Learn Korean: Hangul Hero
Alphabet & 10,000 TOPIK Words
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: Hangul Hero is now in 33 languages, with meanings for all 10,000 words in yours. Write Hangul below ink-wash mountains. Hangul is free.
Learn Korean with a game you'll want to keep playing. Start with Hangul, then build 10,000 Korean words from TOPIK 1 to 6, one tile at a time.
See the meaning, hear the word, then find its blocks on the grid. Each tile is one Hangul block, so you learn to read Korean and hear how it sounds at the same time.
HANGUL FIRST
• The 21 vowels and 19 consonants, each with its sound and its name, then your first syllable blocks
• How Korean writing works: vowels, consonants, blocks, final consonants, linking and sound changes in 11 short cards
• Then put letters together and read your first words
10,000 WORDS IN 6 LEVELS
• TOPIK 1 (1,000 words), 2 (1,275), 3 (1,800), 4 (2,000), 5 (2,000) and 6 (1,925), most useful words first
• Romanization under every word, shown, fading or hidden as you like
• Meanings in your language or in English, one tap to switch, and clear audio for every word, letter and block
• 26 topic lists of about 100 words: travel in Korea, food and drink, K-drama and K-pop, webtoons and games, pop culture and slang and more
A GAME THAT TEACHES
• Find the tiles on a 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 grid as a little hero leaps onto them
• Stuck on a word? Tap Learn: watch it come together on the board, then the board shuffles and it's your turn
• Every word climbs from Learning to Familiar and Strong until it's locked in
• Earn a bronze, silver or gold star on every pack
• Missed words return in Review, and a Smart Pack mixes reviews with new words
• A Daily Challenge to play and share with friends
• Tile styles: print, gothic, brush and pen, to read Hangul in every face
WRITE HANGUL BY HAND
• Write each letter and block four ways, in stroke order, on a page with ink-wash mountains and Korean red pines: every stroke numbered, over its outline, after a quick look, then from memory
• The next stroke glows, with a brush sweeping the way it goes
• Your writing is checked as you go, on your device
• Your copybook keeps every letter and block you've written in your own hand and brings them back for review
A WORLD TO PLAY IN
• Ten Korean scenes, from a seaside hillside village and a hanok lane to green tea fields, a palace in snow and the Han River at night
• The four seasons and the weather that comes with them, from cherry blossom to snow, in a Calm or Vivid look
• Eight festivals on their days, from Seollal and Daeboreum to Chuseok and Hangul Day
• Badges, color themes, light and dark mode, iPhone and iPad

Ratings & Reviews
Hangul Hero, now in your language!
• The whole app is now available in 33 languages, from Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and French to Thai and Vietnamese. It follows your iPhone's language, or choose one in Settings › Language.
• Meanings for all 10,000 words now come in 32 languages as well as English. One tap on the meaning in the game switches between your language and English, or turn on Show English too to see both.
• A new Writing page: ink-wash granite peaks, a small pavilion among Korean red pines and ginkgo leaves drifting by.
• Weather that follows the seasons in Korea, and a Calm or Vivid look for the scenery in the ⋯ menu.
• More variety: mixes draw from every level you choose, Smart Pack and topic games bring more new words, and the other tiles come from each word's own level.
• Fairer boards: a tile that would also make a correct word, or sound the same, is never offered.
• Share your Daily Challenge with the new Challenge a friend button.
• Smoother sound effects, and Apple Pencil writing ignores a hand resting on the iPad.
