korean-assist turns Korean you actually want to read into typing practice. Every word you type is one you read, spell, hear and (if you like) look up, so you learn vocabulary in context while building real Korean keyboard skills.

1. 

   1Bring your own Korean

   Paste anything: a textbook dialogue, a news article, song lyrics you’re learning, your own diary. Or import a YouTube video’s captions (see “Want to import a YouTube video?”). Save texts to your library and pick up where you left off.

2. 

   2Type it, word by word

   Finished words turn white, mistakes turn red, and a syllable you’re still building shows the jamo typed so far, underlined (ㅎ → 하 → 한). Press space for the next word; backspace on an empty word goes back to fix a mistake.

   • You need a Korean keyboard turned on. On a Mac: System Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources → add “2-Set Korean”. On Windows: Settings → Time & language → Language → add Korean.
3. 공원에

   ▶ videovoice

   3Hear every word

   Each word is read aloud as you finish it, linking how it sounds to how it’s spelled. For texts imported from YouTube, the video itself plays the part you just typed, so you hear the real speaker. You can choose how much plays in settings, and ctrl+s says it again.

4. 공원에gongwone공원 · noun

   to the park

   공원 (park) + 에 (to, at)

   공원 a public place with trees, grass and paths where people walk and rest

   4Look up any word instantly

   Press ctrl+d after a word you don’t know. A banner shows its dictionary form, what it means in this sentence, and how it breaks down into the word and its particles or endings, without interrupting your typing. Meanings are shown in your language.

5. 안녕하세요! I’m 선생님. Ask me about the sentence you’re typing, a word you got wrong, or anything else in Korean.

   Ask 선생님

   5Ask 선생님 when you’re stuck

   선생님 is the Korean tutor behind the round button in the corner of every screen, and already knows what you’re typing: the sentence, the word under the caret and the words you just got wrong, so you can simply ask “why was that wrong?” or “what does this ending do?”. It’s free with an account, up to a daily number of messages, and premium gives you more.

6. 

   6See your progress

   Finish a text to see your speed (wpm and 타수, the usual Korean keystrokes-per-minute), your accuracy, and the words you missed. Click a missed word to look it up. Long texts remember your place, so you can practice a few minutes a day.

Everything you practice with here is free. Premium gives you more of the extras. see pricing
