Official exams

What the public exam is, who runs it, and how the result is reported. This is a description, not a prep course and not a past paper.

Where this language is spoken

These cities are places where Korean is official, widely used, or part of daily life for many people. It is not the only language you will hear.

Who it is for

For someone who wants to get closer to Korean, for a trip, work, study, or a conversation.

In the app

In the app you choose Korean and a level when that language is open for study. This page does not give a lesson count and does not promise an exam course.

Words you hear every day

These are starter words from the same pack as the games. Where the spelling is not Latin, the reading next to it shows the sound. Tap the speaker to hear the word itself.
