About this app

LEARN KOREAN — ALPHABET & VOCABULARY

Most apps teach Korean like a textbook. HAN•GL teaches it the way it was designed — every letter mirrors your mouth, every word builds on the last.

Go from zero to reading Korean, then keep going. Master all 40 letters through King Sejong's animated story, then start building real vocabulary — greetings, family, food, everyday conversation, and more.

THE FULL KOREAN ALPHABET — FREE

All 15 chapters are completely free:

◆ All 19 Korean consonants
◆ All 21 essential vowels
◆ Batchim (final consonants) and sound-change rules
◆ Pattern recognition system
◆ Interactive syllable builder
◆ Audio pronunciation for every letter
◆ King Sejong's story
◆ Two milestone tests

By the end, you can read any Korean word.

FREE VOCABULARY TO GET YOU STARTED

Once you finish the alphabet, the vocabulary hub opens:

◆ 76 Korean words free — greetings, numbers, family, food, and everyday phrases
◆ Interactive quizzes: matching, audio, fill-in-the-blank, sentence building
◆ Native audio pronunciation for every word
◆ Collect every word as a card in your personal collection
◆ Boss battles that test what you've learned

GO FURTHER — HAN•GL PRO

Pro unlocks the rest of Korean:

◆ 60+ more vocabulary topics — body, verbs, nature, emotions, slang, work, culture, travel, and everything we add next
◆ All boss battles
◆ Practice Hub with spaced repetition on every word you collect
◆ New content added regularly

WHY HAN•GL IS DIFFERENT

◆ STORY-BASED LEARNING
Follow King Sejong's invention of Hangul. Learn through narrative, not flashcards.

◆ VISUAL TEACHING METHOD
Each letter mirrors your mouth shape. See it once, remember forever.

◆ REAL VOCABULARY
Don't just learn letters — build a real Korean vocabulary with interactive quiz lessons. Every word becomes a card in your personal collection.

◆ NATIVE AUDIO
Every word and sentence recorded with professional native pronunciation.

◆ DESIGNED BY A KOREAN NATIVE
Created by a polyglot Korean speaker who teaches the logic behind the language, not just memorization.

PERFECT FOR

◆ K-pop and K-drama fans who want to read lyrics and understand more
◆ Korean diaspora reconnecting with their heritage
◆ Complete beginners with zero Korean knowledge
◆ Travelers preparing for a trip to Korea
◆ Anyone learning for relationships, work, or curiosity
◆ Students preparing for Korean language study

THE HANGUL TEACHING METHOD

King Sejong designed each letter as a visual guide to pronunciation. The letter for "g" shows a tongue blocking your throat. The letter for "n" shows a tongue touching the roof of your mouth. The letter for "m" shows a closed mouth.

This visual-phonetic connection is what makes Korean one of the easiest alphabets to learn. We teach the logic, not just memorization.

I saw this app recommended by the maker on Reddit. It's beautiful and easy to follow. I've only been using it for one day and already feel confident that I can read Korean - slowly read, but successfully.

great app, I just wish it would be more cute design or a mascot, like Duolingo, to make it appealing to the eye
