Teuida: Learn Languages Reviews

by Nikki262

Ok so I’m gonna give some real conservative criticism here for Teuida. First of all I think this is a beautiful app. It’s so well constructed and unique. The teachers are great and the videos are really engaging. With that being said I noticed some inconsistencies in the ui. When I complete a lesson there is no green check mark. I have to close Teuida and reopen it to get the check mark to show up. Also at the part where the teacher gives a quiz, they ask “how do you say....?” and there is a fill-in-the-blank box, under that box sometimes there’s romanization under it, sometimes Hangul, sometimes English. Why does it keep changing? Why is this not consistent across Teuida ? And more importantly why is the answer shown on screen when it’s supposed to be a quiz??? I really wish the answer wasn’t there so I could actually test myself. Also, I’m sorry but I think that at this time there is too little content to justify the price. The levels are really quick to finish. You can finish everything that’s available in one or two days. I feel like you should have waited until Teuida was full of content to release it or to start charging so much. I’ll check back later when there’s more chapters available. And please.. add a placement test at the beginning so I know what level to start at. Not everyone needs to start at level 1.

Teuida is great but its if you want to learn CERTAIN phrases. But i think Teuida should cover more than just saying phrases. I think it should also help us learn sentence formations. Such as how usually in speaking Korean the verb comes last in the sentence. (I think). Also it should help us enunciate words. Korean words have sounds that English has never used before. Like for example, one of the lessons it teaches you to say how old you are, [seu-mul-da-seot] [sal] [i-e-yo]. The “sal-i” part was very hard for me to do because i didn’t know whether to roll an “r” or to pronounce the “l” thickly. I don’t know if that makes sense. I think it should help us learn different ways of saying something as well. Ive paid for the 12 month deal. And I’m glad i did. I’m excited to use Teuida and learn Korean. I think there are just a few a things to keep in mind,
1.) i think the lessons should include various ways to say a phrase,
2.) i think Teuida should help in teaching us sentence formations (maybe even hangul!! I would pay extra for that)
3.) i think Teuida should help teach us how to enunciate! That would be really helpful!

Hey I love Teuida cuz I want to learn Korean and they make it so it’s easier and funner to learn Korean but there’s just one problem when I’m playing and I have to watch an ad the age rating is more at a 17 or a 12 then a four year old rate I mean I just got done with a lesson then I see I add of a girl and a boy have sex!!! Plz can you put the age rate at 12 or 17 or just put more appropriate adds on there I sorry I know I sound like a Karen right now but I 10 and I don’t want to see that stuff I don’t think you cant even change the adds that go on Teuida but pls if you cant change the age rate if you can make your adds kid friendly then plz do so but if you really want to learn this amazing language then do so cuz Teuida does a great job teaching you!!!

First of all, I want to say that the concept of this learning language app is the best I have came across. I enjoy the concept of learning realistic dialogue instead of learning how to say things that aren’t necessarily useful. I also enjoy the instructors, they give a clear understanding and great guide to proper Korean pronunciation, I appreciate that. Now, there are some little things that I would change if I was a developer for this application. I do not mind the ads because I know the company, developers, and teachers work very hard and need support; but I do think they are a bit excessive. I think there should be a bit more structure when it comes to the levels and lessons: For example, have the learner complete the lesson first with a high grade before being able to access the dialogue. Also, if a learner doesn’t have premium, they should be given a timer on when they can access their next learning session. Other than that, I am very excited to see where else Teuida will go!

I’m relatively new to learning Korean but Teuida is incredibly helpful, especially when it comes to speaking coherent sentences and checking your pronunciation. Whenever I learn languages, I am always too nervous to speak but Teuida helps with that so much, especially since speaking a language is probably the best way to practice and retain things. However, the only thing I had a problem with while using Teuida was that sometimes it won’t pick up what I say or it will say I’m wrong before I even say anything at all. Just recently, I had an experience where it took a minute or more just to tell me if I said a portion of a phrase correctly. I closed Teuida a couple of times and still had the problem, I even deleted and re downloaded Teuida and it still was acting the same way. Also, sometimes Teuida would force close on its own. Hoping there will be an update to fix this and I will try again tomorrow. Teuida is great overall, I’d just say there’s a few technical issues to fix!!

