I've been studying Korean for about 10 months and have used both free and paid online resources.

While there are a lot of online learning opportunities, Essential Korean is the only resource I've found that provides the repetitive drilling and thoughtful testing that I need to make sure I've learned something.

I love this and have subscribed to the online content, love that I can read along with the transcript of each podcast. [Teacher Kay's] content motivates me to continue learning the language.

This is a great podcast to learn how to speak Korean. The teacher not only teaches you about language, but also Korean culture and history which is absolutely fascinating. Would highly recommend this podcast and the website.

For approximately one year, I've been studying Korean diligently on Essential Korean and have found her site to be the best one for advancing in the language without feeling overwhelmed.  The combination of listening to the EK podcasts and then reviewing and getting into the nitty-gritty using the courses as a tool, ensure that concepts are understood allowing you to move forward to the next level with confidence. 


It takes time and commitment but EK will get you speaking and understanding the language.
