Korean by Nemo Reviews

by Shad126

I love Korean 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 this app 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 Korean regardless! It really filled a specific need of mine!

I've downloaded SO MANY this app 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 Korean 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 Korean!

I have two apps that I use to learn any language, and this is one of them. I use Nemo this app (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 Korean 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.

My wife and I use it every day. I'm in Korea now so I get to use some of the phrases already, and surprisingly --- Koreans understand what I'm saying! It's convenient that Korean lets us decide how much we want to learn every day. I also like the daily reminder to repeat what we've been learning. I use this more than any of the other apps I've downloaded for this app language.

I really like Korean. It's good to have on in the background when you're doing housework or driving so you can practice. I like that if you aren't comfortable with a phrase, you can turn it red (increased frequency) so you can practice it more. My only complaint is I wish they had typing exercises so I could practice spelling the word as well. Otherwise it's perfect.

I love learning this language since I'm into K-pop . Is easy and fun for me . The only down side is I really want the full version of Korean ... Which cost 10$ . I have the money for it but I don't want to pay that much for it . 나 사랑 이것 !!! I want to learn more of this 아릉다운 language .It would help me if I decide to go to Korea .

‪안녕하세요 여러분 제 이름은 Melite입니다 만나서 반갑습니다. Love Korean . I even purchased more words to learn! The more words I learn the more easy it would be for me to learn the sentence structure and how it all fits together! learning the 는, 은 , 요, 어요, 해요 .. list goes on haha but thank you for Korean.

The free version of Korean is an excellent introduction to this app. It has an amazing layout and also has a lot of tools in the settings (not to mention the great voice quality). I would definitely recommend!!

by Nia Zavala

I mean this when I say it. Korean is the most helpful. I make actual flash cards out of the words and phrases they give me and I've been learning at a very rapid pace. I can pick out words and phrase from this app conversations now and it's really satisfying.

by Jamiah Perry

I absolutely love it. I love how they have the feature when you can compare yourself to see if your pronouncing it correctly! Also love how they have the romanization and the this app version of the all on one screen. I've been learning at an amazing pace with Korean.

Came home from a this app vacation wanting to learn more. I had two apps in Korea. They were both terrible. Wish I'd had this one! I'm really enjoying it. Only had it three days and I'm ready to upgrade to the full version.

by TyHierra A

I’ve honestly been looking for an app that starts at beginners stage because every app I got in like duolingo they pop up with these big words and haven’t even taught me the basics! The only feature I wish Korean was like a drawing feature where we can write the words. But all together I totally recommend Korean keep up the good work 👌🏾

I have tried about eight different apps to assist in learning this app. Korean is by far my favorite. It is easy to use and my favorite feature is that you can change the format of delivery. So, if I'm driving in my car, I can set it to just say each word eight times (along with the translation). I can also practice reading by taking the phonetic descriptor away and only leaving the Hangul. Awesome app!

There are lots of options in settings that make this learning app incredible. Slow down, speed up, add romanization and pause plus lots more that make it fun to learn. Most apps i have use speak too fast or dont give me enough time to think about what word i am to use, but Korean is awesome the words are spoken clear and at my rate! Fantastic it is a MUST for learning languages properly

by Cindy1362

I have used various apps and computer programs and this is by far the most helpful!!!! I used it once and I already feel like I am am learning and improving! My favorite part is where I am able to record my voice and see how close it is to the actual pronunciation. I think Korean is really helping me in my pronunciation! Used it for about 30 minutes and corrected some major errors and problems I've been having! Love it!

I've been using Nemo for a few weeks now and I am impressed with how much easier this app is to learn with it. Some say it's too formal, but I figure if I was to go to Korea, I would rather use the formal version until I got to know the other person better. The fact that Korean gives both the formal and informal versions is great. Also, Nemo has a reminder option so you can study at the same time on the days you want. Very happy with Korean!

by MangoLicorice

I've downloaded 5 learn this app apps (so far) this is the one I use the most. It's the most versatile, with the most options, I really like it. I can learn per word or sentence or I can put on play for the car and it will go through all the words I've learned so far. It asks me how many words I want to learn per day, it asks how I would like to view those words. I will very likely purchase the $9.99 upgrade which will give me over 1200 additional words or phrases. Someone put a lot of thought into Korean, and it shows good job!

by Allthereveiwnamesaretaken

I use Korean every day or every other day and it is wonderful! It reminds me to look at the words of the day and there are soooo many words that you know you'll be using Korean for a long time. It also sorts words and phrases by categories so they can be easier to find. You can also just search up any word and they will most likely have it. What is really helpful is that every phrase or word comes with audio so that you can make sure you're saying it properly. Over all Korean is wonderful and easy to use!

by Hahahahaheee

I love Korean so much! I like the way you get to learn phrases and words and that there are so many variations to learning them. Also they have so many words for free and it’s all just great practice. For being free this is by far the best app I have found for just wanting to learn vocabulary. It’s easy to use and free!!!

The only problem I have with it is that sometimes there are so many things you can learn I kind of get confused of how to use all the controls. It’d be cool to have like a “show me around” thing in the beginning so that users can use be app to its full potential.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

by Re-Angel

Korean is very easy to use. I've learned so much in a short time. If you use play mode it will continue repeating so it useable while driving, in the gym or shopping. You can even record yourself to judge your pronunciations! I do hope they add challenges that that system will record and rate you on. Examples would be annunciation, grammar usage and spelling. Please and Thank You.

I was used to duolingo and not eager to learn the ways of a new app but this is such a great way to learn! It has many different tools to play around with so that you can choose what works best for you, including audio, video, visual cues, and voice recordings so you can examine your pronunciation . It rates vocab for you on a temperature you can adjust depending on the difficulty, so that when you practice "hotter" words come up more often vs cold words. It will also tell you your daily stats and compare with it week by week. Play around with it and find what works for you!
