The Korean Language
Korean, the native language of about 80 million people, is the official
language of both North and South Korea. It is also spoken in neighboring
Yanbian, China. There are two standard dialects, Seoul (South Korea) and
P'yongyang (North Korea). Pimsleur's Korean teaches the Seoul dialect of
South Korea.
