Korean languageLanguage of Korea, written from the 5th century AD in Chinese characters until the invention of an alphabet by King Sejong 1443. The linguistic affiliations of Korean are unclear, but it may be distantly related to Japanese. The alphabet was discouraged as ‘vulgar letters’ (onmun) and banned by the colonizing Japanese of the early 20th century. After World War II it was revived and called ‘top letters’ (hangul). |

The present study is an initial attempt to empirically investigate the demographic data of Korean language learners. The Korean language press, on the other hand, paints an antipathetic picture of the black victim and her family. A journalist by training, the now 27-year-old Robinson chronicles her adult search for her birth family, a quest that leads her back to Korea, eventually to stay a year on a scholarship to learn the Korean language and culture about which she had been taught nothing. |
