Why LingoLab Korean is different

Study the Korean you actually want to say, explained in your own language.

Try the demo lesson above to see how a sentence is explained, then sign up to study your own.

  • Your sentences, not a fixed course

    Type what you want to say in your language, or paste Korean you saw in a K-drama, online or on a trip.

  • Explained in your language

    Meanings and grammar notes come in the language you choose, from 22 languages.

  • Sentence first, then each word

    See the whole sentence, then every piece inside it with its romanization, role and meaning.

  • Hear it, then say it

    Listen to the audio and see how it is actually pronounced. Subscribers can also check their own pronunciation.

Try it with your own sentences. Free: 3 sentences and 3 words a day. No card needed.
