Tipword
Most learners hit the same wall: the course is fine, but real Korean, in news, chats and shows, is full of words you haven’t met. Looking each one up breaks your flow, so you stop reading. The fix is to make looking up a word take one second.
Read what you already read, in Korean
Switch one daily habit to Korean: the news you check in the morning, a recipe blog, a series with Korean subtitles. Pick something you’d read anyway, so you keep coming back.
Look words up without leaving the page
With Tipword, hold ⌥ Option and point at a word. Its English meaning appears right beside it, then goes away. No typing, no new tab, so you keep reading in Korean.
Learn from the shows you love
K-dramas and variety shows are why many people start Korean. Watch with Korean subtitles, and when a word stops you, pause and point at it. Korean words carry endings like 가 and 요, and the meaning shows for the word as you see it.
Questions
Is Korean free?
Yes, on macOS 15 or later: Korean translates on your Mac with Apple, so there’s no key and nothing extra to pay.
Does it work with K-drama subtitles?
Yes. Pause the video, hold ⌥ and point at the word in the subtitle.
