== English (אנגלית) ==
Hello, everyone! I'm DontEvenSpeakKorean! As my name implies, I can't speak any Korean. It's kind of a funny story: I found this site through TalkToMeInKorean.com, but I wasn't looking really to learn Korean as much as learn about the culture. I wanted to learn about Korean culture because I am now at a university that has lots of Korean students, whereas before nearly all my classmates were Jewish, Hebrew-speaking people. I thought the site was such a good resource, that I wanted to give something back, so I thought I'd see what I can do here on the wiki. I haven't done much yet, but maybe I can contribute in some small way because TTMIK is such a great resource. I can speak English, Hebrew, and Spanish, so maybe I can translate some of the TTMIK lessons to Hebrew. Unfortunately, my Spanish grammar isn't very good, so I don't think I can be of much use there!

I really do love languages, and would perhaps like to learn Korean some day as a language, but for now, I hope I can be of some use to this site. To all those who are learning Korean, good luck!

Feel free to drop me a line!

שלום לכולם! קוראים לי DontEvenSpeakKorean! כמו השם שלי הציע, אני לא יכול לדבר קוריאנית בכלל. זה סיפור קצת מצחיק.: מצאתי את האתר הזה בTalkToMeInKorean.com, אבל באמת לא מחפשתי במשהו ללמוד קוריאנית. רציתי ללמוד על התרבות דווקא. רציתי ללמוד על זאת מפני שאני עכשיו הולך לאוניברסיטה שיש הרבה תלמידים קוריאנים שם. קודם, כמעט 100% של התלמידים בבית ספר תיכון שלי היו יהודים.

חשבתי שבאתר TTMIK היה הרבה מידע מצוין. ואז רציתי לתת משהו ובגלל זה, אני פה בויקי. עוד לא עשיתי הרבה, אבל אולי בעתיד אני יכול להיות מועיל. באמת TTMIK אתר טוב מאוד. אני מבין אנגלית, עברית, וספרדית, אז אולי אני יכול לתרגם את שיעורים של TTMIK לעברית... הדיקדוק שלי בספרדית לא כל כך טוב, אז כנראה לא יהיה יכולת אמיתי...

אני מאוד אוהב שפות דווקא ואולי בעתיד אני אלמד קוריאנית. אבל בשלב זה, אין לי את הזמן. לכולם שלומדים קוריאנית עכשיו, בהצלחה!

==FAQ==
Frequently asked questions and useful information.

===How do I start translating?===
Before translating, you should learn how to edit a wiki page. Most of the things you will need to learn will be in the toolbar (see below). After learning how to edit:
#[[Special:UserLogin|Create an account]] or [[Special:UserLogin|login]].
#Click on a level you want to translate
#Find the lesson you want to edit.
##If you would like to see an example of an edited page, see [[TTMIK sample page‎]]
#On the right side, click on the language you want to translate. If the page has not been created yet, the link will be in red. To create the page, just click on the red link and start editing.

You can also change your default language by editing your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]].
====Basic Editing====
You don't even need to learn most of the wiki syntax, you can simple just use the toolbar. Highlight the text you want and click on the appropriate button.

|
<div style="font-size:150%;border-bottom:1px solid rgb(170,170,170);">Level 2 heading</div>

''Headings'' organize your writing into sections.
The Wiki software can automatically generate
a table of contents from them.

<div style="font-size:132%;font-weight:bold;">Level 3 heading</div>
Using more equals signs creates a subsection.

<div style="font-size:116%;font-weight:bold;">Level 4 heading</div>

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.

Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.

Thanks, and thanks! As my name suggests, I really don't know a lick of Korean, but I love computers and can copy-edit. So, I will try to help in a small way at least. Great project! I have been studying Japanese, and I think your observation that there are way more Japanese-related resources is absolutely true, so I like the idea of the wiki project.

DontEvenSpeakKorean: /* How do I type a Hanja character? */ Added a Mac section.

{{Notice|Under construction}}
'''Hanja''' (한자, 漢字) is the Korean name for '''Chinese characters'''. More specifically, it refers to those Chinese characters borrowed from Chinese and incorporated into the Korean language with Korean pronunciation. ''Hanja-mal'' (한자말) or ''hanja-eo'' (한자어, [[漢]][[字]][[語]]) refers to words which can be written with hanja, and ''hanmun'' (한문, [[漢]][[文]]) refers to Classical Chinese writing, although "hanja" is sometimes used loosely to encompass these other concepts. Because hanja never underwent major reform, they are almost entirely identical to traditional Chinese and ''kyūjitai'' characters. Only a small number of hanja characters are modified or unique to Korean. By contrast, many of the Chinese characters currently in use in Japan (''kanji'') and Mainland China have been simplified, and contain fewer strokes than the corresponding hanja characters.

