This website will explain Korean grammar patterns, Korean idioms, slang, along with practical vocabulary words organized by subject. This site will also thoroughly teach you how to read and write Hangeoul (한글), the Korean script, with many examples and even advanced consonant assimilation rules. The site was originally intended to explain everything in English, however as the majority of Korean language students these days are Japanese and Chinese, we encourage users to provide translations in both languages respectively.

In order to make use of this wiki, your computer must properly display Korean characters first. As a test, your browser should properly display the following: "한국어." If you see boxes, random characters or question marks, then your computer isn't displaying Korean characters properly.

Welcome to the Korean Wiki Project! This project is a collaborative effort to unify knowledge on the Korean language and to make the information easily accessible and relevant to anyone. First, it must be noted that this site is under major construction; A lot of the articles are incomplete and have only been created for future editing. One of the goals of this project is to provide the most accurate, in-depth information and translations for Korean grammar patterns and vocabulary words where other dictionaries and books fail. Another goal is to make all information on here simple and easy to understand. As more people contribute to this project, the information becomes more accurate and better explained. For more information on this project, see the [http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/about/ about] section.

As a student at the Language Education Institute at Seoul National University, [[User:Bluesoju|Chris]] noticed a lot of extra grammar rule details were not mentioned in any of my other textbooks. Then at higher levels the books we used at SNU no longer had explanations in English, so he would rely on his other textbooks to find out the exact meaning of certain grammars. It was becoming a hassle to find the extra details in his school notebook, as well as flipping through his other books to mix and match information he was looking for. He also found some books were providing more accurate translations than others, so he was looking through several books to see which explanation was the best.
+
  
−
After studying Korean in America and Canada, [[User:Mstrum|Matt]] felt many of the same things Chris did.  He studied from every book he could get his hands on, partially because every source was lacking in something.  Since he never visited Korea, he had to rely totally on those study materials and his Korean friends.  Matt and Chris had the same idea to start a Korean language resource site, so they decided to jointly found this project.

With a wiki, not only could we thoroughly describe the grammar, but we wouldn't have to carry it around like a book and able to access it anywhere via the internet. The goal is to unify information on the Korean language from all sources, as well as becoming the most accurate and thorough source for information on the Korean language. That goal can only be met with the right contributors to this wiki.

As with all good wikis, we need a number of good contributors, both non-native and native speakers alike. Non-native speakers, especially those who have taken Korean classes and own various textbooks, shouldn't shy away from contributing. However, with non-native speakers contributing, not all examples and sentences will come out correctly. There are always sentences that seem good, but still sound awkward to native speakers. This is where having native speakers contributing would be extremely helpful. If you want to start contributing now, please [[Special:UserLogin|create an account]]. After creating an account, please visit the [[Getting started|getting started]] guide for more helpful information.

A forum will be added so there can be discussions on standardization of this wiki. Also users in the future will be able to contribute their own skin. We also need some experienced wiki users with help modifying this wiki.

All of the below entries are important tasks. If you can, please contribute to these articles in any way possible to help fill in pages that have been identified as important.

Internet and text messaging
We need more work done on this page. Please add content to this page.
Sogang and Yonsei categories needed!
We already have categories up for grammar patterns that appear in the Seoul National University program in the grammar pattern section. However we need current and former Sogang and Yonsei students to categorize grammar patterns for their respective text books. For example, if you see a grammar pattern that appeared in the level 1 book of the Sogang program, add [[Category:Sogang Level 1 Grammar]] or if there is a grammar pattern in Yonsei's level 3 grammar add [[Category:Yonsei Level 3 Grammar]] to the bottom of the particular grammar page (and so on). As an example here are the categories for SNU:
Welcome template
Could someone please translate this into Korean as well? Just translate the basics and leave the links the same, I will fix the links.
Passive form
We need a more complete list of passive verbs.
Causative form
We need a more complete list of Causative verbs.

Incomplete examples
We need sentence examples for grammar pages, slang pages, proverb pages, and many others. If you are a native speaker, please visit the incomplete examples category to see which pages still need more sentence examples.
