I'm having a bit of trouble find good online resources for Korean.

Often I have a word or two I want to look up, but I can't find a good place to use a dictionary. I also can't find a good site that goes over prevailing grammar rules and important conjugation information.

Would any of you Korean learners like to share what sites or resources you use? I'm not currently in Korea, so I have no access to specific books.

Well, I don't know any sites for basic stuff, but here are a couple of sites that are pretty decent when you get to an intermediate/advanced level:

http://ezcorean.com/

http://parksguide.blogspot.com/

And as far as a good dictionary goes, the dictionary on Naver is really good. Huge database with tons of good examples and what not:

http://endic.naver.com/

Good luck~

I don't know if this is too basic for you, but there's a podcast called "Talk to me in Korean": http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/

I've just started learning Korean and am slowly learning the basics, but they have more advanced episodes where they do the episode entirely in Korean! Good luck!

ive been using http://www.zkorean.com/ as my korean dictionary, since it pronounces all the words in korean, which helps a lot. i pay $5/mo for it though.

Dictionaries and translators are plentiful and easy to find on line. If you want to learn to read Korean, try this site. http://www.learnlangs.com/RWP/Korean/index.htm

Half hour a day for about a week and I was good to go.

Does anyone have that cursor thingy on their pc that shows the korean translation of a word when you move your cursor over it?
Trying to find that again
Had it on my previous laptop but some guys I never met are using it since last year Sad
