Learn Korean
at university grade.
CEFR A1→C2, an AI conversation tutor that adapts to you, and eight skills scored separately — built for adults who want real Korean, not a streak. Around 81 million speakers worldwide.
Free forever for individual learners. No ads, no card required.
Why serious learners choose Loquora for Korean
Most apps teach to a streak. Loquora teaches to a standard — the same CEFR scale a university or employer uses — and shows you exactly where you stand.
Eight skills, scored separately
Reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency each carry their own Glicko-2 rating — so you can see exactly where your Korean is strong and where it lags, instead of one flattened XP number.
An AI conversation tutor that adapts mid-sentence
Hold a real Korean conversation with a tutor (Claude Opus 4.8) that adjusts its difficulty to your level turn by turn, corrects gently, and explains why — not just that you were wrong.
Spaced repetition that respects your time
An SM-2 scheduler tuned per learner schedules reviews at the moment you're about to forget — no streak guilt, no grinding through cards you already know.
CEFR proficiency, A1 to C2
Every lesson maps to the Common European Framework, so your Korean level means the same thing here as it does to a university or an employer.
Native Hangul from day one
Korean is rendered in its own script (Hangul) — with the typography and input handling that most apps treat as an afterthought.
How hard is Korean for English speakers?
Among the most demanding languages for English speakers — Loquora's adaptive sequencing and per-skill tracking exist precisely for this kind of long horizon. Independent U.S. Foreign Service Institute estimates put languages in this band at roughly 2,200 hours (about 88 weeks of intensive study) of study to reach professional working proficiency. Loquora forecasts your own trajectory from your real session data, so the number you see is yours — not an average.
Korean certifications, on one scale
Loquora tracks your level on the universal CEFR scale (A1–C2), which maps closely onto TOPIK — the recognized Korean certifications — so you always have a comparable reference point as you prepare.
