Hi there!
I'm a professional Korean teacher— and a former programmer.
Through my work, I spent years helping foreigners communicate in Korean.
I kept researching how to teach Korean more accessibly — and that became What is this in Korean.
Stick with me, and I'll help you level up your Korean.
You can find me on Instagram and TikTok, where I teach Korean in live sessions.
