You've no idea how happy I am that I can understand most of what you wrote... I've been learning Korean by ear / chatting / playing with Koreans everyday for about 1 year +. I have an appreciation for languages and nothing else seems to make me happier than than learning new things about a language.

A little rough around the edges (a bit like someone not saying 'a' or 'the' while speaking English), but very very good (I understood what was said perfectly).

If you need some random help every now and then, don't be afraid to PM me. I'll try my best to answer your questions.

for my new year resolution i am gonna do a 1h per day learning korean, i am gonna start from anew, i always was very bad at selfstudy and would rather play games or watch kdrama instead of learning, thats gotta change.

as it was already pointed out that its advisable to learn hangul first thats what i gonna do but when looking at talktomeinkorean.com there are only 2 parts and it seems they didnt continue the hangul videos. anyone knows a video guide for hangul which is completed?

oh and btw, when i learned english in school it felt completly different...like we had to memorize vocabulary on a daily basis, i cant seem to find such things (i was always good in that T_T)

I personally liked seemile.com 's hangul lesson, since they at least offer a bit of insight of start/end of consonant pronunciation. But it's still less than my book has. On the other hand, the basics should be enough, since the best way is to listen to a native speaker (TTMIK offers this) for every new word.

For vocabulary memorization, check out memrise (probably some TOPIK list) or create your own Anki lists.
Just google those 2 terms (and TL has a memrise thread somewhere).

While I think it would be cool to be able to speak korean fluently, it's not very practical for my purposes. But being able to read it I think would be fun to learn. How difficult would this be? Of course it would take time and effort, but not having to worry about any oral component of the language, would just learn how to read significantly reduce the difficulty?
Refer to my post.

Talk to Me in Korean seems really good so far, trying to learn Korean for my girlfriend, and so far using Talk to Me in Korean has been pretty good for me!

Just wondering, but would watching Pororo (maybe with English subtitles if me struggle) help me learn Korean? I know pretty much all of the Hangul alphabet, but almost nothing beyond that.

It should. Watching anything Korean would help a ton. Pororo is a kids show so it is simplified a little bit, I think, so it would be easier to grasp if you're learning Korean.

Be careful with subtitles though, if they're not Korean subs.
Just watching it while reading the (Eng) subs will not help you at all.

Best way is probably to watch small segments (4-5min) without subs, and then rewatch them with subs. Or if you're good enough to understand most of it, just use subs when you dont understand something.
And you probably need a good base vocabulary to really gain something from it (1-2k I'd guess, but I have no idea how complicated Pororo is).


That said, I have my own request:
Does anyone know some good books in Korean? I'd prefer something with folk tales / history based stuff, targeted at children (as in: easy). Something like Brother Grimm.
Other suggestions (as in genre) are welcome as well.

I'm going to be in Korea for 2 years starting late this summer and am hoping to be able to hold a basic conversation by the time I get there! I got the basic grammar book (Andrew Byon) off Amazon a while back which happens to also be listed in this thread and am currently spending 2 hours a day or so on Rosetta Stone. While I would agree that Rosetta Stone on its own would be terrible for a beginner, I think I have enough background in learning languages (having majored in German) that I am able to figure out the grammar as I go with the help of the book. I find that Rosetta Stone's repetition and style is good for improving one's pronunciation and ability to read Hangul. So far so good!

I'm also just starting to use talktomeinkorean.com but haven't done enough to decide how helpful it will be.

One thing that I'd love to get some help with is handwriting. If this:
is what people's handwriting actually looks like then I may as well start learning to write that way myself. I'm hoping that my writing can fall somewhere in-between what you see in this video and correct Korean as you see it typed so that I will be able to write faster as well as read handwritten Korean. Does anyone know any resources that could help? Or would be willing to create a basic guide?

First duty station for the Army actually, hoping to make as many non-military connections as possible too so that I might have the option to come back and work there later on if I really like it. Hence really trying to learn Korean.

I would say watching shows without a decent grasp of most basic vocab and grammar will not help you at all. gotta build up a base of knowledge before that really makes a big difference imo

Glad I saw this thread randomly today. Took me a couple hours tonight but I think I've got much of hangul down now! I read through the 6 part help thread/blog and watched the 2 talk to me in korean videos and am reading stuff reasonably fast now. Both helped in very different ways. Thanks for this thread, gave me something to do and now I'm interested in learning more :D
