Mona Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Mango Languages offers Korean and it is available online through some libraries for free. We will be studying Korean this year using Talk to Me in Korean books. http://talktomeinkorean.com They also have a YouTube channel, so you can get to know them and the way they teach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mona Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I just thought of another one. http://koreanfromzero.com We haven't used this one, but it just came to mind. It's the sister site to Japanese from zero. Edited August 21, 2017 by Mona 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mona Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 We have the first set of these books, but I have no idea what the pacing should be. I haven't scheduled it out yet either, but I do know we will be starting with Hangeul Master to learn the Korean alphabet so we won't have to rely on romanization. I have several resources for learning Korean and need to sit down and start planning what we will be doing each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephinsocal Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 No firsthand experience, but a friend liked BYU's Korean courses: is.byu.edu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Fyi, dd my duolingo groupie ;) tells me that she thinks Korean will be released relatively soon on duolingo. It's in progress and fairly close to completion. She believes it will only be available on the app. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Using Mango free from the library. Korean from Zero book and also Learning Korean with a Smile (a book about Hangeul) And then we are also watching Korean dramas and variety shows because watching people actually speak the language is a great way to pick up pronunciation and vocabulary. And we also refer to the Talk to Me in Korean videos. We just started and are working on basic vocabulary & the alphabet although I've been learning through osmosis for several years now.

Kareni Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Recopying an old post from years ago ~ My daughter took Korean at college. The text her class used first semester was: Integrated Korean: Beginning 1, 2nd Edition. There is also a workbook: Integrated Korean Workbook: Beginning 1, 2nd Edition (Klear Textbooks in Korean Language).My daughter dabbled with the Korean Pimsleur program before taking a formal Korean class. My husband began teaching himself Korean. He used: Teach Yourself Korean: A Complete Course. I believe there is a newer edition. He did get to the point where he really needed someone who could answer his questions. He's currently taking a class. You might check if there are any Korean churches in your area. We've learned of one nearby that offers free Korean classes on Saturdays. Also, something to keep in mind for down the road ~ National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cave canem Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Two of my children took high school Korean through the Fairfax County (Virginia) Virtual Campus. It is expensive for out-of-staters. IIRC, the classes meet once per week and three years of Korean are offered. The lower level was packed with heritage speakers who already could speak Korean. We had to find a local proctor for written exams in December and June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