안녕하세요!! This is an amazing app when I can actually use it. I’m gonna be realistic with what happens to me.

So, I open Teuida and I get the lesson list and the daily free lesson or whatever. I still can’t figure out where to start the lessons (any of the lessons but the free one), so when I press on the free lesson, it will bring up something that says “watch this add so we can continue to grow” or something similar.

After that, I watch the add, and it brings up a black screen with white text, and a white box. I tap it, and it brings up a button that says start/go/etc. As soon as I press start, another add comes up. Then it goes back to the black screen. I have only been able to learn 안녕하세요 (though I already knew it)

It is amazing of what I have done, which is why I’m giving this a 4 star. I will change it to 5 if you fix the adds, which is very annoying

(btw idk if there is a premium cuz I’m on downtime for it rn but I don’t have it so ya)

감사합니다 for reading, and have a nice day! Thx for taking the time to read!

Ps, I just went into it and I could do the first lessons, not just the free lesson... so I give this a 4.75 star rating 😄😄

Ok, so update! I can do the first lesson in chapter one (안녕 and 안녕하세요), but it won’t stop loading for lesson 2, so.... ya

So far, Teuida is very helpful! I like that it takes you through pronunciation step by step and that it repeats it. I enjoy that it includes multiple examples for each thing as well, rather than just saying “I am (name),” it also includes “I am a student.” There is one thing that I do not particularly enjoy, I wish there was more things for the people using the free version. I understand why they have more on premium, but it is very upsetting to learn that there is only one lesson available for free users. There is no other review besides that one lesson, which is not super helpful to some users. Overall Teuida is very good and helpful and it has a lot of potential. I would love to see some more free content added and maybe a game or two for review and memorization, rather than just mini quizzes and the active response videos. Keep up the good work, can’t see what the future holds for Teuida!! :)

While I study with a number of other resources, this app is a resource I would think others would find very digestible. The lessons jump right into conversational things like introductions and basic greetings. So, you may need to find another resource to cover the absolute basics like 한글 (Hangeul), but that is up to how thorough or the Korean language you want to explore. Basic conversation is still very much a valuable lesson given here, so I don’t have many negative things to say. Teuida implementing speech answers is very effective, as it makes the user step out of their comfort zone with speech and pronunciation. Overall, I’ve enjoyed the lessons I’ve explored thus far. Access to more lessons would be amazing, but I understand the marketing aspect of it. I don’t think a paid membership would be a waste, if you have the means to afford it.

I really love Teuida! I can tell that the developers really care about Teuida. I am half Korean and I have already studied Korean for over 8 years in a Korean cultural school. However, I’m still not fluent as most of the school focus was on culture and arts instead of language. I am already okay at Korean but I have trouble remembering certain words. However Teuida helps me a lot with this. There are so many lessons and levels. I’ve never seen an app like this where you can talk in real life scenarios this way. It’s great and I would recommend this to any beginners, as I recognized most of these and will definitely be helpful to others. My only suggestions are to add more breaks to speak in the video as there isn’t really that much speaking points in it compared to how many video there is. But that’s it, Teuida is amazing and I love how in touch the developers are to improve Teuida. I hope that there are more apps like this one for different languages like Japanese!

I absolutely love Teuida!! I always have a hard time speaking a new language and if I try to find someone to speak it with it’s so incredibly awkward, so Teuida is the perfect solution!! It also explains the phrases really well and breaks down the pronunciation, as well as explain the meaning. Duolingo has speaking activities for Korean, however its noooo where near as good as Teuida. Plus, Teuida is designed for speaking and has actual Korean people pronouncing the words, so it’s so much easier to understand.
If you have the money to, I would definitely recommend upgrading. I think it’s 100% worth it and once I start a lesson I want to keep doing more!
Thank you to the developers for making such an amazing app!! It’s extremely helpful and such an amazing resource for learning Korean!! 💜

by Shsudndbx

I love Teuida it is still hard for me to pronounce but I will get there if I keep saying it😅 but other than that I would say it is really helpful and plus Teuida is free u don’t hVe to pay today is my first day and I have learned a lot and I am really thankful to Teuida thank you❤️🙏I have been trying to find all where I can learn Korean but it was just hard for to do it but idk Teuida just felt different it is super easy to do it but if u are having trouble pronouncing it they will make u repeat u til u get it right which I love about it and once u get it just keep saying it every time and u will know how to pronounce it right so I would recommend Teuida to everybody

