Hey guys,
I've been trying to learn how to read (mostly trying to learn how to speak) Korean for a while.
Today I received a Korean to English dictionary that one of the students left here when she went back to Korea and was told I could keep it. I was thumbing through it and I wish I could read Korean. I can read the English definitions of the words, but not the Korean lettering/symbols.

I know people around here probably have more experience with Japanese, but I'm wondering if anyone can teach me the basics of how to read Korean? I really have a strong desire to learn and I am willing to practice.

The Korean alphabet is actually one of the easiest to learn of all the alphabets; it is nowhere near as complicated as hiragana/katakana/kanji. Words sound as they are spelled.

I was able to teach myself hangul (the alphabet) within a matter of weeks; my college-age son learned it in five days. There are a few websites that will walk you through -- I suggest trying this one:

If you have any questions, please ask!

My friend was showing me Japanese... HOOOOOOLY CRAP it's annoying.

Korean is fairly easy compared to Japanese. I can help you out a bit. =)

Thank you, you guys...I'll try that website and see if I can make sense of it.
It might be a bit before I can get to it though ..my American Sign Language class is starting to get crazy -so I need to practice that first so I don't get too far behind (my professor is deaf and sometimes he signs too quickly or I just plain have no idea what he's saying).
