70-80% of Korean words are based on Chinese words. By learning the sound and Hangeul spelling of Chinese roots you can increase your Korean vocabulary. Using this app you can look up any word or character in English, Chinese or Korean and see all related words.
Thank you Dan !
This is what I’ve always been waiting for! Easy one stop shop to search for Hanja
Great App
The app itself is a great start and really does help looking for Hanja. A couple of things I noticed 1. The app shouldn’t start with a predetermined search as the Home Screen. Maybe a an example search at the bottom would be better but it makes the back bottom look useless 2. Try adding throttle searching where after an initial hangeul part is written, it searches and returns based of what is currently in the search bar (like Google does) 3. (This is more personal/educative) as someone who has studied both Japanese and Mandarin, I think you have a good blend of Sino/Japa-Korean mixture in the search as well as plain hanja! Just add more because the pool seems pretty small for the generic words such as 이귝 (Which would be 離陸ー ririku in Japanese, I lyuk in Korean) or 창백 (蒼白 — cāng bâi in Mandarin, chang baeg in Korean) Overall it’s definitely a great app and look for to using it!
Crude but Creative
The app provides hyperlinks between words with similar hanja. It’s great for seeing examples of how hanja are used. However it needs more search functionality to really be useful
