Collection Information
Korean youtube channels and media that can be comprehensible for day one beginners! There's a regular 'beginner' list as well. Sorted by gold/silver/bronze medalists for quality, and within that, difficulty.
My favorite channel back in the day! They have a very, very solid playlist for complete beginners!
A great playlist for the first few hours of Korean input - it's not long, but it's excellent for the absolute basics! 🥇
His A0 playlist, short, sweet, and very basic! 🥇
Huge fan of his SB playlist!!! Classic comprehensible input style stuff. Also seems to be working on a website like Dreaming Spanish, for which I am very excited :)🥇
#5KIWI-Korean Input With Images: Korean 101 - Input for Beginners
Short, well-produced videos. Grammar, antonyms, commonly used words. Absolutely wonderful for complete beginners. (Note that he has a new 'elementary' playlists labelled CI but they're more like textbook walkthoughs!) 🥇
A great channel with very clear videos made for complete beginners! His superbeginner & beginner unpacking playlists are good at this level. 🥇
Short sentences on a theme, has some hard-coded translated subtitles, literally so prolific & high quality! 🥇
Video game and TPRS videos, at this level. (Does have more advanced content.) 🥇
#10한글용사 아이야
Kids show, 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. 🥇
Has some superbeginner content but channel has a big mix of grammar, SB CI & more advanced CI. 🥈
#12Master Vocabulary (MAVOCA) - Korean
Technically easier than some of the above, but lesser quality. Short picture descriptions, repetitive and easy to understand. A few hours of good content here! 🥈
An honorable mention - has a very excellent "superbeginner" playlist but imo more than half of the script is mid- or high-beginner, so best kept for later. 🥉
#15MUZZY Korean
Another honorable mention - pretty famous for English learning, for complete beginners but often more advanced or confusing than the above. Only recommend on a free trial. 🥉
