Why Sori exists
For years I designed language curriculum in Korea — coaching native teachers, reviewing thousands of lesson plans, and building the bridge lessons learners kept slipping through the cracks without. My work was never about drilling a textbook; it was redesigning how teachers teach, so the language actually clicked — lessons students could use, not just memorize.
Then my own daughter grew up abroad. She could speak Korean, but couldn't read a word of it. No system existed for learners like her. So I built one.
— Seoyeon, founder of Sori
Same letter ㄱ · same 'g' · different shape
"These start with the same letter — so why don't they look the same?" A learner asked me that. I'd never noticed. That one question rebuilt how I teach — from the learner's eye, not a Korean's. It's why every Sori book builds in handwriting practice: so the shapes become yours, not a riddle.
Sound First
See the sound before you say it.
Korean begins with your ears and your mouth — not the page. That's why every SORI book is built around 2,000+ clips of native Korean pronunciation: you listen first, shape the sound, then read.
아
어
오
우
으한 소리, 한 입 모양 — the real shape of every Korean vowel.
