Learning Korean: Korean Drama Television
As a continuation on my last article on learning the Korean language I would like to add another more entertaining resource to your toolbox. Seemingly a staple in almost all Asian entertainment the drama series holds millions of Koreans on the edge of their seats each week.
Similiar to the American soap opera, Korean dramas offer a large amount of spoken word training. Don’t get excited though, these are not your typical soap operas. They differ from their American counterparts in many ways.
- Production value tends to be higher.
- Limited runs - most shows tend to be 10-16 episodes long.
- Cultural differences.
