I love this app because it’s a rare thing to find an app that lets me practice my listening skills hands-free. Sure, some other language apps have listening bits, but this is the only one I’ve got that just lets me hear and practice the words and phrases without me needing to press the screen to hear something new. It’s perfect for when I’m walking my dogs. Though, I might now be locally known as The Weird Lady Who Mutters To Herself, I don’t know. It doesn’t matter. It’s got me practicing my speaking and my listening in one convenient app and I love it. However, there are some things I don’t like. Most importantly, the phrases it teaches you vary wildly in politeness level. Like, please study Korean from something that will teach you about politeness levels, because you will be all over the map if you just rely on this. You need to study from more than one source to understand what’s going on anyway, but this is one specific thing that stands out. And less importantly, I want the ability to make my own playlist. Yes, you can mark words as Favorites, but that’s a tiring thing to keep cultivated when it’s your only custom list. My favorites is mostly a list of things that don’t stick, but I also want to make lists of phrases, or adjectives, or idk, things that are fun to say out loud. Anyway, I love the app regardless! It really filled a specific need of mine!

I have two apps that I use to learn any language, and this is one of them. I use Nemo Korean (or any language) to help with learning phrases. I try to spend a few minutes each day working on reading comprehension mostly, but there are also tools to help with your accent, and you can change the pace between 3-10 new words at a time. I currently stick with 5. The only reason I got another app was because I needed something to help me learn the alphabet. Nemo would be better if they had an alphabet option. I would also like it if I could change the volume in the app without turning it off or affecting my background noise (sometimes I listen to nature sounds, leave me alone :P). I also hope to learn more about grammar, but so far Nemo has been better for grammar than Drops (the other app). I also really really like that I can spend as much time as I want for free.

I've downloaded SO MANY Korean language apps and none of them are as good as this one. The studio feature, the pronunciation audio, the flash cards, and the ability to look specific things up since everything is in alphabetical order is very helpful. Yes, some of the Hangul is off but it's only a few and it isn't too misleading so it's forgivable. My only complaint is that it teaches you extremely formal speech (like if you were talking to your boss or someone important), so I believe the app may have been made with professionals in mind who need to learn the language, and less for casual learners like me. Even so, it is good to know formal speech. Thank you for this app!
