Friendly Koreans..?

I am very much interested with your culture and language ever since I started watching your awesome dramas. This summer I am planning to learn and speak Hangul but before that may be you could help me? May be someone here is patient enough to teach me to write Hangul and how to pronounce it.. Just the basics.. and may be if you are friendly enough we could chat sometime?

This is how i learned

korean characters aren't too hard to learn . they'll take a couple hours at most, i think, but words are tricky to spell, so those are what you have to learn and remember basically. if you need someone to talk to, i'm free. =] but i'm not the best at speaking;

I'm still learning myself but I'll try to give you a couple of sites....

Hangul isn't too difficult to learn just because it's more of an alphabet rather than symbols. Sometimes it just feels like its much easier to read than to write (spell).

If you want practice, with any language, the best way is to constantly speak it, if you know anyone who speaks Korean.....Other thing is, you might look into home stay. That always helps.

Other thing is, its best to learn to speak the language through reading Hangul rather than romanizations of the language....Just more accurate pronunciation I think....

Anyways, some links:

Why not?? I would love to do that as long as I am proud of my country. You can talk to me on skype I am there all the time. This is my user name -> timestarless I sort of need English improvement and that's what my webcam and headset are for.

sure! i am half korean & i am currently living in korea right now. you can chat with me anytime, but i don't really use yahoo messenger, so you can add angel_baby72@hotmail.com. or my myspace, www.myspace.com/xmixglamour_charmox
