The site hasn't been publicly released yet and won't be until a good amount of articles have been completed.

| − | This website explains Korean grammar patterns, idioms, slang, along with practical vocabulary words organized by subject. This site will also thoroughly teach you how to read and write Hangeul (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.

| |
| − | <div style="border-bottom:1px solid #007236; padding:0.4em 1em 0.3em;">
| |
| − | Anyone who has studied Korean as a second language knows it’s hard to find a book that is both accurate and easy to read. On top of that, most books don’t provide thorough details on grammar usage and don’t describe the feeling certain grammar and words give. Even the best dictionaries provide no insight into whether the word is mostly used by females, if it’s inappropriate to use with strangers and if the word sounds too formal to use on most occasions. These are often learned in intensive language institutes and through immersing yourself in Korean, where using the wrong word might’ve made a few people laugh at your expense.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For students studying at a language institute, the standard text book might not provide enough explanations, examples or have numerous bad translations. So these students often rely on other textbooks (which have their own problems as well) and end up looking through several textbooks. When it’s time to study, no student wants to carry around several textbooks and hunt for the same grammar pattern in each one. Additionally, there will be things the student learns in class that aren’t provided in any of their textbooks.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With a wiki, people who have already figured out accurate translations for Korean grammar patterns can give their own 2 cents on current articles, as well as create their own articles. Telling the textbook it’s wrong isn’t going to change anything, whereas in a wiki if you see something wrong you can fix it yourself and add your own insight. Furthermore no one wants to carry around several text books and pages of notes and go searching through them; it’s much easier to pull up an article on this wiki, not to mention it can be accessed anywhere, anytime. For more information, see [[Korean_Wiki_Project:About|about Korean Wiki Project]].

Non-native speakers, especially those who have taken Korean classes and own various textbooks, shouldn't shy away from contributing. By contributing, you can help cement concepts in your mind. 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. The more people contributing, the more we can get done, which means more accurate and thorough information about the Korean language available to everyone.
