What is inside
- Lessons
Read the scene, and hear it line by line where the device has a Korean voice. Then its words: match them, pick their meaning, fill a gap in the word's own sentence, put a sentence's words in order, and answer three questions on the scene.
- Hangul
The 40 letters with their names and romanization, a syllable builder, reading, hearing and writing each letter.
- Review
The cards you have met, seen again after 1, 3, 7, 16 and 40 days; a miss brings a card back sooner.
- Me
Your rank, the characters you have met to wear, cards met, reviews due today and lessons done in each level.

Where the words come from
Each level of the course teaches the same level of the National Institute of Korean Language's graded vocabulary list, which sorts Korean words into six levels. TOPIK I covers levels 1 and 2; TOPIK II covers levels 3 to 6.
The English on the word pages comes from the institute's Basic Korean Dictionary, and romanization follows the Revised Romanization of Korean.
Each level also has a page here, without the app: its paper's pass score, the world and its cast, and every lesson with its words. Lessons 1 to 10 of each level are published whole as reading pages, each line in Korean, romanization and English, with the scene's words and its questions.
