That process looks like this:\n\n1. **Parse** → Select a video on Netflix, Disney+, Viki, or YouTube with the Migaku Browser Extension enabled. Migaku will make the subtitles interactive and predict how difficult your show will be, given the amount of Korean words you currently know.\n2. **Look up** → Enjoy the show! When you come across unknown words in the subtitles, click on them. Migaku will show you what they mean and how natives pronounce them. If you don’t understand the line of dialogue, Migaku can translate it and provide an AI breakdown for you..\n3. **Flashcards** → If you decide you want to learn a word, you can make a flashcard out of it with just one click. Flashcards created in Migaku contain the selected word, the sentence it appears in, a recording of a native speaker saying the word, the dialogue’s audio snippet from your show, and a screenshot from your show.\n4. **Review** → Migaku will keep track of how well you remember each word. With this information, we’ll prepare a custom learning schedule, taking into account your performance with each word. We’ll periodically nudge you to review—and, before long, you’ll remember the word.\n\n\u003C\u002Faccordion>\n\n\u003Caccordion heading=\"Does Migaku teach Hangul and Korean fundamentals for beginners?\">\n\nYes, Migaku offers comprehensive Korean fundamentals courses perfect for absolute beginners! We currently offer two Korean courses:\n\n- **Migaku Korean Fundamentals** → Learn how to read each hangul (the Korean alphabet), how to correctly pronounce each sound in Korean, and the various situations in which hangul undergo shifts in pronunciation; includes many videos and audio recordings from native Korean speakers\n- **Migaku Korean Academy** → Learn the most common ~1,300 vocabulary words and over 330 common Korean grammatical structures\n\n\u003C\u002Faccordion>\n\n\u003Caccordion heading=\"How does Migaku's OCR tool help with learning Korean in daily life?\">\n\nMigaku's innovative OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool turns everyday moments into Korean learning opportunities. You can capture text from K-pop album covers, Korean restaurant menus, street signs, packaging, or even Korean webtoons and instantly convert them into learning material.\n\nThe OCR feature is built directly into Migaku’s iOS and Android app, so this feature is particularly useful for those who who regularly encounter Korean text in their daily life—or those who are learning with a physical textbook but would like to make digital learning resources.\n\n\u003C\u002Faccordion>\n\n\u003Caccordion heading=\"Can Migaku help me understand Korean webtoons and Korean literature?\">\n\nThe Migaku Chrome Browser Extension does not currently have an OCR feature, and the Migaku iOS\u002FAndroid app does not yet have the ability to detect text in images and web pages.\n\nHaving said this, Korean Webtoons can be read with Migaku like this:\n\n1. Obtain a desktop-based OCR software, such as TextSniper for Mac or PowerToys for Windows\n2. Open two web browsers: your webtoon on the left half of your screen, the Migaku Clipboard on the right side of your screen (Chrome Toolbar → Migaku Extension → Clipboard)\n3. Use the OCR software to scan speech bubbles in your webtoon\n4. Migaku will automatically detect that your system clipboard has updated, then paste your system clipboard contents into the Migaku Clipboard\n\nWith this workflow, words in webtoons can be looked up in roughly a second.\n\n\u003C\u002Faccordion>\n\n\u003Caccordion heading=\"How does Migaku compare to traditional Korean learning methods like Duolingo?\">\n\nMost apps on the market are for language learning hobbyists—people who are interested in learning Korean, but don’t really have any pressing need to actually do so. Traditional apps focus on accessibility, enabling anyone and everyone to pick up bits and pieces of Korean.\n\nMost apps stop there, and most learners never learn more than “bits and pieces” of Korean.\nMigaku is not like those apps.\n\nMigaku’s target audience are people who really want to learn Korean—people who aren’t content to know just “annyeong haseyo” or “sarang haeyo”.\n\nDepending on where you’re currently at:\n\n- **Beginners** → If you know no Korean, you can start with our courses, discussed in FAQ #2. Our data-driven courses teach the specific words and grammar points you need to know to begin exploring real Korean media. At a pace of 10 flashcards per day, going from “zero Korean” to “approaching intermediate” takes about 6 months with Migaku.\n- **Intermediate** → Migaku’s toolset will function as training wheels. Watch k-dramas, read webtoons, listen to K-pop, browse social media, and generally do whatever you enjoy doing. With the ability to immediately look up words and translate sentences, you’ll be surprised at how independently you can navigate Korean content.\n- **Advanced** → Even though you no longer need support in Korean, Migaku will make your life easier. Look up those random new words without changing tabs, and make flashcards of useful looking words in less than a second.\n\nWith Migaku’s immersion approach, you’ll make real Korean progress by learning with real Korean media. It’s much more effective than a dry textbook you open twice a week at Korean class.\n\n\u003C\u002Faccordion>\n\n\u003Caccordion heading=\"What makes Migaku's Korean course different from other Korean learning apps?\">\n\nWe won’t name names, but most Korean courses on the internet—even the quite popular ones—are sort of a pain to navigate.
