πŸ€” Why This Method Works for English Speakers

Most Korean courses overwhelm you with culture and grammar. We focus on ONE thing: getting you reading Korean fast.

The secret? Hangul is actually EASIER than English for reading:

  • 24 letters vs 26 (English alphabet)
  • 100% phonetic - no silent letters
  • Logical blocks - letters stack like LEGO pieces
πŸ’‘ English Speaker Advantage: Korean sentence structure (I rice eat) is more flexible than English (I eat rice). Once you get it, Korean becomes EASIER to express ideas!
