Language Learning

Been trying to learn some extra new stuffs, since mom has been on korean dramas alot. So might as well go dig n learn some korean so tat i'll be able to understand what they r saying.

Lets take a look at a few sites (cant possible copy everything to my blog :S)

Learning Korean Site 1 - http://www.learnkorean.com/lesson/lesson1.asp
1) SOV language

Korean is classified as an SOV language, which stands for word order. English on the other hand is an SVO language. A subject is the one who acts.
An object is the one who receives the subjects action. For example:

Bob loves Jenny.

Who loves Jenny? Bob does. Who is loved by Bob? Jenny is. In Korean this sentence will be in the the word order:

Bob Jenny loves.


Sounds like Yoda (from Star Wars) speaking style :S
