MamaTalk is an audio storybook app that reads Korean folk tales aloud, paired with ink-wash illustrations and traditional Korean court music (jeongak).

Each episode runs about ten minutes: a 30-second gugak intro, the narrated story, then credits and a picture-book review over five minutes of court music.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Listen to Korean folk tales narrated aloud. A mother's narration and a father's spoken lines are labeled separately on screen so you can tell whose voice it is.
- Read along with Korean and English subtitles that change with each scene.
- View ten ink-wash illustrations that turn as the story progresses, followed by a scene-by-scene review at the end.
- Pick a listening profile: prenatal, under 5, children, adult, or senior. Each profile plays audio that has been prepared on the server for that setting.
- Play the five-minute court music track on its own, without narration.
- Use dark screen mode for listening at bedtime.
- Control playback from the lock screen. Audio keeps playing with the screen off.

AUDIO QUALITY

Audio is delivered as uncompressed 44.1 kHz WAV rather than compressed streaming audio. A single episode is over 100 MB, so Wi-Fi is recommended.

STORY LIBRARY

K-Tales: Heungbu and Nolbu, The Fairy and the Woodcutter, The Tale of the Rabbit, the Dangun legend, and more. A world classics season is in preparation.

Court music is sourced from the National Gugak Center's digital instrument recordings.
