How it works
Enable the extension on a site you read. It highlights useful words in the article, not a separate lesson window. Hover a highlight to see the meaning. Chrome itself stays in English.
The loop is short on purpose:
- Useful words get a highlight after Hangul is segmented.
- Hover (or tap the highlight) for the translation.
- Keep reading. The page does not become a worksheet.
Coverage is a slider, not a promise that every token will change.
Hangul is easy; the page is not
Most English speakers can learn the alphabet in a sitting. Then a Naver article or a product review uses particles (은/는, 이/가, 을/를, 에, 에서) that class treated as a chart, and spacing that follows Korean morphology rather than English wordhood. 먹을 수 있어요 is several decisions, not one vocabulary item.
The extension segments Hangul so a highlight can land on a word instead of a syllable block. That is the unglamorous work of reading Korean on the open web. It will not be perfect on every slang mash-up or proper name.
Honorifics and speech levels shift between a news lede, a brand blog, and a comment thread. You will see those forms. You will not get a lecture on -습니다 vs. -아/어요. The point is to keep reading the page you already opened.
English ↔ Korean is live
English → Korean and Korean → English are both in the language picker. All 12 languages work with English. Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic are bidirectional (EN↔). Hebrew is English → Hebrew.
What this is not
It is not a course, a streak, or a classroom. It does not replace a tutor, and it does not claim to teach handwriting. It is a reading overlay for people who already spend time in the browser.
Questions
I can read Hangul. Is this still useful?
Yes. Decoding the alphabet is the short part. Particles, spacing, and vocabulary on a real page are the long part. The extension marks useful words after it segments the line.
Can I read a Korean page and see English?
Yes. English → Korean and Korean → English are both in the picker. An English page can show Korean; a Korean page can show English.
Does it teach honorifics?
It shows the form on the page. News, blogs, and comments use different speech levels. The hover is a meaning, not a politeness lesson.
