Online Resources for Korean Spelling and Grammar Check?

Question

What are your recommendations for tools that can help save time and headache when checking your Korean spelling, vocabulary, grammar, etc? I believe a well made utility can be productive in getting certain types of questions - especially on an objective and technical sense like spelling and grammar - answered before consulting other linguistic experts.

Answer 1

To add to the great resources already provided, "How to Study Korean" is a very good website made by a Korean teacher who specialized in Korean Grammar for english speakers. The teacher is fanatic about teaching Grammar, and the site has a full document for almost every grammar particle in the Korean language. These write-ups can get a little wordy at times, but upon finishing one you will feel 100% more competent in using any given grammatical particle. While not quite as convenient as a grammar program that allows you to plug in your Korean sentences and it will check on the fly, "How to study Korean" is a perfect resource for studious pupils who want to perfect and become more confident in naturally producing/using Korean grammar particles.

Another good resource that I recommend to all my students would be a Korean dictionary, either a Korean-English dictionary or a native Korean dictionary, depending on your level. Korean dictionaries always have numerous example sentences for each word, giving you a base for how to naturally use any vocabulary in the Korean language. They can be purchased inexpensively on Amazon, and ship all over.

Answer 2

I know it's a late reply but I want to share a few resource I find useful. I share these with my students and use it myself for Korean studies. Hopefully these are useful for you and any learner looking at this question!

1. Dictionary: https://en.dict.naver.com/#/main
2. I find this is a great resource for words. It's originally made for Koreans learning English but it's one of the best resources for words in my opinion.
3. Translation: https://papago.naver.com/
4. It's similar to Google Translate but they do Korean -> English and English -> Korean a little better in my opinion.
5. Grammar checker: https://search.naver.com/search.naver?where=nexearch&sm=tab_jum&query=%EB%84%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%B2%84+%EB%A7%9E%EC%B6%A4%EB%B2%95+%EA%B2%80%EC%82%AC%EA%B8%B0
6. Note that this one is still in Beta with Naver. This is a great tool for quickly checking your grammar. Currently in all Korean but it will highlight the part that is wrong due to misspellings or grammar. I haven't used these tools extensively myself but like anything with computer checking, take it with a grain of salt!

I hope this helps and have fun with your Korean studies.

There is a program called "Grammarly" that would probably be your best bet. It is not that expensive and it even checks for plagiarism.
