Hello, Korean NeighborsKorean conversation practice · from polite speech to casual speech
One day, your Korean neighbor greets you like an old friend.
No curriculum — learn real Korean by talking with your neighbors every day. As your level rises, their polite speech loosens into casual, everyday speech.

What a textbook can't do
A textbook tells you the rules. It can't tell you when you broke one.
Boksun · polite speech
The lamp flashes when you use casual speech with someone who expects politeness — not with friends your age.
Jeongmi · casual speech
The same lamp catches grammar slips too — more gently. Switch off the 💡 button in the input row to stop only the polite/casual speech flashing.
Relationships change how they talk
The moment a neighbor becomes family
As memories build up, your neighbor's way of talking changes. As your level rises, polite speech softens into warm casual speech.
At first · guest
Once you're a regular · family
How they address you changes with your age and relationship, too.
Your neighbors remember you
The more memories you build together, the higher your level — and the higher your level, the warmer they speak to you.
Come back after a few days, and your neighbor notices — and brings it up first.
Korea's seasons pass by with your neighbors, too.
Easy to start
Can't type Korean? No problem
Is typing Korean hard?
Type in your own language and it's translated, so you can chat. A Korean keyboard and romaja input are built into the app too.
Translation and pronunciation in every reply
Translation, pronunciation, and restored context aren't separate tools — they come with the reply itself.
Tap a word to see its meaning
Tap any word you don't know to check it right away.
Pick beginner, intermediate or advanced, and the same neighbor talks differently.
Travel & living: real-life missions
From airport immigration to market haggling, clinics, banks, and work dinners — pick real-life travel and living situations and practice them like missions. Not small drills, but real Korean life.

Say it out loud
Real-time voice conversations with 28 distinct voices — and you can interrupt mid-sentence.
Your neighbor gets ready to meet you — about a minute at first, instant after that.
