About this app

From your first Korean words to your first day at work.

Practice Korean for daily life, work and exam preparation, starting with Hangul and continuing with expressions for cafés, travel and the workplace.

TWO COURSES
• Basic Korean — 11 units, 82 lessons. Read Hangul in nine short lessons, then the words for a café, a shop, a weekend plan and a polite goodbye.
• Business Korean — 8 units, 50 lessons. Formal office Korean: introducing yourself, taking a task, writing the email, reporting, declining politely.

WHOLE CONVERSATIONS
Explore 79 situations and practice expressions for café orders, greetings, travel, first meetings, email, phone calls and customers. Dialogue lessons let you practice either role.

EXAM PRACTICE
• TOPIK I and II — 49 short practice sets, answer explanations, vocabulary, grammar and guided writing. These are original study exercises, not official past papers or full-length TOPIK exams.
• EPS-TOPIK — reading and listening practice, a 40-question practice mock, workplace vocabulary and study aids. Practice results are not official scores or pass predictions.

HOW A LESSON WORKS
Every card says when you'll need it. Tap to hear it in a Korean voice. Choose, listen, complete the sentence, respond. A wrong answer gets a hint and another try — no hearts, no lockouts. Each lesson ends with you saying the lines out loud.

IT COMES BACK
Every phrase returns the next day, then after 3, 7, 16 and 35 days, English first, Korean hidden. You say it, then check yourself.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Choose English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Japanese or Simplified Chinese menus. Lesson explanations are being added for each language; sections not yet available use English. New content remains under editorial review.

YOUR DATA
No sign-up is needed to learn. The app downloads its learning pack securely on first launch, so an internet connection is required. On mobile, the encrypted pack supports offline learning for up to 30 days before reconnecting. Progress stays on your device. A pseudonymous download identity and limited download records protect the content. Google sign-in is optional, and you can delete your account inside the app. No ads or analytics SDK.

Onward Korean is an independent study app, not affiliated with TOPIK, NIIED or HRD Korea.
