Frequently Asked Questions
Why learn Korean?
There is no better time to start learning Korean, the language is having a moment on the global stage right now. K-Pop groups like BTS and Blackpink have taken over the music charts. Squid Game was one of the most talked about shows on Netflix. And Parasite was the first non-English film to win best picture at the 92nd Academy Awards.

Korean cuisine has become increasing popular as a result. More people now know the difference between bulgogi and ddukbokki, and knowing the language will help give you a better appreciation for this exciting culture.

Learning Korean can even help your career. Because Korea is such a major economy, being able to speak the language can give you a leg up in the business world!
Why should I learn Korean with Memrise?
Memrise will help you have confident conversations in Korean on the real-world topics that are most important to you, like travelling, meeting your partner's family or connecting with work colleagues.

Choose from hundreds of practical scenarios and Memrise will give you the Korean vocabulary and practice to master those specific Korean conversations.

- Build your vocabulary with Korean words and phrases that locals actually use.
- Practice listening to native speakers using the vocabulary that you're learning, so you can understand them confidently in the real world.
- Practice speaking with your AI language tutor, so you can build confidence in private before having the conversations for real.
Where do I start when learning Korean?
Our language experts have created hundreds of practical "scenarios" to choose from at the start of your journey. These scenarios relate to your reasons and interests for learning Korean, whether it's connecting with your partner's family or simply understanding the lyrics to your favourite songs.

Choose your scenarios and learn relevant Korean words and phrases that locals will actually use.

Once you've learnt some useful Korean words, you'll be presented with listening practice. Immerse yourself in videos of Korean native speakers using the words you've just learnt in a real-world context. This is important, so you can understand conversations confidently.

Next, you'll be presented with speaking practice with your AI language tutor that relates to the scenarios you've chosen. Want to order food at a restaurant in Korean? Practice all the related topics in private, so you can talk confidently in the real world.
Will the Korean lessons be tailored to my language level?
Yes. Memrise is suited to all language level abilities - you'll select your level during registration.

All our videos are also filtered to match the words you've learnt!

Memrise will try to push you, so that you make real progress towards mastering scenarios you need to have successful conversations.

It should feel challenging at times, but won't be overwhelming.
How much time will I need to commit to learning Korean?
As much or as little as you like.

We suggest doing a small amount consistently and for that reason we offer you a recommended learning plan. However, you can always learn more or less should you wish.
Do I get a certificate for completing the Korean course?
We do not offer certificates for learning with us.

However, we're sure that the locals actually understanding you is all the street cred you'll need!
Is it difficult to learn Korean?
It doesn't have to be difficult! The secret to making learning easier and more fun is quite simple - focus on learning what you want to learn!

Memrise offers you this, by providing you with content based on your reasons for learning Korean.