by Mary Flames

I have been finding amazing apps for learning Korean, but the one feature that almost every app lacks is a good speaking and pronunciation assist and learning without an insane amount of romanization. Teuida gives you the option of having romanization or not which is wonderful. Anyways, it took a lot of exploring to find this underrated treasure and I am blown away by Teuida! It has not only helped me with the speaking and pronunciation, but it makes it more fun by putting you in real life scenarios with an AI. This is my first experience with this kind of app out of all the languages I’ve learned, including Spanish. I am absolutely excited and grateful to have found Teuida. Definitely worth $10 a month! Thank you so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

by Theyyluv._.aniyah🥰

To start off, Teuida is amazing. I love how interactive it is with the speaking and how the tutors are so clear with their pronunciation. I wrote down many phrases in my notebook and go over them many times a day and I’ve gotten so much better! Yes, I rated it 5 stars.. However, I can’t really move on due to having to pay for other parts of the units. I would definitely pay but I’m just not in the position to as of right now. I understand the hard work each and everyone puts in Teuida’s development and improvement, and I’m glad. I just would rather not pay, which goes for any app! But.. overall, Teuida has great scenarios and situations that are more likely to happen. It’s kind of like a story, which I love :)

by Lover Of Anything Korean

안녕하세요. Teuida has been so helpful and amazing to me. It’s helped me build confidence in speaking and memorizing.
The one thing I might say though is that it would be very helpful if you could add a unit test that covered everything in the unit. Because when I want to review how to order at a restaurant or talk about plans I have to go through the entire lesson. I understand that you would probably go like. 뭐? Why can’t they just find the lesson wouldn’t that be easier. The other helpful thing with adding unit tests is that I could also review every thing I covered.
Lastly, I understand that everyone at this app has been working very hard on all this and that it takes a long time to film everything. I love Teuida and hope you guys will keep succeeding and make great lessons. 감사합니다. 안녕하세요.

So I know most who want to learn Korean were probably inspired by the Kpop wave that has happened over the years. The fact that we can gain perspective into a normal Korean conversation (with an idol no less) is so unique and exciting in my personal experience with language apps. I really feel like I’ve learned a lot in the first lesson alone and, most importantly, retained that information. I think it is because they’re not only teaching us the grammar, spelling, and pronunciation, but also the meaning of these phrases as well. The visuals are a helpful plus. It’s really a lot of fun and well thought out, even the regular translators speak very clearly to the student (hak-saeng!). I hope those who are using Teuida learn to not only appreciate the language but the culture and people as well. I will definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested.

by I Dont Even Use This App

I have been learning Korean on and off for about a year now. My goals are to be able to have comfortable conversations with Korean native speakers. However, there are almost none in my area and I am 14 so getting tutors or classes would be difficult do to my parents not having enough money because I’m preoccupied with other things. I have tried apps like hello talk but I find most people my age aren’t really interested in language. I would like to say I LOVE Teuida. It’s nice to have a resource for learning that is just focused on speaking and listening. I really like what I see so far and in the future I would like to see what comes next.

I really recommend Teuida for people like me who have learned Korean but are only comfortable in reading and writing. Or people who are starting out and want to have a strong foundation in speaking. Honesty a great app!

by Austinite_Vicky

I tried the free trial, and loved it so much I’m going to subscribe right after I leave this review. Not for a total beginner (know your alphabet and how to pronounce it) but great for learning basic grammar and checking your pronunciation, especially if you’re embarrassed to talk to friends or a tutor yet. I am all of those things, haha. I love how they break down each word, pronounce it, show the Hangul, and explain the sentence structure. And they voice recognition software is really good! Not 100% but I’m sure will get there. Already it’s better than Siri 😂. I’ve already learned so much. I need it for work, but plenty of Kpop content here for those of you interested in that (I am too, admittedly). Can’t wait to see where they develop Teuida. They also asked for my feedback in a survey, so they are all about improving. And their real-life conversation scenarios are so helpful to get over that fear of speaking. 5 stars!!

