| Welcome to Dr. Yoon's KoreanLanguage
Resource website. The purpose of this site is to help
you learn Korean to your potential by putting you in
touch with a variety of on-line resources to help you
improve your Korean skills, complete projects and set
tasks, and find extra information on Korea and the Korean
language. These resources are designed to assist both
instructors and students of Korean. This site features
links to a variety of authentic materials, including
cultural, linguistic, and current media.
What you've discovered is that Korean is an amazingly
complex language, with many levels of usage. It's a
language where proper textbook grammar for beginners
is rarely heard outside of tourist situations. It's
a language that utilizes four different writing systems,
dependent on the context. It's a language with varied
hidden levels dependent on social situations, time of
year, and physical location.
The sites followed by an asterisk (*) require a Korean
font to be installed on your computer for viewing in
Korean.
Unicode fonts can be installed from Microsoft Office
or NT/2000 CD-ROMs or downloaded free from the Monash
archive. Microsoft also give away their Global IME which
enables input as well as viewing in certain applications.
Fontboard has lots of useful information about using
Korean with English Windows.
