Contact your local university or college to see whether it offers Korean language instruction. Purchase Korean language textbooks at the school bookstore, along with any other study materials as required by the course.
Attend classes and become familiar with how to read and write the alphabet. Practice saying each letter until you get the pronunciation correct. Then start learning beginning vocabulary, such as numbers, parts of the body, colors and common objects.
Find out how to ask in Korean "What is this?" so you can point to something and let a fluent Korean speaker tell you its name.
Your school may have an audio laboratory, where you can listen to recordings of Korean language lessons and practice your pronunciation.
Make or purchase flashcards and use them to test your growing knowledge of Korean vocabulary and grammar.
Go to a free online Korean learning Web site. Look in the beginner's section, and find out how to write each letter in the Korean alphabet.
Practice writing words and phrases and study beginner's vocabulary lists. Click on audio links to hear what words sound like and repeat what you hear until you pronounce them correctly.
Learn about Korean's basic grammar, which takes the form of subject-object-verb. For example, while in English you would say, "I am going to the store to buy some clothes," in Korean you would say "I clothes to-buy in-order-to store-to-going-am."
Use a search engine to find a local Korean tutor, who you can hire for private instruction.
Meet on a regular basis and practice having conversations with your tutor. Write documents in Korean, such as essays, letters, or stories and have your tutor examine them for fluency and correct use of grammar and vocabulary.
Find out whether your tutor holds group meetings where you can gather with other people learning Korean. Meet with other students so you can practice having conversations, attend Korean language movies together and discuss them afterwards at a Korean restaurant.
