Learn Korean
Learn Korean built for you
Lumi Language is Korean for a cousin in Seoul, a new job, or speaking to a partner's parents properly. Every word has a romanisation, and the generated course follows who you will talk to — lunch chat at work is not the same as 존댓말 at a family table.
Not “Korean, beginner” — “visiting my cousin in Seoul in October — I want to order food and follow shows without subtitles”.
Ordering and family-visit phrases before colours and farm animals.
First-month Korean phrases
- Housing — Viewing a flat, asking what is included, agreeing a date.
- Town hall — Registering, asking where to queue, the document they will ask for.
- Doctor — Booking, saying where it hurts, understanding the next step.
- Neighbours — The first hello in the stairwell, and the first small ask.
Longer: what to say at a Korean 주민센터 · what to say at a Korean flat viewing.
Questions
Do I need to know Hangul first?
It helps, and you will see it from lesson one, but every word also has a romanisation. You can start speaking before the script is fluent.
Formal or informal speech?
Depends who you named. Parents and colleagues get polite endings; a cousin your age may not. Ask the tutor mid-exercise why a sentence ends in 요 or 니다.
Can this help with dramas without subtitles?
A little, if that is the goal you type. You will not understand a whole episode in a month; you will recognise the greetings, food talk and endings that keep tripping you up.
Is this North or South Korean?
South Korean, Seoul-leaning. If you need something else, say so in the goal — generated lessons follow the situation you describe.
