## What is HangulNova?

HangulNova is a Korean learning app that covers TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) from Level 1 to Level 6 in one place.

■ 9,472 study words
Every TOPIK 1–6 study word is included. Each word has a romanization, part of speech, English meaning, and an example sentence with its English translation. You can listen at normal speed or slowly.

■ Korean–English dictionary with 9,472 entries (offline)
The dictionary is built into the app and searched on your device. It uses no network connection and no AI.
・Search in Hangul (학교)
・Search by romanization (hangugeo or han guk eo)
・Search by initial consonants only (ㅎㄱㅇ → 한국어)
・Search in English (promise → 약속)
Save words you want to remember to your word list and review them with flashcards.

■ 310 grammar points and 113 reading passages
Grammar is organized by level and explained with example sentences and romanization — from the past tense -았어요 / 었어요 and the honorific -(으)시- to -는데 for background and lead-ins. Each reading passage comes with questions and English notes.

■ Listening
Plays the podcasts published by VOA 한국어 (a public-domain broadcast provided by the U.S. government) directly from VOA's servers. Episodes can also be saved for offline listening.

■ AI Korean conversation (Premium)
Korean conversation practice, reading answer checks and pronunciation feedback are powered by Claude by Anthropic. Before you use these features, the app explains what data is sent and asks for your consent before sending anything. If you don't consent, the AI features stay off and no data is sent. You can withdraw your consent at any time in Settings. The AI replies in English.
