Brand story
Hi there! I’m Jeongwoo Park (Danny), a professional Korean teacher since 2017. I’ve taught over 200 students from all around the world in more than 2,000 lessons — and I’m still going strong!
I’m also a language learner just like you.
When learning languages, I’ve tried many different methods — 1:1 lessons, books, radio, YouTube, apps, and more. Among them, the one I liked the most was apps. They let me study anytime, are affordable, and can be personalized. But…
I tried using the expressions I learned from language apps in real conversations.
My Thai teacher said,
My American friend said,
I couldn’t trust language apps anymore. Then I started wondering — what about Korean apps? So, I tried the top 10 Korean language apps from the app store. Within minutes, I found inaccurate, awkward, and unnatural expressions everywhere.
As a Korean teacher, I couldn’t just watch students learn Korean the wrong way.
So I made up my mind.
But I had absolutely no idea how to make an app. So I asked for help from Dave, an American programmer and one of my Korean students.
We decided to exchange programming lessons for Korean lessons.
Starting in 2018, we met twice a week to study together, and in February 2020, we finally released the very first version of the Podo app!
