🏫 What is Say Global English?
It's an online English school built on 26 years of know-how (founded in 2000) from Huston Academy in Busan. Here's the heart of it in one sentence — "Don't memorize a foreign language; absorb it the way you learned your mother tongue."
- ✦How we acquire a first language: just like a baby learns Korean, you listen a lot → repeat out loud → and practice in fun ways. Instead of memorizing words, you let English settle into your mouth and ears.
- ✦Unlimited 1:1 conversation with 6 AI teachers: it's okay to make mistakes. Speaking English a little every day is what builds real skill.
- ✦A 5-step pyramid: Intro (alphabet & phonics) → BS (basic words & sentences) → IS (intermediate sentences) → Prime (advanced) → International (original books & test prep). Start right where you are.
- ✦Support in 8 languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish, Thai, and Indonesian. You learn English while reading the explanations in your own language.
- ✦Fun is the key: through games, dubbing, and read-aloud, we make learning you'll want to come back to. Because if it isn't fun, you won't stick with it.
⏱️ Study this way and you'll improve fastest (15–30 minutes a day)
A little every day beats a lot all at once. Repeat the cycle of "listen → repeat → speak → review" every single day.
- ① First time only: take the level test to find your starting point.
- ② Today's lesson: watch one lesson from a course and enter the expressions you'll learn today.
- ③ Make it yours by speaking: use read-aloud and dubbing to listen to the audio and repeat after it (this matters most!).
- ④ Put it to use: practice today's expressions out loud in AI conversation.
- ⑤ Fun review: use word games to practice recalling the words you learned today.
- ⑥ Build it up: repeat again the next day — those small daily gains add up to real fluency in the end.
📋 How to use each feature (what, why, and how)
🎯Level Test — Your First Step
Starting at the level that fits you keeps you from burning out and helps you improve fast. Too easy is boring; too hard makes you give up.
- 1.Tap the "Free Level Test" button on the home screen.
- 2.Have a free, easy chat in English with the AI teacher (short is totally fine).
- 3.While you talk, the AI evaluates your grammar, vocabulary, and fluency to recommend your level.
- 4.Just start with the course that matches your recommended level.
💡 Don't try to speak perfectly — just talk comfortably with the words you know. That gives a more accurate reading.
Take the Level Test on Home →📚Courses & Lessons
With structure, you never lose your way. Just climb the 5-step pyramid one rung at a time.
- 1.Pick the course for your level from the "Course List."
- 2.Try a free lesson first to get a taste (zero pressure).
- 3.Watch the lesson video and expressions, then read them aloud.
- 4.Check "My Learning" to see your progress and records adding up.
💡 One lesson a day is plenty. Daily matters more than a lot at once.
Browse Courses →🎬Read-Aloud & Dubbing Homework
English isn't read with your eyes — it opens up through your mouth. Speaking along with real audio is the fastest path there.
- 1.In "Dubbing," tap "🎬 Real Read-Aloud Audio Dubbing."
- 2.When a picture book and real audio appear, listen line by line and read along.
- 3.Tap 🎙️ Record and read aloud in your own voice.
- 4.Enter your name and class, then tap "Submit Homework" to send it to your teacher.
- 5.Your teacher's comments (pronunciation, intonation, pace) show up at the top of the same screen.
💡 Try to mimic the exact pace and intonation of the audio. Shadowing (copying along) changes your pronunciation the fastest.
Start Read-Aloud Dubbing →💬AI Conversation
Expressions only become yours once you actually use them. English feels embarrassing in front of people, but in front of the AI you can make mistakes all you want.
- 1.Go into "AI Conversation."
- 2.Start a 1:1 chat in English with the AI teacher.
- 3.Make a point of using the expressions you learned today in courses and read-aloud.
- 4.If you get stuck, you can ask in your own language — the AI will help.
💡 Even 5 minutes of speaking a day will change how you talk a month later. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
Talk with the AI →🎮Word Games
Review won't happen if it's boring. "Recalling" words through games makes them fun and helps them stick for the long haul.
- 1.Enter the game and pick your level.
- 2.Set the speed (levels 1–3) to suit you.
- 3.Each level brings a different game — alphabet, words, sentences, and more.
- 4.When a Korean word falls, switch it to English; when an English word falls, switch it to its meaning (it works both ways).
💡 Keep your combo going and your score multiplies. One round a day and the words pile up on their own.
Go Play →🏫Virtual School & Live Classes
Together is more fun than alone. Learn alongside friends and teachers through metaverse classrooms and live classes.
- 1.Enter the "Virtual School."
- 2.Take a seat in the metaverse classroom and look over the class materials.
- 3.If there's a live class, join in real time.
💡 Enrolled academy students can keep following their own class's live sessions from home, too.
Virtual School →📊My Learning (Progress & Records)
Seeing how much you've grown makes you want to do more. Your records are fuel for motivation.
- 1.See your progress up to today in "My Learning."
- 2.Completed lessons, game scores, and read-aloud records all build up.
- 3.Look at your weak spots and decide what to work on tomorrow.
💡 It's okay to miss a day. Just start again the next day.
My Learning →💳Payment, Course Codes & Membership
You can get plenty done for free. Pay only when you want to unlock everything.
