How many letters are in the Korean alphabet?
Hangul has 24 letters. It was designed in 1443 and built to be learned in just a few days, according to the National Institute of Korean Language.
Why is everyone learning Korean right now?
The Duolingo Language Report 2025 ranks Korean as the #6 most-studied language in the world. It also names Korean among the top 3 fastest-growing languages, alongside Chinese and Portuguese. The report does not explain why interest is rising.
What KoreanDaily says it offers
KoreanDaily is built around real situations — greetings, work, the doctor, the apartment, the bank — with listen-and-speak drills and spaced repetition. Unit 1 teaches you to read Hangul. There's no account, no ads, and no hearts, according to the material.
Is KoreanDaily actually free?
The material is inconsistent here. It describes the app as "free," but the pricing information lists two paid plans: $4.99 and $29. There's no free tier in that pricing list, and the material doesn't say whether text you paste into the app is stored. Confirm current pricing and privacy details directly on the site before you sign up.
What we don't know
- How long it takes to learn Korean grammar or vocabulary beyond the alphabet.
- Why Korean, Chinese, and Portuguese are growing fastest.
- Whether text you paste into KoreanDaily is stored.
- Which pricing plan — if any — is actually current.
