Learn Korean in the Middle East

The Middle East has seen a massive surge in interest in Korean culture, particularly K-Pop, K-Dramas, and Korean food. As a result, many learners from Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Tunisia are eager to learn Korean. However, learning Korean in these regions comes with unique challenges—from limited access to language schools to a lack of accurate study materials.

Luckily, Starbank Daeppang provides a structured, high-quality, and easily accessible way to learn Korean from anywhere! 🚀

1️⃣ How is Korean Different from Arabic-Based Languages? 🧐

Many learners from the Middle East find Korean grammar, pronunciation, and writing system vastly different from Arabic-based languages. Some of the biggest differences include:

📌 Writing System (Hangul vs. Arabic Script)

• Korean uses Hangul (한글), a phonetic alphabet with 14 consonants and 10 vowels.
• Arabic is a script-based language written from right to left, while Korean is written left to right.

📌 Grammar Structure

• Korean follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) structure, whereas Arabic follows a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) structure.
  • 🇰🇷 Korean: “나는 물을 마신다” (I water drink)
  • 🇸🇦 Arabic: “أنا أشرب الماء” (I drink water)

📌 Pronunciation Challenges

• Some Korean sounds don’t exist in Arabic-based languages, making them tricky to pronounce.
  • 🇰🇷 ㄹ (r/l) → Hard for Arabic speakers to distinguish.
  • 🇰🇷 ㅆ (ss) and ㄸ (tt) → Strong consonants that don’t exist in Arabic.

2️⃣ Why is Learning Korean So Hard in the Middle East? 😓

Many Korean learners in the Middle East face difficulties due to a lack of resources, teachers, and structured lessons. Here are the most common struggles:

🚫 No Local Korean Language Schools

• In countries like Iraq, Oman, and Lebanon, finding a Korean language school is nearly impossible.
• Even in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Korean classes are mostly available in major cities only—not in suburban or rural areas.

💰 Expensive Private Lessons

• Korean tutors are rare in the Middle East, and private lessons are too expensive for most students.
• In countries like Kuwait, the UAE, and Qatar, one-on-one Korean lessons can cost $50+ per hour.

📖 Lack of Accurate Study Materials

• Many online Korean courses are not structured properly and lack accurate explanations.
• Free resources often teach incorrect grammar, leading to frustrating learning experiences.

3️⃣ The Problem of Misinformation in Korean Learning ❌🚨

Many Middle Eastern learners struggle with inaccurate study materials from YouTube or unverified language apps.

Common mistakes include:
✔ Using informal Korean in professional settings.
✔ Learning incorrect grammar structures from unreliable sources.
✔ Mispronouncing Korean words due to a lack of native speaker guidance.

5️⃣ How to Understand Korean with Simple Sentences? 📝💡

One of the best ways to understand Korean faster is to compare it to familiar phrases in your native language.

🇮🇷 Iran (Persian)

✔ “안녕하세요?” (Annyeonghaseyo?) → “سلام” (Salaam)
✔ “감사합니다” (Gamsahamnida) → “متشکرم” (Moteshakeram)”

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia (Arabic)

✔ “이것은 얼마입니까?” (Igeoseun eolmaimnikka?) → “كم سعر هذا؟” (Kam se’r hadha?)
✔ “잘 부탁드립니다” (Jal butak deurimnida) → “أرجو مساعدتك” (Arju musa’adatak)

🇦🇪 UAE (Arabic)

✔ “한국어를 배우고 싶어요” (Hangugeo-reul baeugo sipeoyo) → “أريد تعلم الكورية” (Urid ta’allum al-kuriya)
✔ “지금 어디에 있어요?” (Jigeum eodie isseoyo?) → “أين أنت الآن؟” (Ayn anta alan?)

By comparing Korean phrases to their native-language equivalents, learning becomes much easier and more relatable!
