The Path

From your first hello to the jokes only Koreans get.

A 500-episode listening path, made level by level. It is still being built: the episodes that exist are listed below, and the rest are marked planned.

Five levels

100 episodes each.
A little harder every step.

Levels follow real life, in the order you would meet it. Levels 1 and 2 have episodes today. Levels 3 to 5 are planned.

01

Level 1 · Survive the first week

Say hello, order food, shop, and handle small mistakes.

02

Level 2 · Move and stay in touch

Trains, directions, hotels, phone calls, and texting.

03

Level 3 · Live and work

Friends, dating, family, roommates, and your first day at work.

04

Level 4 · Handle real problems

Clinics, banks, refunds, lost items, and asking for help.

05

Level 5 · Sound like you belong

Slang, memes, saving face, and the jokes that need no translation.

The plan for new episodes. Slow, short sentences first. One new pattern at a time. Words come back in later episodes. Every 10 episodes is one season, and every 100 ends with a graduation episode.

Every episode is one funny scene, five tracks, and a workbook that shows each Korean line in Hangul and in Hangulish. We list an episode only when its audio and workbook are ready.

A few quick answers

Questions.

Short answers, no promises we cannot keep.

I know zero Korean. Can I start?

Yes. Start with Level 1. You do not need to read Hangul first.

Is Hangulish real Korean writing?

No. Hangul is the real alphabet. Hangulish is my own reading aid that shows Hangul blocks with Latin consonants. The audio and the Korean in the workbook are standard Korean.

Will this make me fluent?

I cannot promise that. I taught hundreds of students in person and many told me they loved it, but that is my experience, not a study. Listening and speaking regularly is what helps.

Are the voices real people?

No. The voices are AI voices.

How much does it cost?
