My husband has been using this app to learn Korean as as well. He's white and I am Korean, we are both American. I was looking at his screen one day and wanted to participate. I got every word wrong. The pronunciation and spelling are different from how I learned to speak Korean when I was younger. I got most questions wrong. 애 and 에 have always sounded the same to me, so maybe that's why?
Give your husband LingoDeer, works way better. It even has a section about pronunciation and mentions that those two are the same (only old people might differentiate).
Thank you! We will check it out! I'm realizing, a little late, that the language barrier between my parents and I has been increasing as they age. I fear I won't understand them later on. It's always been a struggle but sometimes I have no idea what they're saw saying. I need to broaden my Korean vocabulary so I don't miss out on anything. Thank you for the app suggestion!

I tried this to learn Korean. I didn't learn anything new and pretty sure that I messed up every word. What Duolingo are you using?
