How mobile technologies facilitate my learning
With the rapid pace of the advent of new mobile technologies, there is more functional application being invented for the use of education. We can check up for information of words that we do not understand, and also the knowledge that we are interested to get eye to. Besides of learning Chinese and English, it is useful for us to use these applications to learn Korean or other foreign languages.

The definition of the word is more accurate than google translate as this application is specifically designed for those who learn Korean.

I found it really useful when listening to it every day.
Like other dictionaries, after entering the word in English, you can find the Korean words and also some examples, to teach you how to use the vocabulary. At the same time, you can also enter Korean letters to get the Chinese meaning, which is also useful for us to learn Korean.
