SeoJae Story - Classic books in easy English, with Korean under every line

Hi Product Hunt 👋

I built SeoJae Story (서재 = "home library" in Korean) for one very common problem: millions of adults in Korea study English for years, buy English novels, and give up by page 10. The books are too hard, and graded readers are usually dull.

I'm a language learner myself, and reading is how I like to learn. But every time I picked up a real novel in another language, I spent more time in the dictionary than in the story. I wanted something in between: the books I actually wanted to read, at a level I could finish, with help one tap away. Nothing quite did that, so I started building it.

The app retells the books people actually want to read: Dracula, The Great Gatsby, Treasure Island, Pride and Prejudice, Marcus Aurelius, Benjamin Franklin and more, in clear English from A1 to B2, in parts of about three minutes each. A few things I care about:

• Human translations. Every sentence has a Korean translation written by people, not run through a machine translator.
• Tap any word. You get its meaning in context, plus real example sentences from elsewhere in the library. It's all an in-house offline dictionary, so it's instant.
• Listen at your speed. Every sentence is narrated (female or male voice), from 0.5× for shadowing up to 1.5×, with the current line highlighted.
• The real thing, when you're ready. Most stories link to the author's original public-domain text in short sections.
• It works the other way too: English speakers learning Korean can read Korean folktales and 구운몽 with English meanings for every word.

It's free, there's no sign-up to start reading, and new chapters are added every week. It runs on the web and Android.

I'd love your feedback, especially:
1. Which classic should I add next?
2. If you're learning a language, would you want this for other language pairs?

Thanks for checking it out! 📚
