People believe they can succeed trying to understand Korean from listening to music. A lot of people don’t have the money for enrolling in courses. So there’s more interest in study methods. These are good times to be learning languages.

The dictionaries were downloaded from abloz (dot) com /huzheng/stardict-dic/ko/ which labels them as either “free to use” or GPL. However I don’t know here they were originally sourced from …

Additionally the dictionaries are lacking some words.. especially recent technology words… That said it’s pretty complete so would be a good start i think. What do you think?

Let me know if I can help out with the development. A Korean version of this would be gold! I’m using the Chinese perapera daily. great tool.

Yeah I have heard that Naver is good.
I doubt we would be able to use that as the dictionary though due to copyright issues.
For some reason the Korean characters aren’t displaying properly. Probably a bug in the blog software…
Thanks for commenting!

And about the cognates… It’s not a big deal; You just have to take a peek at the word’s Hanja (??/??) when you learn a new Sino-Korean word… Unlike japanese, the vast majority of them only have one reading.

For example, let’s suppose you know that University in korean is ?? wich comes from ?? (? is the older form of ?, Koreans didn’t go thru a ?? simplification process). And you know that ?? is ??… So, student (??) is….. Yeah, ??. Is that simple. And like this you can guess a lot of words or remeber them more easily!

Hi Yang. Good point about the loan words! I have heard that too. Being a lazy person, I am really looking forward to using my Japanese vocabulary to learn new Korean words!
I haven’t seen any decent plugins/dictionaries for Korean either. Let’s see what we can do. Thanks for commenting.

I remember I saw a korean plugin similiar to japanese and chinese peraperas on Google Chrome, but it was really laggy and buggy. Dunno what the source dictionary was, Sorry. I think it was called “Ihae-ssi” or something alike the “rikai-chan” naming.
