Our story

About Gachi Studio

We make Korean learning accessible, enjoyable, and connected to real culture — from Hangul practice to everyday expressions and food culture.

Our mission

To make Korean learning accessible, engaging, and practical for learners worldwide. Language sticks best through real stories, authentic culture, and genuine connection to the people and places behind the words.

Our vision

A world where Korean language and culture are open to everyone — where learners do not just memorise words, but understand the heritage behind every phrase.

What we create

Four pillars

They define every piece of content we publish.

Structured learning paths

Beginner Hangul lessons, guided practice and clearly marked plans for future courses.

Real-life application

Travel phrases, original everyday dialogues, and practical choices for polite Korean.

Cultural immersion

Korean food, traditions, and daily life through dedicated content.

Learning tools

Interactive Korean practice, plus Korean-language guides to English and digital study tools.

One studio, clearly marked learning spaces

Gachi Korea is our main learning space for adult beginners studying Korean: Hangul lessons, writing workbooks and browser-based practice tools.

English & Learning Tools is a separate collection written in Korean for Korean-speaking learners. It includes practical guides such as Language Reactor and everyday English resources.

Daylody and Musefound are our separate music projects. Their playlists are kept in the music collection rather than the Korean lesson sequence.

The person behind it

Meet Rian

Founder & creator of Gachi Studio

Hi, I'm Rian.

I graduated from a university in New York and earned a Master's in English Education from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. My focus was Technology & Materials — essentially, figuring out which tools and resources actually make language learning click. I also hold a Young Learner TESOL certification from Sookmyung Women's University and a Korean Language Teaching Certificate, Level 2.

After five years of pouring myself into English education, the question I keep coming back to is always the same: how do we make language learning feel less like a chore?

I've been running a blog for over five years, sharing classroom phrases, cultural stories, and language tips along the way. More recently I've been genuinely excited about how AI can change the way we learn languages — so that has been finding its way into the content too.

Teaching English gradually opened my eyes to a bigger goal: I want more people around the world to discover Korean. Gachi Studio is that space. There is a lot more coming.
