 English is international language these days almost people know that language. If you visit to other centuries, you can talk to foreigner in English. If you know English, it is help you for finding a job and making new friends. But learning English is not easy because English and Korean is too different. Anyway Korean is language also some of foreigner learn to Korean it looks like similar to English. Korean has consonant and vowel and consonant many more than vowel like English. On the other hand, Hangeul is made up of 10 vowels and 14 consonants, unlike English. And the Korean alphabet consists of 10 vowels and 14 consonants that are arranged in characters rather than in words. Korean is phonetic alphabet differ from English. And sentence structure of English follow the order subject, verb, and object however Sentence structure of Korean follow the order subject, object, and verb. English word consist vowel+vowel like a Korea but Korean doesn’t consist vowel+vowel. These differences make difficult to learn English.
