Babbel Tower - The Online Compendium of Languages and Cultures

Happy new year everyone!

I know this post came a little late. For the past two weeks, I have been fighting flu and chronic coughs. That phlegm-filled cough left me deaf on my left ear. I am currently trying to recuperate from this ordeal. What a start to this new decade!

Hope and pray I'd get better... 😣🤧🤕

Merry Christmas to all and may your year ahead be ever abundant, fruitful, and filled with successes along the way!

Here's a 🎄"Merry Christmas"🎄 in every language of Europe.
Follow our Instagram www.instagram.com/babbeltower and we will be back in the new year. 🥳🎉🥳

Happy holidays everyone!

Scandinavian languages ​​belong to the North Germanic language family. These languages are Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese.

Korean is the official language of South and North Korea. It is one of the two official languages in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in China. There are around 78 million speakers of the Korean language.

Unlike European languages, Korean does not conjugate verbs using agreements with the subject or noun. Nouns have no gender but verb conjugations depend on the verb tense, aspect, mood, and the social relation between the speaker and the listener(s) (also known as Honorifics).

My first encounter with the Japanese language was when I was a little boy whose eyes were glued to the screen scheduled for a series of non-stop anime. I didn't know what was spoken but I just loved the cartoons. And then, I came across the Korean language when I was in my late teens. At that time, I grew fond of the Korean language because of how it sounded. To me, the melody of the Korean and Japanese language sounds distinct to its uniqueness that intrigued me to become a language nerd.

If you ever had a chance to take a closer look at Korean and Japanese, you may have noticed some similarities between them. However, they are two completely different languages with their unique characteristics. In this article, you’ll understand how Korean and Japanese are both similar in many ways, yet very different.
