I have prepared a personal guide on how to self study Korean! So, if you are interested in learning Korean, and have no idea where to start, give this a read and hopefully it should give you some encouragement!
I should hopefully keep this guide updated. Updated on: 160521

Learn Korean Masterlist
I’m learning Korean and I bet you’re interested or learning it too. Learning a new language isn’t easy, and it can get quite pricey. So I’ve compiled a list of FREE resources just for you! Good luck on learning Korean!
Websites:
Course type sites:
SNU Click Me
This is my favorite course type website even though I’ve only done two lessons. I’m more of a textbook type person, but I really love this website.
Sogang
Many people like this course or recommend it. I’ve never used it, but there are many good lessons you can use for practicing and learning new words.
KBS Learn Korean
There are two parts. One for beginners and the other for more advanced learners. However, this is more geared towards people traveling to Korea. This is still a great website to use for learning vocabulary.
The course can be viewed in different languages not just English!
Pathway to Korean
They have many units and lessons, I haven’t used it, but I checked it out. Let me know what you think of it!
Berkeley Language: Korean 10
For more advanced/intermediate speakers.
Practice & Reading Sites:
Tip: After learning Korean it is important to read everything! Even if you don’t understand it is good to practice reading and getting used to talking in Korean. Did that make sense?
Indiana Hangul - Has easy vocabulary for each character in the Hangul alphabet
Great for beginners to practice reading! I love this site!
Fresh Korean - worksheets for practicing reading and writing
English Play - Great website to practice reading and learning new vocabulary since their posts are translated in both English and Korean.
Tip: You will have to turn off adblocker to view the posts
The Korean Thoughts - Has a few posts for practicing reading/writing.
KLEC: Pictorials - Good for practicing!
Korean Comics
I love this website. It is so cute and great for beginners. There is even a vocabulary page for the words you might have not known that were mentioned in the comics.
Digital Dialects
If you’re more of a game type of person or just want a fun break from word filled pages, check out this website!
Blog
A blog from another self studying learner who also has many resources linked too!
Naver
Naver is basically the Korean Google. I love it so much, it is way better than google. It is great to practice Korean. I can’t wait ‘till I’m fluent in Korean, so I can actually use my Naver account that is SO pretty.
They also have apps!
Naver Jr
This site is my bestfriend. They have books, games, everything. I love it.
Free Online Textbooks:
Tip: You don’t have to print out the whole textbook, but for the worksheet pages I recommend printing out just those pages (or any other pages you want), so you can actually fill in the problems and visually see the answers, not just in your head.
Tip: If you go on google books and search and (text)book you’re interested in it will show MANY pages as a preview which you can use those pages for examples/practice!
Korean From Zero
This is my FAVORITE resource! I use this for pretty much all my lessons. This textbook is also like a workbook they have many practice problems! They also have a website with the same lessons that are included in the textbook and audio files for pronunciation.
KLEC Textbooks
They have two textbooks. I like these textbooks because it isn’t so serious and filled with boring text. There are cute comics in each lesson, which is great for practicing reading.
Korean Seoul National University Textbook
This is more of a workbook to me which I love. I’d rather fill out a lot of worksheets than read all day! It is slightly older, but it is still amazing!
Links to textbooks
Apps:
Memrise
This is the app I used to learn Hangul! (It is also a website)
Eggbun
Oh I like this app so much, it’s so cute. They give you a few lessons from each chapter, but the rest of the lessons you have to pay from. I recommend this site for beginners who already know Hangul. But check this app out. I love it so much!
Tip: On the front/home page you can see there are flashcards for each lesson. The flashcards include ALL the words that were learned during the lesson. It just won’t have a detailed explanation like the lesson did. But if you’re cheap like me and really like this app, make sure to check out the home page section.
Webtoons
This is great for reading in an enjoyable way! They also have a full English version, where the webtoons are translated.
Tip: Just look up webtoons on the internet and there will be so many sites to practice reading in a fun way!
Pororo
Pororo Flashcards! Sorry I’m still a child.
6000 Words
I live by this app! The cover is very unappealing, but the app is amazing. (The actually content in the app isn’t as unappealing) I really love this app because you can choose which words you want to learn and how you want to learn!
Korean Princess
I don’t know why I haven’t heard of this app before! It is amazing. This app is mostly for those learning Hangul, but it also has vocabulary words!
They also have a Japanese version for those interested in learning Japanese!!
Captain Korean
This is by the same company as Korean Princess, but it is for those who already know Hangul and I love it so much!
Naver Dictionary
You never know when this will come in handy! It also serves as a translator.
Look up 동화 for children’s Korean books
Videos:
Sweet and Tasty TV
I love her videos and she is the only Youtuber I watch for Korean videos. (I’m not much of a video learner type of person.)
Learn 50 Vocab words in a day
I really like using this method to study new words.
Tips for learning Korean
This video was REALLY helpful
Tips:
Use a notebook for all your notes and vocabulary, so you can refer back to them later and have it all in one place.
I like to have loose papers to use for practice and I store them in a folder.
LEARN HANGUL FIRST! (It is actually pretty easy to learn)
Try to have a studying schedule. I have a lot of free time so I study every other day.
Make flashcards. Online and/or offline. If you do offline flashcards keep them together in a ring, and then when you for sure know the word you can through that word away.
Well that’s it for today! Feel free to message me about ANYTHING. Have a good day!
Since I'm planning to study Korean seriously, this might come in handy.
it’s exam season so sit down, revise and have some music in your background!!
chill study with words (for those days with rain, empty coffee cups and oversized sweaters): (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (x)
study + disney (for those days when you need a little sprinkle of pixie dust): (x) (x) (x) (x)
study with class (for those days when you’re searching for the calm before the storm): (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (x)
study + christmas vibes (for those days when you’re looking forward to the most beautiful time of the year): (x) (x)
study like a boss (for those days when you feel energetic and wanting to save the world with the avengers): (x) (x) (x) (x) (x)
Because it's finals week

Can slap Jimin’s butt while looking at the camera
Always tells ARMY he loves them. “ARMY SARANGHABNIDA!!!!!”

