I’ve found that learning how to type in Korean is a little frustrating. It’s an annoying skill to learn, especially since I’ve been able to type using an Qwerty keyboard layout for several years.  To start all over again for something that seems so familiar is humbling.

Here are a few programs to make the learning process a little less painful. Tajamaster is online based so there is no need to install special software. Kid Taja is also another online option. It’s for kids, or in my case, a big kid. Ignore the images on the home page unless you want to register. Click on the tabs at the top instead, then a sub-tab, and you will find that there are many ways to practice.  Another option is Hansoft’s typing program. This is the program that the students use at the elementary schools. Unfortunately the program was not designed to run on Windows Vista. Older versions of Windows won’t have  problems.
