Resources for Learning North Korean Dialect - North Korean vs. South Korean - #11

Hello everyone!

Quick update video today with some cool new resources I found recently while learning about North Korea (DPRK) and its language and culture.

I have always been fascinated about Korean and had never really taken the step forward to dive into its grammar and intricacies. Not sure how much I'll learn but it's very cool!

However, being someone who loves lesser-common languages, I wanted to have a niche for my learning so I decided to focus on the dialect spoken in North Korea.

There's not much out there on this language or country itself, and the mysteriousness of it all really attracted me...

I want to learn how these people work and how their government operates, so I can help advocate for their safety and rights perhaps in the future as a diplomat.

Anyway, however I may use this, North Korea is an interesting place and I encourage anyone to check out some documentaries on YouTube to learn more before you judge.

When I decided this I had no idea how difficult it would be to find resources specifically geared towards this country! I did, however, find a few and I wanted to share them with you on this video.

A couple links explained in the video:

"Learn Korean on Your Own" CD by KCC Multimedia out of DPRK @ eBay here

"Learn Korean on Your Own" book one, currently unavailable but here @ Amazon

North Korea Books, an online emporium of material relating to North Korea (the guy who runs it is really nice, I emailed him about my interest and he provided me with some helpful tips)

Anyway, here we go with the video!

Feel free to email me here as always.

Below is the video or you can watch it at this link. Enjoy!
