Amazing!

Amazing. Best. Must have for Korean learning
by Rein Koop, 2024-06-16

I've barely started using it but I'm so excited about this from seeing an app on Reddit. I'm TOPIK 6 but I have kind of given up on trying to find more authentic material to study because it's so time consuming to check vocab. I'm an English teacher in Korea so I've recommended Language Reactor about a thousand times to my students, but Korean doesn't usually work with these apps because of the grammar structures. I'm AMAZED at how the app knows that "날씨가" for example is "날씨" +가 when you hover over it. I wanted to write a review despite not having used it long because it seriously works so well and so many learners need to know about it! Dev please post to r/korean!!
