Learning Hanja makes learning Korean easier. When learning Korean with only Hangeul, even basic words were difficult for me to memorize since they were just arbitrary sound bytes but Hanja makes me associate them with their meaning
I started studying hanja a few months ago, and my vocabulary has improved dramatically 😂 seriously, I struggled to learn the easiest words like 설명, 서점, 결정 and spent a lot of time trying to memorize them but they sounded just like random syllables to me With Hanja I'm finally not scared of reading Korean anymore 🤧 I think I've learned about 250 characters but I still want to learn a lot more! They are endless lol

I was just sitting down to study for my Hanja exam in 2 days when I got the upload notification ㅋㅋㅋ Thanks TTMIK for reminding me to study more with words than single Hanja characters, I really tend to focus too much on learning the meanings of the single characters than study them in context :)
@@rashmijaiswal6396 I’m studying Koreanology at University and as for Language we have Theory (Grammar & Vokab) classes, Praxis classes to practice pronunciation and conversations and Hanja classes where we learn the origins of Sino(Chinese)-Korean words which are made of Hanja characters. For the Hanja class we have a test in 2 days and we gotta have ~180 Hanja including their pronunciation (음) and meaning (훈) memorized ㅠㅠ
Omg I am so grateful that I am a Chinese in Malaysia, so I know Chinese well. Guys, I really think that if u dunno chinese at all, u should go and study the basic characters in chinese like 人 (person, human) ，食 (food, eat) ，生 (life, live). I found that the more hanja characters you know, the easier for you to enrich your korean vocab. If u know other dialects in Chinese (Hokkien, Cantonese...) these will definitely help too (in terms of listening) ! So, dun feel intimidated by the hanja characters, the basic ones are quite easy to learn and memorize, so everyone, keep it up !!! And.. as always, thank you Yeji 선생님! 💓
Same here I struggled with learning Korean vocab before learning Chinese including radicals of course. Now it's much easier to find the hanja equivalents. As a visionary learner these vocab connections are so important. Also the morphology (make up of the words) logically can be see more when you know a Chinese origin dialect/language. Like for example I haven't studied Chinese in a while but in Chinese you get a big word for example like "heart-attack" and instead of the English meaning where your heart is being attacked it will be like too-fast-heart-beat or something (doubt this is the case) but Korean has some origin words that work like that with both native roots and sino roots.
I'm studying Korean since 3 Years... I didn't know this👁👄👁 I heard from Hanja but I didn't know that it's still used and there are books for foreigners to learn it 😱
You'll only see hanja actually being used in some newspapers and other formal resources. However, hanja can be useful to learn as a lot of Korean words are derived from Chinese characters. I don't think it's a priority though, and often just being aware of this can help - if you see lots of words that are similar in meaning (like with the 인 example, 인간, 노인, 인생, etc.) then you can often deduce the meaning of that character.
Chinese people learn Korean by Chinese characters (hanja ) is so fast It very fast to remember the Korean vocabulary (Hanja was invented by China) Because the 70%Korean vocabulary is from Chinese language.

It's interesting to know that written vocabulary in this book, are almost Japanese. I thought this book is Japanese language textbook? Or I suppose Koreans banned Hanja because of Anti-Japanese Koreans want independent culturally from Japanese influence.
Wow...as a native Chinese speaker, I suddenly realised I found a new way to memorise korean vocab! So I just need to memorise the Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters I already know and I will know a whole bunch of words in Korean? Edit: I actually bought the book and started learning the korean pronunciation of hanja characters. It was really interesting, I learnt many Korean words just scanning through the book. And yes I can read traditional chinese (like enough to read a book written using them), so it wasn't a problem reading the hanja.
@@pepik121 hahaha yeap I can read traditional characters and having learnt Japanese in high school, I can write a decent amount of Kanji, so this approach would be really useful for me.
@@zyrob3435 wow then its quite an advantage i wpuld say... also japanese and korean grammar are very simmilar so you will be able to learn it really fast i think
@@pepik121 Yes, I realised that too :) For me it's much easier to grasp the concept of particles, conjugation and sentence structure in the beginning due to the similarities with Japanese, but I hope I can progress to an advanced level, so I hope reverse engineering from hanja can help me learn the vocabulary faster too haha
I have the TTMIK Hanja book and I love it! I didn't realise that the Naver dictionary had a list of words derived from hanja though! wooow! thanks for the video :)

I have experience studying Japanese, and learning new Korean words by connecting the hanja with kanji is one of my favorite parts about studying Korean! 그래서 한국어의 고유어보다 한자어가 더 쉬워요 ^^
@오엘비스 it means "Sino-Korean words" (words that come from Chinese / have hanja characters associated with them)! As opposed to "native Korean words" (고유어) which don't have hanja.
Chinese characters can have different readings in different country,that is why in the past people have different dialects can communicate with each other by writing

