## What is LOING?

Language learning, but actually fun.

LOING is a new way to learn Korean, Japanese and Spanish — play-like, personalized, AI-powered.
The more you practice, the better our AI understands your level, serving up problems
that are just right for you. Your cute companion, Nogli, cheers you on every day.

No placement test. No setup. Open the app, solve your first problem, and your
personalized learning journey begins. Learn Korean, Japanese or Spanish today — more
language pairs are being added over time.


■ Key Features

◆ Adaptive AI Difficulty, Lv.1 to Lv.30
Our AI learns your skill level as you solve. Questions are never too easy, never too
hard — always in the sweet spot where you improve fastest.

◆ Start From the Letters
Brand new? Trace Hangul, hiragana and katakana and hear how each letter sounds.
Keep the kana chart handy, and turn on furigana to read kanji with ease. Spanish
starts from letter sounds, then greetings, questions and simple conversations.

◆ Problem Types That Make It Stick
• Fill-in-the-blank — learn vocabulary inside real sentences
• Sentence ordering — master grammar and word order naturally
• Listen & arrange — train listening, reading, and grammar at once
• Matching pairs — connect words and meanings, or match what you hear
Each word comes back in different ways until it truly sticks.

◆ Living Voices, Real Speech
Randomized voices at various speeds — a friend talking fast, a teacher speaking
slowly, a news anchor's crisp pronunciation — with expressions from dramas, news,
social media, and podcasts — for real communication.

◆ Conversations by Situation + Speaking (PRO)
Follow real-life conversation episodes, then say your lines out loud. LOING grades
what you said and gives you feedback, so you build the confidence to speak.

◆ AI Tutor
Stuck on a problem? Read what other learners asked about it, or ask the AI tutor
your own question with PRO.

◆ Challenge Mode & Tier Ranks
Tackle 10 problems in a row to measure your skill. Earn an Elo-style rating and climb
the tiers from Stone to Legend.

◆ Track Your Progress
Keep your streak going on the study calendar and check your weekly study time.
Smart review brings back what you missed sooner and what you know later.
