How it works

Tell us why you're learning

Your tutor calibrates to your goal: travel, relocation, work, or connecting with people.

Pick a scene, step in

Choose from 29 Korean situations or describe your own. Your AI scene partner plays their role — in Korean, in character.

Debrief, then go again

Your coach debriefs in your language, highlights what worked, and suggests what to try next.

Meet your scene partners

Each partner has a backstory, a personality, and a memory. They speak only Korean — your tutor handles the coaching in your language.

Why it works

Common questions

Do I need to speak any Korean to start?

No. Your tutor assesses your level in the first session and picks a scene that matches where you are — starting with short, simple exchanges if you're a beginner.

What's the difference between the coach and a scene partner?

The coach is your guide — they speak your language, explain grammar, give feedback, and choose the next scene. Scene partners are immersive — they stay in character and respond only in Korean, exactly as a real person would.

Can I practice a specific conversation I need to have?

Yes. Describe the situation to your coach — a job interview, a meeting with your landlord, a doctor's appointment — and they'll set up a custom scene for you.

How much does it cost?

Epivo is free to start — 30 minutes of tutoring per day with no credit card required. Paid plans from $20/month unlock more daily session time. See Plans & Pricing.

What's the difference between Epivo and just asking ChatGPT?

ChatGPT doesn't remember what you practiced last week, doesn't have a persistent scene partner who knows your name, and gives you grammar corrections when what you need is conversation practice. Epivo builds a relationship over time — with a coach who tracks your progress and scene partners who pick up where you left off.
