TTMIK slow listening practice course. this would’ve been so helpful when i was first learning!!
Tag: youtube resources
So scary.. but these videos are good listening practice
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.

Some reading and listening resources for you, my Korean studying friends 🙂
Please also recommend me any resources you use, especially apps, I’m hungry for Korean resources!

세바시 | 세상을 바꾸는 시간 15분) (youtube, app, website)
Korean version of TED talks. For years I’ve been jealous of my English-learning friends using TED talks to study, but no longer.
연애의 과학 | Science of Love (website, app)
“Relationship tips and psychology tests.” Articles introducing research studies on relationships, sex, breakups etc. in very easy-to-read language and with cute illustrations.
Blog site with the feel of a magazine. Brunch is very publicised and has a high quality of content.
Just… blogs… I don’t actually use these personally but recommend me some blogs if you find anything interesting there.
Learning Korean with Humans of Seoul (facebook)
Language posts about any interesting grammar points/expressions/words that pop up in Humans of Seoul interviews. The Humans of Seoul page itself is also really good for reading practice.
