Although Chinese characters aren't used in everyday life in Korea anymore, they are still crucial to your understanding of the Korean language: with the help of Hanjas, you can easily find patterns in the way Korean words and Chinese idioms (사자성어 — generally 4 syllable sentences made of Chinese characters) are built. Moreover, it can help you with your Korean vocabulary learning, since 70-80% of Korean words have Chinese origins. This post is aimed at intermediate level Korean learners who wish to better their vocabulary skills.
Korean words that come from Chinese (we call them sino-korean words) are usually composed of one or more Chinese characters. In Korean, these characters are all pronounced according to a Korean pronounciation, not Chinese. For example, the character "人", which means "person" in Chinese, is pronounced 인 in Korean. This does not mean that the word for "person" is 인 in Korean — since, as you all know, it's 사람 —, it simply means that when the syllable 인 pops up in a word, you can deduce that the word has something to do with the person, the being. For example, the word 한국인 is composed of the word for Korea, 한국, as well as the Hanja for "person", 인 — you can deduce that 한국인 means "Korean person."
Chinese characters were created thanks to a rule called 육서(六書), literally "Six Writings", which sorts Chinese characters into 6 types. Four of them are classified according to the structure of the character (called 체), meaning the way a character is built graphically. The last two are classified according to their usage (called 용).
These are two exemples of pictograms. Can you recognize the character for "rain" (비 우), with the rain falling on the windows, and the character for "fire" (불 화), representing flames? The drawings from left to right highlight the way the same character changed throughout the centuries. The far left corresponds to the Oracle Bone Script, while the one at the top corresponds to the more simplified version we use now.
Among these, can you guess which one means "above", which one means "under" and which one means "middle"?
On the character on the left, you can see that the small horizontal line is above the long horizontal line: this character means "above", because the smaller line is above the longer line. On the other hand, on the far right character, you can see that the small line is under the long line so, you guessed it, this character means "under." The last character is made up of a square which is cut in the middle by a long line, so it is the character meaning "middle".
Examples of 회의자:
-> 사람 인 人 (person) + 입 구 口 (entrance, gate) = 가둘 수 囚 (person stuck in an enclosure = a prisoner, a convict)
-> 나무 목 木 (tree) + 나무 목 木 + 나무 목 木 = 나무빽빼할 삼 森 (three trees together = forest)
Note: 장인 공 工 means "labor, worker", so you can see the meaning of this component has nothing to do with the reason it is in the character — here, it is used purely for phonetic, not semantic, reasons.
Hanja dictionaries are called 옥편. Let's take a look at the most famous, Naver Hanja Dic (네이버 한자사전):
In the search bar, you can choose to type the way a character is pronounced in Korean, but you can also copy-paste the Chinese character. Once you press enter, you will be able to see all of the Hanjas that correspond to your search.
A Hanja is always written this way : Korean equivalent to the Chinese word (which is called 훈 and corresponds to the meaning of the word) + pronounciation of the character (called 음). On the picture above, we have 사람 (the 훈, the meaning in Korean) followed by 인 (the 음, the way you pronounce the Hanja).
Bellow, you can see the key or radical (부수), which are very important to learn. Next to it, 획수 corresponds to the number of strokes needed to write the character. Right below, if you click on the small arrow-head, you can see the 획순, which is the stroke order (because stroke orders are very important when writing Chinese characters — they are not random). You might also see stroke order written as 필순.
Now, let's click on 사람 인 人. If you scroll down, you will find this: first, in what 육서 it is categorized (some characters have no 육서 written — some you can guess by yourself, others are just not categorized because we just don't know what category to put them in). Here, you can see that 사람 인 人 is a 성형자, meaning it is a drawing of a person. Then, followed by the little explanation, you can see the way its writing has evolved throughout the centuries, and the drawings they give help a lot in remembering the character.
We now know that 인 人 means "person." By knowing that, can you guess the meaning of these words?
-> 인형 (with 형 形 meaning "shape, appearance")
-> 인종 (with 종 種 meaning "race")
-> 거인 (with 거 巨 meaning "large, enormous")
-> 군인 (with 군 軍 meaning "army, military")
-> 노인 (with 노 老 meaning "old")
(Answers: 인형 = doll, 인종 = human race, 거인 = giant, 군인 = soldier, 노인 = old person)

Hey all! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and are on track to have another beautiful week ahead!
Today I'm back with another musical Mondays!
Today's song is just dance perfection! 💃💃💃
Song: Burn The Floor
Artist: Super Junior
Song Submission by: @hwastudies
You have excellent taste in music! This song rocks! Thank you so much for your submission choice! 😀
My Thoughts on the song: This is such a beautiful and classy sounding track. I reckon if you're into ballroom dancing or ballet this would be a perfect track to create an elegant yet spicy dance number to. 10/10 would recommend this song!
Notes: As I am not 100% fluent in Korean yet, there may be some mistakes. If you spot any or a better way to translate a sentence, please lemme know so I can fix it!
Translation notes: I have used a combination of my own practice sentences, Papago assisted translations and Naver dictionary examples. Where sentences are not my own, I have labelled where they are sourced from.
