르 irregulars pick up an extra ㄹ and vowel harmony: 모르다 → 몰라요.
High-frequency: 모르다, 빠르다, 다르다, 오르다, 가르다…
One of the first irregulars intermediate learners must automate.
Conjugation tools help, but speaking speed needs drills.

After you can produce the form, open related Chamelingo pages (vocabulary, conjugator, particles) so the pattern connects to words you actually study.
