As any member would know, there are a lot of vocabulary in this database. In an effort to add even more capabilities to this database, I am working to categorize the vocabulary database so you can look up words by theme.
I already have a working beta version but it would be nice to categorize more words first.
Recently the site has been coming together really nicely and I am finally seeing the light at the end of this tunnel of a project that i have been working on for almost 3 years.
The bookstore is a great way to support the open okpyon project. Every book you buy will help support maintaining and developing this site.
Consider buying your Korean course books right here. We have the whole line of Hawaii University Press Korean language series
Remember that a large part of learning a language is learning more about the culture and history of the people who speak that language. There is also a wide range of Korean and Korean-American literature, history, and cook books.
I have been updating the code for what it seems like years, but finally making some progress.
Ever since I started my new job I have had very little time to update this site so please bear with me, and I hope that the still under construction status does not inconvenience any of you.

If you find any information that you know for a fact is incorrect you can, and are encouraged to correct the false information; however, please make sure that the information is 100% incorrect because much of this information is varied having risen out of more than one culture, there are bound to be disparities–even between Chinese, Japanese, and Korean interpretations of each character.
Of course, our database is going to favor the Korean interpretations but there is plenty of room to explain nuances in the notes section under each entry
