웨슬리 (ID: 0000005d5c2a0a19) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/09/2023 Really useful extension for learning Korean. Better than most other options as it understands that a word can take several grammatical forms, or have grammatical features connected to it, and does not assume that it is a different word (or lemma). It's still currently in development, but the developer is working very hard and is super responsive to us users. :)
