Learn Korean by watching. The Speakit.tv Korean course is built as video lessons. A native speaker says a phrase, you see it written on screen, and you see what it means in English — all at the same time. NO HANGUL TO LEARN FIRST Most Korean courses start with the alphabet, and most people stop there. Here every phrase is written three ways: in Hangul, in romanization you can read right now, and in English. You can say it before you can read it — and Hangul becomes familiar along the way. WHAT YOU SEE ON SCREEN • The Korean phrase in Hangul • The same phrase in romanization • What it means in English • Replay any phrase, as many times as you like FROM SINGLE WORDS TO FULL PHRASES This is not a word list. You start with single words and move up to the sentences people really use: • How much, how many, and how to say enough • Days of the week and dates • Booking a hotel room • Asking where things are, taxis and buses • Small talk and everyday answers LEARN FROM NATIVE SPEAKERS Every phrase is spoken by someone who grew up with the language, clearly and unhurried, with subtitles on every line. You pick up the right accent from the first lesson. SHORT LESSONS, REAL PROGRESS Self-contained video lessons you can finish in one sitting. Pick up where you left off, and work through the course at your own pace. ONE SUBSCRIPTION, THE WHOLE COURSE Full access to the whole Korean video course — on your iPhone, iPad and the web. — — — Speakit.tv Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. - Length: 1 month, 3 months or 6 months - Price: shown in the app before you confirm, in your local currency - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase - It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the same price - Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings Privacy Policy: https://speakit.tv/privacy-policy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
