Here's my list of Korean resources for the first page:
Talk To Me In Korean - undisputedly the best website to learn Korean from. They have 235 grammar lessons as podcasts and each lesson also has an accompanying PDF file. For intermediate learners, they have the Iyagi podcast series where they talk about various subjects in Korean but slower than in real life, and they provide full transcripts of these conversations. They also have lots of other stuff, too much to describe it all here. Korean Wiki Project - a good place to learn Hangeul, also has a ton of grammar. Click Korean - 20 beginner lessons on the Seoul National University's website. Include vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading practice, various exercises. Very good. Sogang Korean Program - another set of lessons for beginners by a Korean university. My Korean - two textbooks with accompanying audio by the Monash University, available for free on their website. Recommended. Korean verb conjugator - very useful and reliable Online Intermediate College Korean - an excellent course for intermediate learners. Korean Language Adventure - looks like a good resource for intermediate learners but registration is required. KoreanClass101.com - I hear it's a bit similar to TTMIK but it requires registration. Korean Grammar Database - contains lots of grammar but the example sentences may have some mistakes Korean Flashcards - might be useful, not sure Naver dictionary - Naver is a really big website for Koreans but this link is to the English - Korean dictionary (both directions). Daum dictionary - similar to the Naver dictionary More links available here 8 persons have voted this message useful | |

Study Resources
Thanks for the links! I updated the second post with BloodyChinese and Evita's recommendations. Feel free to add more, everyone! I'll add some recommendations as well, soon. Team Name Poll Voilá: Please Vote Here Make sure to vote before the new year. I'll make the name official on December 31. Number of Members We have now reached the limit of 15 members, but Brun_Ugle has left it to the teams to decide if they want to stick to the limit. For now I have asked her to open a new group for people interested in Asian languages, because I wanted to discuss this with you first. If the new team has less than 6 members they will be added to our team, so our real limit is 20. Do you agree with the limit or would you like a bigger team?

@Team Name
Thanks for setting up a poll. Even though a name isn't that important, I still think that either Team Aurora or Team Nine-Tailed Fox is preferable to "Asian Team", simply because very few if any members here are Asian to begin with and secondly, Asia includes a wide array of languages and not just Chinese dialects, Korean and Japanese, which are the three languages people study here. So we could either settle for a name that hints at the East Asian focus we have or something that connects China, Korea and Japan together.

We could change Asian to East Asian. I think the reason this team started as "Asian" was that it wasn't clear if we'd have participants studying South-East Asian languages.

That is kind of curious though. I always really liked the sound of Sanskrit and as I was browsing this forum, I noticed that very few people are actually studying either Sanskrit or any modern Indian language. Neither could I find many people studying SE Asian languages. Hell of a lot Mandarin and Japanese though- basically East Asia all the way.
Maybe this is due the fact that you can get by in large parts of India with just English, contrary to China or Taiwan. Then again, South Asian culture is so much more interesting than Chinese culture(coming from a half-Chinese guy) Edited by BloodyChinese on 20 December 2012 at 1:46pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I actually still prefer the "Asian Team" name. I will most certainly start indonesian
around february or so, so we wouldn't be just East Asian anymore. Furthermore the fact that we're not all Asian (mostly non-Asian among us I guess), is not related to the name. It could be thought as if the name was "Asian ((languages)) Team". Well, now, you know my point of view! :) But anyway, if the name were to be something else, I wouldn't mind much. It's just a preference I have. No connection with what I just wrote but Thanks Evita! I love the links. I actually knew most of those but those I didn't might be of a big help! 1 person has voted this message useful |
