은/는 vs 이/가
A distinction
Grammar
For learners refining accuracy and nuance.
Work through particles, speech levels, honorifics and the distinctions that change what a sentence means.
20 modules
The tracks are starting points rather than a fixed order. Nothing is locked behind a placement test, and you can move between tracks as your Korean develops.
How it works
Learn, practise, review, and see where you are.
The same four stages run through every track. What changes is the material and the kind of practice the track calls for.
-
Learn
Each module opens with a focused explanation, worked examples and lesson material for the point you are studying.
-
Practise
Work through varied activities rather than one repeated question format, with feedback on the option you chose.
-
Review
Completed material returns for review when it becomes due, so recall is tested rather than recognition alone.
-
Progress
See how far through a module you are, what is due, and which areas are worth more attention next.
Activity formats include character choice, listening, syllable building, sentence building, guided writing, multiple choice and multi-select. Not every format appears in every track.

Object and verb, without needing to choose a particle yet.
You are introducing yourself at a study group.
저 이번 학기에는 한국에서 공부해요.
은/는
이/가
In an introduction, 은/는 frames you as the topic, and the rest of the sentence adds information about you.
Review queue
Completed exercises come back when they are due, so you recall rather than recognise.
Module progress
Every module shows how many exercises you have finished and what remains.
What to work on
Your dashboard highlights what is due and the areas worth more attention.
Why it helps
Built around understanding, then recall.
Explanations you can act on
Modules explain the point being taught with worked examples, and feedback responds to the option you actually chose.
Practice that varies
Reading, listening, building syllables and sentences, writing and choosing between close alternatives.
Distinctions that matter
Korean often turns on a choice between two near neighbours. Those choices are taught directly rather than left to guesswork.
Review built on recall
Material you have completed returns for review when it is due, and what you find harder comes back sooner.
Guidance, not a fixed path
KoreanLab suggests what to work on next. Choosing a different track or module is always available.
Help linked to the exercise
Where it is available, you can ask for help on the exercise in front of you, within that module's access.
