Korean practice from your actual life
OwnWords is for Korean learners who want practice to feel less random. Instead of studying only preset example sentences, you can write a small diary entry in English and turn it into natural Korean you can review.
The app helps you build a personal vocabulary list from the topics you already care about: your day, your plans, food, travel, feelings, work, friends, shows, hobbies, and the little moments that are hard to find in a textbook.

- Turning English diary entries into Korean practice
