Introduction
[edit | edit source]This section covers the terms related to religion and encourage the student to speak about his/her religious beliefs using the Korean language. When learning about religion in the Korean language, there are some important factors to consider. First of all, there are 7 different speech levels in the Korean language accompanied by a set of honorific forms for each speech level. In the Korean Bible, the translators use the Hasoseoche (하소서체) form for many of the verses. For daily speech, the reader should use one of the lower speech forms instead.
The second thing that the reader needs to do is be prepared to learn the hanja for many of the words used in religious texts. If the reader learns a few hanja every week, that reader will be able to be able to learn the vocabulary more quickly. The hanja are used in the mixed script Korean Bible, 백팔대참회문, as well as some other Korean religious texts.
