Common Korean Challenges (And How LinguaLive Helps)
Every language has its tricky parts. Here's how LinguaLive helps you overcome the hardest aspects of Korean.
Speech Levels (존댓말 vs 반말)
Korean has 7 speech levels — using the wrong one is a serious social mistake. LinguaLive practices formal and informal registers in realistic scenarios so you always match the situation.
Sentence-Final Particles
Korean word order (SOV) is the opposite of English, and particles like 은/는, 이/가 mark grammar roles. Real conversation builds intuition far faster than grammar charts.
Sound Change Rules (받침)
Korean consonants change sounds based on their position — "ㄱ" can sound like g, k, or ng. LinguaLive's pronunciation feedback helps you master these shifts naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Learning Korean
Everything you need to know about learning Korean with LinguaLive.
How long does it take to learn Korean with LinguaLive?
Korean is different from English in grammar and sentence structure, so basic conversational ability typically takes 3-6 months of regular practice. However, you'll be having simple Korean conversations within weeks. LinguaLive accelerates speaking because you practice real conversations from day one.
Do I need to know Hangul before starting?
No! LinguaLive focuses on speaking and listening, so you can start practicing Korean conversation right away. Hangul can be learned in just a few hours, and we recommend learning it alongside your speaking practice, but it's not a prerequisite.
Can LinguaLive help me understand K-dramas without subtitles?
Yes! Regular conversation practice builds your listening comprehension and vocabulary. LinguaLive has casual conversation scenarios that include the informal speech styles commonly used in K-dramas. Many learners report understanding more and more of their favorite shows over time.
Does LinguaLive teach formal and informal Korean?
Absolutely. Korean has distinct speech levels (존댓말/jondaenmal for polite, 반말/banmal for casual). LinguaLive teaches both and helps you understand when to use each — crucial for Korean culture and social situations.
How does LinguaLive compare to other Korean learning apps?
Most Korean apps focus on reading Hangul and grammar drills. LinguaLive is the only app focused purely on Korean speaking practice with AI. It's ideal as a companion to apps like Duolingo or Talk To Me In Korean for a complete learning experience.
How much does it cost to learn Korean with LinguaLive?
LinguaLive starts at $9/month after a free trial. That's unlimited AI conversation practice — much less than Korean tutors ($15-40/hour). Practice speaking Korean whenever you want, as much as you want.
Can LinguaLive help me prepare for TOPIK?
LinguaLive's conversation practice builds the listening and speaking skills you need for TOPIK. While it's not a dedicated TOPIK prep tool, the natural conversation practice strengthens vocabulary and comprehension at all proficiency levels.
