Another way to increase your exposure to Korean is through storybooks and songs.

Yahoo Korea, has a great kids site that can help you do both:

http://kr.infant.kids.yahoo.com/infantz ... rvice=song

The songs "둥요" are on this page. " 동요나라" is Kid's Song Land...
If you click the large icons near the middle of the page, you'll be taken to different categories of songs, and then clicking on the other pictures will take you to a flash animation of the song. Some have the lyrics with them so you can see/sing along.

The real value in the songs is that the picture closely matches with the text of the song, so you can challenge yourself to learn without using your 사전!

Similarly, "동화나라" is Kid's Story Land. Again, some of the stories will include the text along with the narration, but some won't The same thing applies about the categories for the songs.

I recommend using IE, only because Korean websites are notoriously unfriendly to anything else. Sometime Firefox displays things small or distorted.

If you run into trouble, PM me, there are a few other tricks to get around the display issues.

Happy learning...for your first songㄴ, check out:
우유송 The Milk Song and 내 동생 My Little Brother

Ok, so they are a little childish...but I take whatever I can get. And if you whip one of thse out for your Korean friends... you'll have them in stitches!

I wonder how old the 3 bears song is because after i heard it on Full House and learned it, I sang it to my mom and she knew the song. so, i wonder how old the song is.

this may be a random question, but does anyone know where i can find the words to any english kids songs that have been translated into korean? i have heard old macdonald in korean and have been looking for the words since then. i was also wondering if any other popular english kids songs have korean equivalents (i am a preschool teacher, i just need to know these things, hah..).

thanks.

Here is one I sing to my son. I don't have the hangul or the proper romanisation, so if someone else could add them that would be great. My translations might be a little off too.

Little Star (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
Pancha Pancha chargoom byol
(shining shining little star)
Ardum takae pitchi nae
(beautifully shining)
Tongjuk hanin aso-do
(East side sky)
Sojook hanin aso-do
(West side sky)
Pancha Pancha chargoom byol
(shining shining little star)
Ardum takae pitchi nae
(beautifully shining)

I have this as an mp3 if it would help.

Also "Head shoulders knees and toes" should be easy to work out.

If your translations are right, then it would go like this in the Korean:

반짝반짝 작은 별
아름답게 비추네
동쪽 하늘에서도
서쪽 하늘에서도

반짝반짝 작은 별
아름답게 비추네
