Let me guess? Pandemic got you into watching Korean dramas, movies and K-pop. And now you are addicted. Learning Korean is at the back of your mind, but you haven’t really begun with it or might not know where to hit it from.

If this sounds like you, then we have curated a valuable list of tips and useful resources that will help you start your learning Korean journey. 

1. Learn the Korean script 

One should at least start studying the Korean script, known as Hangeul (한글), on their own without taking any classes. Even if you join any institute, it’s better to master the script first. 

You can visit the Hangeul learning page on our website wherein we have provided everything about Korean characters. If you are somebody who wishes to go slow with your learning, commencing with our 15-Day FREE Hangeul course is the option for you. In this course, you will receive 4-5 characters each day for 15 days in your inbox.

Besides that, we will also show how these characters are formed to make syllables. After 15 days, you will be able to read and write Korean words. Now the next resources are for the ones who would like to learn the script in Hindi and at once.

You can watch these YouTube videos on our channel that is divided into part one & part two. The script has been explained in detail and has two parts to it.

For the people who have just graduated from high school or enrolled themselves in university, you feel an inside urge and passion about the Korean language and would love to make a career in this field. Then you should go for full-time courses like Bachelor of arts in Korean language available in JNU, Jamia Mila University, Manipur and Jharkhand University.

There is a diploma course available in Delhi University as well.

Check all the details on their official website. Now if you are somebody who doesn't want to devote full-time to Korean but still wants to learn it side by side with your degree. For such individuals, the TOPIK exam will be the best option.
TOPIK stands for Test of proficiency in Korean language. This certificate is world-wide recognized. LKI also takes TOPIK classes for its own students who wish to appear for the test. 

2) Learn beginner grammar

Now that you are done with Hangul, we think you should hop onto the basic grammar. We have a youtube playlist made for you. This will teach you about the beginner Korean grammar from the Seoul National University's level 1 book. If you don’t know, SNU is the top university in Korea. 

We also have our online courses, level 1A and level 1B, level 2 and level 3. We are going to come up with level 4 soon.

To conclude, we would like to advise you to only start learning first, planning comes later, while learning comes first. All the best with your first lesson with us!
