This study introduced grit as a predictor variable influencing learner’s achievement in the Korean language curriculum. In addition, this study conducted an experiment with 137 Chinese college students studying Korean to determine how the intimacy and trust of the learner towards the teacher affects grit. The following results were confirmed. First, the emotional intimacy, behavioral intimacy, and trust that Korean learners felt about teachers had a significant impact on the effort sustainability factor of grit. Second, for the effect of intimacy that the learner feels towards the teacher on the teacher’s trust, both emotional and behavioral intimacy had a significant effect on trust. This suggests the possibility that intimacy and trust are interrelated and at the same time intimacy is a leading factor over trust. Third, for the effect of intimacy on grit, studies of the mediating effects of confidence show that confidence between emotional intimacy and the effort sustainability factor of grit acts as an incomplete mediator variable. This study was the first to introduce the concept of grit for Korean language learners. The research suggests that learner’s intimacy and trust in teachers affects their level of grit and learner’s affective domain can be developed by external factors of learners. It is also meaningful that this study found out that the role of the Korean teacher can influence the learner’s will and effort from their inner world beyond simply teaching knowledge of Korean.
