Learn Korean by talking

Verbsy is a speaking-first Korean tutor you talk to out loud. It listens, answers, corrects what you got wrong, and remembers it for next time.

Korean speech levels are decided at the end of every sentence, under time pressure. That is not something reading can teach you — you have to be mid-conversation.

How learning Korean with Verbsy works

1
Tell the tutor what you want to be able to do in Korean — order dinner, get through an interview, talk to family. It turns that into a goal with concrete steps.
2
Talk. Put your phone in your pocket and speak through your headphones while you walk or cook. The tutor answers out loud and corrects you as you go.
3
The words you stumbled on become flashcards drawn from your own conversations, and five skills are scored from how you actually spoke.
