About this app

Stop studying Korean. Start watching it. Try it free for 7 days.

Norae is a feed of real Korean short videos: the vlogs, street interviews, food runs and drama recaps people actually watch, with captions that light up word by word as they're spoken.

Tap any word you don't know. You get what it means in that sentence, not a dictionary dump. Save it, and it comes back later, attached to the clip you first heard it in.

HOW IT WORKS
• Korean and English captions running together, with each word lit the moment it is said
• Tap a word for what it means in that line, its dictionary form, and how it is actually used
• Words you keep come back as review cards that replay the clip you found them in
• Roots: the words you save, grouped by the Chinese character they share, so 학교 brings 학생 and 과학 with it
• 0.75x and 0.5x on any clip, for the lines that get away from you
• A feed built from the level you pick, from your first day of Hangul onward

MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY WATCH
If you're already spending an hour a day scrolling, Norae puts that hour to work. Ten minutes gets you a handful of words that stick, because you met them somewhere real.

No streak guilt. No sentences about a bear drinking milk.

Videos play in the official YouTube player and belong to the creators who made them. Every clip links back to its channel.

THE SUBSCRIPTION
Norae is a yearly or monthly subscription. The yearly plan starts with 7 days free, and Google charges nothing until the trial ends. The monthly plan has no trial. The app shows you the price before you pay, and prices vary by region. Your plan renews at the same price until you cancel it, which you can do any time under Subscriptions in the Play Store.

Thank you, Jared! Family in Seoul is the best reason to learn. Hope you're chatting with them in Korean soon, and thanks for spreading the word! If there's anything you'd want added or improved, email me at support@tcfusion.dev — I read every message. — Trent

I'm sure it's great in terms of learning but it is misleading about being a paid service. Very sneaky.

Hi Frances, thanks for the feedback. Norae is a paid app, which we note in the store listing, and every new user gets a free 7-day trial to try it first. We want learning Korean to be accessible to everyone, so if cost is a barrier, email trent@noraeapp.com and I'll get you free access. -Trent
