About

Hangul Practice

Features
Read full description

A simple, no-pressure app designed to help beginners practice reading Korean. When you are just starting out, the Korean alphabet can feel overwhelming. This app cuts out the noise and gives you a straightforward way to get familiar with recognizing the characters (Jamo). How it works: Read: See a series of Korean characters on the screen and try to guess the sound. Listen: Tap to play the audio and get a pronunciation hint. Practice: Compare your guess with the voice to see if you got it right! It is the perfect, easy study tool to help you memorize the basics. The app is completely free to use with zero interruptions (though there is a tiny $0.99 tip jar hidden inside if you find it helpful!). A quick note on audio: This app uses your device's built-in voice (like Siri) to read the words. While it is a fantastic tool to make sure you recognize each Jamo and get a hint of how it's supposed to sound, device audio isn't perfect. Think of this app as your stepping stone for reading practice, but I always recommend listening to native Korean speakers to master your final pronunciation!
