|style="color:#000;"| <div id="mp-tfa">Welcome to the Korean Language wiki (under major construction). This site is a collaborative effort to unify knowledge on the Korean language and make information easily accessible to anyone. First let me say this site is under major construction. A lot of the articles are incomplete and have been added for future editing. The site hasn't been publicly released yet and won't be until a good amount of articles have been finished.

This website will explain Korean grammar patterns, Korean idioms, slangs, along with practical vocabulary words. This site will also thoroughly teach you how to read and write 한글, the Korean script, with many examples and even advanced consonant assimilation rules. The site was originally intended to explain everything in English, however as the majority of Korean language students these days are Japanese and Chinese, we encourage users to provide translations in both languages respectively.
 
  
−
In order to make use of this wiki, your computer must properly display Korean characters first. As a test, your browser should properly display the following: "한국어." If you see boxes, random characters or question marks, then your computer isn't displaying Korean characters properly. For simple instructions on how to make your computer display Korean characters go [[Help:Installing Korean|here]].

Welcome to the Korean Wiki Project! This project is a collaborative effort to unify knowledge on the Korean language and to make the information easily accessible and relevant to anyone. First, it must be noted that this site is under major construction; A lot of the articles are incomplete and have only been created for future editing. One of the goals of this project is to provide the most accurate, in-depth information and translations for Korean grammar patterns and vocabulary words where other dictionaries and books fail. Another goal is to make all information on here simple and easy to understand. As more people contribute to this project, the information becomes more accurate and better explained. For more information on this project, see the [http://www.koreanwikiproject.com/about/ about] section.

|style="color:#000;"| <div id="mp-dyk">As with all good wikis, we need a number of good contributers, both non-native and native speakers alike. Non-native speakers, especially those who have taken Korean classes and own various textbooks, shouldn't shy away from contributing. However, with non-native speakers contributing, not all examples and sentences will come out correctly. There are always sentences that seem good, but still sound awkward to native speakers. This is where having native speakers contributing would be extremely helpful. If you want to start contributing now, please [[Special:UserLogin|create an account]].

|style="color:#000;"| <div id="mp-itn">As a student at the Language Education Institute at Seoul National University, I noticed a lot of extra grammar rule details were not mentioned in any of my other textbooks. Then at higher levels the books we used at SNU no longer had explanations in English, so I would rely on my other textbooks to find out the exact meaning of certain grammars. It was becoming a hassle to find the extra details in my school notebook, as well as flipping through my other books to mix and match information I was looking for. I also found some books were providing more accurate translations than others, so I was looking through several books to see which explanation was the best.

With a wiki, not only could we thoroughly describe the grammar, but we wouldn't have to carry it around like a book and able to access it anywhere via the internet. The goal is to unify information on the Korean language from all sources, as well as becoming the most accurate and thorough source for information on the Korean language. That goal can only be met with the right contributors to this wiki.

Welcome to the Korean Wiki Project! This project is a collaborative effort to unify knowledge on the Korean language and to make the information easily accessible and relevant to anyone. First, it must be noted that this site is under major construction; A lot of the articles are incomplete and have only been created for future editing. One of the goals of this project is to provide the most accurate, in-depth information and translations for Korean grammar patterns and vocabulary words where other dictionaries and books fail. Another goal is to make all information on here simple and easy to understand. As more people contribute to this project, the information becomes more accurate and better explained. For more information on this project, see the about section.

  • If you have any suggestions, ideas, or requests for this wiki, please post them on here (you do not need an account): Suggestions and Requests
  • A lot of the articles here are incomplete. If you would like to request an article to be finished, we can give it priority. To do so, just leave a comment here: Suggestions and Requests

Urgent orange.png Urgent Tasks

[ edit ]
All of the below entries are important tasks. If you can, please contribute to these articles in any way possible to help fill in pages that have been identified as important.

Internet and text messaging
We need more work done on this page. Please add content to this page.
Sogang and Yonsei categories needed!
We already have categories up for grammar patterns that appear in the Seoul National University program in the grammar pattern section. However we need current and former Sogang and Yonsei students to categorize grammar patterns for their respective text books. For example, if you see a grammar pattern that appeared in the level 1 book of the Sogang program, add [[Category:Sogang Level 1 Grammar]] or if there is a grammar pattern in Yonsei's level 3 grammar add [[Category:Yonsei Level 3 Grammar]] to the bottom of the particular grammar page (and so on). As an example here are the categories for SNU:
Welcome template
Could someone please translate this into Korean as well? Just translate the basics and leave the links the same, I will fix the links.
Passive form
We need a more complete list of passive verbs.
Causative form
We need a more complete list of Causative verbs.
Assistant.png Experts and Native Speakers
Grammar
The grammar pages could always use more detailed or clear explanations. In fact, many of the grammar patterns still need to be defined and need examples. If you are a native speaker, please add sentence examples and explanations.
Grammar comparison
Do you know the distinction between two grammars? Please explain the difference or add more details to an already written article to help clarify some difficult similarities.
Incomplete examples
We need sentence examples for grammar pages, slang pages, proverb pages, and many others. If you are a native speaker, please visit the incomplete examples category to see which pages still need more sentence examples.
Hanja
Help complete our list of examples for individual Chinese roots or Hanja pages. Add examples, check for correct meanings, or add new characters that you find missing.
Slang and Proverbs
Please help organize and add new slang and proverbs.
Korean translation needed!
The pages listed here need to have a Korean version translated for them. If it is possible, please translate the English and make a Korean version for Korean users.

Add or edit articles about Korean culture or living in Korean in this section.
Visit a random page
Visit a random page and see if you can spot any typos, errors, inaccuracies, or if there is anything you can add to the article. If you find a page much lacking in the quality or quantity of its information, please stub it by adding the following text to the page:
