Cebu Multilingual Language Instruction School

Korean is the sixteenth most widely spoken language in the world, spoken by more than 78 million people  The number of Korean language learners has remarkably grown in the past several decades beyond the Korean peninsula and overseas Korean communities, a growth due partly to South Korea’s increasingly visible roles in the world economy, technological innovation, and global popular culture.

​The grammar and phonetics of Korean are quite different from those of most European languages. The Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was originally invented by King Sejong in the 15th century. Hangeul is a phonetic alphabet with 24 letters and is very easy to read and write.
