What it is
Yeoni speaks slowly and simply in Korean about everyday subjects, in episodes short enough to relisten two or three times — which is how listening at this level actually improves. It sits at the level right after TTMIK's Iyagi and before anything made for natives. The catalogue is small and publishing is irregular, so treat it as a supplement rather than a backbone. Free, with no transcripts in the feed itself.
Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All Korean podcasts →
