I have a Razer Blackwidow (cherry blue) if that matters. I would get stickers but the blackwidow has huge font on the keys so i don't think the stickers would work very well as the letters would overlap. dont bother dude, srsly. I printed out an image of korean keyboard layout, used for about 2 hours and then i knew it by heart. Ofc with some trial and error but the lay-out is actually really logical and easy to remember after you used it a couple of times.. on another note, does anyone know this site: http://www.koreanclass101.com/? Ive heard some good things about it, like that it has apps and audio lessons to use on the go, as well as some dialog videos for intermediate learners to pracctice listening to korean as it is spoken IRL, rather then the way the teachers would speak to you (slow, extra pronounciation etc.). However, I dont know if its any good and worth signing up for? (they say its free but i can imagine they have some pay to use content). Edit: If noone knows about the site i'll be the guinea pig and report back here  | ||

You can also just sign up for an account and download everything in the first 7 days, so you don't have to pay/subscribe if you don't want to. | ||

Over all the approach rosetta stone takes it is possibly best software for studying language from ground up. But then again it doesn't fit for people who can't use certain organ of theirs or don't actually buy the software and doesn't bother to look around the software for information (which is usually found from the manual no one reads either).  | ||

Edit: If noone knows about the site i'll be the guinea pig and report back here I use both koreanclass101 and TTMIK and suggest you use both as well. TTMIK is great for learning common grammar points while koreanclass101 provides a realistic dialogue to study in each lesson and helps develop vocabulary related to certain situations, while TTMIK kinda just introduces new vocab randomly. | ||

Silentness
United States2821 Posts
Real name: Matt What you know: I know basic Korean and I can hold small conversations with strangers. Goals: Become fluent in Korean so I can understand my wife when she curses at me in Korean. Also her mom loves me to death so it would be great to actually have a deep conversation with her one day. Also how many black people do you know that are fluent in Korean haha? I'm always down for answering any questions if it's basic Korean or any culture related questions. Learning Korean would be a really rewarding experience. I always feel happy when I have a conversation in Korean to Korean people and I don't have to say it two or three times because I either pronounced it wrong or my western accent flooded my speech. | ||

What you know: Konglish (Pororo level vocab. Korean speaking level is not very good. And writing is 똥. Recently leveled up reading speed to be a bit faster than a 5 year old. Goals: Fluency! Increase vocabulary.... Want to be able to have natural conversations with my boyfriend and his Korean friends.  And understand TV shows and SC2 commentators and would be nice to use Naver for my questions and recipe needs. Hi, learnkorean.com has a nice and quick breakdown of the pronunciation rules on Lesson 1-3. (complex final consonant excerpt): NB) Final consonant clusters: ㄳ, ㄵ, ㄶ, ㄺ, ㄻ, ㄼ, ㄽ, ㄾ, ㄿ, ㅀ, ㅄ Except for ㄺ, ㄻ, ㄼ, ㄽ, ㄾ, ㄿ, ㅀ (ones with ㄹ placed befre another consonant), when followed by another consonant or nothing, the second consonant of the cluster becomes silent. This second consonant will come alive when there is a vowel after it. 값 = kap "price" 값 + 과 = kap kwa "price and" 값 + 이 = kapsi "price (with a subject particle)" | ||

why is it written 데스티니 instead of 뎃티니 and why is it 토드 instead of 톧 ? How do you decide if you need the second consonant with ㅡ or just write it in the single syllable? thanks | ||

I guess it's because the ending consonants are more emphasized in english than korean? not sure.. | ||

How do you decide if you need the second consonant with ㅡ or just write it in the single syllable? thanks When a consonant comes last (batchim 받침) it makes a different sound. Like how you put 뎃 that would be said the same as 뎃, 뎆 , and so on ('det' romanized) so it would be dettini instead of desutini or tot instead of todu. ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ Batchims have the ㄱ sound value ㄴ has ㄴsound value ㄷ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅌ, ㅎ, ㅆ have ㄷsound value ㄹ has ㄹ sound value ㅁ has ㅁ sound value ㅂ and ㅍ have ㅂsound value ㅇ has ㅇ sound value (ng when batchim) They have a slight pronunciation difference they are batchims. | ||

How do you decide if you need the second consonant with ㅡ or just write it in the single syllable? thanks I'm not sure if this is correct, but with the second option for both, the ㅅand ㄷ would have a "t" sound, which is different to what it sounds like if it was in the beginning of the syllable, which would sound even less like the original. (De-seu-ti-ni vs Det-ti-ni). | ||
