Migaku, a Discord server for people who want to learn Korean

If you're here because you're looking for a Discord server to connect with people learning Korean, welcome!

Otherwise, if you're new to Discord, we'll take a bit of time to talk about:

How to join the Migaku discord

Signing up for Discord is pretty similar to other community-oriented social media:

Why you should join Migaku's language learning discord

Learning Korean on your own can get lonely. That's why you're looking for a community to join, and that's why we opened Migaku's Discord server in the first place.

Migaku is a hub for talking about learning languages in general, but if you need a bit of convincing:

1. You'll connect with over 10,000 people interested in learning languages (including Korean!)

Yeah. That's over 9,000.

No matter your level, you're guaranteed to find like-minded folks to keep you motivated and inspired.

2. You can ask questions about learning Korean, share Korean resources, stan your favorite bands, and more

While Migaku is a hub for language learning in general, we have five dedicated channels for Korean learners:

Chat-kr, to talk about everything to do with learning Korean

This is the catch-all Korean channel. Ask grammar questions, discuss hurdles and how to get over them, inquire about where to get the best kimchi in Seoul. You do you!

Resources, to share cool Korean resources

Community-vetted resources (and discussions about them) go here. You'll find recommendations of apps people have liked, links to download open-source Korean dictionaries, and more!

For example, here's a screenshot of a conversation where I was talking about my personal workflow for learning Korean:

Media-recommendations, where you can share k-dramas and stuff

There's only one Golden Rule of Language Learning:

So, here's a place where you can share (and find) your next K-drama to binge, webtoon to read, and Korean YouTubers to follow.

Music, because k-pop is a thing

BTS and New Jeans seem to be what's popular these days, but I'm sort of oldschool and prefer Beast myself:

Whether you're a k-pop stan or prefer things that are less mainstream, this is the place to duke that out!

한국어,where you can speak Korean and only Korean

A Korean-only channel to truly immerse yourself, as the name suggests. Perfect for practicing output with natives and other learners.

3. You can get unfiltered feedback about Migaku's Korean course

Uhh, this is kind of awkward, but Migaku actually (a) has a couple Korean courses and (b) is a Chrome extension designed to allow you learn Korean by consuming real Korean media—even if you aren't that good at Korean yet.

Our Migaku Korean Fundamentals course teaches you to read and correctly pronounce Hangul:

And then our Migaku Korean Academy teaches the ~1,200 vocabulary words and ~300 grammar points you need to make sense of 80% of Korean sentences. (That's not a random number; we did the math.)

But Migaku's real strength is that it makes Korean text in places like webpages or subtitles (YouTube, Netflix, Viki) interactive, enabling you to see what a word means simply by clicking on it:

If you decide a word is useful, you can also make a flashcard simply by clicking that orange button in the top-right corner of the dictionary entry.

We may be slightly biased, but we think this is pretty awesome.

You don't have to take our word for it, though—many people in the community have tried Migaku, and you can get pretty unbiased opinions about how it works.

4. There's a kind of free-for-all going on in the general chat channel

Migaku’s general chat is the heart of our server—friendly chaos at its best. Jump into random conversations, share experiences, or just have fun with thousands of other learners.

5. You'll find accountability buddies, memes, and more

Migaku's off-topic channels add spice to your language learning journey:

6. You can keep up with Migaku's updates

Pretty much all of our staff members are language learners who use Migaku software, so we're often just as anxious as the community for updates to come out—if not more anxious.

Compared to other language learning companies, this makes us pretty transparent. You can see a roadmap of exactly where our effort is being spent, and we post community update announcements at least once per week.

7. ... and more!

This has been a pretty quick overview, but there's a lot going on in our Discord community! You're just going to have to drop by and check it out 💪