Hi I absolutely love, love, LOVE the idea and concept of Teuida! I love to follow K-Pop (BTS) and K-Drama so I’ve wanted to learn Korean only problem is in America it can be hard to find Korean classes plus they are expensive and all the apps I have found on iOS to learn Korean is Hangul based teaching you vowels and constants and so on when all I want to learn is conversation skills to speak Korean not necessarily write it so I love how on here I am forced to speak it and the content is more conversation based only thing bad I have to say is it needs updates because it glitches on my phone pretty bad I get to the part where I have to repeat the word or phrase no matter how loud I say it, it acts like it didn’t hear me then finally tells me whether I said it right or wrong or somewhere in between then after that Teuida kicks me out don’t know if anyone else has had that problem but yeah other than that LOVE where this is going!

by Rabiah-Anderson

I’ll leave my original review below, but now I am happy to report that the serious problem of the forever “unstable network connection” seems to have been resolved. I really love and enjoy the concept of Teuida, and hope it does well! Giving it 5 stars!

I just found Teuida and was thinking of getting a subscription for both me and my sister if it was good, but it won’t load and just keeps saying “unstable network connection,” which isn’t true. Hopefully this is a simple bug that will be fixed soon so I can try it out before I get a different gift for my sister for Christmas. It looks like it will be a super fun way to learn Korean and Japanese. Edit: I’ve gotten it to work and tried it out, and I like it, but often it does still say “unstable network connection.” Nothing else does this, but maybe it’s more sensitive to any changes. 🤷‍♀️ I’m going to try it out for a couple days and see how it goes.

안녕하세요! Pro: I am currently studying Korean in book oriented format with limited spoken or listening interaction. So,I decided to try Teuida to help boost my speaking and listening confidence. I really enjoy the interaction with the virtual classroom and teaching moments. I have found the teaching moments are perfect review for what I have learned in texts and helps fine tune my pronunciation of language flow and sounds. Listening to real voices vs synthetic voices is a tremendous boost to my learning. I am looking forward to whet else Teuida has to offer as I continue using my learning with Teuida. So far, excellent app! I like this app enough that I offer a positive review! To the developers I would like to say, 감사합니다 수고하셨습니다!

OF NOTE: I had sent a first version of Teuida that had included a discussion and request for a paid subscription vs. the advertisement interruptions. However, I found I had overlooked the paid, ad free option! 죄송합니다!

So, I am updating this review to the full 5 stars..

I re-installed Teuida so many times and it wouldn’t work so I just stopped trying and wrote this.

by Nebi22

This a a great app! It really helps you with Korean, but for some of the lessons it switches languages. Because of that I can’t keep going forward. I deleted Teuida and reinstalled it, but it still kept switching languages. Then I deleted my account and made a new one, but it still keeps switching languages. I set it for English. It’s a shame because I really enjoyed Teuida.

by Nanacchu

Nervous to actually speak with natives, so Teuida is really helpful! I especially like the full conversation after finishing the lessons, it’s a good substitute/practice by putting everything together.

by Moon8247

I’m only at level one but I seen improvement on my Korean. Joe job on Teuida and continue doing well and being safe.

by JwoongJ

It’s really great to practice speaking. If you are beginner, you can learn expressions and practice speaking at the same time. If you have studied Korean, you can test yourself whether you can speak in Korean in a conversation :)

by S.mtrwbry

If you want to learn korean this is literally Teuida for you, it’s super authentic unlike most apps, and corrects you well on your pronunciation!

by 미국에서 온 알렉스입니다

As someone who was really nervous to practice pronunciation, I think Teuida really helped push me past the barrier I was facing. A great app (:

by Jazyy.girl

i love Teuida so much ! i feel like this has helped me more than any other korean teaching apps/sites !

by G0ld Bullet

This apps is so unique and awesome. I’m really inspired to learn because I’m like talking to Nancy.

by Taetae_2013

They have great pronunciation and great lessons

by Lalisa Roseanne Choi

I like it, it tests my Korean better

by Btsluver17

It’s great that I get to learn from an idol that I know and I gets me really excited to learn more! Would recommend!!
