Read first, study second
Extensive reading is the engine. Flashcards are the safety net — there when you need them, silent when you don't.
Read Korean, for real
Learn Korean the way you learned to read.
Grow your vocabulary by actually reading — real Korean stories, with tap-to-define support right where you need it. Flashcards wait quietly in the background, for the words that try to slip away.
Built on comprehensible-input research. Korea's classics included.
No streaks. No confetti. No cartoon owl. Just reading.
Features
A reading lamp, not a casino.
Everything here serves one idea: the more you read, the more Korean you know. The tools stay out of the way.
Tap any word
Instant definitions and romanization — plus, for Korean, the hanja and root characters behind a word. Then it gets out of your way.
Bring your own books
Public-domain Korean classics are built in — 감자, 날개, 운수 좋은 날. Import your own EPUBs whenever you like.
Remembers what you've met
Words you meet while reading flow into a spaced-repetition deck (FSRS), so the ones worth keeping don't slip away.
How it works
Three steps. Mostly just the first one.
-
1
Open a book at your level
Start with a built-in classic or import your own. Pick something a little easy — that's the point.
-
2
Read; tap for instant help
Hit an unknown word? Tap it. Definition, romanization, root characters — then back to the story.
-
3
Review only when you need to
The words you met wait in a quiet deck. Review surfaces them right before you'd forget — no sooner.
Screenshots
Quiet by design.
Ink on warm paper. One slate accent. The reading does the talking.
FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Is FluentFable free?
[PLACEHOLDER — replace] Describe your pricing here (e.g. free to start, with an optional subscription). Avoid stating a specific price until it's final.
What level do I need to start?
[PLACEHOLDER — replace] A short, encouraging answer. The honest version: if you know hangul and a handful of words, pick an easy book and begin. The app surfaces the words you don't yet know.
Does it work offline?
[PLACEHOLDER — replace] State which parts work offline (downloaded books and your review deck) versus what needs a connection.
Will there be other languages?
The app is built to extend beyond Korean — English and Chinese are planned. No promises on timing yet.
Can I import my own books?
Yes. FluentFable reads EPUB files, so you can bring your own Korean books alongside the built-in public-domain classics.
