Hello, I’m new here.
I have a question to ask tutor.
Where should I start to learn korean language?
I cannot read and understand a single word of korean.

Thank you.

I’m not a tutor but I first started studying korean by learning hangul first (the korean alphabet). There are loads of websites where you can learn hangul. Then I come on here and read short but simple lessons. I have korean coursebooks too. I just read and I don’t try to learn the words when I have trouble understanding the hangul letters. Your brain will get use to the language. Once I fully understand the letters, then I learn the words or I just read and read until the words stick to my brain. This advice might not be good but you can do what is best for you.

Is there many types of pronunciation for 1 letter?
Example: ㄱ,ㄲ,ㅋ is this 3 the pronunciation are the same?

They’re not the same. ㄱ is romanised as G… then ㄲsounds a bit like K and the ㅋ is a aspirated K. I hope this is useful.
