Since I've been living in Korea, there hasn't been much time available to study Korean in person. There is a Korean Class that has been running in
Gwangju (not to be confused with
this Gwangju) but unfortunately my work schedule interferes. Therefore, I'm left to search online for Korean lessons.

Talk To Me In Korean.
This site is free and provides detailed yet fun lessons. I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy or anything but I truly love this site. I know there are many more people out there who love TTMIK and I think the website deserves a shoutout! In my years of trying to study multiple languages, I've found it difficult to find something as easy to use, educational, and FREE as TTMIK.
Each lesson comes with a PDF to follow along with and can be accessed either from the website or through iTunes after
subscribing to the podcast. If you'd like using the site another way, there are more options. You can receive
updates by email,
Twitter,
Youtube,
Facebook, or simply by subscribing to their
RSS feed. If you want to be truly dedicated, just subscribe to all of these and you will never go a day without seeing a new post from TTMIK. There's also a
community feature that connects users through a chatroom as well as multiple forums.
For more free and great help with Korean, you can also check out the
Korean Wiki Project. They are listed as one of TTMIK's affiliates and provide a good background for those learning Korean. Since it's a Wiki, KWP doesn't hold back in the Korean topics displayed. The website includes
dialects, tidbits about
grammar,
vocabulary, and many more things to help improve anybody's knowledge of Korean language.
If you can think of anymore resources for free Korean or any other language learning, let me know! As far as a website that incorporates audio and visual aids, TTMIK is the place to go! Supplement that with the
Korean Wiki Project and one can easily become a well-rounded Korean student.
