How I Study Korean

This is PART ONE - Main Educational Resources

Preply - tutoring site/app

It IS NOT free--you do have to pay for the classes, but each tutor sets their own prices.

I think this app is worth it because I don't learn well when I don't have someone who I can actually talk to about it, because I usually have questions (lol).

HowToStudyKorean.com - free site (i think they have an app too?)

I like their lessons and I like using it as another reference if I'm struggling to understand a concept.

Basic/Intermediate Korean - A Grammar and Workbook

Both by Andrew Byon

ON ARCHIVE.ORG

These are free digital books that I like to use as reference as well.

500 Basic Korean Verbs

By KyuByong Park

ON ARCHIVE.ORG

I suck at vocab so it's nice to have a book for it that isn't a dictionary (lol).
