안녕하세요! 👋
Learn Korean the way it actually sticks
Read the alphabet in a few days, speak your first phrases this week, and keep them for good with short daily reviews. No textbook required.
네 단계
The four steps
Learn Hangul first
한글
The alphabet takes a few days, not months. Reading Hangul instead of romanization gives you the real sounds and makes every later step easier.
Learn the letters →Listen, then repeat
따라 하기
Shadow native audio: listen, then say it right after. Research on shadowing shows it improves how clear and natural you sound — rhythm and intonation included.
Practice new phrases →Say it from memory
기억하기
Once you can repeat it, test yourself from the English. Pulling a phrase out of memory (with feedback) makes it stick far better than repeating it again.
Do your reviews →Space your reviews
복습
Review right before you'd forget: 10 minutes, a day, 3 days, a week, 3 weeks. A few minutes daily beats a long session — and keep new phrases to a pace you can sustain.
Why this works →친구들
Meet your study buddies
They take turns coaching you through each phrase in Practice — cheering when you nail it and nudging you when you don't.
