Free Korean Learning Courses! : Part 1

-> These are some free resources I used or heard about a lot to learn Korean and what they include, there's probably way more! I'll make more parts in the future. There's also ratings and pesonal notes about each one, but again they're 'personal' so it might not be the same for everyone! That's why you should always try it yourself first.

-> These resources are or were fully free when I used them, if anything changed and they're no longer free I do not take any responsibility for possible accidental purchases, I recommend to always check first before processing with it.

Here we go:

GoodJobKorean — Full free Hangul Course, 12 Lessons, Videos (with pronunciation, etc) + Pdf Practice sheets (with some vocabulary) + Quizes to see if you understood each lesson.

Rating: 100/10 I tried and loved it, easy to understand and explained nicely. Really useful for beginners learning hangul!

A/N: You may have to rebuy it after a month (not sure because I finished it in less then a month and never logged back in) but It's still free (if not you can always just make another account to get it free again)

GoldenKeyKorean: Free Hangul course, pronunciation + 2H long master course (advanced and basic levels) with 2 pdf books

Rating: I personally did not try this one, but I'm pretty sure it's fully free (at least that's what I've seen), but he often does limited editions/limited time special free courses so it's better to check if the offer is still active and follow his instagram for future updates and courses.

Now Korean Class: Fully free 9 Korean courses with different levels (1-9) with multiple videos for each, explains sentence structures, grammar, counters, numbers, and way more.

Rating: 100/10, It really is free, multiple levels, sooo many different things to learn I absolutely loved it!!

A/N: You just have to rebuy it after a month but I'm pretty sure it's still free (if not you can always just make another account to get it free again). I recently lost acess to it, idk why I think my phone is lagging... It tells me something went wrong to try again later, lol, just in case some content changed etc I wouldn't know.

Koldoristudy: 3 different Free Korean PDF study sheets, 1 Hangul, 1 Vocabulary and 1 winter study, includes Grammar, stroke order guides and syllable blocks,

Rating: 10/10 Loved it, I thought it would be just some pdf files to boringly write hangul/words but It's actually way more! it explains grammar and some useful language rules!

Talk to me in korean: Multiple free podcasts on different platforms + PDF with grammar and vocabulary explained for different levels of learners, 7 days free trial with possible cancelation

Rating: 9/10 It's really good, I'm just not a big fan of podcasts as I have a short attention spawn LOL. I personally didn't try the 7-days free trial but they do have LOTS of different lessons and videos that seem to be amazing and useful.

A/N: personally I find their website really confusing, to make things easier you can try things like just typing "Talk To me In korean (Pdf level _)" on google and the first link should be the free pdf file, etc etc.

Loescen Learn Korean Website: Free Interactive web-based learning, important vocabulary, pronunciation beginner to intermediate level, basic conversation courses and dialogues

Rating: 8/10, so good!! It surprised me, I just wish it went more in deep about things like sentence structures and grammar instead of blindly learning dialogue lines or words without breaking them into steps for deeper understanding of the language.

A/N: works for other languages too!!

Live Lingua: Multiple free ebooks and audio files lessons, grammar, vocabulary, hangul, etc, beginner to advanced,

Rating: 9/10 Covers up a lot of different things like I said, grammar, vocabulary, etc etc, but AGAIN each course covers many subjects and it quickly feels heavy and too long/complicated/takes too much time (personally for me, as an individual with ADHD)

How to study korean: LOTS of grammar and vocabulary, beginners to advanced, multiple lessons, linked YT videos to reinforce lessons, PDFs, etc

Rating: 100/10 explains really well, SO MUCH STUFF, different levels, it's really awesome! Lessons are available in multiple languages and not just English!! However again I find it a bit intimidating as it really has LOTS of things to learn which make it seem hard and heavy...

A/N: Personally I find the website complicated to navigate 😭 just type "how to study korean lesson _" for easier access if you want and It should be the top results

Udemy TOPIK grammar through 100 patters: TOPIK vocabulary, grammar and conversations, 100 grammatical patters koreans use a lot

Rating: 8/10 really good, well explained, but again personally it feels pretty heavy and long, videos in Korean with English subtitles, however there are no English subtitles for "example sentences" which sucks, you need to know some basic vocabulary to really understand the example sentences used there.