I acquired the book last year but was overwhelmed by the content and thought maybe I don’t need it. However, I would keep getting stuck on words wondering why they are written or used a certain way, then wouldn’t remember them. Learning Hanja gives your mind something to associate each word with and so it becomes easier to remember, recognize and understand when used in different contexts. The video helped me overcome the sudden stress produced by the thought, “Why am I learning Chinese to learn Korean?” I will try it again knowing that it will have great value in my learning journey. Thank you again TTMIK. You make it almost too easy.
This came just in time, I've been wanting to learn more hanja but there aren't really many good resources out there. I didn't know you had a book for it but should have guessed! 😄
Hi ,my name is Razan , I'm from Arab country , thank you thank you thank you for this lessons it's helping me to be more faster with learning Korean language , Actually I like korean because of you thank you 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I am half Japanese so I know hanja (kanji), but how important is knowing hanja when learning Korean? I mean, do they appear in daily life situations? Do native Koreans use hanja to communicate? Can I use hanja to try to communicate in Korea?
you are the best! I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships.
Thanks so much it was helpful, I’m still a beginner but I couldn’t understand the function of hanja, i only knew about it because of words like 교실, 학교, or for example 학교, 학생 I will do a research to study hanja! Thank you so much
Is Hanja one syllable per character and one sound per character with some having just 2 or 3 like in Chinese, or do characters usually have like 4-7 like some Japanese Kanji?
Because Japanese use Kanji also for polysyllabic native Japanese words aka Yamato Kotoba, while Korean use Hanja only for monosyllabic Chinese loanwords.
This was confusing as I don't know any Hanja yet 😂 I'm working through level 2/3 on your website. Is there a level I should be at before I start learning some Hanja? Thank you!
You may not like china, but Chinese Charactors is very useful tool for everyone to understand each other or use it record informations cause it is Sound independent. And tradition chinese characters are beautiful art if you design it in a proper way. and you can create your own words.
HAHAHA... many of these Hanja-based words in Korean are also used in modern written Chinese. My speculation is that, in the early modern era or maybe the fall of the imperial era in East Asia, the use of Classical Chinese was very widespread. In fact, the Japanese continued to write in Classical Chinese up until the mid-20th century, when they started to go completely vernacular. While ancient Classical Chinese was strictly monosyllabic, more recent Classical Chinese included disyllabic/multisyllabic words, and these words and the widespread use of Classical Chinese may explain the permeation into the regional vernaculars.
Yes, person 인 is 人 (rén), while knowledge 인 is 認 (rèn). Korean (and Japanese) dropped the tone differences from their Chinese origins, so they become homophones that you'll have to figure out more from context.
The e-book and likely physical book Handbook of Korean Vocabulary, A Resource for Word Recognition and Comprehension by Miho Choo, William Oâ Grady is good reference guide for hangul/sino-root Korean words that is quite interesting.
Thank you so much for this! I was already thinking about hanja and was wondering, at what point in the Korean language learning process should we focus on learning hanja as well? I am on level 3 right now and don’t know if adding hanja earlier on in the process will make it easier for me to learn Korean or more confusing and overwhelming
I feel good that first I learnt 😂Chinese and in korean we found hanja and japnese we found kanji so Chinese is important if you want to learn korean, japnese Am I right?
I've been learning Mandarin for over 7 years and it's definitely helpful for me when I started learning Japanese & Korean, there are many similar characters :)
It's helpful for building up vocab. Though no need to study it aggressively. If you notice the same syllable used in multiple related words though, that might indicate that the Hanja character is the same so learning it might help with other related words! E.g. 학교 and 학생 both have 학 and have to do with education/learning/studying so you might guess the Hanja characters are the same (they are) and then when you see 학 in new words try to use that to figure out its meaning. E.g. 언어학 = language + study?? (Yep! It's linguistics!)
I know Japanese, so I know many Chinese characters, but if Korean doesn't use those characters in texts I really don't see the use in learning the Korean readings. It really does feel like a waste of time when you're a beginner or intermediate student. At least that's what I feel
Hi guys I just wanted to ask , while writing Hangul, can we include the actual Chinese characters ? I'm planning to inculcate some Korean calligraphy in my artworks. I thought Chinese characters will add even more interest.
Actually, that’s exactly how it worked for the Korean writing system before the ‘80s, mixing Hangul and Hanja, kinda like the Japanese writing system. For example, “실업자가 계속 늘어나서 정부는 대책을 마련하고 있다” would be written as “失業者가 繼續 늘어나서 政府는 對策을 磨鍊하고 있다” back in the old days
God, I’m having flashbacks to learning kanji... which is both a good thing (the hanja for 인 is the same in kanji) and a bad thing 😂 (it’s not easy either way)
If you are interested in learning korean and japnese then trust me you need to go through first Chinese characters then it will be really easy learning korean and japnese As in india we have hindi but we also need to learn Sanskrit same bro.. I have learnt but now I am improving myself
Yes, because Chinese characters are pronounced in four tones and we Chinese people use different writing ways to individual them. But when they were spread to Korean. The tones and writing are lost. Especially now. We can seldom see a Chinese characters in Korean daily life.

