	One of the first and most important tasks in getting started with any Internet material is assuring the proper display of all page elements. Top in priority for the Korean Wiki Project is being able to read Korean. To test this, see this segment of text: "안녕하세요?" If you see question marks or a series of boxes, you must install Korean on your computer. To do so, please see the [[Help:Installing Korean\|installing Korean help page]]. Many up-to-date browsers natively support the display of most popular languages but do so with only one fontset that is sometimes difficult to read. Therefore it is recommended that you install Korean to obtain more fonts for the proper display of all pages and for ease of reading.

+While this Wiki's main purpose is to aid in the study of Korean (as opposed to being your study of Korean), we have also prepared some material to assist the absolute beginner. Hopefully we can steer you in the direction of a successful approach to learning this language. For such users, we cannot stress enough the importance of [[Learn hangeul|learning Hangeul]], the Korean alphabet. Knowing this script is the key to more accurate pronunciations and the ability to read. Romanizations, on the other hands, do just the opposite and are likely the worst route. Following the learning of Hangeul, you should learn some basic phrases and grammar to begin to build your understanding of Korean. While we have yet to provide such structured approaches, we hope to do so in the future. For additional pointers in beginning your study of Korean, please see the [[Introduction to Korean]].

	While this Wiki's main purpose is to aid in the study of Korean (as opposed to being your study of Korean), we have also prepared some material to assist the absolute beginner. Hopefully we can steer you in the direction of a successful approach to learning this language. For such users, we cannot stress enough the importance of [[Learn hangeul\|learning Hangeul]], the Korean alphabet. Knowing this script is the key to more accurate pronunciations and the ability to read. Romanizations, on the other hands, do just the opposite and are likely the worst route. Following the learning of Hangeul, you should learn some basic phrases and grammar to begin to build your understanding of Korean. While we have yet to provide such structured approaches, we hope to do so in the future. For additional pointers in beginning your study of Korean, please see the [[Introduction to Korean]].
