About

HangulGo

Features
Read full description

Hangul Go sends you one Korean word at a time — right on your Lock Screen and Home Screen. No lessons to sit through, no streaks to protect. Just small moments throughout the day that build real vocabulary. HOW IT WORKS Start with a quick placement quiz — a couple of short rounds, not a big test. Don't know a word? Just skip it. This places you at the right starting level: Survival, Beginner, TOPIK I, or TOPIK II+. From there, Hangul Go quietly works in the background. A new word appears on your Lock Screen and Home Screen widget throughout your active hours, with its English meaning right there — no need to open the app. LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE Every word moves through four stages as you learn it: New, Learning, Almost Known, and Known. Track your progress at a glance on your dashboard, organized by category — everyday conversation, food & drink, travel, and more. Pick as many categories as you like, or focus on just one. When you're ready to actively review, jump into a quick batch quiz, or look up any single word on demand. Each word comes with a real example sentence and its translation, so you're learning vocabulary in context — not just isolated flashcards. BUILT FOR DAILY LIFE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — glance and go • Placement quiz that adapts to what you already know • Four Korean proficiency levels, from complete beginner to TOPIK II+ • Category-based learning: everyday conversation, food & drink, travel, and more • Word progress tracking: New → Learning → Almost Known → Known • Quick batch quizzes and on-demand word review • Real example sentences with every word • Full iPad support Hangul Go is free to start. An optional subscription unlocks the complete word library and higher proficiency levels. Whether you're prepping for a trip to Korea, studying for the TOPIK exam, or just want to pick up a few real words a day without the pressure of a full course — Hangul Go fits Korean into the moments you already have.
