The Korean Wiki Project is a collaborative effort to unify knowledge on the Korean language and to make the information easily accessible and relevant to anyone. First, this site is under major construction. A lot of the articles are incomplete and have been created for future editing. One of the goals of this project is to provide the most accurate, in depth information and accurate 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 don't need an account): Suggestions and Requests


Question orange.pngGetting Started

First thing, do you see random boxes and gibberish or Korean characters: "안녕하세요?" If you see gibberish, you need to install Korean characters. (link)

  • If you are using an old browser such as internet explorer 6, please upgrade! Not only are you using a browser thats 9 years old, but one that's unsafe. The internet has changed a lot in 9 years, look into download the latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera or the latest version of Internet Explorer. Without a new browser, this site cannot be displayed properly! See the difference here. (Perhaps needs a browser sniffer here if possible)
  • In order to contribute to this wiki, you need to be able to type in Korean in most cases. For instructions on how to install Korean language input, click here
  • If you are not able to read the Korean script, then the first thing you should do is learn how to read it. Check the out Learn hangeul section.
  • A lot of the articles here are not incomplete, if you'd like to request an article to finished, we can give it priority, just leave a comment here: Suggestions and Requests

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:
