The websites that I have bookmarked are sites that provide both language lessons with worksheets and also provide articles that discuss Korean culture and history. The ‘How to Study Korean’ website, provides lessons based on category, therefore, for each week, they provide a lesson and worksheets that can be used. Lessons on grammar are categorized based on which level you are in – beginner, intermediate, upper-intermediate, lower-advanced and advanced. It provides a list of YouTube channels, listening practice lessons, vocabulary lists, themed lessons, workbooks, short stories and even Hanja lessons. This site also provides worksheets for the tenses. I feel that this would be very good for my study of the Korean language because of its organization, resources, and levels of knowledge. The second website I chose is ‘Learn Korean Language,’ which is a great source for learning about culture because it provides blogs, e-zines, news about Korea, information on Korean war, Taekwando and even information on Korea when you decide to travel Korea. Apart from resources about culture it also provides lessons for grammar. The combination of lessons on grammar in a culture makes it a great website for this course. For some reason, I am having trouble with BYKI so I cannot say much about this website, however, mango languages is a great way to study Korean because of its easy methods. The student does not have to go through the entire website in search of lessons. It’s easily accessible according to levels of knowledge and it also provides assessments at the end of the chapters. This makes it easier because the student does not have to go out of her way to make or find a type of assessment.
The two websites I chose will help me with learning the alphabet, the tenses, learning time and date (along with hanja symbols), vocabulary on everyday life as well as hobbies, family matters and cultural posts. The mango language website will help me reinforce what I have learned by providing assessments. I have started approaching my first task by trying to go over the Korean alphabet as well as looking at greetings (both informal and formal).
