How can I learn Korean online for free?

For visual learners, YouTube is a great place to find resources and you can subscribe to this channel for helpful Korean learning videos.

How can I learn Korean by myself?

To learn the language by yourself, develop a plan, and stick to it. This may be the strategy we just mentioned above, a study plan you develop yourself, or a beginner course and online community that will give you all of the support you need. Ideally, you want to be using some practical parts of the language every day.

The top online courses will teach you how to learn Korean in a short amount of time by hand-picking the most important parts of the language first.

What is the best program to learn Korean?

The best Korean language program to learn the language is what you enjoy and stick with. We recommend testing out programs and finding one that gives you the best results.

If you are having fun studying, then you’ll want to do more, which will improve your skills. When you see your skills improve, you’ll want to study Korean more, which continues the positive feedback loop.

We offer a beginner online course and web program where you will learn how to have a 3-minute conversation in the first 90 days. Full access to the entire course is included in any 90 Day Korean membership.

This self-study 90-day course is structured so that the focus is solely on the most essential parts of Korean. With such a focus, you will learn the parts of the Korean language that will actually prove useful.

To teach you these basic grammar structures and essential vocabulary in an effective way, we’ll explain them to you using psychology and stories. Using these techniques, you can rest assured you’ll remember what you’re learning, even in your dreams!

What can you expect from this course?

The course is a structured, step-by-step program to teach you how to have a 3-minute conversation in the first 90 days. You can follow our suggested pace of completing the first course in 90 days, or you can go faster or slower. It’s up to you; the program is flexible.

If you already have Korean language experience, you can jump ahead to precisely where you need to focus.

There are four courses that last 90 days each. By the time you complete all four courses, you’ll be conversationally fluent in Korean.

Course Content

What is inside the course?

Inside the course, you get hand-picked step-by-step instructions for what to study and when. Each week, you receive a set of lessons to self-study. The lessons are all taught in a way that you’ll use in an everyday conversation and have lots of examples, so they are easy to follow.

When you finish that set of lessons, you can move on to the next set. The lessons build on each other, similar to language courses taught at a university, think of it as a cyber university.

However, unlike university courses, the language you’ll learn in our courses will be practical instead of academic. That means you can put to use what you learn in normal everyday life.

We send you course lesson reminders on a weekly basis, aiding you in staying on track with learning new content regularly. You can turn the lesson reminder feature off or on at any time.

How is the course material taught?

The step-by-step course is text with clickable audio throughout the lessons. Each week of lessons has “Challenges” at the end, which are fun applications of the material you have learned. These Challenge activities vary from writing sentences to your coach to communicating over text to real-world applications as you go throughout your day.

The learning material uses the 80/20 principle, which means we teach you 20% of the language, which will give you 80% of the results. This is not an academic course, and we focus on practical parts of the language. We’re committed to only teaching you grammar and vocabulary that’ll actually be useful. You will learn to read and write, as well as speak, which will enhance your basic conversational skills.

Why are the 90 Day courses different?

We use a structured, step-by-step approach to make learning a language easy. It’s like painting by numbers for learning the Korean language. It’s a simple strategy, and it works.

We also use psychology and stories to help make it easier for you to retain new information. And if you join with the VIP membership, you’ll be able to take advantage of our native Korean language coaches and homework graders.

Is there pronunciation practice?

Yes, there is! Inside all of the course lessons are integrated clickable audios called audio bytes. Click on them while you’re learning to hear the Korean words, essential phrases, or sentences to help perfect your pronunciation.

How is the course constructed?

We have four online Korean courses that start from the absolute beginner level and will take you to the upper intermediate level. Each course is called a “module” and lasts for 90 days if you follow our suggested pace. However, you can go as slowly or as quickly as you’d like.

The first module will teach you real-world Korean skills that will allow you to have a 3-minute conversation in Korean. We focus on teaching you practical Korean. For example, you’ll learn words and sentences you’d most need when traveling to Korea, ordering at restaurants, watching K-Dramas, interacting with Korean in-laws or family members, singing along to your favorite K-pop songs, understanding the culture, or comfortably living in South Korea.

Once you complete Module 1, you can move on to modules 2, 3, and 4. Each module builds on the previous course material and helps you build a strong foundation of Korean language skills. By the time you finish Module 4, you will be conversationally fluent in the language.

What kind of membership type can I choose from?

You have two types of memberships to choose from, and you can switch between memberships at any time.

Standard: You have full access to all the online Korean lessons and community interaction from day 1. This membership level does not include personal coaching. It is exactly the same as the VIP membership except for the personal coaching support.

VIP: With this membership, you have all the same features as the Standard membership plus 1:1 personal coaching. For the coaching, you will be assigned a Korean native coach and have your own personal 1:1 coaching thread inside the member’s area.

We ensure that our members get premium quality support throughout their membership, especially for things such as personal coaching.

You can cancel your membership at any time without any minimums or penalties. It’s easy to cancel with just a few clicks inside the members’ area. You also get a 100% money-back guarantee if you don’t love the program.

You can read testimonials from students here and find out about membership enrollment here.

Course Certificate

You can get a certificate when you complete each course. Simply request a certificate when you’re done, and the member support team will issue you one right away.

  1. Hello! I am a Korean American that can speak, read and understand Korean at what i call an intermediate level. I would like to increase vocabulary and ability to speak more like an adult Korean (I am 48 yo, born and raised in Los Angeles). What module would you suggest I start with?

    1. Hi Mike! Thanks for your question. ^^

      Since you have some Korean language experience, it’s important to figure out where you should start in the course. Many learners in our program already have experience like you, so we can definitely help with that.

      You have full access to all of the courses from day 1, so you can start wherever you’d like.

      The best way to find your start position would be to write in to our Members Support team at [email protected] after you enroll. We can assess your level and match you up with the right place in the course.

      I only have limited information on your skill level, so it’s hard to give an exact answer. However, based on what you have said so far, I’d suggest starting from Module 2. You can always skip any lessons you are already familiar with.

      If you need anything else, please reach out and we’ll be happy to help. Looking forward to seeing you in the program! ^^

  2. Hi. I have been studying Korean for about a year on my own. I probably know about 1000 words or so and i know some grammars, present, past, future tense and so on. My real challenge is to put everything together when it is time to talk and understand someone else. I am interested in your course but i am wondering how i can determine if i should start from the first module. Any suggestions?
