A Learning Approach Built for Beginners

Every lesson is crafted to move you forward with confidence and clarity.

Start with Hangul

Learn the Korean alphabet first. Master all 14 consonants and 10 vowels in just a few focused hours. It’s the foundation for everything else.

Speak Real Phrases

Don’t just memorize grammar. Learn phrases you’ll actually use when meeting Korean people or traveling. Practical communication from lesson one.

Build Your Vocabulary

Start with the most common 100 words. We organize vocabulary by theme so you learn what matters first, not random words you’ll never use.

Your Schedule, Your Pace

No pressure. No deadlines. Work through lessons when it fits your life. Some days you’ll spend 30 minutes, other days you’ll dive deeper. That’s fine.

Clear Explanations

We don’t use confusing jargon. Each concept is explained plainly with examples so you actually understand why Korean works the way it does.

Beginner-Focused

Everything here assumes you know nothing about Korean. We start from zero and build up systematically. No jumping ahead. No gaps in your foundation.

What Beginners Ask About Korean Learning

How long does it take to learn Korean?

That depends on your goals. You can learn Hangul and start reading in just a few hours. Basic conversation? Most people get there in a few weeks of consistent practice. Fluency takes longer, but you’ll be having real conversations way sooner than you’d expect.

Is Korean really that difficult?

Not at all. Hangul is actually one of the easiest writing systems to learn. The grammar has patterns that make sense once you understand them. The hardest part? Sticking with it. But if you’re motivated — whether by K-dramas, music, or culture — you’ll stay consistent.

Can I learn Korean on my own?

Absolutely. We’ve designed these lessons specifically for self-study. You don’t need a teacher, a classroom, or special software. Just motivation and a little time each week. Even 15-20 minutes daily adds up fast.

What if I have no language learning experience?

Perfect. That’s exactly who we’re teaching. Every lesson assumes you’re starting from zero. We explain everything clearly without jargon. If you’ve never learned another language before, that’s fine — Korean will be your first, and we’ll guide you through every step.

Do I need to know anything before starting?

No. Absolutely nothing. Just curiosity and willingness to practice. We start with the alphabet and build from there. By the end of the first lesson, you’ll be able to read Korean text.

What Learners Say

“I wasn’t sure I could learn a new alphabet at all. But the Hangul lesson made it so simple — I was reading Korean text by the end of the first day. That was huge for my confidence.”

— Aisha, 28

“I’ve tried other Korean apps before and got bored. But these lessons actually explain the why behind everything. It doesn’t feel like I’m just memorizing random words. I’m actually learning Korean.”

— David, 22

“My goal was to understand K-drama dialogue without subtitles. I’m not there yet, but I can already pick out words I’ve learned. It’s motivating to see real progress this quickly.”

— Priya, 31
