It's the Korean knack for picking up what isn't spelled out: the tone, the pause, the look. That's what we want Nunchi to teach.

Questions

Still stuck? Email nunchilang@gmail.com.

Is Nunchi on iPhone?

Android comes first, iPhone after. Join the waitlist either way so we know you're waiting.

Do I need to know Hangul?

No. The Hangul intro teaches it, at whatever pace you pick. Romanization stays on until you switch it off.

Where do the clips come from?

Public videos from Korean YouTube channels, played in YouTube's own player. Nunchi adds the transcript, explanations and reviews around them.

When can I try it?

Beta testers from the waitlist get in first. Public launch is planned for January 2027.
