How it works

One moment.
One connected lesson.

This walkthrough explains what a learner sees. It does not promise a fixed processing order or speed.

  1. 01

    Write

    Start with something that actually happened.

    Write the moment in English. The complete public-safe example stays together as one Story.

    Your Diary

    1. Yesterday I missed my usual bus, so I walked along the river before work.
    2. I bought a warm drink at a small cafe and wrote down three things I wanted to finish.
    3. In the evening, I prepared dinner, called my younger sister, and went to bed earlier than usual.

    Picture

    See the moment, not just the sentence.

    A matching Cartoon Diary image gives the moment a visual place in memory.

    Cartoon Diary

    A single-page Cartoon Diary with three Korean diary bubbles, following a woman who misses her bus, walks beside a river, writes three tasks over a warm cafe drink, prepares dinner, calls her younger sister, and goes to bed early.

    A Cartoon Diary generated from this walkthrough's three Korean diary sentences.

  3. 03

    Korean Story

    Read the same moment in Korean.

    The three sentences remain in order so you can move between what you wrote and what you are learning.

    Your Korean Story

    1. 어제 평소에 타던 버스를 놓쳐서 출근 전에 강을 따라 걸었어요.
    2. 작은 카페에서 따뜻한 음료를 사서 끝내고 싶었던 일 세 가지를 적었어요.
    3. 저녁에는 식사를 준비하고, 여동생에게 전화한 뒤, 평소보다 일찍 잠자리에 들었어요.

    Haru marks -아/어서 and -어요, with frequent forms folded into a quieter list.
