Well, yea, I’ve just been working hard over on the Korean Wiki Project.  I just want to update everyone on it so we can get some feedback (if y’all have any).

One of our goals is to be the most comprehensive source for learning Hangeul.  Yeah, yeah, I know there’s a number of sites out there for you to learn Hangeul.  Nevertheless, we will have the most information for you on the language organized in a fashion so that you don’t have to be a linguist to understand things.  Even in it’s current state, I think our Hangeul pages contain more information on the individual characters (excluding audio/video material) than just about any other site (I could be wrong, it’s happened before).

I’ve been going through the 자모 (letter) pages trying to find out what we needed to include.  We don’t have any sound files, so please don’t complain that you don’t hear anything when you hit the play button on the examples.  For now they’re just filler.  Anyways, this is what we’ve come up with so far for the character pages:

http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/index.php?title=ㄱ

If the above link doesn’t work for you, try this one:

http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/wiki/index.php?title=%E3%84%B1

You can find more information on the other characters, but ㄱ is really the page we’re working on before completely deciding on a style and how to present the information.

So, what do y’all think?  Any suggestions?  Please remember that it’s a (major) work in progress, so be nice

Want to learn about the various dialects of Korean?  Why would you want to learn a dialect?  Here’s one example showing the different ways to say dragonfly (잠자리):

Here’s a quick map showing the different dialects and where they’re spoken:

You can click on an area from the map on the dialects page over on the Korean Wiki Project to learn more about its dialect.  We currently have a lot up on the following dialects:

• 제주
• 경상
• 평안 (Standard North Korean)

We need more information on:

• 충청
• 전라
• 강원
• 함경
• 황해

If you know anything about those dialects, we would love for you to contribute your unique knowledge!  Just create an account and start editing away.
