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.

Help your child practice speech sounds at home, one small step at a time. WellArc offers short, guided sessions for 24 American-English consonant sounds. Choose a sound, listen to a model, record an attempt, and play both back to compare. Practice sounds on their own, then move through syllables, words, and short phrases. A parent or caregiver rates each attempt and can follow progress over time. WHAT CAN YOU PRACTICE? • 24 consonant sounds, including R, S, L, SH, CH, and TH • Four levels: sounds, syllables, words, and short phrases • Short, ten-item practice sessions • Progress by sound and a daily practice streak • Optional daily reminders QUESTIONS PARENTS OFTEN ASK “How can I help my child practice the R sound at home?” Choose R, listen to the model, let your child try, and replay both recordings together. “What are simple speech practice activities for kids?” Start with a sound on its own and work toward syllables, words, and short phrases at your child’s pace. “How can I see my child’s progress?” Rate attempts together and use WellArc’s progress view to see how practice is going over time. One sound is available without a subscription. Sound Steps Plus unlocks all 24 sounds. No account is required. Child practice recordings stay on the device and are deleted after rating or when you leave the practice card. WellArc supports practice at home. It does not automatically score speech, diagnose a speech condition, or replace a qualified speech-language professional.
