Clear limits make the program more useful.

Study on Board is a focused Hangul reading path for travel-time learning. It is designed to start the reading journey, not to promise full Korean fluency.

Not a fluency guaranteeIt does not claim that every learner will master Korean during one flight. The promise is a first real Hangul reading attempt.
Not grammar-heavyIt begins with sounds, letters, syllables, and useful reading awareness.
Not one fixed fileMaterials are selected after checking the learner’s situation and purpose.
Not one study styleApps, textbooks, flashcards, and guides can be combined by preference.
For Specific Learner Groups
