In November 2005 Gerry Bevers posted a list of Korean slang. I have reformatted it for printing and am making it available for download - I asked Gerry first and he had no issues with that.

Korean Slang MSword and Korean Slang PDF.

I’ve also added this to the download page.

Slightly New Korean Resource

Alright, there’s so many sources out there for people studying Korean on a beginner basis, but what about those that already have a firm and well understood grasp of the language?  From there it almost always seems like we are on our own.  Here at the Defense Language Institute, they have published a website for students and others to continue sustainment training in their target languages.  Unfortunately for many, only major languages are available, but fortunate for us, Korean is one of those.

오디오 북, 한국말로

I’m starting to prepare for Korean lessons again. This coming December I’ll be enrolling at Sogang’s Korean language program - I am not sure what level I’ll be but probably lower than I would like. Anyhow I’m going to be picking up an MP3 player in the next couple of weeks and want to use it primarily for listening to Korean. I’ve looked at the bookstores but the only audio books I was able to find were in English. If anyone knows where I could find a Korean audio book I’d be very grateful. Preferably something that is at a lower level (think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing) I don’t mean audio translations into Korean of those books, but rather original Korean stories at that level in audio book. (BTW both of the prior books are available in English audiobook format).

If I am unable to find, audio books then I’ll try listening to Korean language podcast - though I suspect that will be far too difficult. To that end, if you can help me with either solution I would be very grateful. Direct me to Korean audio books or a good Korean podcast (directory).

My friend David is coming to Korea in September to teach at a university that I previously worked at. In preperation for that he has purchased a couple of books for self study and is planning to acquire as much language as he can before arriving. Since he is already a succussful Danish learner I’m sure his experience learning Danish will help prepare him for Korean or at least prepare him for the difficulties to come. Check out his inaugural Korean learning post.

David is coming to Korea and would like some advice on what books to purchase before arriving to help him learn Korean. The details to his question can be found in a comment on my EFL Geek blog: this entry. You can leave advice for him there or here, though he has told me he won’t be joining this blog until he feels a little stronger in his, currently non-existant, Korean skills.

Thanks for your helping him out.

Any Recommendations?

Hello guys!  I am new to this group and it seems like an excellent resource and there seem to be many people interested in learning Korean!  It seems like a good way to bring them all together.  I have a question for all of you.  I am thinking about making a korean website myself, and knowing that resources are quite small for english speakers learning korean, I ask…what would you want on a korean website if you got a chance to choose?  This site here has very valuable information, but I would like to add even more resources if possible.  As someone learning korean, what has been hardest with resources or what would have made it easier for you?  Are there any topics that should be covered somewhere that aren’t covered well other places?  Are there any ideas you have for a website that you would love to see somewhere?  Any help would be great.  I am open to ideas and recommendations, and want to help out all fellow learners as well as I can!  Good luck with learning korean!
