## Description

Korean by Nemo turns your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch into a portable Korean tutor.

Features include customizable word lists, on-demand exposure to Korean sounds, a Review Mode to boost memory, flashcard-style English descriptions, and quizzes to test mastery. The app prioritizes high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases for travel, dining, shopping, and conversation, helping you speak Korean with confidence.
