=A Brief List of Propositions=
 
−
This list is under construction. I have saved it here until I finally fix my gasoline-doused sleeping schedule. Everything below hasn't been revised and, given my sleepyness, might be misconstrued.
 
−
First is a brief introduction to a few things to which I would like to bring attention, and following below that is a list of things that may be considered for adding to the "Particular" pages named. Last appearing are a few points having to do with the formalization (and thus the amount of trust that can be given to any topics found here) of all information appearing on this wiki.

==On the Presentation of this Wiki==
 
−
As I have stated several times before, the presentation of this Wiki is still in need of much attention. I very well understand that the lacking count of active contributing members is the primary reason for this as having such leaves little to the promotion of organization and similar, useful hierarchies. Also, while I recognize the current priority of these fields as sensible, I would like to offer a strong, sectioned restructure of what already exists.
 
−
Please continue reading on this below "On the Current Hangeul Presentation."
 
−
Note: I'll be referring to specific examples of things about which I speak with the sort of informal name of Particulars. The most recently defined Particular is the one of which I will speak in the following articles, or, at times, the website to which I address a short review.

===Reformation for the Presentation to Beginners===

I will come back to this later.

==On Dictionaries, Learning Sites, and Online Materials==
 
−
Particular: ( http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/index.php?title=Language_sites#From_the_Beginning )
 
−
 
−
===Dictionaries===
 
−
*Lingoes : Electronic dictionary tool available for the Windows PC (may be for others as well). Has an appreciable number of dictionaries as well as other useful tools. Several Korean sources are available, multi-lingual support, etc.

:Particular : http://www.lingoes.net/
 
−
::[http://www.lingoes.net/en/dictionary/dict_cata.php?cata=1.ko&lang=&order=0 Korean Dictionary List]
 
−
*{{correct}} WordShower : Though not a formal dictionary, I still consider this source highly useful in finding words and their pronunciations. Indeed, it lacks a few important word entities (and I'll leave that ambiguous because, quite frankly, my eyelids are sagging).
 
−
:Particular : http://wordshowers.willkern.com/index.html
 
−
 
−
===Learning Communities===
 
−
*LiveMocha : LiveMocha is, in my opinion, a free version of Rosetta Stone PLUS an intriguingly well-developed community, both of these working together in an attempt to have you learn a language. The Korean version appears to have low-quality native pronunciations of a good number of phrases and its accuracy may, as I have yet to come to such an understanding, be questionable. In truth, I did not spend a respectable amount of time there and still will not until I progress well into the "beginner" stage of learning Korean. Thus: not recommended as a beginning source.
 
−
:Particular :
 
−
 
−
===Software===
 
−
*{{correct}} BeforeYouKnowIt Byki : I myself have used this one several times before now and will likely continue to do so in the future, though not as a primary material. On the company's site is a free version of their application implemented in any Internet browser with Flash support. A good deal of their official pieces utilize Korean Romanization, which is most detrimental in the learning of the language. In spite of this negativity, there exists user-created materials with native pronunciation (with the option of slowing the recording simply with a click), Hangul text, and sometimes pictures.
 
−
:Particular : http://www.byki.com/

−
===Online Materials===
 
−
*Korean Class 101 : While I have not toured the bulk of their content, they seem promising in many regards. I have used a few of their newbie lessons and I enjoyed them and thought them useful. However, this is highly dependent on the type of learner you are. Full access to most of their "goodies" requires a paid subscription.
 
−
:Particular : http://www.koreanclass101.com/
 
−
*LingQ : I suggest keeping an eye on this one. While LingQ is at the moment a service requiring a paid subscription and lacks an official version for the Korean language, I believe it is worth noting, especially when knowing the fact that its still in its infancy stage.

:Particular: http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hangeul_step_6#Diphthongs
 
−
:*{{correct}} Notice the titles of each letter written in either the red or blue boxes. It is here where links would be most useful. If formatting affects this to such a degree as to degrade the overall appearance in the current manner, I would suggest attaching such a link to the images of the letters or an otherwise easily recognized and large object.
 
−
*{{incorrect}} ''(Proposal rescinded)'' Page Expansion : Perhaps most frustrating to my eyes is the lack of page expansion to accommodate larger, widescreen monitors. I do not mean the basic frame of the site, but rather the content within it. Again referring to this article's Particular, I see the horizontally centered table of words to be a thing of annoyance in that rest of the page is left blank. To my eyes it's a gaping hole of white that needs to be filled with some sort of content, but at the same time I suspect that it's just my personality and ridiculous monitor corrupting my opinion.

Thanks, Mstrm. I'm going through what you showed me now. ... Oh, and about learning Spanish: the school I'm in offers Latin, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese classes. Although I would have much rather have taken Latin, I was talked out of it. I still want to though... instead I'm stuck with Spanish. The Japanese course is underpopulated and a GPA killer, so I didn't really think about taking that one (despite the amount of anime I would rather watch without subtitles, lol). I'm hoping to go to a college that offers some sort of Korean language course, but that's a few years in the future... --[[User:Galinaros|Galinaros]] 20:05, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

About he dashes: "New format links to the Hanja character's page, NOT linked by the Korean letters: 착각 <錯覺>. Note if you see '-' or '-' it means it's NOT a hanja character, so don't link it. For example: 육개장 <肉-醬>.개 is not a hanja character." --[[User:DigitalSoju|DigitalSoju]] 23:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi welcome. I see you're still trying to get hangeul down. Unfortunately our section's not finished. I start summer vacation in about a week then i'll be able to complete that section. Hopefully it'll be useful for you. --Bluesoju 00:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


Thanks for the 'hello'! I'm having some trouble memorizing the Diphthongs of Hangeul, but after that I have a feeling it will be a breeze. Tonight I will be putting a lot of effort into getting those down... I have already taken a look through some of your materials on learning Hangeul. I'll make use of what I can (I think I have a list of 20-some websites that I have been using. I'll give you a few ideas on what kind of learning tools worked best for me.) Don't worry too much about the incompleteness of your Hangeul learning section--the site already looks great! --Galinaros 00:56, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Recommended sources

If you're looking for resources on learning Hangeul and some other basic things, there are some really great sites listed at Language sites#From the Beginning. Like Chris said, we're planning on including Hangeul soon, but for now the wiki assumes Hangeul knowledge. Good luck! (I've actually never studied Spanish. I guess I've always just been interested in rare languages. I'm just happy I happened to learn Korean and have stuck with it since.) --Mstrum 03:04, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
