A great playlist for the first few hours of Korean input - it's not long, but it's excellent for the absolute basics!

#2Learn Korean in Korean

Korean
Channel

* Paid / Subscription * Grammar in context, with tons of pantomime and repetition. Absolutely useful at no experience. I do only recommend the first playlist, 초급 Level 1-A, which I watched three or four times.

Loading...

Short, well-produced videos. Grammar, antonyms, commonly used words. Beginner to intermediate content!

Loading...

#4Breeze Korean

Korean
Channel

High quality complete beginner, mid/high beginner, and low intermediate videos! At the easiest, about the same difficulty as the above.

Loading...

#5Pronounce Korean

Korean
Channel

Short sentences on a theme, has some hard-coded translated subtitles but clearly marks off sections in his videos. Really repetitive & clear. Could easily be used as a podcast after the complete beginner level.

Loading...

Has two playlists for this level: Korean Short Stories Super Beginner & Beginner. Does more than one repeat in the same video.

Loading...

#7C.K.W.M.

Korean
Channel

Tiktok & youtube shorts.

Loading...

Short picture descriptions, repetitive and easy to understand. Generally varying quality, but there are a few hours of good content here!

Loading...

#9 Comprehensible Korean

Korean
Channel

Short drawing descriptions, not a lot of hours.

Loading...

#10 Storytime in Korean

Korean
Channel

A mix of beginner video games & easy podcast episodes.

Loading...

Heavy on songs, but overall super comprehensible. Lots of number vocab, of course!

Loading...

#12한글용사 아이야

Korean
TV Show

Kids show & an absolute favorite media for beginners. Kind of like Power Rangers but with reading. Playful, well structured, excellent balance of repetition & storytelling. Many, many hours of content, and still airing.

#13MUZZY Korean

Korean
TV Show

Famous for English learning, offers free trial. High difficulty placement due to characters' put-on voices, singing, music overlay.

Loading...

In addition to his Complete Beginner playlist: video games. Varying levels; at this point, anything marked A1 & A2. Personally I recommend unpacking, Hidden Folks & The White Door first - anything point and click.

#15Blippi Korean

Korean
TV Show

Live action & animated show for preschoolers. Great repetition for numbers, shapes, colors, etc. Dubbed.

Loading...

His Beginner-level playlist is great! Lots of video game stuff, a couple of traditional pictures & narration CI.

Loading...

A liberal amount of baby voices and oinking (꿀꿀), but with clear & slow speakers. Dubbed.

Loading...

The first real foray into preschool-level TV: harder than 한글용사 아이야, Blippi, and Peppa Pig, but great if you have a higher ambiguity tolerance. The public transit vehicles are surprisingly expressive & the adventures are fairly predictable/intuitive.

Loading...

Tayo spin-off, higher difficulty but relatively easy to intuit gist of dialogue.

Loading...

#20Pocoyo

Korean
TV Show

Narration overlaying six-minute adventures with rare dialogue interjections. Dubbed.

Loading...

* Paid / Subscription * Pretty strong/weird voice affectation, so not really highly recommended, but nevertheless repetitive & comprehensible.

Loading...

#22Bluey 블루이

Korean
TV Show

Hilarious kids show that many adults love. Could be low intermediate depending on the episode.

Loading...

* Paid / Subscription * Yet another cute, intuitive preschooler show. More difficult than the above, but still doable depending on your ambiguity tolerance.

Loading...

Probably the easiest podcast! Easy vocab & low beginner topics. Gives transcript/translation, around 12 minutes.

Loading...

#25Study Korean with Sol

Korean
Channel

Her Easy Korean Listening👂podcast varies pretty significantly in difficulty, and does repeat more than once in the same video. Slow speech, music in the background, transcript/translation given.

Loading...

Super short episodes (3-5 minutes!), clear & simple speech.
