Hey all, looking into what people out there think are really useful resources for learning/studying Korean. Just like Japanese, I doubt an "all in one" site will do it, but intelligent use of different sites will make a more powerful learning tool.

I'll top post links and categorize by subject.

In case you missed them:

Yep, completely missed them or just forgot they existed. I'll try to consolidate the links into this post though.

Right now, I'm converting the Hangul Tutor into an Anki file as I like the way he teaches it almost like Remembering the Kana was taught (intuitive versus dictionary order). This will include any sound files he offered for each consonant/vowel, syllable or word.

korean subs are really easy to get from clubbox but i don't know if subs are readily available for korean stuff but korean subs for foreign stuff is easy to get (like japanese/american stuff).

and d-addicts has some korean subs for drmas:

I might as well post this again:

Textbook:
Integrated Korean
-Really nice textbook designed for college students but get the NEWER edition. The audio for the old text sounds like someone is dying of constipation. But then again I think there is more vocabulary in the older versions as I have the first book as a new edition and the second as an older.

Websites:
TTMIK (http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/)
-This is the place to learn Korean. A group of students have put up audio lessons and videos for anyone hwo wants to learn Korean. The Core lessons are free but there is a shop and a donation box.

KWTD (http://koreanwordoftheday.blogspot.com/)
-Increase your vocabulary one word at a time.

Here is another page of links and books etc:
http://sites.google.com/site/soyouwantto...age/korean

Dictionary (http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-korean/)
-There are very fe good online dictionaries for Korean so this is all I got. It seems to work but I would have liked examples. (I use google to search for them so it's not all that bad.)

Some links I found useful. Anyone willing to sort them, please do. Sorry, no time.

Is there such a list for Mandarin resources?

does anyone know any sites for news that we have for japanese like fnn-news (where there's like a video and text that matches it) or even just video.. cause i'm sure i can find the article from googling some phrase i read onthe screen lol.

ありがとうございます

I was procrastinating and decided I wanted to look up korean resources to at least be able to read Korean. Now I have work I can do between reps for fun. I also appreciate the Korean -> Japanese sites because I don't plan to really study any korean until after I get back from study abroad so Fall 2012.

I googled rikaichan for korean but all i found was this post
The Naver Toolbar will do this exact function for you found here: The function is called 툴팁사전

http://toolbar.naver.com/home/index.nhn


Or, if you want this functionality outside of the Internet Explorer, you can download 야후미니 which is a small program that places a red marker on your screen. You can move this marker over a word and it will automatically look it up for you. It also has the 툴팁 functionality that is the same as the Naver toolbar except also works outside IE.

BUT I think it only works english-> korean
anyone who can read korean/kind enough to install this stuff see whether it does work korean -> english or korean->japanese.

I tried installing them but only the first one works but only for enlish to korean. the pen doesn't work for me ... i dont' know why. I can't underline/look up anything with the pen.

my contribution to this thread!
it's really useful and helpful for learning all the kango words (words made up of kanji in korean) WHEN you already know Japanese:
http://korean.nomaki.jp/site_j/kanji.html

there's also other sections in this site that are very helpful as well so I really recomend checking it out since it's free and helpful.

Naver dictionary if you want the definitoin in japanese
http://jpdic.naver.com/mini_entry_foreig...ryId=26794

I also find google translate (doing K->J) helpful since the grammar order is the same.

You can just add Korean dictionaries to Stardict and Lingoes, e.g. http://www.lingoes.net/en/dictionary/dic...?cata=1.ko and http://www.freshports.org/korean/stardict2-dict-kr/

yeah it works but it's dumb.
Like if a particle is attached it's not smart enough to look it up without the particle ( you know how rikai-chan shows you the result that matches closest... it only shows exact match).
ex. something는 just b.c. of that it doesn't find it cusa eit searches word + n. like rikai-chan doesn't do this. I tried t osee if there's a way to fix it but i don't think there is so i guess i have to manually put in spaces to separate particle from word when i want to look it up. I can understand if it doesn't unconjugate the verb for me and look it up... yea hmaybe that's a pain in the ass in the program in.. but the particle thing is just silly.

