Getting started

up103 turns your own Korean study notes into listening practice: you log what you studied, the app tracks the grammar you’ve covered, writes a short Korean text you can somewhat understand, speaks it, and brings it back for review on a spaced schedule. Here’s your first session, start to finish.

1. Sign in

Go to app.up103.com and enter your email. You’ll get a magic link — no password to remember. Clicking the link signs you in.

2. Set your starting level

The first time you sign in, the app shows you Korean sentences and asks which ones you can mostly read. This tells the app where you are, so the texts it writes for you use grammar you’ve actually seen. Don’t overthink it — a rough answer is enough. You can fine-tune your grammar on your Profile anytime, and every session you log keeps it up to date.

3. Log a study session

On Today, tap Log study and add what you studied. Photographing your handwritten notes is the featured path — just snap the page — but typed notes work too. The app reads your notes, summarizes them, and updates your grammar profile with what they cover.

4. Create your first passage

On Learn, use Create input: pick a situation or topic, and the app writes a short Korean text built from the grammar you’ve covered and generates audio for it. Tap Add to review on a passage to put it in your review queue. It shows up for review from the next day.

5. Review

On Review, tap Start review. Listen first and try to follow. Then tap Check meaning to see the Korean text and the translation, and answer honestly: could you follow what was said? Yes sends the passage further out; Not yet brings it back sooner.

That’s the loop. Keep logging sessions as you study, and create new passages whenever you want fresh listening material — they grow with what you’ve learned.
