Abstract

This article discusses the method of "lexical guessing" in language learning for students studying Vietnamese and Korean as the second and third languages. However, the suggested method does not receive due attention in teaching foreign languages. Thus, in this study, we attempted to unleash the potential of this method in the process of determining the meaning of words belonging to the semantic field “person” borrowed from the Chinese language “人” in Vietnamese “ngườ i” and Korean “인”.
