EBS is known as Korea's education broadcast station. For many years, EBS has broadcast programmes for those learning the Korean language. EBS even tailored Korean learning programmes for foreign women married to Korean men.
One gripe I have is that while free, the registration in Korean can be daunting to the beginner student and that may explain why Arirang's Let's Speak Korean programme is more well known to foreigners learning Korean.
EBS' Hello 안녕하세요 programme had several seasons and the website for the earliest seasons may have disappeared by now.
2005 season (hosted by Richard Harris) : 130 episodes can be found at Youtube, yes I uploaded them.
2006 season (hosted by Beau Jackson) : http://home.ebs.co.kr/home2429/index.html
There were at least 2 programmes for foreign women married to Korean men. (1) http://home.ebs.co.kr/home4331/index.html 한국말 쉬워요
and (2) http://home.ebs.co.kr/home5894 여성 결혼이민자를 위한 한국어 (중급), intermediate level and taught in Chinese, Vietnamese and Russian.
There was even a learn Korean cooking programme. http://home.ebs.co.kr/home5579/index.html 한국말 요리쇼
A new beginners' level Korean programme for foreigners debut on 3 Nov 2008 and will last till April 2009. In truth, this programme is meant for Chinese, Vietnamese and Filipino women married to Korean men, since the 30-minute weekly programme is taught through 3 languages; Chinese on Mon, Vietnamese on Tue and Tagalog on Wed.
