LISTENING
The Next Section Is Comprised Of Listening
Resources, Mainly Podcasts and Videos That
You Can Use To Practice Listening. I Have
Them Seperated By Level. There Is Not An
Extensive List At The Moment But Will
Continually Be Added To Overtime
ALL LEVELS
Kingka Podcast
A great choice if you like Korean
dramas and movies. I will say this
podcast seems less focused on
Korean listening and more on
culture and explaing kdramas.

Talk To Me In Korean
Talk To Me In Korean has a few
different podcasts for all levels,
including a series in 100% korean
and 2 about everyday
conversational Korean
 BEGINNER
TTMIK - Core Kor. Grammar
Another podcast TTMIK has is one on core
Korean grammar and beginner concepts.
Definitely one to check out!

Korean - Survival Phrases

If you have a trip planned to South Korea
soon or want to nail some key Korean
phrases this is great. It will definitely
increase your understanding.

Essential Korean
This one is very promising. Almost like a
combination of the 2 mentioned above.
From what I’ve seen It looks like you can
learn how to say a lot of things with this
podcast - through grammar and phrases.
 BEGINNER
Junior Naver Stories
There are a lot of videos here that are
meant for Korean kids, but amazing for
beginner as you can learn lots of words and
phrases here - I definitely wouldn’t skip this
as a beginner. At the top there are different
categories of videos you can go to. There is
even a section where they read books on
video.
INTERMEDIATE
Sponge Mind
This is a bilingual podcast that uses mostly
Korean and a small amount of English.
Episdoes come with transcriptions as well.
Definitely recommend!

IYAGI Series - TTMIK

Talk to me in Korean is back once again on
the list. This series was made specifically for
Intermediate learners and lots of interesting
topics are talked about. Mostly in the form
of conversation between 2 Koreans.

Sparkling Korean
Although these episodes were made quite
awhile ago there’s great content to practice
listening with. The concepts feel more
beginner, but Intermediates can use it to
improve comprehension in Korean.
INTERMEDIATE
Hangugeo con AngDuck
There’s plenty of episodes and
many interesting topics
introduced. A great way to absorb
Korean naturally through daily
listening.

Intermediate Korean
The speaking is clear and the
episodes are pretty concise. There
are Korean transcripts provided
for every thing said in the
episodes. Very good choice!
ADVANCED
PODBANG
There are actually 3 separate
podcasts here that could be good
for Advanced learners. 1 is more
news like talking about current
events - HERE. The 2nd is more
about comedy - HERE. The last one
has to do with relationship advice
and counseling - HERE. All very
interesting topics!
 KOREAN
READING
The Next Section Is Comprised Of Reading
Resources. Free Reading Materials Are Notoriously
Hard To Find For Korean Language. I Did My Best
And Researched As Much As I Could. I Have
Them Seperated By Level. There Is Not An
Extensive List At The Moment But Will
Continually Be Added To Overtime.
 ALL LEVELS
LingQ
My personal favorite app/website. The
downside is it isn’t free, but the link above
allows you to test out the app
before committing to anything.
Material for all levels, plus you can
listen and read at the same time.
You can import videos or shows from
places like Netflix and study them.

StoryKorean.com
This site has stories for beginners and
Intermediates and it’s based around
Korean culture related topics. Definitely
a good choice!
ALL LEVELS
Vocabspace App
This app has articles on different
topics like entertainment/kpop,
technology, sports, beauty, etc.
You can look up the meaning of words
in app by clicking on them.
 BEGINNER
쥬니어 네이버 (Junior Naver)
I mentioned this in listening resources
too, because you can listen and read
Kids stories at the same time. There are
different categories as welll.

채널예스 한글동화 Channel Yes

Kids Stories
I mentioned this in listening resources
too, because you can listen and read
Kids stories at the same time. There are
different categories as welll.
INTERMEDIATE
Naver Blogs
You can search for blogs on any topic
you’d like to read about. I even
sometimes search for Korean lessons here
so I can read lessons in Korean.

Korea Times - Bilingual News

Reports
RECHE CK THIS LINK

Kids Dong - Short News Reports

A of recent news articles, although
visually it’s quite plain looking. Great for
finding lots of vocabulary words.
 ADVANCED
Series By Naver
Here they have web novels, webtoons,
and ebooks all in Korean. You can
definitely find something interesting.

TOPIK 2 Mock Reading Tests

This isn’t like the other options, but
evem if you’re not planning to take
the Topik exam you can use the
mock exams as reading practice.

Bilingual News Reports

It has Interesting news articles - each
has the English and then the Korean
translation underneath.
 END OF CURRENT
VERSION OF MAP
I’m slowly starting to update and add on
more things little by little. Hopefully, I will
always keep updating it so that it can
eventually be filled with endleses resources.
I will add in listening, reading, writing, and
speaking sections too, but for now this is
all. It will be updated every couple
of months and accessible on the
"Digital Community Library" on
KoreanStudyJunkie.com
