Mirinae Extension

Are you learning Korean? Mirinae Explorer helps you understand all the parts-of-speech, grammar patterns and word-meanings in any Korean sentence on any web page, including Korean video subtitles on Viki, Youtube and Netflix.

** Major release update - 2021/06/03 **
This release now displays sentence explanations directly in the web-page you are browsing or video you are watching, so you can stay in context. It’s video subtitle capabilities have now been extended to Youtube and Netflix (when using Learning Language with Netflix).

With the extension activated on a website, you can point at or select any Korean text and ask for a full explanation of the sentence's meaning and grammar, showing a detailed parts-of-speech breakdown, meanings of individual words, highlighting of all grammar, idiom and honorific patterns used, and a phrase-structure parse-tree.

You can click on any of the particles, words, connectors or patterns for a full definition, with usage notes, more example uses, links to reference sites and related patterns and more.

Activate the extension by clicking on its extension toolbar icon when visiting a website. In mouse-over mode, it will automatically notice any Korean text you hover over and show an Explore button near the text. In text-select mode, you can drag-select any text to display the Explore button. On viki.com or Youtube, pausing the video will automatically display an Explore button next to the Korean subtitle. Clicking this button opens a dialog in which you can explore the selected text directly in the dialog, open it in the Explorer home website or save it for later study, by clicking it in your History Page back on the Explorer home website..

While on our site, you can review or search previous text you have explored or saved for later study, or visit the online Korean Grammar Reference Library to find patterns you are studying and explore the rich information available in the library.

Use the Mirinae Explorer Chrome Extension to turn any Korean text you encounter into a learning experience, or just use it as a rich online grammar reference that you can search just by giving examples of the topics you are studying.

Be sure to sign up for your own account, so your exploration history will be kept permanently, and so you will be notified of new features and learning tools that we will be adding in the near future.

Explore, learn, enjoy!

Noshi Aep (ID: 000000767e6f014f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2023 Perfect Translator! Been using the website for a while and finally switched to the addon too! I use it mainly for variety content subtitles or comments in korean. Really helps understanding the sentence. I do have a few things for feedback - I don't know where else to put them so i'll put them here: 1. I think the translation window should be resizebale. Being able to make it smaller would be nice. 2. I feel like after clicking the green circle, it should start exploring the translation right away. The extra step to click on the text to translate feels redundant. 3. Maybe add a "Always on top" option for easier back to back translations. 4. When translating a longer sentence, the translation window gets a horizontal srcoll bar. When moving this scrollbar, you also move the translation window with it. But overall by far my favorite online translation tool!

Rayna Cheong (ID: 000000480273dd58) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/03/2021 I'm a big fan of the Mirinae website. I look forward to future development on this extension. With the customizability of Chrome extensions, I see a lot of potential here as a convenient and personalized language learning tool. Not quite there yet though. At its current basic functions, I don't find that the extension adds much to the way I already utilize the website.
