Korean

Korean has around 80 million native speakers worldwide, and uses Hangul (한글), the Korean alphabet invented in the 15th century by King Sejong and his advisors. Unlike other East Asian languages, Korean is not tonal which does make it feel more accessible to beginner learners. As many aspects of Korean culture have gone viral worldwide, more and more people are putting Korean at the top of their 'to study' list - to visit the bustling cities of Seoul and Busan to taste their favourite Korean food, to better understand their favourite Korean dramas or just to immerse themselves in a challenge of a new language.

Beginners' Korean is great for the complete beginner who wants to be able to feel more comfortable with the Korean language. 

Script Hacking Korean is great for the traveller, who might just want to make roaming the streets and menus on their visit a little easier by understanding the alphabet.
