The Science of HanGhoul

Studies have shown1 that killing the undead is the single most effective way to learn a foreign language.  Nothing else comes close to giving you the language proficiency achieved by blowing the heads off zombies—not even the controversial Memory Helmet2. The Korean language in particular is especially well-suited to this approach due to the distaste the undead have for its easy-to-learn characters.


The Proof is in the Pudding3

We've assembled mounds of data showing the effectiveness of HanGhoul.  Just look at this graph:


The red bar is clearly way higher than the green one.  And look at that yellow one!  It's just pathetic, really!  Why is it even on there?  If you're not a visual person, you can just read the numbers out loud.  The ones that take longer to say are the bigger ones.


Neurillogical Evidence

Brain scientists have determined that the language learning centers of the brain are closely linked to the area of the brain that controls our emotional response to the undead, by some weird (and undoubtedly icky) thing called the corpse callosum.  The annoyance we feel upon encountering a zombie, together with the subsequent satisfaction we feel after exploding its body with a shotgun, or perhaps bludgeoning it with a blunt instrument, serves to enhance our language acquisition and recall by a full 43%. Moreover, brainologists have recently discovered a region of the brain, called the mentecular cerbex, which has as its exclusive purpose the storing of words learned through zombie terrorizing!  It's common knowledge that we only use 3% of our brains—now, with HanGhoul, you can increase that to a whopping 6%!4


Trust the Experts

Professor Gall (a bit close to "ghoul", hmmm) from a big important university in France had this to say about HanGhoul in the prestigious periodical The Paris Business Review5:

Ce jeu est le plus grand fromage que j'ai jamais goûté.  C'est un dauphin efficace pour sucer mots et éclater plaque.  Vraiment, ma planète doit désirer ardemment pour moi.

I don't know what that means but clearly this man knows what he's talking about.


The Game with Hearts

We hope you will enjoy HanGhoul with your whole family.  We have worked very hard with close attenton to detail to provide you with a product that will aid not only in learning the Korean language but also in spreading awareness of the threat the undead pose to us today.  Of course, they still walk among us.  We urge you to stay safe and be quite vigilant—no ... extremely vigilant.  If you suspect someone of being a zombie, it's best to bash their head in when they aren't looking, before they have a chance to terrorize your loved ones6.  With your help, we can rid the world of these bloodsucking undead, and then turn our attention to whatever other little problems humanity might still have.

Fighting!  Learning!

3 What does this mean?  What kind of pudding is it?  There must have been a famous case in London once, where a detective arrived at a house on a stormy night, walked into a room full of tense people, and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, the proof is in the pudding!"  There was pudding on the table, I forgot to mention that.
4 This percentage is dependent on the size of the mentecular cerbex region, which varies from person to person.  On average, it is 3% of the human brain; in Koreans, the size is generally 7%.  A man in New Zealand was found to have a mentecular cerbex which comprised nearly 42% of his brain, but unfortunately he was mute and rather ugly.

6 Remember, mothers cannot become zombies, so if you suspect your mother it's probably because she has a viral infection or something.  And don't go bashing heads in willy-nilly.  You should study a a suspected zombie's behavior secretly for at least 10 seconds before maiming him as brutally as possible.
