Biographies

Real lives, in their own words — a different kind of story.

Public-domain memoirs and autobiographies, retold as graded readers: real people, in their own voice, telling the moments that mattered most. Same sentence-by-sentence Korean translation, audio narration, vocabulary and comprehension check as every other lesson.
