Hangugo is a Korean learning app: Hangul, grammar, vocabulary, your own word collections and practice with an AI tutor. Learn Korean step by step: start with Hangul, work through grammar patterns, build your vocabulary and keep it with a personal spaced-repetition schedule. WHAT'S INSIDE Hangul • the Korean alphabet from scratch; • letters and their pronunciation; • stroke order and direction hints; • writing practice; • from single letters to syllables and words; • review of what you have learned. Grammar • a grammar course from beginner to advanced (TOPIK 1–6); • patterns organised by level and lesson; • clear explanations of meaning and usage; • example sentences; • favourites; • personal review of the grammar you have studied. Words and dictionary • a Korean dictionary with translations, transcription and pronunciation; • usage examples; • categories and textbook materials: choose what to study; • filters by status: new, learning, due for review; • spaced repetition for long-term memory; • review in both directions: recognise a word, then recall it in Korean. Collections • build your own sets of words and grammar by topic or lesson; • add items straight from the dictionary and the grammar course; • share a collection by code, link or QR; • invite editors and get notified about changes; • learn new words and review within a single collection. Shared progress • a learner can choose to share progress with the collection's author; • the author sees what is learned, what is due for review and how study is going; • access can be revoked at any time, and shared data is deleted. Practice • exercises built on what you have already studied; • multiple choice; • sentence building from blocks; • find and fix the mistake; • translation into Korean and back; • mixed sessions with different task types. AI TUTOR Practise writing Korean sentences and get detailed feedback. The AI tutor analyses your answer, accepts alternative wordings, suggests corrections and explains mistakes. Practice is tied to the material you have already studied, so tasks match your real progress. YOUR PROGRESS Track your results: • letters, grammar and words learned; • study history and streaks; • activity statistics; • review progress. Also: • progress sync across devices after signing in; • audio for Korean words and sentences; • light and dark themes; • interface in English and Russian. Start with short daily sessions and move from reading Hangul to understanding grammar, growing your vocabulary and writing your own sentences. FREE AND PREMIUM Much of Hangugo is free: Hangul, the dictionary, collections, TOPIK 1 grammar and the first lessons of every higher level, up to 20 new words and 10 AI checks a day. Hangugo Premium removes the new-word limit, unlocks the whole grammar course and extends AI practice to 100 checks and 20 exercise sessions a day.
