NEW: Scan real Korean text with your camera and turn it into flashcards instantly — menus, signs, books, and more. 100% on-device, nothing ever uploaded.
YangMAL is a serious, no-nonsense Korean vocabulary trainer. Thousands of hand-checked words and idioms, real flashcard mechanics, and zero ads, accounts, subscriptions, or tracking. Everything you study stays on your device.
FOUR MAIN DECKS:
• Beginner — 1,000+ everyday words with example sentences, organized into 10 topic packs
• Intermediate — 1,000+ everyday verbs, adjectives, and connectors a step up from the basics
• Advanced — nearly 900 words of formal/academic register and abstract concepts
• Idioms — 220 idioms, proverbs, and set expressions used constantly in real Korean media and conversation
Every deck is split into topic packs so you can drill exactly the category you need, or shuffle a random mix across everything.
SCAN REAL KOREAN TEXT INTO VOCABULARY
Point your camera at a menu, a sign, a book page, or any real Korean text, and YangMAL reads it on-device and turns whatever it recognizes into flashcards. No photo is ever saved or uploaded. Pick multiple photos or files at once to scan a whole chapter in one pass, tag scans by book and chapter (or whatever category makes sense), and manage or delete what you've scanned anytime.
FLASHCARDS THAT ACTUALLY HELP YOU LEARN
• Flip, shuffle, and track what you know vs. what you're still learning
• A session timeline you can scrub through to jump back to any word you've seen
• "Connects to" badges surface related words as you study
• A Speed Round drills you through just the words you don't know yet, against the clock
FIVE HANGUL TYPE STYLES
Study in Nanum Brush Script, Nanum Myeongjo, Nanum Gothic, Nanum Pen Script, or Gowun Batang. Switch anytime, it applies everywhere instantly.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS, YOUR WAY
Charts and pack-mastery badges show real progress. Export the words you don't know yet as a PDF or text study sheet.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
In a world where every app wants a cloud account and a subscription to "save your progress," YangMAL doesn't. Your progress backs up to a single encrypted file you control.
AirDrop it, save it, move it to another device, whatever you want. No account, no server, no analytics, no tracking of any kind.
Whether you're starting from scratch or already reading real Korean and just need to fill in the gaps, YangMAL is built to actually get you there.
