한국어

Korean for kids, in your family’s voice

For families from Korea raising children who will grow up speaking another language at school. Maata teaches the Korean your family uses at home — and your child hears it from you, their grandparents and the people they love.

What your child will say

About 230 everyday words and phrases in 31 topics: greetings, family, food, feelings, getting ready, numbers, colours and more.

Little talks in Korean

Short two-person conversations. Your child listens first, then says their part while a family voice answers.

• Halmeoni calls — Halmeoni calls you on the phone.
• What's your name? — Harabeoji's friend meets you.
• At the table — Eomma is serving dinner.
• Let's play — Hyeong wants to play.
• What happened? — You fell down. Appa runs over.
• Bedtime — It's late, and Eomma says it's time for bed.
• Can I help? — Appa is carrying the shopping in.
• School morning — Eomma wakes you up for school.

In your family’s voice

• Record any word once — your child hears you in every lesson.
• Grandparents abroad install Maata free, record, and send their voice by WhatsApp.
• Add your family’s own words: pet names, family dishes, the things grandma always says.

We wrote these words carefully for everyday family talk, and native-speaking parents are checking them now. If your family says something differently, tap the word to fix it and record it your way.
