How it works

🎬 Immerse

Real speech, matched to your level

Scroll a feed graded from your first Hangul to comfortable listening, with Korean and English captions highlighted word by word. When native speed runs away from you, slow the clip to 0.75× or 0.5×.

💡 Understand

Tap a word, get what it means

You see what the word means in that sentence, plus its dictionary form and how it's used. Nothing sends you off to a dictionary mid-video.

🔖 Remember

Every saved word keeps its clip

Save a word and it stays attached to the video you first heard it in. When it comes back, you hear it again in the voice you learned it from.

🌱 Grow

Review that comes to you

Your saved words turn into review built from your own clips, and each one shows up again right before you'd forget it.

📈 Progress

A level with a name, not a number

You climb a named ladder as your listening gets stronger. Missing a day costs you nothing: streak forgiveness is always free.

No streak guilt. No cartoon owl. No sentences about a bear drinking milk.
