Learning Korean with mobile devices
Read the article here: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20140114000640
If you want to learn Korean there are numerous apps you can download to your cell phone or visit a website online.
Online Resources
1. Talk to Me in Korean--http://www.talktomeinkorean.com
I started studying with TTMIK since the beginning. I'm still on level 2 because I don't study that often, but they have 9 levels of lessons on their website so far. I definitely recommend that you check them out. They teach the lessons in English with an audio file and PDF version. All of the teachers are native Koreans who are fluent in English. They give lots of sample sentences for each lesson. They also post a lot of videos to their YouTube page about various topics like konglish and drama phrases. They have also published a lot of books on a number of topics.
They recently won an award from the Prime Minister for their efforts to teach the Korean language.
Cost: Free. (no signup to learn) They also have a subscription service where you can get native Koreans to correct your mistakes. I think it costs around $7.00 a month at http://www.harukorean.com
