From survival basics to the evening news

All 60 levels mix vocabulary and verbs, ordered by how often Koreans actually use them, so you go from the basics to advanced vocabulary from news, law and academic writing. Grow a level to 새싹 (Sprout) to unlock the next one.

Words you can actually use

Every review tests a word both ways: you recognize its meaning, then you type it in Korean on your own keyboard. Recognition fades quickly, but a word you can spell from memory is a word you can text, search and write.

Reviews timed to your memory

Answer a word correctly and it waits longer before its next review; miss it and it comes back sooner. Every word climbs through five stages, from 씨앗 (Seed) to 영원 (Eternal), and once it reaches the top you have learned it for good.
