Hmm, would anyone be interested if I were to do a blog series on very basic Korean grammar and sentence structure? I guess it would basically be a follow-on from mizu's hangeul guide in that you would use your new found hangeul skills to begin to express yourself.

I'm not fluent, but I know the basic stuff ez, and as uni is starting up again, it couldn't hurt for me to revise as well :D

Hi, I've been half heartedly learning Korean for a few months, but since this thread directed me to TTMIK its gotten a lot better. Time is my main issue but being able to download the mps and pdf files to my phone for viewing on commute to work has made things much easier.

My main question is can anyone recommend a good keyboard to get that has both English letters and hangul on it? I'll also use it for gaming as a side point. although top of the range quality isn't necisery as my current one was never top of the range. anything below 70pounds - aprox 100 dollars including rough shipping costs.

Thanks if anyone has any advice

I just printed the keyboard layout and kept the paper nearby when I was learning. Either way you want to eliminate hunting ASAP anyways.

Anyone else using lang-8? You can laugh at my beginner attempts here

I did the same thing as someone just above me mentioned, I just googled a picture of the korean layout and had it up on my screen when I used it, from time to time, eventually memorising it.

I also ordered some transparent hangeul stickers to put on my keys, and they are really good, I personally recommend them over buying another keyboard: http://latkey.com/keyboard_stickers.asp?SubCat=47

In player interviews, Korean pros will often start with something sounding like "etan" (aetun?) or similar. I always wondered what it meant. Is it sort of like beginning a sentence with "Well, ..." in English? How is it spelled? Anyone know?
