Biggest challenges for Korean speakers learning English

If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down Korean speakers when they learn English.

  • Korean is SOV — the verb always comes last, completely opposite to English
  • Korean has extensive honorific speech levels that English does not have
  • English consonant clusters at the end of words are very difficult for Korean speakers
  • Korean particles mark grammatical roles — English relies on word order instead

Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
