Frequently Asked Questions

Will you be adding more to the tutorial?

No, probably not. I have moved on to other interests, and frankly, haven't kept up with my studies of Korean. I might clean up the HTML and make the pages look cosmetically nicer, but that's about all.

So, where can I find out more about Korean?

Go to the links page.

How can I type Korean in my word processor?

See the Hangul and Internet in Korea FAQ.

Can you tell me how to say/write fill-in-the-blank in Korean?

Sorry, no. I am not a native speaker of Korean, and any answer I give you is an educated guess at best. I'd rather not risk making a mistake, especially when the request is preceded by, "I want to make a gift for an important occasion for my best friend in the whole world," or "I want to get a tattoo..." For those names which I have had time to do, the results are on this page

How did you get interested in Korean? / Are you Korean?

I'm not Korean, nor have I any Korean relatives. I'm an American from Peoria, Illinois. I did study Japanese for a time, and realized that if I lived to be 1000 I'd never be able to learn to read and write it. Once I found that Korean had an alphabet, I decided I'd give it a try. I also like Korean food a lot.

May I download your tutorial?

Sure, go ahead. Just visit the download page and follow the instructions. Then you can use the tutorial without needing to be connected to the internet. If you do make a copy on your own website, I'd appreciate knowing about it. (Unlike Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, who not only made a public copy without so much as a by-your-leave, but rewrote the introduction to make it seem as if I had written it for them!)
