Lately, I have been meeting many international people who are passionately interested in Korean culture and language. Interestingly, they were having their own specific motivations and reasons for that. Some of them are getting to know Korean culture and language through BTS or other K-pop (usually, young girls or kids but there are many adult-fans too from Europe or USA). Some of them are getting to know those through Korean Drama - K-drama (usually, middle-age ladies whose original ethnicity is Asian such as China, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc.). I was happy whenever they started to speak a few Korean words with big smile to me right after they'd known that I am a Korean.
So, I would like to introduce 3 awesome tools to help your Korean language training with this post!
If you can speak English other than your own mother language, it would be much easier to learn/practice Korean language with original Korean people as actually many Korean eager to learn/practice their English skill with international friends. Thus, I recommend for you to try these below web/mobile tools!
1. Talk to me in Korean (Youtube)

This is very well-known and qualified contents provider in the category of Korean language training in Youtube. Even my close friend who is a college professor teaching Korean language in US said that she is using some contents from this channel for her lecture. Definitely, she is a very authorized professor in teaching Korean language so it's a big credit! Specially, if you are a beginner, this channel can introduce to you the various aspects and levels of Korean language.

Though this website, you can find 1:1 language tutors who can teach you the language you want to learn or practice. It is not a free tutoring which means you have to pay for each lesson and those tutors should be qualified with certain criteria in language teaching. The lesson price is vary depending on the qualifications of tutors.
3. Hellotalk (Language Exchange)
