The KSIF, Integrated Korean Learning App ‘Mobile KSI’ to be released in May

> From a single app, level-specific learning of Korean vocabulary, grammar, and conversation is possible

> In May, available for free download from Google Play Store and App Store

In May, the integrated learning app ‘Mobile King Sejong Institute’ by the King Sejong Institute Foundation(President Lee Hai-young, hereafter referred to as the KSIF) is scheduled for release. The KSIF has integrated its previously separate apps for vocabulary, grammar, and conversation into one, allowing users to learn everything from Korean vocabulary to conversation through a single app.

The ‘Mobile KSI’ is an app developed based on the textbook, designed to facilitate learning all aspects of the Korean language as if attending classes at the King Sejong Institute.

In January, the KSIF conducted a ‘KSI App Naming Contest’ targeting the general public both domestically and internationally, receiving a total of 1,005 app name submissions. Considering the appropriateness to the purpose of the app, popularity, symbolism, and originality, the KSIF selected one grand prize winner, one first prize winner, and twenty participation prizes, and ultimately decided on the name ‘Mobile KSI’ for the app, inspired by the grand prize-winning entry.

The app also includes a role-playing feature that allows users to practice conversation by simulating real one-on-one dialogue situations. Users can receive feedback on their pronunciation and independently tackle various types of practice questions such as drawing lines, listening and choosing, and true/false questions, enabling repetitive learning.

In the future, users of the ‘Mobile KSI’ app will be able to select courses that match their Korean language proficiency from beginner to intermediate levels. The KSIF plans to further expand the app's content by adding advanced levels.
