Version 1.2 rebuilds how the app teaches. Every sentence now passes four gates: meet it, understand it, build it, say it. There is no "I already know this" button — the app picks what you learn today and only banks a sentence once you have proved it. NEW • Podcast mode — hear what you have learned with the screen off • Five Korean-only courses: Hangul school, particles (은/는, 이/가), both number systems with counters, the three politeness levels, and verb endings • 2,702 words with pictures, audio and example sentences • Word-by-word breakdown — what each part of a sentence means and which particle or ending it carries • Placement test, weekly test, word pairs and sentence pairs • A reminder when a sentence is due, and a one-minute check to answer it BETTER • Romanization writes how Korean sounds, not how it is spelled (좋은 → joeun) • Every example sentence rewritten in 해요체 — the level you actually speak • Progress counts what you proved, not what you tapped • Dark mode, and a new look throughout

We've rebuilt the learning flow from the ground up. Lessons now follow a single clean path: flip the flashcard, learn the word with Korean, romanization, and native audio, then go straight into Echo Mode to speak everything you just learned — no extra steps in between. The "What did you hear?" step is gone. The flow is simpler and faster: learn, then speak. Your Speaking Practice list now only shows real spoken attempts, weakest phrases at the top. The home screen is redesigned around where you actually are: color-coded Continue cards for every topic in progress, a dedicated Speaking Practice shortcut, and a Reinforce card that surfaces words you know but haven't yet nailed in pronunciation — and quietly disappears once you have. The first topic is now fully free, so anyone can experience a complete lesson before upgrading.
