English → Korean
Start with a clear, polite version you can safely use. Then compare natural local speech when the relationship and situation make it appropriate.
Open the speaking lessonsGrammar differences that matter
Korean usually places the verb near the end. Particles mark roles, subjects or objects can be omitted when context is clear, and speech level changes endings and vocabulary. Start with the polite -요 style.
Culture, politeness & local speech
Korean politeness is built into endings, honorific vocabulary and titles. Start with -요 forms for strangers and everyday service situations. Casual 반말 is for appropriate close relationships, not a universal “local” shortcut.

Four speeds, right beside the phrase
Each lesson phrase has Neutral, Slow, Slower and Slowest playback beside it. Press the same choice again whenever you want to hear the phrase again; no separate repeat control is needed.
When reviewed WhyLazy recordings are available, each speed can use a separately produced teaching performance. Until then, WhyLazy prefers the best native voice on the device and never substitutes another language.
