Learn Korean the way it's spoken.

Norae is a feed of real Korean short videos: vlogs, street interviews, food runs, drama recaps. Captions light up word by word as they're spoken. Tap anything you don't know, and it comes back before you forget it.

How it works

Real speech, matched to your level

Scroll a feed graded from your first Hangul to comfortable listening, with Korean and English captions highlighted word by word. When native speed runs away from you, slow the clip to 0.75× or 0.5×.

Tap a word, get what it means

You see what the word means in that sentence, plus its dictionary form and how it's used. Nothing sends you off to a dictionary mid-video.

Roots

Most Korean vocabulary is built from Chinese characters, and the same character turns up across many words. The words you save are grouped by the root they share, so 학교 brings 학생 and 과학 with it.

Every saved word keeps its clip

Save a word and it stays attached to the video you first heard it in. When it comes back as a review card, right before you'd forget it, you hear it again in the voice you learned it from.

A level with a name, not a number

You climb a named ladder as your listening gets stronger. Missing a day costs you nothing: streak forgiveness is always free.

No streak guilt. No sentences about a bear drinking milk.
