I studied a language for four years.
Still can't hold a conversation.
I took Mandarin for four years. I got good grades. I passed the tests. But actually talking to someone? Not really.
Meanwhile, I was watching Korean shows and picking up words and phrases without even trying.
Why did learning feel so different when I was watching something I actually cared about?
I couldn't find an app that worked this way. So we built one.