Tomi Korean: Free PDF with 430 basic korean vocabulary (words, verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc) with audio files, free PDF Worksheet for hangul learning

Rating: 8/0 Love it, really nice for useful vocabulary but you'll have to willingly study the words cause the pdf only makes you write it once and it's really just Korean-English translations, but it has images so its good for visual learners too! Personally I also found it takes a lot of storage to download everything lol.

A/N: I did not check the hangul worksheet as I can already write and read hangul but little personal opinion/tip; I think GoodJobKorean is the best option to learn Hangul here, specially compared to this one. Yes I did not try this Hangul Worksheet but I believe GoodJobKorean offers more variated content and help (videos, quizes, etc) than what a PDF sheet has to offer, that's my opinion.

That's all so far!

Many of these courses have social media accounts where they post different content and tricks to learn, I'll be making a post about those in the future too!!

If anything changed since I first used these resources or if there's any misinformation in this post, please let me know!

6.25.2026 — 처음 배웠을 때보다 오늘 갑자기 ”~게“ 문법이 정말 복잡해졌어요. 선생님이 “이거 그냥 안 써도 돼”라고 말씀하셨어요 ㅋㅋ. 그래도 오늘도 너무 재미있었어요. 모든 학생들 재미있고 좀 이상하고 열심히 공부하는 사람이에요. 많이 많이 한국어 선생님이 있었는데 아마도 효빈원 선생님이 저의 제일 한국어 선생님이에요. 정말 재미있고 열심히 가르치는 선생님이에요. 수업이 있을 때 저는 갑자기 행복해지고 웃어요. 진심으로 효빈원 선생님께 너무 감사해요. 궁금하면 효빈원 선생님은 KCCLA하고 University of Pennsylvania에 있어요.

~지다 Guide (To Become/Changes)

~지다 is added to adjective verbs to mean something became this way.

It is the difference between (1) the weather is nice and (2) the weather became nice.

It attaches to adjectives, not action verbs.

Conjugate the verb to the 요 form, remove 요, and add ~지다. Any tense or form changes need to be made to ~지다 only.

예:

재미있다 → 재미있 어지다 → “to become fun”

춥다 → 추 워지다 → “to become cold”

편하다 → 편해지다 → “to become comfortable”

Various tense/form examples (not comprehensive):

Present (change in progress or a change happening now)

따뜻하다 → 따뜻해져요 = becomes warm

조용하다 → 조용해져요 = becomes quiet

*In English, we wouldn’t say "it becomes quiet" in this sense. We would say something like "it is becoming quiet" or "it has become quiet (just now)." Really, the present tense direct English translation is a bit off. When in doubt, it is usually the past tense that makes the most sense if you are trying to talk about a change.

Past (Change is completed)

밝다 → 밝아졌어요 = became bright

많다 --> 많아졌어요 = increased

Future

예쁘다 --> 예뻐질 거예요 = will become pretty

부드럽다 → 부드러워질 거예요 = will become soft

Progressive

강하다 → 강해지고 있어요 = is becoming strong

많아지고 있어요 = is increasing

Intention / plan

예뻐지려고 해요 = trying to become prettier

빠르다 → 빨라지려고 해요 = trying to become fast

Probable / guess / "I think..."

예뻐질 것 같아요 = It seems like she’ll become prettier

많아질 것 같아요 = It seems like it will increase

Desire

예뻐지고 싶어요 = I want to become pretty

편해지고 싶어요 = I want to become comfortable (FYI 많다 is a bit odd in this form, that is why this is a different verb)

Formal Conjugation

Present: 예뻐집니다 / 많아집니다 Past: 예뻐졌습니다 / 많아졌습니다 Future: 예뻐질 것입니다 / 많아질 것입니다

Sentences~

방이 조용해져요. The room is becoming quiet.

길이 막혀서 도로가 복잡해졌어요. Because of traffic, the road became crowded.

하늘이 어두워지고 있어요. The sky is getting dark.

요즘 한국어가 조금 쉬워졌어요. These days, Korean has become a little easier.

친구들이 더 친절해졌어요. My friends became kinder.

*Sometimes ~지다 is added to active verbs to make them passive, but that is a different grammar point. 😭
