For what it's worth, I've been spending most of my time lately learning from the "Let's Speak Korean" episodes (which originally aired on Arirang TV in South Korea) and entering various sentences from this show into Anki. You can find these episodes on Youtube (I'm currently watching the season with Lisa Kelley and Stephen Revere, not the season with the Korean lady hosting). One advantage over FSI is that they teach the more common casual informal and polite informal speech levels. Also the aforementioned Stephen Revere has two language books out ("Survival Korean" and "Survival Korean: Basic Grammar") which are both quite decent and include audio CDs as well.
I started with Pimsleur as well (and went through all 60 lessons), but I sometimes wonder if my current LSK/Anki method would have been better right from the start (especially when you consider the cost of Pimsleur and the fact you can actually see the words in written form with LSK). I don't really recommend going through LSK without using an SRS, though. I tried that way at first and the information didn't seem to very stick well at all (since LSK doesn't repeat information for recall reasons the way Pimsleur does). That said, you will be induced into having an active vocabulary with Pimsleur (since you have to produce the language) that won't happen quite as easily with many other methods, so it still has some benefits. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Check out www.speaktomeinkorean.com, which is free, and www.koreanclass101.com. Both are rather good. The first week on Korean Class is free, and you can download as much material as you want.

Hey,
I am learning korean from the FSI course. The course teaches informal speech. It is just introduced in the unit 3. The course is not only in formal polite speech. I am on unit 5 and it seems like all the varying levels of politeness are touched upon even in the drills. The course seems pretty thorough and much better than any other I've come across.
