Is there a website or program that I can use to learn the Korean keyboard?

I'm tired of slowly pecking away when I have to type in Hangul.

Any recommendations?

Over a year ago I was in the same boat as you and spent a week trying to find the perfect Korean typing tutor program. I never found one that worked all that well.

What has worked exceptionally well has been just typing in Korean. If you are a decent typist in English, it will come pretty quickly. I noticed improvements day after day.

My Korean is still quite slow, but considering I'm barely conversational in Korean, it's of a decent speed. Korean friends are always surprised.

So, you may find more success just typing.

Spell and grammar errors are fond of me when it comes to Korean. So I don't type as I think in Korean. But I like being self-taught. I simply any paper with Hangeul and retype them on notepad/word. I just picked up one of those ad papers scattered around last week. It doesn't matter if I understand or have use with what it says. As long as it's the right spelling and grammar. It's familiarizing my fingers to the keyboard that counts more at this time.

Some versions of the Hangeul word processor come with a typing practice game with varying levels. You could try that.

Otherwise, just start typing in Korean and looking at the keys. You'll pick it up much faster than you think.
