About Kimchi Reader
IMPORTANT: Kimchi Reader is free to download, but it requires an active subscription to use. New users can start a 7-day free trial with just an email - no credit card required. --- Start learning Korean by enjoying the content you already love. Kimchi Reader is a powerful tool (not a course) built to help you immerse using real Korean media. READ & WATCH ANYTHING Immerse yourself in Korean on YouTube or by importing your own e-books (EPUB) and text files. INSTANT DICTIONARY ON TAP Every word is clickable. Tap any word to instantly see: - Detailed definitions (including a monolingual dictionary) - Grammar breakdowns - Hanja meanings - Frequency ratings, so you learn the important words first POWERFUL SENTENCE MINING Found a sentence you want to remember? Mine it. The app creates a rich flashcard with the word, its definition, and a video screenshot for full context. SYNC WITH ANKI Use the desktop add-on to seamlessly import your mined sentences into Anki for long-term memorization with spaced repetition. SMART RECOMMENDATIONS Mark words as "Known" and let the system find the perfect book or show for you from its massive content database. No more guessing what to study next. WHO IS THIS FOR? Learners who already know Hangul and some basic vocabulary. It is designed to take your immersion-based learning to the next level. BUILT BY A LEARNER, FOR LEARNERS This app was coded by a solo developer (me) who is also learning Korean and was tired of mediocre tools. Every feature is built to solve real problems learners face. If you have any questions, please join the Discord. There is always someone from the friendly community (real humans) online to help.
