Top Korean Tutors in New York NY Area

The Korean language boasts 78 million speakers and has a fascinating history. Although it was originally written with a variation of the Chinese alphabet, by the 15th century, a new and unique national writing system was developed. However, it was only recently—in the 20th century—that that usage spread throughout North and South Korea. Today, with tensions running high in the two countries, and the Western world eager to help stabilize the divided region, learning to speak Korean is just as important as it was in 1950. For those pursuing careers in international relations and diplomacy, Korean language studies are a great way to engage directly with a turbulent geopolitical scene. You can also supplement your coursework in history and geography—and the dynastic chronology of East Asia, specifically—with a newfound understanding of the Korean language. For the art history student, both North and South Korea have spawned important artists. In fact, in 1998, the Metropolitan Museum in New York City established a permanent collection of Korean art, which includes artifacts, sculpture and landscape painting. Although Korean art is one of the lesser-known influencers of East Asian arts and culture, attention to it has grown tremendously among art historians—as is evidenced by the Met’s undertaking. Those interested in East Asian religion, and in Buddhism or Shamanism in particular, will find that Korean texts have much to offer, as well. Enroll with one of our tutors today, and begin to enrich your knowledge of the region and its complexities.
