How it grades: spelling is deliberately loose โ€” G/K, D/T, B/P and R/L are the same letters in hangul, so GOGI / KOKI both count, and EO/O mix-ups are forgiven. If you type a different real word, it tells you what you actually said. Getting a card right marks it learned and feeds it into ๐Ÿ” Review. Korean pronunciation lives in the vowels and double consonants that letters can't fully capture, so press ๐Ÿ”Š and repeat out loud every time.

Words are ingredients โ€” they go stale. Reviews resurface each one right before you'd forget it: miss it and it's back tomorrow, nail it and it returns in 1 โ†’ 3 โ†’ 7 โ†’ 14 days. A few minutes a day keeps the whole pantry fresh.

Prices are survival Korean. Read (or hear) the amount in won and type the digits. Levels climb from BAEK to MAN territory.

How much is this? (in baht)
The system: SIP 10 ยท BAEK 100 ยท CHEON 1,000 ยท MAN 10,000. Korea groups by 10,000: 50,000 = O-MAN, not "fifty thousand". Stack big-to-small: 23,500 = I-MAN SAM-CHEON O-BAEK. The quirk: a leading 1 is silent โ€” 10,000 is just MAN, never IL-MAN.

The handful of rules that make Korean click. Read one, then make the ๐Ÿงฑ Builder prove you know it.

The verb goes LAST

Korean is subjectโ€“objectโ€“verb. JEO-NEUN BIBIMBAP MEOKGO SIPEOYO = I โ€“ bibimbap โ€“ want-to-eat. Once you feel this order, sentences start building themselves โ€” the Builder game drills exactly this.

-YO = polite, and safe everywhere

Every phrase in this app ends in -YO โ€” the standard polite form. It's correct with strangers, waiters, taxi drivers, everyone. The extra-formal -SEUMNIDA (KAMSAHAMNIDA) you'll hear in announcements and from staff being polite to YOU.

Particles โ€” the little tags

-EUN / -NEUNtopic marker โ€” JEO-NEUN = as for meโ€ฆ
-I / -GAsubject marker
-EUL / -REULobject marker
Beginners can drop them in casual speech and still be understood โ€” Koreans do it too.

Negatives & wanting

AN + verbnot โ€” AN MAEWOYO (not spicy)
MOT + verbcan't โ€” MOT MEOGEOYO (I can't eat it)
verb + GO SIPEOYOwant to โ€” MEOKGO SIPEOYO (I want to eat)

TWO number systems (really)

Sino-Korean (IL, I, SAMโ€ฆ) for money, dates, phone numbers โ€” this is the ๐Ÿ”ข Numbers game. Native Korean (HANA, DUL, SETโ€ฆ) for counting things and age. Ordering = native number + counter: SOJU HAN BYEONG (soju one-bottle), MAEKJU DU JAN (beer two-glass).

Counters โ€” counting words

GAE thingsMYEONG peopleJAN glasses
BYEONG bottlesINBUN portionsMARI animals
Pattern: thing + native number + counter โ€” MANDU DU GAE = two dumplings.

Food-culture cheat codes

Say JAL MEOKGESSEUMNIDA before eating and JAL MEOGEOSSEUMNIDA after โ€” it's like a toast to the cook. Call staff with a clear JEOGIYO! (no waving needed). BANCHAN side-dish refills are free โ€” just ask: BANCHAN DEO JUSEYO.
