Hello all, I’m am trying to find a resource or a place to order books written in Korean to learn Japanese. I plan on language stacking Korean to Japanese and want to start buying some boiks for it, any help able to be given is appreciated thank you!

Well I don’t know about language stacking, but as far as a general understanding of Japanese, Barnes and Noble typically carries good stuff.
Specifically, they might have what one near me had, it’s a little program called Living Language. It’s sorta like Rosetta Stone except no subscription and not nearly as expensive. The basic book alone is somewhere between $10 and $25, but the entire set of books (basic, intermediate,, advanced) and audio CDs is like $50. Plus there’s a website you can go to for extra stuff.
So yeah, that’s a pretty non-intimidating thing you can do which will get you a lot of knowledge and a good foundation that you can build on. Much cheaper than Rosetta Stone or college, and less intimidating than a textbook. But you’ll still get good content from it.
I’ve never studied Korean, but I’m sure the Living Language has the same set for Korean. I own the Japanese and Chinese sets though.
I think it goes without saying, but if your Korean is good enough to learn Japanese through Korean (it would have to be quite high level to understand all the grammar explanations etc) it would be super easy to find textbooks in Korean for learning Japanese, regardless of the countless textbooks to be found there are even many websites and videos for that can be found with a very simple Korean google search. Frankly if you are asking *in English* on a site like Reddit; you aren’t ready to “stack languages” and should just learn one first, and then go for the next.
I’d search on Kyobo (Korean site) for Japanese (일본어) to see what they use to study.
I live in Seoul atm and there are tons of JLPT things in store for Koreans.
I did the opposite for reference. Japanese -> Korean
I’ll add that I searched for websites in Japanese discussing Korean, so you could do the opposite.
