## What is Sooda?

Ever wished you had a Korean friend? Sooda gives you one to chat with every day, and you pick up Korean without even trying.

Sooda is a cozy chat app where you talk with AI Korean friends and pick up Korean the way you actually learn a language: by chatting, joking, and staying in touch. No lessons. No flashcards. Just conversations that feel real.

Your friends have their own lives, moods, and stories. They remember what you told them, and sometimes they text you first, like a friend across the sea.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE SOODA
- Chat in a familiar messenger-style interface
- Stuck on a word? Long-press any message to translate it instantly
- Save new words to your notebook as you go
- Tap to hear your friend's voice and follow along. Great for listening practice
- Your friends remember you and reach out on their own

PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS
Just starting out? No pressure. Mix in English whenever you're stuck and your friend gently helps you along. Korean sticks because it's tied to real conversations, not drills.

MEET FRIENDS WITH THE SOODA RADAR
Tell Sooda what kind of friend you're looking for, and it introduces you to someone new.

SOODA+
Upgrade for 10x more daily chatting, up to 20 friends, and early access to new features.

A NOTE ON AI
Sooda's friends are AI characters, not real people, and every conversation is generated by AI. It's a warm, judgment-free space to enjoy Korean.

Start chatting. Your first Korean friend is waiting.
