Hello everyone, this is admin Sung. Today, I’m going to introduce you popular apps related to studying.
1. Qanda 콴다
Qanda is a five-second-long app. If you have a problem you don’t know while solving the problem, turn on the Qanda app and take a picture. At this time, there is no sound when filming. This is quite useful when you are at quiet reading room or library. Then, within five seconds, similar types of questions can be drawn up so you can think of those. You can ask directly using ‘question mark’ if they are still not solved. One out of 11,000 teachers from prestigious universities is matched to solve the problem, and answers to the problem are given within three minutes. Questions are available 24 hours a day, and all subjects are available in elementary, middle, and high schools. This is centrally a math-solving app using AI. When you study math, there might be a mathematical problem or a partial question which requires some explanation from a teacher. However, if it is late at night, or for students who do not go to academy, students would have trouble studying math efficiently. For those who need a math teacher at any time, this app helps them to be able to get mathematical explanation.
1) Take a picture 2) Read explanation 3) Get similar type of question
2. Yeol-pum-ta 열품타
The name of this app is actually abbreviation of 열정 품은 타이머, which means ‘passionate timer’ in Korean. This is a timer that measures study time, which is also useful for group studies. It is a study timer app that allows students to join several groups and compare study time with group members in the group. If you study alone, you sometimes might want to give up or take a break. But you can continue studying because you are motivated with this.
The most important feature is the timer function. You can measure study time with this function. You can see how much you studied for a week or a month at a glance. 0-4 hours, 4 to 7 hours, 7 to 10 hours, and more than 10 hours are marked in color. After a day’s use, study planners for the day are automatically created to reduce time waste. If you join a study group, you can share your study time with the members of the group. Many people say that this function motivates them not to give up. There is also a way to turn on the camera and study with an unspecified number of people on the app for smoother concentration. It’s also a mobile-optimized function.
Some reading and listening resources for you, my Korean studying friends :) Please also recommend me any resources you use, especially apps, I’m hungry for Korean resources!
“Relationship tips and psychology tests.” Articles introducing research studies on relationships, sex, breakups etc. in very easy-to-read language and with cute illustrations.
Language posts about any interesting grammar points/expressions/words that pop up in Humans of Seoul interviews. The Humans of Seoul page itself is also really good for reading practice.
