However, Korean has important considerations regarding honorifics and cultural nuances. Therefore, when speaking Korean with older people, you need to use appropriate honorifics and language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Korean culture is popular.<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the ways Korean has become popular and accessible to Vietnamese people is through Korean culture, as seen in films, television, and music. In particular, the younger generation loves Korean idols and aspires to learn the language. Whether learning Korean is difficult or easy depends heavily on the learner&#039;s passion. Therefore, Korean is very familiar to many and fosters quick language proficiency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good foundation in English will make learning Korean easier.<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#039;re good at English, it shows your natural aptitude for languages. Therefore, having a good foundation in English also makes pronunciation easier. Some Korean words have similar pronunciation patterns to English words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23106\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23106\" style=\"width: 433px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23106 size-full\" title=\"If you persevere and focus, you can learn Korean very well.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caodangvietmy.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/\uc640\uc774\uc2a4\ud130\ub514.png\" alt=\"N\u1ebfu ki\u00ean tr\u00ec v\u00e0 t\u1eadp trung th\u00ec b\u1ea1n h\u1ecdc ti\u1ebfng H\u00e0n r\u1ea5t t\u1ed1t.\" width=\"433\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caodangvietmy.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/\uc640\uc774\uc2a4\ud130\ub514.png 433w, https:\/\/www.caodangvietmy.edu.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/\uc640\uc774\uc2a4\ud130\ub514-352x260.png 352w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>If you persevere and focus, you can learn Korean very well.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>What makes learning Korean difficult?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to Vietnamese, learning Korean from the very beginning of speaking will also present difficulties.

Because its pictographic writing system is different from the Latin alphabet used in Vietnamese, learners are often confused. Without a solid foundation in the basic alphabet, it&#039;s easy to misinterpret the intended message.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not yet included in the general education curriculum.<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While English is included in the curriculum from grade 6 and is a compulsory foreign language, Korean is not.
