Thirteen years of learning Korean taught me one useful thing: speak more.

I'm Jeremy. I started as a foreign learner who wanted to understand Running Man and K-pop. I now live in Korea—and I built Sudamate because the biggest changes in my Korean never came from another lecture.

Running Man started it.

I began learning Korean because I wanted to understand the jokes, lyrics, and conversations I was already curious about. That curiosity stayed with me for 13 years and eventually brought me to live in Korea.

I took lessons, studied grammar, memorised vocabulary, and did the things learners are supposed to do. They helped—but knowing Korean and being able to speak Korean were never quite the same thing.

My Korean improved fastest when I stopped preparing to speak and simply spoke more. That's why I built Sudamate.

The useful part was opening my mouth.

Conversation exposes the gap immediately: the sentence you know but cannot retrieve, the pronunciation that changes under pressure, the natural phrasing a textbook never quite gives you. Feedback makes that speaking time compound instead of disappear.

“My Korean improved fastest when I stopped preparing to speak and simply spoke more.”

Speaking with feedback is the shortcut.

Sudamate gives you a reason to speak, a companion who remembers why you care, and a useful review after the call. It is not a replacement for curiosity. It is a way to turn curiosity into real Korean you can use.
