You're right, it's not a lesson site - sorry.

Well, do you already know the script and basic grammar?

I don't know of any lesson sites that teach all the levels of speech, but here's one webpage that goes into some depth on the most familiar/non-polite level of speech:

If you look around on this site, you might be able to find other lessons on speech levels contained within the Grammar section of a particular chapter. Just look around.

As you will see, you'll definitely have to know the script and quite a bit of grammar to benefit from any in-depth discussion of speech levels.

공부 열심히 해! <-- (N.B.: I just used the most familiar/non-polite level of speech there. This is what I might say to my little brother/sister. It translates to: Study hard! Koreans are always exhorting each other to work hard. )
