Your Korean learning center: letters, sounds, words, phrases, and a listening game, one block at a time.
π°π· Work through the letters and words, flip the flashcards, try the listening quiz, and keep your own notes in the notebook.
Hangul letters stack into little blocks. Each block is read in order: the first consonant, then the vowel, then a final consonant (called batchim) if there is one. This page uses a color coded method, where consonants, vowels, and batchim each get their own color, so a block shows its pieces at a glance.
A favorite example: μ¬λ (sarang) means love. μ¬ is s + a, and λ is r + a + ng batchim.
Your own little notebook on this page. Add a Korean word or phrase you want to remember, what it means, or just a note to yourself.
Saved on this device, and in your Pond Account when you are signed in, so your list is on your iPhone and iPad. The speaker button uses your device's Korean voice.
Tap any letter to hear it and see how it sounds.
Tall vowels stand on the side of the first consonant, like μ¬μ (woman). Wide vowels sit on the bottom, like μ°μ (milk). Once you know which kind a vowel is, every block you meet is built the same way.
Tap any letter to hear it with an γ , the way Korean kids learn them. The five double letters at the end are the same sounds, said stronger.
Once the 10 basic vowels feel friendly, these 11 are waiting. They are built from the basic ones, and they sit in blocks the same way.
Tap any word to hear it and see how it is said.
Small words, read block by block. λ κ³ being on the list will surprise exactly no one at the Pond.
Tap any phrase to hear it and see how it is said, syllable by syllable.
A fresh random mix of 10 words every day. Look at the picture, guess the Korean, then tap the card to flip it over and check. The back always shows the word both ways: the written sound and the Hangul.
Tap play, listen, then tap the vowel you heard. Sound needs to be on for this game (the Sound button up in the vowels section).

Oct 25 to 31, 2026 on Bunpo: a 3 day streak, 49 minutes of learning, and 140 XP. Slow and steady, like a duckling learning to swim.
