Why speak Korean?
Korean has gone global on the back of music, film and food. Reading it is quick to learn, but speaking is where fluency is really won.
- Ride the global Korean wave
- Hangul is easy, speaking takes reps

Questions, answered
Do I need to read Hangul first?
It helps, but it is not required. You can practise speaking Korean with romanised prompts and pick up Hangul alongside.
Do I need to know any Korean already?
No, you can start as a complete beginner. Mira speaks slowly, keeps things simple, and can help in English when you are stuck, then raises the difficulty as you improve.
How is this different from a language app?
Apps build vocabulary but rarely make you speak in real time. Mira is a live phone conversation, so you practise understanding and speaking Korean together, which is what real conversations demand.
