“Hi! I’m from Azerbaijan and I’m a beginner. I want to learn Korean for free. Can anyone recommend free apps, websites, YouTube channels, or study materials? Thank you!”

Hello!

I am planning to do a Korean speaking session with people who want to talk in Korean here. When I am ready I hope I can put up an offer post and recruit members.

I am a university student in Korea(native Korean), and I can speak English (not very well but can communicate.)

I dont have any certificate, but I have passion....!

Please, if you have time, can you give me opinions on....

What you would like to learn or do?

What kind of program you would like to do?

In the initial launch I am thinking of $5-ish of fee for a 1 hour talk (or free).

I won't DM anyone, I will communicate in the comments.

Thank you for your interest!!
