## What is OtoOi Reader?

OtoOi Reader is a Korean reading app with something new every day.

Read real-life Korean the way it is written — online forum posts with their comment threads, short travel stories, and news written from the facts — sentence by sentence, with audio for every sentence.

■ What you can read
• K-Drama Next Door — short dramas written in the style of Korean online forums: advice posts and real-life stories, comments and all. After the ending, the author explains the twist and the everyday life behind it. A new episode every day.
• Kai's Train Trips — Kai rides the KTX to cities around Korea and discovers the local food. Travel notes with the facts and sources.
• News — Korean news written from the facts, in an Easy and a Standard version.
• Story — Kai's everyday life in Korea, told in short conversations (beginner level).

■ How it helps you read
• Read first, then check: open the English translation one sentence at a time.
• Tap a word for its meaning in that sentence, its dictionary form and how it is conjugated.
• Tap an underlined grammar pattern for a short explanation of how it works in that sentence.
• Audio for every sentence.
• A TOPIK level for every piece, so you can find what fits you.

■ Words — see your Korean grow
• Mark words and grammar as Known, Learning or Not yet while you read.
• See how many TOPIK level 1–6 words and grammar patterns you know, level by level.
• Your known-word rate on every piece shows what you can read next.

■ Subscription
New pieces are free for 7 days after they come out. Older pieces: the Korean text and audio are free; the translations, word meanings and explanations are part of OtoOi Reader Pro, along with all TOPIK levels in Words. 7-day free trial.
