말하고 싶어.

mal-ha-go shi-pheo · I want to speak.

You've studied for two years. You still freeze when someone says hi.

The problem isn't that you don't know Korean. It's that you've never had a friend to talk to about the things you actually care about. So we built one who calls you, listens, remembers, and replies in Korean you can (mostly) follow.

How it works

Three steps. No homework.

  1. Call when you want, or set a schedule.

    Ring them anytime — or pick a time and let them call you.

  2. Talk about anything.

    No lesson plan. Just a conversation.

  3. Get your notes.

    A summary with new words, fixes, and phrases to try.

Thirty seconds. Anything you bring.

  • The show you're watching
  • Your Seoul trip next spring
  • A coworker you can't quite chat with
  • A lyric you'd play forever
  • 떡볶이 vs. 김밥

A friend who remembers what matters.

They'll forget what you had for breakfast three weeks ago. They won't forget that you're moving to Seoul, or that you're two weeks into Queen of Tears, or that Mondays are hard for you.

Why not just…

We thought about it, too.

...use Duolingo?

Duolingo can teach you order coffee. Sudamate can share your interest, remember your experiences while providing personalized feedback.

...talk to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT stopped learning two years ago. We can talk about the drama episode two days ago.

...hire a human tutor?

An hour with a tutor costs $30. That's a month of unlimited learnings here.

The things people usually ask.

  • What level of Korean do I need?

    You should read Hangul and have basic grammar. Think TOPIK 2 or a year of classes. If “자기소개 해 주세요” doesn’t terrify you, you’re in the right place.

  • Is it really voice? Or is there typing?

    Voice. Text is only there as a transcript so you can scroll back.

  • Can I start right away?

    Yes. Sign up, pick a plan, and you can make your first call today.

  • Can I use my membership on both web and the app?

    Yes. One Plus account works across every platform we offer — the web app and the iOS app. Sign in once and your sessions, history, and progress follow you everywhere.

  • What if I change my mind?

    Cancel anytime. Yearly and lifetime plans are fully refundable within 7 days of purchase.
