I learned Korean the fun way, while living in Korea (Seoul) over a number of years and starting a family with a Korean woman. The language itself seems very technical and lacks the many "exceptions" you find in, say, English, which to me makes it a tad less frustrating to learn in the beginning, although the myriad of verb stems and when to use them may just drive you insane in the end. In any case, if you are even remotely interested, I'd also definitely recommend just starting with the alphabet to see how you like it. I recall it being referred to as "the morning language (alphabet?)" in school since you can learn to read in a morning if you're devoted enough. In my experience, this is mostly true but you will need more time to grasp the rules (e.g. sounds change when placed next to each other) and some of the finer points of the pronunciation (어 vs 오, etc). There are many good resources out there but the Korean subreddit is a great place to start -- https://reddit.com/r/korean https://reddit.com/r/korean
