WHAT IT IS
A vocabulary you can hear, in a form you can reach for.
Most beginner Korean material gives you words on a page and leaves the sound to you. Fireside Korea records all of it — every headword, every example sentence — so the word arrives in your ear before you ever have to produce it. The whole set is 423 words, chosen for how often a beginner actually needs them, and grouped into 18 short units.
Tap to hear
Every headword and every example sentence has audio. One tap, no scrubbing through a lesson to find the word you wanted.
Works offline
The audio lives on your device. On a plane, on the subway, in a lift — it plays without a connection.
Polite and plain forms
Where a word has an honorific partner — 집 and 댁, 먹다 and 드시다 — you get both. Most beginner courses postpone this. This one doesn't.
