This one is ours: FunPik runs a YouTube channel with around a thousand videos, and nobody can find anything in a list that long. These are the ones that help most if you live here. Everything linked below is free to watch — the members-only lessons are left out on purpose.
The Korean you need in a specific room
Grammar lessons teach you the language. These teach you one room. Watch the café one before you order, and the hospital one before you need it — that second one is much easier to study while you are well.
[Chat] Ordering in Korean at a cafeㅣ한국어로 커피 주문하기A short scripted conversation for ordering, paying and picking up.펀픽 FunPikTwo minutes, and it covers the exact exchange you will have at the counter.
16 Korean sentences in the hospitalㅣ병원에서 자주 말하는 한국어 표현The sentences that come up at reception and in the consulting room.펀픽 FunPikLearn these while you are healthy. Looking up vocabulary with a fever is not a plan.
[Chat] Getting care at the hospital in Koreanㅣ한국어로 병원 진료 받기The same situation as a full conversation, start to finish.펀픽 FunPikPairs with the one above — the sentence list first, then hear them in order.
If you are starting from the alphabet
Slow, repetitive and unglamorous. That is the point — these are meant to be replayed, not watched once.
Korean Pronunciation Practice: Basic Vowels 'ㅏ' & 'ㅓ'ㅣ한국어 발음 연습Mouth shape and sound for the two vowels people mix up first.펀픽 FunPikThese two are the most common first mistake, and the hardest to unlearn later.
Korean Listening Practice level 1 (#1)ㅣ한국어 듣기 연습Short listening clips at beginner speed.펀픽 FunPikUse it as a test, not a lesson. Listen once without subtitles first.
Korean Speaking Practice: Greeting (#1)ㅣ한국어 말하기 연습Greeting phrases with pauses to repeat after the speaker.펀픽 FunPikSay it out loud. Reading it silently does nothing for the muscles you actually use.
Sixty seconds at a time
Two series run in shorts. One teaches you to write a single syllable in the correct stroke order — handwriting is still how you fill in forms here. The other is just Korea in one unbroken shot, no lesson attached.
Write 국 — Korean Alphabet Stroke Order | Hangul Ep. 60One syllable, written in the correct order, in under a minute.펀픽 FunPikStroke order is not decoration. Write it wrong and Koreans can tell instantly.
Write 눈 — Korean Alphabet Stroke Order | Hangul Ep. 56Same series, another syllable.펀픽 FunPikAround sixty of these exist. One a day is a reasonable habit.
The Beauty of Korea in One Unbroken ShotA single continuous take, no narration.펀픽 FunPikNo lesson in this one. Some days that is what you want.
The Beauty of Korea — Winter, in One Unbroken ShotThe winter entry in the same series.펀픽 FunPikWorth saving for when the cold here stops feeling charming.
We made these, so treat this post as what it is. If something here is not useful, say so in the replies and we will stop putting it in front of you.
Which of these actually helped, and what should we film next?
