Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Either they're using AI for the English speaker or the person speaking has absolutely no clue how any of the Korean words and names are pronounced. Not to mention the names are pronounced differently each time.
For a site that claims it is based on sociolinguistics, it seems to be missing a human component.
It was really hard to get past Jeyuungbookgoong for 경복궁.
