I’ve been reading through the forums and saw that there was discussion last year of having a SSI Korean course in the beta phase! Looking at the app now, it doesn’t appear to be listed. Is there any plans to get Korean in the mix? I know a lot of people would jump at the chance to learn it, especially using the SSI model

I mentioned this a while ago because I was going to Korea (I’ve since been and can highly recommend Seoul, if anyone is interested) and remember reading that SSiK was in the pipeline. Do we have an update on it?
It does seem to have been pushed back, sadly. But we just got SSi Irish unexpectedly, so who knows? There are a lot of bugs being worked out in the languages currently available, and the team seems to be learning from them and improving the automation of new builds, so from one perspective the longer we wait for Korean the better it should be.

Just saw this!
Yes, as @verity-davey said we’ve been focusing on fixes rather than new courses right now… Irish came out suddenly because we got some specific funding to make it, so we were able to prioritise it
Korean is still very much one of the next languages to come out, we just want to get at least some of our existing langauges really good first before we’re ready to use the process on a new language. Running on the existing langauges lets us iron out some issues with the process, so that we can be a bit more confident it’ll work well on a language we don’t speak. Also, we’ll hopefully have more resources to get someone to proofread the course at that point…
(fixing the existing courses has so far been a pretty slow and painful process, because I’m still struggling to get one of the new scripts to work as well as I would like it to…)