HAHAHA... many of these Hanja-based words in Korean are also used in modern written Chinese. My speculation is that, in the early modern era or maybe the fall of the imperial era in East Asia, the use of Classical Chinese was very widespread. In fact, the Japanese continued to write in Classical Chinese up until the mid-20th century, when they started to go completely vernacular. While ancient Classical Chinese was strictly monosyllabic, more recent Classical Chinese included disyllabic/multisyllabic words, and these words and the widespread use of Classical Chinese may explain the permeation into the regional vernaculars.
Oooh, so it's similar actually Hanja, Kanji, and Chinese letters???? I see,
are the hanja character for 인 person and 인 to know different? what is the hanja character for 인 to know?
Yes, person 인 is 人 (rén), while knowledge 인 is 認 (rèn). Korean (and Japanese) dropped the tone differences from their Chinese origins, so they become homophones that you'll have to figure out more from context.
@@doujinflip thank you sm!💓
Is it important to learn Hanja too when learning korean ?
Plz keep teaching. I wanna learn 한자
Ahh....감사합니다 예지 서생님😊
@오엘비스 oh i'm so sorry , thankyou so much😊
I thought 개 was a 'dog' and '물' is water 🙈 I efing need a dictionary ㅋㅋ
개 is dog and 물 is water
물 hanja is 水 수
개 hanja is 犬 견
Thank you for this tips!
The e-book and likely physical book Handbook of Korean Vocabulary, A Resource for Word Recognition and Comprehension by Miho Choo, William Oâ Grady is good reference guide for hangul/sino-root Korean words that is quite interesting.
드디어!!!
Thank you so much for this! I was already thinking about hanja and was wondering, at what point in the Korean language learning process should we focus on learning hanja as well? I am on level 3 right now and don’t know if adding hanja earlier on in the process will make it easier for me to learn Korean or more confusing and overwhelming
감사합니다, 그 영상은 굉장한 도움이 되었어요!
Haha I have a Hanna exam in one week ^^' i know how to study it by now but well timed :)
I feel good that first I learnt 😂Chinese and in korean we found hanja and japnese we found kanji so Chinese is important if you want to learn korean, japnese
Am I right?
I've been learning Mandarin for over 7 years and it's definitely helpful for me when I started learning Japanese & Korean, there are many similar characters :)
A lot like latin roots/suffixes for romance languages
I’m not advanced in Korean so should I learn Hanja?!
Yup, It will be helpful
It's helpful for building up vocab. Though no need to study it aggressively. If you notice the same syllable used in multiple related words though, that might indicate that the Hanja character is the same so learning it might help with other related words! E.g. 학교 and 학생 both have 학 and have to do with education/learning/studying so you might guess the Hanja characters are the same (they are) and then when you see 학 in new words try to use that to figure out its meaning. E.g. 언어학 = language + study?? (Yep! It's linguistics!)
I'm practicing hanja by memorizing Cheonjamun 천자문 千字文 Thousand Character Classics
Awesome :)
Me encantan TTMIK. Siempre tan útil!
Hello,Thank you for helping us learn Korean🌺 Could you maybe explain what the difference between 파이팅 and 화이팅 is?
I think there's no difference. Some Koreans use 화이팅 and others 파이팅, but the meaning is the same.
I know Japanese, so I know many Chinese characters, but if Korean doesn't use those characters in texts I really don't see the use in learning the Korean readings. It really does feel like a waste of time when you're a beginner or intermediate student. At least that's what I feel
extremely helpful!
Thank you!!!
When going to Chinese school finally pays off!
It's interested to know The Hanja world are almost all Japanese. I suppose that's one of the reasons for Anti-Japanese Korean banned using this Hanja.
I'm learning Chinese and Japanese along with Korean. Hanja will be easier for me to learn.
Hi guys I just wanted to ask , while writing Hangul, can we include the actual Chinese characters ? I'm planning to inculcate some Korean calligraphy in my artworks. I thought Chinese characters will add even more interest.
Actually, that’s exactly how it worked for the Korean writing system before the ‘80s, mixing Hangul and Hanja, kinda like the Japanese writing system. For example, “실업자가 계속 늘어나서 정부는 대책을 마련하고 있다” would be written as “失業者가 繼續 늘어나서 政府는 對策을 磨鍊하고 있다” back in the old days
can someone tell me the difference of this 2 verbs
구하다 and 살리다?
God, I’m having flashbacks to learning kanji... which is both a good thing (the hanja for 인 is the same in kanji) and a bad thing 😂 (it’s not easy either way)
好!
If you are interested in learning korean and japnese then trust me you need to go through first Chinese characters then it will be really easy learning korean and japnese
As in india we have hindi but we also need to learn Sanskrit same bro..
I have learnt but now I am improving myself
thank you so much!!!!
I spotted that latest M1 MacBook Air 😊
I know almost 200 한자 due to my school where I'm studying. I love write hanja, but too much words with the same pronunciation 😅
Yes, because Chinese characters are pronounced in four tones and we Chinese people use different writing ways to individual them. But when they were spread to Korean. The tones and writing are lost. Especially now. We can seldom see a Chinese characters in Korean daily life.
