About Chamelingo

We kept forgetting Korean no matter how hard we studied. So we turned it into a game we couldn't put down.

The Mission

Make Korean stick without a private tutor, a stack of textbooks, or sheer willpower. A structured course from Hangul to real conversation answers "what do I study next." Review schedules the words you forget so practice becomes automatic.

We also publish a free grammar reference and vocabulary browser with 48 core curriculum grammar lessons and 100+ vocabulary items, no account required.

Who builds Chamelingo

Chamelingo is built by a small independent team focused entirely on making Korean practice better. Erik Claesson, a Korean learner and software engineer, started the product and still builds it under the Chamelingo name.

Our Rules

Studying should feel like playing

Streaks, XP, and optional pressure practice—if it keeps you coming back to the course, we keep it in. You learn more when it does not feel like work.

Free is the reference

Look up Hangul, grammar, vocabulary, and tools without an account. Pro is the learning system: it tells you what to study today, saves progress, reviews automatically, and gets you speaking as you move through the course.

Memory over speed

We would rather you remember 50 words perfectly than speed through 200. Spaced review and varied drills optimize for long-term retention.

Better with friends

Discord community, optional practice with friends, referral rewards. Korean is more fun when someone else is learning it with you.

How Chamelingo helps you practice

A structured course, review that sticks, and speaking help when you need it.

Structured Curriculum체계적 커리큘럼

Hangul to intermediate conversation. Each unit builds on the last with clear goals, clear progress, and no random lessons.

Review that sticks간격 반복

Spaced repetition tracks every word and brings it back right before it slips out of memory. You can also import vocabulary from Anki or CSV.

Speaking help on the path경로 위 말하기 도움

Stuck on a grammar point mid-lesson? Get help inside the course path—answers in real time, at your level, with pronunciation feedback when you need it.

Optional pressure practice선택 압박 연습

Optional timed practice on what you already studied when you want stakes. Supports the course path—it is not a separate product.
