众则是文盲。如今使用的韩语文,有些人开玩笑的称它为圈子和线网,让学习韩文更容易。这就是世宗王如何提高普通老百姓识字能力的方式。
姐妹们可否学过韩语?我们当中有多少姐妹可以读写韩文的?
我没有语言天份。虽然尝试过学习韩语,但是怎么也没能记住!因此,偶吧Oppa施厚君,请多多包涵,有其我学习韩语,不如你学习英语更好!而且可看到,最近你的英文水平正在提升!非常喜欢你以英文发布Instagram贴子!请继续!
尽管不了解韩文,但我还是特别喜欢听韩语。这是一门美丽的语言!
施厚君与在韩国的姐妹们“韩文节快乐”!♥
