For the past 24 months, I've been working on Kimchi Reader, a tool designed to help you learn Korean through immersion.

As a Korean learner myself, I wanted a tool that actually worksโ€”so I built one! Admittedly, I ended up spending more time coding than studying, but Iโ€™ll get back to it someday. ๐Ÿ˜…

Honestly, Iโ€™m not great at marketing, but I'm proud of what Iโ€™ve created. I genuinely think itโ€™s a fantastic tool, and people whoโ€™ve tried it love it. You should give it a try too!
