I used YuSpeak to learn Japanese and wondered if there is a similar app for learning Korean. The teaching methods used in this app is groundbreaking, and I love it! 🥰
Now the developer released a WHOLE Korean course! Really made my day.
This is a quintessential language learning app from the same highly esteemed team responsible for the HelloChinese app. I was blown away with all of the detail, interactive activities, native speaker videos, and variety of different gamified and repetitive exposure methods used to train your brain to gradually acknowledge and slowly acquire the language of your intellectual desire (Japanese and/or Korean in this case, as previously mentioned). I’m proud of the YuSpeak team and look forward to the further developments in their foreign language acquisition apps. This review is my biased opinion as a major fan of their software, but give it a try and you’ll be hooked as you rapidly make progress due to your continued studies.

Thank you very much for your review, Leif!
Have a nice day!honestly such a great app, i recommend yew get it if your learning korean/japanese. THIS NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION!!
YuSpeak is actually a great app to learn Korean. I found it really entertaining and helpful for improving my sentence making and speaking skills, but beware that starting with the 11th lesson (“How is my skirt” for the Korean version) lessons are only available upon subscription. It’s too bad, because the level of content taught is actually quite basic and it’s not worth subscribing for someone who’s already at or near an intermediate level. Also, only monthly and yearly subscriptions exist, which means there’s no cheaper one time purchase option that gives you unlimited access forever like some other apps. I would say, unless you’re willing to pay for the subscription or learn everything within a month, stick to textbooks and free websites and save your money in the long run (with content you have unlimited access to). I might have even considered paying for the app if I were given lifetime access for like 30 bucks, but I think a monthly subscription adds up and is too pricey given the content of the app (it’s basically Duolingo, but with actually useful and not nonsensical sentences).
This is the first time I’ve ever bought a subscription for a language learning app that’s how good it is, if I could add anything I’d like to be able to type my answers sometimes both hiragana and kanji so it helps me remember it better. It would also be nice to add to the alphabet part kanji and when you press on it it’ll show you the stroke order. I’ve also started using it for Korean as well since it helped me so fast with my Japanese, I can’t wait for future updates and more Japanese and Korean lessons

We're pleased that you love YuSpeak!
The two features you suggested are already on our to-do list, but since we're a small team, it requires more time for our developers to implement. Please stay tuned!
Have a nice day!I’m really enjoying this app! I love the entertaining writing in the intro to each section and the comic at the end. It’s such a great format and fun to consume. Unfortunately I came in with some previous Japanese knowledge so I’m getting through the content too quickly. I hope you release intermediate Japanese content too so that I can keep using this app! The one other feature I would request is some kind of “hard mode” where I could input the answers using the iOS keyboard. Anyway please keep it up, this is one of my favorite learning apps!

We're pleased that you love YuSpeak! For the "hard mode" you suggested, we will consider it seriously in future updates.I’ve tried countless language apps and this is the very very best one I’ve found. It would be so amazing if you could add an option for English speakers to learn Russian!! Loveee this app it helps me retain more than a textbook does and isn’t just memorizing like duolingo because you’re actually applying what you learn immediately. Literally the only way I can learn a language is by being able to use it and practice conversations and this app is so perfect for that. Thank u for making this free!!
The app is similar to a textbook style, but is more concise and humorous/modern. It also has real voice actors which help with pronunciation and an option to turn off romanization. However, it seems there’s no setting to type with the device keyboard— that’s my only criticism. Otherwise, it’s a good app to get you started in Japanese.

Thank you for your suggestion! I'd like to know what character set you want to input with, Hiragana, kanji, or both? You can write us anytime at support@yuspeak.com with more details.Ended up downloading this after seeing cyber bunny talk about it. Think this is well organized then Duolingo, I find myself understand why most of the words are used and when to use them. It lets you know what words are nouns and verbs, also it makes you right the alphabet too. If it was possible to talk back to the app that would be fun or having conversation with others in the same skill level as you. Any age can learn from this easily
