Features

What our AI teachers can do

Not a translator and not a quiz bank. Our AI teachers run real dialogue: they listen, correct, remember your progress, and adapt the plan to your goal — travel, work, exam, or confident conversation.

Live dialogue, not drills
Your teacher doesn’t ask you to pick A/B/C — they ask a question, listen to your answer, and respond. Mistake? Corrected on the spot with a clear why.
Pronunciation with a mic
Say a phrase into the mic and get clear feedback. Prefer text-only? That’s fine too.
Live voice call
Speak in realtime — like a private lesson, without a fixed slot. Talk, listen, ask again: your teacher keeps up and guides you.
Level that fits from minute one
Short onboarding, then the teacher knows where to start. Pace adapts: no time wasted on what you already know, no skipped gaps.
Smart spaced vocabulary
New words land in your dictionary and return just before you’d forget them.
Memory between sessions
Goals, weak spots, and your current module stay saved. Come back next week — continue where you left off.
Grammar in your language
Hard rules explained in English first — clear, without jargon walls — then practiced in the language you’re learning.
Your rules — “Brains”
Stricter or more supportive? Slang or formal? You set learning rules and change them anytime.

Soo-jin

Your AI tutor

Soo-jin is your dedicated AI tutor, born from GoTxt's language engine. She doesn't follow a fixed curriculum—she adapts to your pace, interests, and mistakes. With a deep understanding of Korean speech levels, honorifics, and everyday Seoul expressions, she guides you from Hangul to natural conversation. Soo-jin listens to your voice, corrects your pronunciation, and explains grammar in clear English. She remembers your vocabulary gaps and brings them back for revision, making every session more effective than the last.

  • Always available, patient, and never judges mistakes
  • Explains grammar in your native English
  • Tailors lessons to your goals: travel, K-drama, TOPIK
  • Teaches polite and casual speech levels naturally
  • Provides pronunciation feedback with voice practice
Dialogue, not drills
Practice real conversations: ordering at a Seoul café, asking for directions, or chatting about your favorite K-drama. Soo-jin corrects your particles and verb endings as you speak, like a live partner who never gets tired.
Voice practice with feedback
Speak into your microphone and Soo-jin rates your pronunciation. She'll point out when your 'batchim' (final consonant) sounds off—like the difference between '밥' and '밤'—so you sound more natural.
Speech levels explained
Korean has different levels of politeness. Soo-jin teaches you when to use '해요' versus '합니다' and when casual '반말' is okay—essential for real-life interactions. Soo-jin gives a real example in dialogue, corrects on the spot, and asks you to repeat the phrase — so the fix sticks in use, not in a quiz.
Smart vocabulary memory
GoTxt's VocabEngine tracks the words you learn and reviews them at the right moment. Soo-jin weaves them into new sentences, so you remember vocabulary long-term without boring flashcards.
Learn from zero
Start with Hangul—the Korean alphabet—and learn to read in days. Soo-jin breaks down each letter with examples and then moves you to simple words like '사랑' (love) and '친구' (friend).
TOPIK prep support
Preparing for the TOPIK exam? Soo-jin can quiz you on vocabulary, guide you through reading practice, and explain the grammar patterns you'll need for each level.
Real language, not textbook phrases
Learn what Koreans actually say: from '대박' (awesome) to '괜찮아요' (it's okay). Soo-jin includes loanwords like '커피' (coffee) to speed up your progress. Soo-jin gives a real example in dialogue, corrects on the spot, and asks you to repeat the phrase — so the fix sticks in use, not in a quiz.
Grammar made clear
Particles like '은/는' and '을/를' confuse many learners. Soo-jin explains them with simple examples: '사과를 먹어요' (I eat an apple) and '사과가 맛있어요' (the apple is tasty).

Korean grammar: what's easy, what to watch

Korean grammar bridge

✅ What will feel familiar

Hangul is logical and learnable fast—many master reading in a weekend.
Korean has many English loanwords like '컴퓨터' (computer) and '택시' (taxi).
Particles are consistent: '을/를' marks the object, '에' marks time/place.
Verb endings change in predictable patterns, much like conjugations in English.

⚠️ What to watch for

Speech levels: using '반말' with a stranger can be rude; Soo-jin teaches when polite '해요' is safe.
Particles are essential: '은/는' vs '이/가' changes nuance—soo-jin clarifies with examples.
Batchim pronunciation: final consonants like 'ㄱ', 'ㄴ', 'ㅁ' can be tricky; practice with Soo-jin's voice feedback.
Honorifics: verbs change when speaking about or to someone respected, e.g., '주다' becomes '드리다'.

💡 When you meet a new verb, ask Soo-jin: 'How do I use this politely?' She'll show you the formal and casual forms with example sentences.
