I am really really glad @minminfan brought up the topic on resources to learn Korean. I am one of those people that likes to know a little bit about anything and everything. At one point, in my quest for knowledge, I stumbled upon Coursera.org. People, this website is GOLD. It has free classes on almost any subject you can imagine, from universities around the WORLD. You can audit ANYCLASS and take it for free. If you want certification, you will have to pay. I think education should be mad as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. Yeah I’m one of them crazy people. Sue me. GOING ON. This being said, there are plethora of websites with FREE educational contents on almost ANY subject out there. Now that doesn’t mean you can be a doctor just by taking these classes. This is for basic or targeted knowledge. I have a whole list of websites, so if you’re looking for something specific and can’t find it on Coursera, let me know.
Now for learning Korean, here’s how I started and might work for you.
There are plenty of other websites that go into further study of the language once you know the basics, but these are some of the places I go to learn basics.
Questions are always welcomed and I will be happy to help anyone finding other resources. Just ask
Thank you for sharing! I use a lot of these, but I completely forgot that I should check Coursera! I used to check it regularly for different courses I was interested in, because it really is such a fantastic site.
Good Luck! Let me know if you need other resources 😀 Coursera is a great place to learn all sorts of things so based on your interests you may be able to find other classes as well!

Now for learning Korean, here’s how I started and might work for you.
Coursera has two classes from Yonsei University. Start with:
First Step Korean: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learn-korean/home/welcome
Then go onto: Learn to Speak Korean: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learn-speak-korean1/home/welcome
Other Resources:
https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit0/unit0lesson1/
TalktomeinKorean website that has really good lessons as well.
There are plenty of other websites that go into further study of the language once you know the basics, but these are some of the places I go to learn basics.
