Learn together, not alone

Frequently asked questions

What is InWorld Korea?
A community-first way to learn Korean — with a speaking-first focus. Short K-Culture–rooted lessons plus Listen & Speak audio practice get you talking from day one, with weekly prompts and optional small-group sessions to keep you going.
How do I start?
Create a free account and start Read Korean (Hangul Basics) if you’re new to Korean—no credit card needed. Already know Hangul and have a basic understanding of sentence building? Jump ahead to Start Speaking Korean.
How much time do I need to learn basic Korean for a trip?
Start with our free Read Korean (Hangul Basics)—you can finish in under a week (or a weekend). You’ll read basic menus, names, and signs from day one, which makes learning Korean much faster.

Next, spend 20–30 minutes a day for 2–3 weeks to get trip-ready. Use the Start Speaking course to master the essentials — like simple sentence-building and speaking basics — by choosing topics related to your interests.

If you’d like a deeper cultural understanding and smoother conversations, continue with Everyday Korean to cover greetings, numbers, ordering, directions, and small talk.
What’s inside a typical Digital Course lesson?
  • Watch: A short video from a native teacher, with guidance from InWorld’s AI-generated Eonni.
  • Speak: Listen & Speak practice—listen, repeat, and record your voice to compare.
  • Check: a quick review quiz to lock in the key points.
  • Extras: a downloadable PDF worksheet for review and to build your own language notebook.
Is this course suitable for kids and adults?
Yes. It’s designed for adults and motivated younger learners who can follow simple, step-by-step lessons. For live small-group lessons, we offer separate Teen and Adult groups, so everyone feels comfortable.
What do I get as a member?
Weekly speaking prompts, mini-challenges, and access to the K-Culture Hub (travel essentials, cultural insights and more). We also offer live community practice sessions (free) so you can find potential conversation partners.
What is the InWorld Community?
The InWorld Community is your exclusive, private space to find your people. We group learners by interest and proficiency level, creating a friendly and welcoming environment where you can ask questions, get feedback, and build genuine connections with others on the same language journey. This is a judgment-free zone, so you’ll find the support and confidence to practice without hesitation.
Is the community moderated?
Yes. We use clear guidelines, friendly moderation, and privacy controls to keep the space welcoming.
Do you have a mobile app?
Not yet. We’re focusing on a great web experience first. Join free to learn now and help shape the app roadmap.
Can I get a refund for a paid course?
Yes. We believe language learning should feel natural and enjoyable. If it isn’t the right fit, email us at contact@inworldkorea.com within 7 days of purchase and we’ll issue a full refund — no questions asked.
