한국어 읽기 연습을 원하신다면
제 네이버 블로그 좀 구경하세염~
한국어를 공부하려고 한국어로 영문법과 미국문화에 대해 가르치는 건데 아직 많은 글을 올리지 않았고 인기가 하나도 없어요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
그래도 재밌더라고요^^

Naver blog teaching English in Korean, but it would be a great source for learning Korean as well.

Korean Textbook Reviews

A collection of all the k-textbook reviews that I’ve done over the years 🙂 

Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

Others

I don’t know if you’ve already answered this question, but what resources do you use to study? What resources do you recommend for people past the low-intermediate level? Thank you in advance!

Hello!

I wrote a post about my current study schedule and materials, which you can read here!  As you’ll be able to tell pretty quickly, I love using textbooks, partly because I have easy access to them living in Seoul.

However, I do utilize a few other resources that I would highly recommend to those who are past low-intermediate, and those are all authentic sources.  At that level, if you want to improve, I believe it’s important to incorporate as much real Korean into your study routine as you can.

Read news, webtoons, and web novels from Naver or Daum.

Watch news clips from YTN News.  They provide transcripts of the entire clip in the information section, so it’s easy to check your understanding and new vocabulary.

Listen to podcasts on the 팟빵 app.

Watch television shows on 마루TV.

Write a blog on Naver or Daum.  If you’re not confident in your writing, upload your post on Lang-8 first to get it checked before posting.

And that’s all I would recommend!

Hope this helps!

Buying Korean books- Aladin bookstore

studiousbees:

On my last post, @mallayk asked where Korean books can be found. Since I live in Korea, finding reading material is no big deal for me, but for those of you outside of Korea, it can be a bit of a task. However, I bought Korean books in the US once through a website called Aladin.

Aladin is a company that sells (surprise surprise!) books here in Korea. I love going to their secondhand bookstores here in Seoul and picking up reads for cheap 🙂 For those of you who live in the US, they have a branch over there that you can order from. I actually used it to buy a few manhwa back when I was in… I think high school? The site is all in Korean, but I’m pretty sure that there are guides for how to navigate the site floating around on the internet. I know that I used one of those guides when I used the site that one time, because my Korean was still super-beginner level at the time. Or, of course, you could also ask me and I could check it out and assist as needed 🙂

Anyway! From what I remember, of course there is a bit of a markup on the books since they’re imported, but my broke self clearly didn’t consider the prices too unreasonable or else I wouldn’t have ordered in the first place. If anyone who has used the site more recently could let me know how it is these days, I would really appreciate it!

I just checked the site, and it says that the US version of the site is set up for payment in USD and CAD and shipping to US and Canada only, but you can also use the Korean version of the site to get shipping to other places 🙂

Happy studying (and reading~)!

i’m seeeeriously considering taking up korean but i have no resources except for dl/lingodeer and some blogs on here. any favourites those of you learning korean could recommend?

I use;

– the app Memrise (free for ios, I don’t know about andriod).

– the book “Korean for Beginners” by Park and Amen (My brother got the book for me as a gift so I can’t attest to it’s price, but it’s good for grammar rules etc.) comes with a cd of a gazillion native pronounciations for vocab and a lot of culture notes!

– if you follow the Tumblr tag ‘random korean vocab’ you’ll get a lot of new words nearly every time you open tumblr. I pick a few a week on top of my regular study just to get some extra words to use.

YouTube channels:

– JOLLY. the premise is a somewhat native speaker (who lived in korea for an extended period of time / got married to a korean lady) teaches his friend the language etc. very comedic and not too fast paced. I like to follow the lesson and make notes of my own, as things are usually repeated several times and it really feels like you’re being taught one on one.

– 영국남자. mostly food, not gonna lie. but very interesting. run by the same people as JOLLY. will make you cry laughing 10/10 times. (plus both channels include subtitles for English and Korean. (It really helps me personally to see the Hangul while hearing it.)

good luck! I’m sorry I couldn’t link anything, I’m on mobile, but a quick search of the titles should give you what you want.
