Learn Korean IPad app

(1/2) > >>

Zorse:
If you have an IPad, there's a really good free app. Helpful for when you first arrive in Korea. Things like directions, eating out, general conversation etc. There's a Korean voice for English words.


LearnKorean.

And what might I search for in the App store? What's the name of said app?

wtoddm:
No worries! I hadn't logged into Waygook until today anyway. :) Thanks!
I downloaded Korean Writing (handwriting?). It's for little children, but helps you understand the ''proper'' way to write Hangul letters. This has helped me when I'm reading Koreans' handwriting. I understand how a box (m-sound) can become an underlined "n" and a squiggle is just fine for (r/l) [can't type in Korean on this cpu]. It's got cute words as well that I wouldn't have learned elsewhere. Anyway, worth the trial version if you're interested!

There are a lot of free flashcard-type apps for the iPhone. One I purchased and really enjoy is "Korean Handwriting Plus."  While I can read Hangul, I have problems reading students' or co-teachers' handwriting. This nifty little app helped me see how the KOREANS are taught to write the Hangul characters... ergo explaining why the "m" sound can look like a melted "q" or which scribble is a "j/ch" or a "l/r."  Nevertheless, it's a cute little app with pertinent vocabulary as well. Give the free version a go to see what the rudimentary basics are like for the app.
