Korean Dictionary Apps

Following up from my post about basic Korean phrases, I’m now looking for some form of Korean dictionary app for my phone.

Is there anything like Pleco for Chinese learners? This is probably one of the most valuable language learning apps I ever downloaded and I’d love a similar one in Korean.

Would hugely appreciate any help :slight_smile:

I have never found a Korean Pleco :smiling_face_with_tear: if anyone knows an app i would be interested too!

I have always used Papago, which is a translator recommended by a Korean friend, and so far it has worked really well - https://papago.naver.com/

You can try Naver Dictionary! They have in a lot of different languages, and really good translation! They also have idioms and examples too :slight_smile:

Naver / papago is good.
I also really enjoyed using the learner’s dictionary from the National Institute: https://krdict.korean.go.kr/eng/mainAction

Thanks for sharing the link, Derek. Will check it out.

On the Korean page of my iPhone I added a super useful Papago Translate widget which gives you a useful phrase every few hours.

I’m really enjoying using it to get used to sentence structure and learn new vocab on the go.

Awesome feature! Nice way to passively review useful phrases

wooow that’s nice!! I know nothing about widget, is it because you downloaded the app and now it is available in the widget section of the iphone?

Yea I got the app when coming to Korea and had a look at what widgets I could add.

This one seemed particularly useful :slight_smile:
