One of the harder things in Korean is to learn where the spaces go. Even Koreans sometimes write without spaces at all.

I fail some of my cards completely because I didn't put a space in a place where it must appear. Maybe for certain things like spaces and apostrophes it could just warn you that you're "almost there" to remind you to put the space in. It means you know the word, but forgot the exact rule for what is a word and what isn't.

Hm. From what I gather from briefly reading about Korean, spaces are only used to make reading the text easier, and they are not grammaticaly necessary, is that not true?


Either way - we have the "alternative words" feature:

How about if you answer with answerinkorean, it marks your answer as correct; however it additionally shows you an even more correct answer (answer in korean)?
It works differently now (just marks your answer as correct), but it's easy to make it so that it shows you the right answer.

No, while a lot of Koreans ignore spacing, there's official spacing rules in Korean

But I feel there should be a feature for getting things "almost" right anyway to allow someone to fix their mistake without having to look up the word. I could imagine it would be useful in other situations, like hyphenated words in English where spelling them separately is technically wrong, but not as grave a mistake as outright misspelling them
