Hangul foundations
Every vowel and consonant, how syllable blocks are built, stroke order and native audio — reading Korean within days.
Hanguljo is a free iOS app that takes you from your first Hangul letter to TOPIK 6 — reading, words, grammar, speaking and listening, in one calm path built around how memory actually works.
Most people who start Korean learn to read Hangul in a few days — and then stall. Vocabulary doesn’t stick, verb endings multiply, particles blur together, and real speech sounds nothing like the textbook. The usual answer is more apps: one for flashcards, one for grammar, a playlist for listening. None of them talk to each other.
Hanguljo was built to put the whole journey in one place. Foundations, TOPIK lessons, conversations, dictation and your own videos all feed one spaced-repetition garden, so a word you meet anywhere comes back exactly when you are about to forget it. And the design stays soft and quiet — no noisy gamification, just Korean.
Every vowel and consonant, how syllable blocks are built, final consonants and stroke order, with native audio — so reading is solid before vocabulary begins.
1,432 Hanja, each with a memory hook. Most academic Korean is built from them, so one root unlocks a whole family of words.
139 conversations with shadowing, 60 dictation lessons cut from real Korean videos, any video you paste in, and on-device OCR for signs and menus.
Lock screen, home screen and quiz widgets show only words you have studied — and answers on the quiz widget count as real reviews.
