INDEPENDENT KOREAN LEARNING
About 차근 Korean
A practical first step
This English-language pilot contains four lessons and one unit check. It is an independent course, with no official TOPIK affiliation or proficiency equivalence. Original explanations and practice were prepared for this site. External native-speaker review has not been completed.
Your learning stays here
No account, real name, email or microphone is required. Learning records are stored in this browser’s localStorage under this site address. They do not automatically synchronize across devices or with 차근 Hangul. Clearing browser data can erase them; use the backup controls below. Backups are JSON files containing learning records, with no personal contact fields. Restore reads the file in the browser and does not upload it to a server.
No advertising or analytics scripts are included. The hosting service receives normal page requests; this is not a promise of complete network anonymity.
Audio & artwork
The greeting and thank-you recordings reuse previously generated Google Cloud Chirp 3: HD Korean audio, voice Zubenelgenubi. They are synthetic examples. 9 additional example and recall clips use the same Google voice. Playback uses static files, not live synthesis. Some examples may remain text-only. The 차근 Korean logo is an original AI-generated image; the introduction graphic is made with HTML and CSS. The first-meeting classroom illustration is also an original AI-generated image. These statements do not imply trademark clearance.
Learning principles
Recall practice, answer feedback and later review guide this design. No product-specific learning-effect study has been conducted. Self-reported speaking checks do not assess pronunciation.
