Start learning Korean by enjoying the content you already love. Kimchi Reader is a powerful tool (not a course!) that I built to transform Korean media into your ultimate learning resource.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

📚 Read & Watch Anything
Immerse yourself in Korean by watching YouTube, Netflix, and Viki, or by importing your own e-books (EPUB) and text files.

👆 Instant Dictionary on Tap
Every word is clickable! Tap any word to instantly see:
• Detailed definitions (including a monolingual dictionary)
• Grammar breakdowns
• Hanja meanings
• Frequency ratings to learn important words first

⛏️ Powerful Sentence Mining
Found a sentence you want to remember? Mine it! The app creates a rich flashcard for you with the word, definition, sentence audio, and a video screenshot for full context.

🔄 Sync with Anki
Use my desktop add-on to seamlessly import your mined sentences into Anki for powerful, long-term memorization with spaced repetition.

🤖 Smart Recommendations
Mark words as "Known" and let the system find the perfect book or show for you from its massive database of content. No more guessing what to study next!

WHO IS THIS FOR?
This app is perfect for learners who already know Hangul and some basic vocabulary. It’s designed to take your immersion-based learning to the next level.

BUILT BY A LEARNER, FOR LEARNERS
This app was coded by a solo developer (me!) who is also learning Korean and was tired of mediocre tools. Every feature is built to solve real problems that learners face.
