Hi, I'm Hanum, the maker of Jinjja.
I made Jinjja with the belief that language has its own way of being learned.
Hangul is easy, but Korean is hard, right?
This app is for those who want to move beyond beginner level.
If you can read Hangul now and find other apps too easy, join us at Jinjja!
Why Jinjja?
1. Not AI-generated expressions
Learn from 2,000+ expressions that Koreans actually use. Every expression was created by a Korean (me).
2. Learn through context
Not just memorization—naturally pick up when and with what nuance to use expressions in real conversations.
3. Science-backed review system
Smart reviews based on the forgetting curve turn what you learn into long-term memory.
3 Learning Modes
Language is vocabulary, speaking, and listening!
1. Real Talk
Learn the context of real Korean conversations.
From formal speech to casual talk and jokes between friends—master expressions for every situation.
2. Vocab
Swipe once to sort words you know from words you don't.
Combined Anki + skimming technique lets you acquire vocabulary in no time.
3. Listening
Listen and learn real expressions with native pronunciation.
Just listen, it'll click.
I'm building Jinjja with love and passion. More features are coming in 2026.
I recommend Jinjja if you:
- Are intermediate in Korean but still feel awkward talking with Koreans
- Understand dramas but go blank when you try to speak
- Finished Korean basics but struggle with natural expressions
- Want to understand K-dramas or K-pop lyrics without subtitles
- Want to chat more naturally with Korean friends or colleagues
- Want to speak like a local when traveling in Korea
- Want to learn real, living Korean—not textbook Korean
Break free from textbook Korean. The language actually used in Korea. The expressions Koreans really use.
Start with Jinjja.
