Have you tried the Sogang one?
It’s what I started with when I had no other resources and helped me immensly. http://korean.sogang.ac.kr should be the address if it hasn’t changed.

Hi there…
Well I have done some of the online Sogang university courses…. but that was a few years ago.

When I started to learn Korean, my friends were opposed to me learning to read (stupid right?), but im so stubborn, I learnt it in one afternoon.
After that I would practice my reading with newspapers (not knowing what it meant of course, but I couldn navigate with a dictionary and a few peices of scrap paper)… would watch Korean drama series/movies without subtitles.

Just force yourself to be as alienated as possible while learning.
I find that if something is too easy, or if there is too much english to fall back on when it gets difficult, you dont actually remember it.

Move there.

It is called total immersion.

Try using Pimsleur Language learning. It is easy and actually pretty cheap.

Yea, umm well its not really a program but if you go to google and click language tools and select to translate to koren you can learn any word in that language you would like to, but i don’t know i just like playing with that and to see how some words translate

good luck learning
