Dotori Learn Hangul

In 1446 King Sejong's scholars published the Hunminjeongeum Haerye, a book that says why each Korean letter looks the way it does. Follow that book from the shape of the first letters to reading real words.
Features
Six short steps
The story of Hangul; five basic consonants; adding strokes; vowels built from heaven, earth and human; building syllable blocks; and reading real words. Every step is open from the start and ends with a short quiz; a mixed review draws from all six.
Shapes, strokes and sounds
Animations turn the tongue, mouth, teeth or throat into the letter drawn from it. Every letter has a stroke-order animation and a tracing pad, which shows how to write without grading it. Letter and word sounds are bundled and play offline.
Sources and six languages
Quotes from the original Classical Chinese text come with a translation, with links to the institutions that keep its record and to the Basic Korean Dictionary. Choose English, Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese or Spanish explanations.

Requirements
Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer. Lessons and sounds are bundled with the app. Advertising, privacy options and your device's text-to-speech engine may need a connection. Free with banner advertising.
The letter and word sounds are synthesized speech prepared in advance, not recordings of a native speaker. The animations follow the Haerye's description of the letter shapes, while pronunciation notes follow modern standard Korean; where the two differ, the app says so.
An independent app, not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency or the institutions it links to.
Privacy
Quiz scores and settings stay on your device; Android backup may keep a copy. What you draw on the tracing pad is not saved. Google handles banner advertising and consent services. Read the app-specific policy for details.
