## What is Podo Speak?

Speak Korean out loud today. Not tomorrow, not after ten more grammar lessons - today.

Podo Speak was built by a certified Korean teacher who has taught 300+ students online since
2017, for the one thing textbooks cannot give you: the ability to open your mouth and speak.

YOU KNOW THE WORDS. THEY JUST WILL NOT COME OUT.

You have studied the grammar. You can read hangul. But when someone speaks to you in Korean,
nothing comes out. That gap does not close by reading more. It closes by speaking out loud,
every day.

ONE TAP AND YOU ARE SPEAKING

No lesson to choose. No level test. No course map to plan. Open the app, tap once, and a
Korean sentence is waiting. Your only job is to say it out loud.

HOW ONE SESSION WORKS

1. Hear a Korean sentence and repeat it.
2. Say it again from the English meaning, without looking at the Korean.
3. Podo Speak listens and shows you exactly which syllables matched.

A session takes a few minutes. That is the whole point.

WE DECIDE WHAT YOU REVIEW. YOU JUST SPEAK.

Sentences you miss come back at the end of the session, and again on later days. You never
build a review list, schedule flashcards, or wonder what to practice next. The next sentence
is already chosen for you.

SPEAKING ONLY. NOTHING ELSE.

- No multiple choice, no dragging words into place, no typing. Every answer is spoken.
- Instant, honest feedback, syllable by syllable, so you can hear yourself getting better.
- Natural pronunciation is accepted. You are never marked wrong for sounding like a native.
- Slow playback and optional romanization, for absolute beginners.
- A daily goal of 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes, a streak counter, and one gentle reminder a day.

EVERY SENTENCE CHOSEN BY A TEACHER

These are the sentences a Korean teacher actually uses with beginners - short, natural, and
useful the day you learn them. Not scraped from the internet. Not padded out to fill a course.

PERFECT IF YOU

- froze the first time a Korean person spoke to you
- can read hangul but have never said a full sentence out loud
- love K-dramas and K-pop and want to catch the real sentences
- are getting ready for a trip to Korea
- have finished other Korean apps and still cannot speak
