Where do I start?

Answer three quick questions to find your starting point. Free, no sign-up.

Why we ask

Nobody learns Korean in general. Someone here for K-pop needs different words in a different order from someone flying to Seoul next month. These three questions pick a starting point that matches your reason and your level.

If you would rather just look around, the doors are here and the phrase list is here.

A first week, whatever your reason

Whatever you answer above, the first few days look similar for most people, so here is the short version. If your trip is only days away, skip ahead to the phrases and learn them by ear first; the alphabet can wait until you are back.

• Days 1–2: the alphabet

  Go through Learn Hangul once, then play a few rounds of Hangul Hero each day. You are aiming to recognise letters, not to be perfect.
• Days 3–4: your first ten phrases

  Pick ten phrases from the page that matches your reason. Listen to each one and say it out loud several times.
• Days 5–7: check yourself

  Use Match Up without a clock, then the Phrase Quiz with one. Read the pages of anything you miss.

What the answers change

Your answers decide where the plan starts, what it suggests for today, and the order of the steps after that — the reason you are learning picks the page you start from, and the time you have each day decides how much the plan asks of you. Your answers are kept only in your own browser, so when you come back on the same device the plan picks up where you left off instead of asking again.
