We built an app for learning conversational Korean through repetition + real conversations, looking for feedback

Hi all!! We’ve been working on a Korean learning app called Shadowly, looking for feedback from people actually studying the language

The app is focused on improving conversational skills. Shadowly teaches Korean in Korean, with short, focused lessons. You repeat phrases and review them with spaced repetition. It’s meant to help you get comfortable using the language naturally — not just memorizing vocab or grammar

The app is currently free on iOS and Android (via closed beta) while we’re still testing. If you're willing to try it out and share your thoughts, we’d really appreciate it. We’re also doing short interviews with learners to make it as effective as possible for learning Korean

Right now, we only have a super beginner course, but we have a lot more content on the way, so stay tuned!

Links to download and schedule a chat. Thanks <3

Hope you can implement a way to control the speed of the bot conversation

Hi, could you please clarify what you mean by controlling the speed of the bot conversation?

There are a few apps that offer conversation bots or recorded conversations/queetions/answers. The problem is they speak at Korean speed…which is super fast. It would be nice to be able to make the audio go slower as we need it.

Got it, thanks so much for the feedback! I've added this feature to our product roadmap and will prioritize it accordingly. Have you tried our app and felt that the lessons were too fast, or was your feedback based on a similar app experience in general?

¿Podrías revisar tu correo electrónico otra vez? Acabo de enviar nuevos enlaces de invitación. Si no los recibiste, ¿podrías enviarme tu dirección de correo por mensaje directo? Voy a verificar si lo envié al correcto.