ANOTHER CONTRIBUTION:
subtitle site : http://20woo.com/
1) Go to the homepage of http://www.20woo.com
2) Choose the link 영화대본 at the top left
3) When the new page comes up, scroll down to the Zeroboard search box near the bottom, (but NOT the Google search box at the very bottom)
4) Into that box type (or paste) 미남이시네요 and click “Find it”
5) In the results screen, find the line [re] 미남이시네요 대본 구합니다. and click on it.
6) The download link you want is in the heading of the article that now comes up, labelled File #1 and named 미남이시네요.zip

When you’ve downloaded the zip, don’t try to unzip it using either Winzip or the built-in Widows zip file opener. Unless you are running Korean Windows, either of those will tell you the file is corrupt. It isn’t. It was just created by someone who doesn’t realize there is a world outside Korea where people use different languages. So you need to use 7-zip (WinRar won’t handle it either) to unzip the contents, since it has a way of handling garbage fileneames. The scripts will unpack to your filesystem with nonsense characters in the titles, but you will see the episode numbers plainly enough (the one without a number is the final episode, originally labelled 최종회).

Then (but this will be no surprise to longstanding lurkers here) you’ll discover all the files are *hwp format, so everything said elsewhere on this page about that format applies.

drama beans scripts: http://www.dramabeans.com/about/kdrama-s...ent-page-6

the stuff in the comments are helpful too.
movie scripts: http://www.cineast.co.kr/bbs/board.php?b...sd_caption

also you can find it possibly by seraching in google the name of the drama + hpw + 대본
which means daihon in korean

lots of .hpw files here!
click on the right links and you can just direct download
if you click on this other link for download it tells you to login into naver... which i don't have an account for lol.

Any korean subtitles that matches k-drama exactly?

arnaldosfjunior Wrote:Any korean subtitles that matches k-drama exactly?

Probably somewhere on clubbox.
You've probably never heard of it unless you have Korean friends.
You can find almost everything there.

Dramas, subtitles, whatever.....

arnaldosfjunior Wrote:Any korean subtitles that matches k-drama exactly?

i don't think it's on clubbox -- .smi files for foreign ( non- korean stuff) are usually there but not for korean subtitles since korean people understand korean...

Just check out the post I posted about dramabeans and hwo to dl scripts and just downoad them and see for yourself

the scripts to the dramas are pretty exact though. The links put up to dramabeans and info on finding scripts. just try it out for yourself to see if it matches exaactly... it probably does or for the most part.

the person on drama beans said:
These may differ slightly from the aired versions of the dramas. The reasons are many, but include last-minute editing changes, reordering of scenes, actors ad-libbing, or final rewrites. Use these as a language tool, but don’t get too confused when the written page doesn’t follow the dramas word-for-word.

I haven’t read through them all, so let me know if something needs to be fixed.

BUTTTTTTTTT I tried with one of the dramas and so far i've found no diferences in what they say what is written in the script (I only did the first 10 moinutes). it depends on the drama and how mjuch they improvised or changed or whatever. but i think for the most part it'll exact/same.

I got it from the sites I posted above

thank you; Worked well.

the pen works.I tested in opera browser and in the Haansoft hangul (same as the Microsoft Office by the koreans);on firefox didnt work in all cases, dont know why.It does translates korean to english.

Tonnes of past test for TOPIK. Epic resources if u wanna nail the test.

I highly recommend Bae Yoon Jong to Manabu Kankokugo DS:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/D3-Publisher-%E3...503&sr=8-4

And all of the other games associated with it. I've been continually disappointed by language-learning video games and this is the first that I've found that makes me want to play it every day, it's just that fun. Also, you'll learn a pretty solid base of Korean vocabulary and grammar since the game is in Japanese and highlights the similarities between the two. Definitely check this game out if you're beginning your Korean studies~

does anyone have a copy of the korean-japanes dictionary from lingoes
http://www.lingoes.net/en/dictionary/dic...9DA8CCF049

韓国語組み立てタウン is an AWESOME "game" for iPhone/ipad. It has 200 grammar points from the 入門 to 中級 level, each grammar point has 5 example sentences WITH AUDIO. making for 1000 sentences with audio, perfect for the complete beginner. The aim of the game is to build ur town by progressing through the game by answering all the questions right. You get given a Japanese sentence and then the words in Korean, it's then ur job to put the sentence together in the right order before the time runs out. It's highly addictive and u learn lots.

I'm keen to make this to an anki deck. It's better than what I've been using for Korean so far and the level leads me right in to the next material I have. If anyone wants to get it and help me that'd be real cool.

@mezbup
Do you still need it? I got the app and made a deck with the sentences (front:korean back:japanese and audio), I don't think I should post it here so send me an email if you need it.

Does anyone knows if there is a free hangul text editor like
JWP/JFC by Rosenthal? I still haven't figured out what editor to
use to type hangul words to input into Anki.