==FAQ==
===What is the point in learning Hanja?===
A great deal of Korean words are made up of hanja. Learning the hanja will allow you to memorize the words more quickly, as knowing the roots will assist you in this process. In English, it can be equated to knowing Latin and Greek root words. Knowing the root of a word can help you understand its meaning and remember it later. This will also serve you well in other countries. If your visual memory is strong, the hanja you learn in Korea can be found (with some differences) in Japan, China and Taiwan. Thus even a limited grasp of hanja is useful when traveling in Asia. For example, numbers for dates, times, and prices.

There are also a lot of hanja the average person is expected to know, for example man (男) and woman (女), so a door might be labeled with the hanja characters on a rest room door. This would be a good time to know hanja so you don't walk into the wrong bathroom! For real life images of hanja in use, see: [[:Category:Hanja images]]

===Does every Hanja character have only one sound representation?===
No, some Hanja characters have more than one representation.

In some cases the pronunciation depends on where it appears in a word. For example the character [[年]](year) is pronounced as 연 if it appears at the beginning of the word, and 년 if it appears elsewhere. Their pronunciations, though, often closely resemble each other. See the table below:


{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Character !! Korean representation !! Notes !! Examples
|-
|年 (year) ||연, 년 || Pronounced 연 at the beginning of a word, 년 elsewhere
|
*연초 <年初> - the beginning of the year
*연말 <年末> - the end of the year
*작년 <昨年> - last year
*내년 <來年> - next year
|-
|立 (stand, establish )||입, 립 || Pronounced 입 at the beginning of a word, 립 elsewhere
|
*입식 <立式> -
*독립 <獨立> - independence
*조립 <組立> - construction, set-up

|-
|女 (girl, woman)||여, 녀 || Pronounced 여 at the beginning of a word, 녀 elsewhere
|
*여자 <女子> - woman, female
*여학생 <女學生> - a female student
*소녀 <少女> - a young girl
*미녀 <美女> - a beautiful girl
|-
|不 (negation) ||불, 부 || No rule, some words just use one or the other
|
*부정 <不正> - unlawfulness, dishonesty
*부득이 <不得已> - unavoidably, inevitably
*불편 <不便> - discomfort
*불가능 < 不可能 > - impossibility
|}


===How do I find a certain character in a dictionary?===
Depending on dictionary, there are a number of ways to look up a character, especially in electronic ones. They can sometimes be found in the 국어 ''(language)'' menu.
 

'''Normal look up (한글->한자)'''
 
This is probably the easiest way to find one in daily use in Korea. This type of look up is for Sino-Korean vocabulary (words of Chinese origin). For example, to see which characters make up the word 무한 ([[無]][[限]]), just type in the words as you would in a normal Korean vocabulary look up and the characters should appear next to the Korean word. Some electric dictionaries will have separate look up methods, one for normal Korean usage, and one that will break down each character and will give meanings for each character.
 

'''By Pronunciation/음 (한글->한자)'''
 
Type in the pronunciation, for example 무, and anywhere from 10 to 60 different characters will be shown that has that pronunciation. Although a clear demonstration as to the need for hanja for clarification, this is a fairly tedious way to find characters.
 

'''By Stroke/획수 (한자->한글)'''
 
For many simple characters and beginners, it is easiest to count the number of strokes and putting that number into the search. "총획수" indicates that the number of strokes you put in is the number of strokes for the entire character.
 

'''By Radical/부수 (한자->한글)'''
 
For more complex characters and those familiar with hanja, it is easiest to look up by number of strokes in the radical (부수획수). Correctly identify the number of strokes in the radical and type that into the search. Then type the number of strokes in the rest of the character (잔여획수).

===In what order are the strokes for a character?===

===How do I type a Hanja character?===
====For Windows====
[[File:Language bar undocked windows7.jpg|right|thumb|Undocked language bar panel on Windows 7|250px]]
[[File:Language bar docked windows7.jpg|right|thumb|Docked language bar panel on Windows 7|250px]]
Type in the Korean 한글 equivalent of the word for which you want the hanja form. While the the character is still "active" (meaning you can still see the line underneath the character), click the [漢] icon (in the language toolbar) and a small menu of the all the possible hanja characters should pop up. Type the designated number or click the desired character and it should replace the Korean 한글 with hanja. Alternatively, you can click on the bucket icon to draw the hanja you want.
{{-}}
====For Mac OS X====
[[File:Type-hanja-mac.png|right|thumb|Hanja selection list in Mac OS X TextEdit.|250px]]
[[File:Mac hanja settings.png|right|thumb|Various Hanja-related preferences. Can be accessed through the flag icon at the top-right of screen.|250px]]
First, enable 한글 typing in the language system preferences; the keyboard input method doesn't matter. Just like in Windows, the "active" character is represented by an underline. While a character is still active, press the key combination "Option-Return." A list of potential Hanja shows up for that character.

You can also change the way Hanja characters are displayed, such as having the 한글 preserved while parenthetically adding Hanja. This and several other Hanja-related settings can be accessed by clicking the flag drop-down menu in the upper-right of the Mac screen.
