Seonsaengnim
reviews.

“I recommend this app! It's as much a pleasure to use as it is a real comfort for learning and reviewing daily. Ergonomic, fun, and educational, it's ideal for learning and revising, even with just 15 minutes available. The lessons are short and focused, the thematic flashcards, as well as the reading and review sections, make learning enjoyable and motivating. In addition to my online courses, it’s a particularly effective and comprehensive tool, more in-depth. Special mention to Prof Park, a real asset! Being able to interact with her at any time, ask questions, and practice speaking without stress is a valuable help for progressing and daring to speak. When learning Korean, it can sometimes be difficult to be in contact with the language daily: this feature offers a real solution. A complete, motivating app designed for progressing at your own pace. A big thank you!”

“Seonsaengnim is exceptional!! This is the first time I've found such a comprehensive app. I love the grammar exercises, the hanjas for memorizing vocabulary, and the texts with the integrated dictionary! I finally feel like I've discovered an app that allows me to understand what I'm learning more deeply to better memorize it. I'm amazed, I've made a lot of progress thanks to this app! I've always learned Korean on my own and I specifically needed this, thank you so much Nicolas! (I also love your videos haha, I'm a student in international relations and I want to specialize in East Asia, so your critical perspective is very helpful for learning about Korean society.)”

“I'm making great progress, the update is awesome and the errors are very well addressed. It's a great platform for learning, I advance at my own pace and I know what I need to focus on in my learning! I will get the lifetime version in the coming months!”

“I can study at my own pace and revisit lessons that I haven't fully grasped! I have difficulties with Professor Park because she doesn't answer my questions, and the same question asked on ChatGPT works perfectly for me, so I 'pout' at her. Otherwise, well done! Christiane Sur”

“The app is amazing. As someone who wants to become a Korean teacher later, it helps me tremendously to learn Korean! The app is super intuitive! Well done Nicolas for this incredible app!!”

“Overall, it's a very good app, especially for studying. I would just say that it lacks a bit of exercises, like in school textbooks. Otherwise, honestly, I am very satisfied, and the site is very intuitive.”

“I signed up for this platform after subscribing to another one. I continue to work on both, with a slight delay: I discover a new point on one, then I review it on the other. The educational content is generally similar, but the way it's presented is different. I find 'Seonsaengnim' more pleasant, more user-friendly. And as has already been pointed out, Nicolas is very attentive to the feedback from his subscribers and quickly implements improvements. We thus feel like we are participating in the evolution of the platform and can learn in a way that suits us. This naturally makes me want to invest more in my learning. 선생님, 감사합니다.”

“I've been trying to learn Korean for five years. In the meantime, I've tried many apps that all focus on a particular aspect of learning (for example, an app centered on vocabulary). This is the first time I've come across a site/app that offers such comprehensiveness in language learning. Grammar, vocabulary, reading, audio, all presented in both serious (with clear grammar lessons) and fun ways (with word battles to review vocabulary). And I also want to highlight: for someone who loves grammar, it was a joy to see that the lessons, although concise, are still very comprehensive. Constant improvements are being made, the seriousness behind the site is undeniable, and it's a pleasure to learn Korean this way 🥰”

“In my opinion, this app is the best of all for learning Korean. It is intuitive, fun, and very effective in learning the Korean language. Moreover, Nicolas listens to his subscribers and takes their requests into account, which makes it an app that is constantly evolving. Additionally, Nicolas is very responsive in case of bugs. A big thank you to Nicolas for this great app. Can't wait for the mobile version.”

“Great app. Allows you to learn and review as much as needed. An oral component would allow for even more practice.”

“It's a good app for working: that said, is it better when it's free than others? I don't know, I went straight for the paid version. I think one thing that could be added is the ability to quickly validate lessons: I know it's not important for everyone, but I don't like having unfinished lessons so I'm doing all of them and it takes some time x) (Busuu has a feature that resembles this). A quick way to mark lessons as 'completed'. I also regret a bit the use of AI especially for images, but that's just my personal opinion on the matter.”

“This app has really motivated me to be consistent in my Korean learning. The tools provided allow for progress and help work on weaknesses. What I particularly like is that you advance at your own pace, and the app is constantly evolving. I've tried many apps of this kind, and this one remains the best for me because it's comprehensive: learning new words, reading, writing, conversation, etc. There's really everything you need to progress in Korean. Today, I don't really have any excuses 😅. I've even become addicted to this app! 🤪🫠😆”

“Great app, I don't regret it. Our requests for improvements are taken into account 🥰”

“The courses are good, but sometimes I can't load the page and I can't see the entire lesson.”

“Seonsaengnim is truly a great app for learning Korean. The lessons are well-structured and educational, which enhances the understanding of grammar and its memorization. You really feel like you're making progress; by the beginning of level 2, you're able to make short sentences. The app offers plenty of tools for practice, and the format is super convenient: on computer, tablet, or phone (for the geeks who do word battles on the fly 😜). Seonsaengnim is very rich and provides a truly learner-oriented experience without any distractions, and honestly, given the price for lifetime access, it would be a shame to miss out. Finally, kudos to Nicolas, the developer, who does an amazing job. He is very available and responsive to any questions. And soon the mobile version will be absolutely incredible with new features including voice recognition. Thank you and once again, great job Nicolas!”

