Reading: import and learn

Turn a short text into words you can understand and practise. Works on your phone or computer.

If asked to sign in, do that first. Choose Korean to study and English for meanings. Button names below match the English interface.

  1. Choose Paste text in Korean. Paste a few lines you want to understand, add a title, then select Save transcript.
  2. Hover a word on a computer, or tap it on your phone, to see its meaning for free. Then read the sentence again.
  3. With Starter, Plus or Pro, choose Learning to save a new word for practice, or Learned if you already know it. Words you have already saved stay available on Free.

1. Add one short text

Open Reading Workspace. Select Paste text in Korean, paste a short paragraph in the language you are learning, give it a title, and save it. Start with something you actually want to understand: a message, a short article, or a few lines from a conversation. A short text is easier to finish than a long document. On a phone, select Collapse study desk after saving to return to the reader.

2. Import a video transcript

Instead of pasting text, you can use the URL import option for supported YouTube content. The source needs usable captions in Korean. Follow the import form's result; not every URL has an available transcript.

3. AI

Ask an AI for a short conversation in Korean at your level. Copy only the conversation, then paste it into Reading Workspace. Example prompt: “Write a short conversation about ordering coffee. Use simple vocabulary.”

4. Read and look up words

Open your text. Hover over an unfamiliar word on desktop, or tap it on mobile, to see its dictionary information. Use the available pronunciation/audio controls to hear it. Reveal the sentence translation when you need help understanding the whole sentence. Read the sentence again after the lookup so you connect the word to its context.

5. Save useful vocabulary

Saving a new word requires Starter, Plus or Pro; compare plans to choose the saving allowance you need. Words already in your vocabulary remain available on Free. In the word popup, choose Learning for a word you want to practise. Use Learned when you already know it. Your saved words appear in Words, where you can search them and inspect their examples. If you want a word's source sentence saved for review, enable Save source sentence for reviews in Settings before saving it. Star a sentence when you want to keep the whole sentence.
