Learn Korean
by ear

Subtitles are a crutch. Dictation takes them away: hear a real Korean sentence, type it in Hangul, and see exactly which syllables your ear dropped.

Why dictation

Train the ear the dramas can't

Passive watching builds familiarity, not comprehension. Dictation forces your brain to resolve every syllable — no guessing from context, no reading the subtitle first. Hangul is the easy part; hearing 받침 at native speed is the skill.

STEP 01

Listen

1,756 real sentences read by native Korean speakers — not synthesized voices.

STEP 02

Type what you hear

Type in Hangul, exactly as you heard it. No word bank, no romanization, no hints.

STEP 03

Compare

Every miss is shown character by character. An English gloss appears when you get it wrong.

STEP 04

Review on schedule

Spaced repetition brings hard sentences back right before you'd forget them.


Honest expectations

This is hard on purpose

You will fail most sentences at first — spoken Korean elides and blends sounds in ways textbooks never show, and that is precisely what you're here to learn. No streaks, no gems, no mascot. Just real audio, a text box, and an algorithm that remembers what you miss.
