I'm surprised there is not a sticky which is a link to a bunch of resources, websites, books, etc around learning korean. I'm not talking phrase books so much as structured courses. When I was in Korea 5 years ago, there was a really good site, I think it was sejong university that offered it, and it had audio and grammar and vocab exercises, etc.

There must be threads somewhere, but all I can see are things about 'Should I Learn or not?'.

Anyone got the good stuff bookmarked?

Found a great one here, hundreds of youtube videos on learning korean

Found it off this site

I am probably intermediate level myself. I can converse with all my korean friends at the restaurants, bars, etc. But I could never do my current job (project manager) in Korean. I'm going to be teaching at first, but eventually I would like to be fluent enough to work in the software industry, which is an entirely different vocabulary, and a lot of the Formal verb tense.

God, I loathe that co-host. For a guy who supposedly teaches Korean, he's got a horrible accent and his personality is just grating. Still, good videos, worth it just for the cute girl Smile

There are a few listed on this previous thread:

I really like Talktomeinkorean and Sogang.

http://korean.sogang.ac.kr/

And the naver online dictionary is very useful. There are a few free podcasts on itunes, from various sources.

Also there's this guy:

Anyway, thanks for the show links. The guy's accent could be better but his info is pretty accurate.
