The Problem

“Once you understand the Korean language I speak, you will be able to learn about things more deeply, and you will come to possess knowledge that is much more valuable than what you understand at the present time. Since learning in this way is much more important than anything else, we come to the conclusion that this is the way it should be.”

– Sun Myung Moon 1974.11.10 (“One Language” Cheon Seong Gyeong, 1547)

The question often enters my mind, “Why should I even bother with writing this book?” I then proceed to answer, “Well, because I see a problem.”

Although True Parents have endlessly emphasized (and reemphasized) the importance of learning Korean, many Unificationists have had much difficulty learning the language and comprehending True Parents’ words. I’ve met with numerous Unificationists worldwide who desperately want to learn Korea, but they neither have the time nor resources to make it happen. It’s not anyone’s fault, there just wasn’t much focus on learning Korean for Unificationists with specific goals. In fact, this is the first book that offers an insightful, structured, and detailed process for learning True Parents’ language in a short time frame of 40 days.

There is yet another problem! A clear goal has never been set!

Let me elaborate.

While researching True Parents’ speeches, particularly where they talk about the importance of Korean learning, I came to a profound realization: The goal for learning Korean is not clear! True Parents have endlessly emphasized the necessity of learning Korean, but to what extent are we supposed to learn it? And HOW are we supposed to learn it? There is no clear GOAL!

Simply put, we need to establish a clear goal for Korean learning before even getting started. Here’s a short background story to get us started:

While studying abroad in Japan in 2012, I only had one GOAL in mind: to sound like a native Japanese speaker within 2 months. Sounds hard, but I did it, and I was proud of it. The process involved 2 simple steps: (1) meeting as many new people as possible using the target language, and (2) focusing on mastering key phrases commonly used in the target language (Japanese). I succeeded in my quest to Japan because these two goals are specific enough to achieve.

Similar to the above story, the process of understanding True Parents’ language through a specific set of goals and a practical process is a similar technique we will implement.  

When we set clear goals and make a clear process, there is no room for disappointment and failure. Only a feeling of self-achievement remains.

So Then, What’s Our Goal?

There are four specific goals and processes for learning True Parents' language that are outlined in the book.