“Perfection, I can't wait for the app to be released 😊 You are really the GOAT💜💜💜”

“I have a tiger”

“Hello! My name is Sofiane, I am 21 years old. I've always been passionate about Asia, especially South Korea, and I decided to learn Korean after a trip there. I first tried a very well-known app that starts with Duo, but I was disappointed: despite all its resources, it does not live up to its reputation. I ended up giving up. Then I discovered the Togen app, available for free trial. Without much hope, I tried it... and what a surprise! In just a few days, I learned the basic vowels / compound vowels / consonants. It's not easy, but it gave me hope that one day I could speak Korean fluently. I give it 4 stars: the app is excellent for such a small budget, even though there are still a few bugs. I reported several and received a kind response within the hour, with immediate corrections. It's nice to use an app that really listens to its users. Thank you for this incredible gem.”

“A very good app, super fun as well. It really helped me get back into it, and the updates are regular. I don't regret my purchase at all. In terms of quality for the price, it's the best! With this, my life project in Korea makes more sense! There can sometimes be bugs, but they're quickly fixed! If you really want to learn while having fun, go for it!!”

“An app created with care! An intuitive and fun way to learn the Korean language🫰Thank you, Seonsaengnim!”

“Hello, Excellent app, fun, pleasant, and motivating. A big thank you.”

“On the theoretical side, the app is great, the courses are well detailed. It now lacks oral practice for it to be perfect. The new section on the alphabet and writing is awesome.”

“Very good app! I am in a bit of a special context. I am currently doing a research internship in Korea, and before my departure, I didn't know the Korean language at all. I was already following Nicolas's channel, and Seonsaengnim really gave me a boost when I arrived in Korea. The app helped me acquire a good foundation. Today, living in Korea, I no longer use the app, simply because my learning is now happening daily through immersion. However, I know I will return to it to consolidate my knowledge and review certain concepts. The app is very fun, intuitive, and follows a logical progression. The only point that could, in my opinion, be further improved would be to develop the playful aspect of vocabulary learning even more. Thank you to Nicolas for the time and investment he dedicates to the French community in learning the Korean language and culture.”

“A great supplement to my university DU courses. Even better when we can get our speaking corrected 🤗☺️👌🏻🫰🏻”

“I've only just started a few days ago, but it's great. Smooth, fun, simple, and the interface is super clean (no information that overwhelms the learner's vision, which is essential in my opinion). All these elements encourage the desire to learn. The app also provides a glimpse into the culture, which is essential for learning. I love the flashcards, super useful (the word of the day, a small detail but essential for enriching vocabulary daily). So, a big thank you, Nicolas. It's a marvel. Well done. You've done a great job. I don't regret it...”

“This app, honestly, surpasses all the ones I've used before. The teacher who is there to help us allows us to progress at our own pace. Honestly, I don't regret investing in this app. The best part is that the mobile app is in development! So happy. Really, thank you for this excellent work.”

“I just started learning Korean and I'm currently at level 1. Seonsaengnim is the perfect app to get started! The approach is very reassuring for beginners: the interface is clear, the lessons are progressive, and everything is explained in a very simple way. You learn the basics without ever feeling overwhelmed, and it's a real pleasure to practice a little every day. I recommend it 100% for starting off calmly and on solid foundations. Thank you!”

“This app is really good. I've tried several, but none target learning as well. I was eager to see the app to download. Thank you!!”

“As a Jumpspeak user, your app is a great complement to my Korean learning. It's the only French app I know of. I love the reminders and the French-Korean flashcards. Korean-French ones are super useful and save a huge amount of time. The same goes for the phrases. Essential! It greatly facilitates learning. I also love the dictations! Very challenging. I love your app; it helps me progress at my own pace while challenging me. Thank you.”

“I just signed up, awesome! The app is very comprehensive and well-structured. You progress at your own pace, all skills are explored, and I also really appreciate the many interactions (teacher-student, community of learners and enthusiasts of Korean culture). You really feel like you belong to a group that has the same expectations and motivations...”

“I love the interface! It's quite playful and very comprehensive! The lessons are very well done! It's the best app for learning Korean that you can find.”

“The versatility of the app and the variety of tools it contains is enormous: it's truly the perfect app for progressing in learning Korean. The lessons are clear, I can advance at my own pace, without pressure, developing my reading, comprehension, writing, memorization, and soon pronunciation skills. Nicolas (the developer) is super attentive to the quality and constant improvement of the app. As a student, I greatly appreciate being able to give my opinion, make suggestions, and participate in the process. For me, it's the best app for learning Korean in the French-speaking world. I give it 5 stars without the slightest hesitation!”

“For me, who is just starting out, this app is perfect.”

“This app is awesome. Finally, an app that really helps you progress even if you're bad at languages. I've seen it grow, evolve, and it continues to add useful features—not decorative options, but real improvements designed for the members. What I love is that learning progresses naturally: the words come back at the right time, the grammar sticks, and I recognize more and more things in K-dramas and K-pop. I'm even starting to be able to build simple sentences, like ordering a coffee or asking for something—something I could never do with other apps. No other app has ever given me this feeling of unlocking the language. In short, an app that really helps you learn, not just pretend.”

“After testing and abandoning tons of apps, websites, books, etc., I came across this app. Honestly, it's one of the most effective methods for me. The lessons are short enough, the explanations are clear, and the exercises help better integrate the concepts we've just covered. Since I started using Seonsaengnim, I've really progressed in Korean; I can now understand some phrases when I watch dramas! On top of that, the app allows you to schedule a time to work, which I find super practical; it saves me from constantly checking the time to know how long I've spent. The only thing I'm missing a bit are pronunciation exercises integrated into the lessons, but I compensate with the use of another app. In short, even if it lacks this point (for me), it deserves to be much better known. Thank you so much for this app 😁”

“Very good app! I also have Talk Pal AI to get the speaking side and the oral corrections that we don't have here. Well done and keep it up!”

“The best app for learning Korean (and I'm not saying that AT ALL because I developed it).”
