I edited the title because it has stayed that way for over 8 years, apologies if this was confusing. (Previous title: 모두 모여 이야기)
For learners:
Here is the Korean Alphabet, Hangul(한글), to get started!
Vowels- a(ㅏ) ya(ㅑ) eo(ㅓ) yeo(ㅕ) oh(ㅗ) yo(ㅛ) woo(ㅜ) yoo(ㅠ) eu(Hardest)(ㅡ) ee(ㅣ)
(but when you want to use the vowels solely, you put an ㅇ to it, like 아 어)
Ex. Ah-i(아이)-child
U-Yu(우유)-Milk
There are advanced vowels, ae(ㅐ) eh(ㅔ) ye(ㅖ) ye(ㅒ) wa(ㅘ) weh(ㅚ) wae(ㅙ) weo(ㅝ) wi(ㅟ) weh(ㅞ) eui(ㅢ)
Consonants- G(ㄱ) N(ㄴ) D(ㄷ) R(ㄹ) M(ㅁ) B(ㅂ) S(ㅅ) A(ㅇ) J(ㅈ) Ch(ㅊ) K(ㅋ) T(ㅌ) P(ㅍ) H(ㅎ)
These consonants come at the syllable-initial: Ex. Ga-Ji(가지), Na-Bi(나비)
Or syllable-final: Ex. Han-ja(한자)(ㄴ at the bottom), 밀(Mil)(ㄹ), 곰(Gom)(ㅁ)
(ㅎ used at the final doesn't have a sound, but sometimes affects the next word)
There are double consonants: (pronounce harder) ㄲ(kk), ㄸ(dd), ㅃ(bb), ㅆ(ss), ㅉ(jj) (used in initial)
Only ㄲ, ㅆ are used as the final syllable, usually pronounced like ㄱ and ㄷ but it depends on the situation.
Also other consonants ONLY syllable-final: ex. ㄵ, ㄺ, ㄻ, ㄼ, ㄽ, ㄾ, ㅀ, ㅄ / pronunciation also differs

To learn a few words:
Genkie Korean : http://www.genkienglish.net/speakkorean/
Digital Dialects : http://www.digitaldialects.com/Korean.htm
Finally, the last and most helpful website is this:

If you do not know the alphabet, then the last website will be confusing. This website does have the option of paying for a premium account... but the first week you get the premium account for free anyway (no need to enter a credit card number or anything, lol). When your premium account is up, you can still use it and it'll still be helpful, it's just some features won't be included, but those features aren't essential!
It is, by far, the most helpful though. I am very grateful I stumbled upon it! Even the free version is amazing. As I said, it just means there will be a few less features.
