There are lots of excellent resources available online for learning
Korean. I've come across so many I want to make a page dedicated to
them.
This
is where I learned 한글! I feel it's a bit empty once you go
beyond 한글, but for learning the alphabet and hearing pronunciation of
it, I think it's a good start!
This
is where I'm learning some of my grammar from. They have a chapter
on 한글 which is worth a gander. There have been claims that this website
is "riddled with errors," so I highly recommend using it with other
resources. For a free site, it's a great resource!
You
can download the whole site in a PDF book format! It's great! This is
where I learned some of the sound change rules. Lessons are divided very
nicely.
If
you're not familiar with (or abhor) Reddit, then skip this one.
Otherwise, this is a great, friendly place to ask for advice, look up
some questions, or just browse through the top posts and find more great
resources.
An English-Korean dictionary.
Flashcards
for your desktop. This is a powerful flashcard program and their
website provides lots of documentation on how to get it set up and
working to its full potential.
Memrise
is also a flashcard based, although it runs in your browser and you
need an account. There are lots of ready-made courses, but you can also
make your own.
Just
like its title says, a better translator. In theory, because many
languages try to translate Japanese to their own language, Google
performs better with Japanese. If you have to use a translator, try this
instead of just English to Korean or Korean to English.
This is a book, but from what I hear it's a
really good
grammar book. There is a free PDF of it floating around online
somewhere, but you can also purchase a legal paperback copy above.
