Learn Korean in Seoul

Standard Korean as Seoul speaks it: polite 해요체 with strangers and anyone older, the formal 합니다체 in shop greetings, and 반말 only with close friends your age. Everything is in Hangul, with romanization to help you read it.

In Solvelingua you move to Seoul (서울), find a home in Mangwon-dong, and learn Korean the way people there speak it: by talking with the baker, your landlord, your boss and your friends, by voice or by typing. Everyone remembers you, and gentle feedback after each conversation shows what to say next time.
