If you want to actually learn Korean, check out this site. [1] An American knowing no Korean moved to Korea and meticulously documented everything he learned, and this website was the result. It's an incredibly thorough study into Korean.

Can confirm this is one of the best text-based sites out for there for learning Korean. On days when I'm really studying, I typically have 4 or 5 tabs open from just this domain alone.
Anything similar for Japanese or Chinese?
Tae Kim's work is probably the equivalent for Japanese [0]. I think his "complete guide" is still a work in progress, but his grammar guide is pretty much the defacto free resource.

I actually suggest imabi.net over Tae Kim depending on how you want to define "learning the language".

Tae Kim is a great introductory guide to Japanese and is something I often hand to beginners. But for anyone who wants to seriously study the language, imabi.net is on an entirely different level.