He is truly selfless
When he’s not on camera and you hear highpitched screaming it’s most likely coming from him

Here’s 14 seconds of him just drying his hair
Gorgeous side profile. Is gorgeous overall.
Jin picked Hobi to be the person that will treat his wife best - he’s very kind and takes good care of the members
He finds Namjoon’s lost things. (sis: I need me a Hoseok)
Is extremely considerate of his members.
Dancing. It means everything to him and I don’t know how express how much I admire him not only for his skills, but also the fact that he is so humble and striving to improve constantly.

21 Signs You Might Actually Be An Ambivert.
If you don’t feel like an extrovert or an introvert, this might be why.
1. When you’re out in the world, you’re probably not going to be starting conversations with strangers.
2. Generally, you’re always happy to meet new people, but you’ll probably be uncomfortable if you have to do it without any of your existing friends with you.
3. When a topic of interest comes up in conversation, you’re more than happy to talk in great detail about it.
4. But as soon as that’s done, you’ll happily sit listening to the conversation without saying another word.

LEGIT HAHA
You’re called to be a leader in this generation. Jesus is calling you to be a leader. You’re not along for the ride in society. You CAN make a difference and change things, you are not called to follow in your generation, you’re called to lead. You need to be bold and lead..just step out. What you’re doing is really going to shift things. Gods called you to lead nations. Its not enough to have a calling, you have to say yes. Many are called, few are chosen, because only a few say yes. You get chosen by saying yes. Lets lead a whole generation to Jesus. When He calls you, He’s asking for your entire life, how much are you willing to sacrifice? It’s the most hardcore thing in the world to truly follow Jesus. Don’t be worried about offending people. Be bold about standing up for what you believe in. Count the cost, cause Jesus requires everything. Salvation is a free gift but it’ll cost you your entire life. God doesn’t want 10% of your stuff and yourself; he wants EVERYTHING. If your Christianity hasn’t cost you anything, then it’s not worth anything. God doesn’t barter. God shows up and wants everything from you, you need to be willing to lay everything down. Are you saying yes to surrendering your entire life? There’s no negotiating with God. It’s all His, so why are you trying to keep some for yourself? At the end of your life you won’t say that you wish you had lived for yourself, you’ll say that you wished you had given Him more. Jesus is what you get in return for surrendering everything! It doesn’t matter how much you have, you may think it’s not enough, but it is, and Jesus wants all of it. He will impact the multitudes through you, if you’re willing. The foundation of a revivalist is a secret place lifestyle, it’s intimacy with God. You’ve gotta make sure that your foundation is your relationship and intimacy with Him in the secret place. What goes on in the beginning affects the outcome and the final product greatly. The first calling is to simply be with Jesus. - Banning Liebscher
If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer. But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Saviour.
Roy Lessin (via mykingforeverjesuschrist)
Wow!
You’re worth more than the thoughts you hold as chains upon your soul, more than the inadequacy failure sin the insecurities clinging to your footsteps, dragging more weight through each day without end.
You’re more than the doubt choking good within your mind, the anxiety the questions the worries drowning out the truth where you find that you, you’re enough. No amount of shame no amount of wrong can change that.
And when the days become darkened and life becomes bleak, when you try as bravely as you can to push aside fear to reach where He is but only distance you meet, and when pain builds a mountain obliterating hope and all your mistakes are ticking away like a bomb within your chest, guilt a clamp around your throat— know to the very depths of your ever-beating heart that He sees you, He knows you, and He loves you all the same. To Him, you’re enough, you’ll always be enough. Come, bring your sin-stained garments, bring your heavy-laden heart, bring your empty hands. It’s surrender He seeks, not perfection, for the cross is proof: You are enough.
Enough for love, enough for grace, enough for forgiveness. Jesus didn’t die for you to carry lies any longer, and He didn’t suffer only to have sin win but that redemption make us stronger.
You’re enough.
Oh, what a wonder to think that we, though so unworthy, are enough.
– Enough
God has seen our unloveliness—the deep brokenness and rebellion in our hearts—and instead of withdrawing, He pursues us to the beautiful end.
Matt Chandler, The Mingling of Souls (via kvtes)
not all flowers will bloom the way that you do
but all flowers will bloom the way God planned them to
not all storms will break your roof again the way it did last time
but all storms will test our foundation from time to time
not all beauty will be easily beheld through the eyes
but all beauty will be unveiled despite the world’s lies
what i’m trying to say is that
your growth, your beauty, and your greatness
should never be compared to others'
we are all growing
regardless of our pace;
just look at what’s ahead:
the finished work of the Cross and the victorious race
