As the world is becoming
globalization, it is important to use and know other country’s language. Many Korean
people want to acquire second language to communicate a lot of other country’s
people and have competitiveness to the globalization world so it is trend that they
bring their children to the second language academy when they are young.
However, even though we live in the globalization world, Korea should not have
more than one official language because the illiterate rates are low, it causes
to waste of money and it lead to threaten the language of its country.
One reason that Korea should not have more than one official language is that Korea has few
illiterate people. According to the research, more than 95 percentages in the
Korean people can read the Korean language. If the illiterate rates had been
higher, the Korean government should have think about additional official
language because it is
Another reason that Korea should
not have more than one official language is wasting of money. While having another
official language may be helpful for non-Korean people living in Korea to ease pressure
to acquire hard information, they immediately should have in mind that it is
not easy for them to live other country to gain useful information like finding
official documents that everybody in Korea would be required. In addition, it will
be a lot of spending money to add another official language on official documents.
The necessary documents to another people immediately wrote in other language
so it can waste of money if the Korean government orders to write additional
language on all of documents.
Finally, the reason that Korea should not have more than one official language is that it causes the Korean official
language, Han Geul, to threaten. Adapting other official language may force the
nature of own country to be lost because native language has respective history,
emotion and culture and represents respective country. For example, Korea has a lot of words derived from the ancestor's wisdom. Millstone using for mixing food has a handle to haul around and the name of handle is Eocheoguni. If millstone do not have the Eocheoguni, we cannot do everything and we feel ridiculous with the handle disppearing.So when the Korean people face the ridiculous and stupid case, they used to say that it has no Eocheoguni. Likethis, language have their culture. So having another official language finally might conquer the native language.
The fact that the illiterate rates
are low and that it causes to threaten the nature of its country and it leads to waste of money
will prevent Korea from having another official language. As K-pop culture is growing
more and more and many non-Korean people would like to learn the Korean
language, it would be efficient for Korea to provide additional official language
on signs.
I definitely agree with your opinion. Actually, we are busy enough to learn only English... hahaha.. Also, I didn't think about the high rates of the literate in Korea. If the fact that Korea has few illiterate people is true, Korea doesn't have to designate another official langauge, like you said.
답글삭제I haven't thought that additional language would threaten Hangeul before I read your post. I agree with that opinion. If another language is adopted, it can make the survival of Hangeul dangerous.
답글삭제Jeong ui jin, thanks for reading my writing. I think we both think about using English or using only Korean. I also agree a little bit about using second language with English. In Korea, most of children try to learn second language so ,without using second language, we immediately use English to the various sides. In addition, We can notice the literate rates in Korea to some extend because we rarely see the illiterate people.
답글삭제Yoon Joung, thanks for reading my writing. As you note, if another language is adapted, it can lead the survival of Hangeul to dangerous.
