버디 (Budi) : 영어회화 친구를 만나보세요.

Stop studying English now.

It's okay to make mistakes, so just try chatting in English with an English buddy. :)

Chatting in English on Buddy will improve your English.

Do you know why foreign language skills improve when you study abroad?

It's because you are surrounded by people who speak English, so you have no choice but to speak.

Buddy is a service that allows you to meet English conversation friends so you can speak English.

Listen to the story of Sean, the Founder who isn't good at English but wants to improve.

Hello. I am Sean, the founder of Buddy.

You ask why I created Buddy?

I've tried English tutoring and English academies... but I found that I forgot the English I learned very quickly.

I memorized 20 example sentences, but...

I never actually had a chance to use those expressions. In the end, I forgot them again.

So I started thinking about how to improve my English naturally, just like a native speaker.

Ultimately, I realized that it is important to create an environment where you are "encouraged to speak," even if it means making mistakes.

So, instead of speaking to someone who lectures like a professional English teacher, I started thinking, "Wouldn't your English naturally improve if you just talked frequently and comfortably in English with a friend who speaks English as well as a native?"

That is why I created a place where you can meet and converse in English with natural, near-native speakers—people who speak English naturally well but haven't taught before—rather than those who were originally active as English teachers.

That is Buddy.

[ English tutoring? English study apps? English academies?… No. Just chat on Buddy. ]

Speaking English? It's okay to make mistakes.

No, actually, try making mistakes. The concept is that Buddy will correct you if you speak incorrectly.

Your English improves naturally, not by learning in a classroom, but by chatting over a cup of coffee at a cafe.

Just like meeting a native friend while visiting a foreign country.

You can create this right here in Korea. On Buddy.

[ Here's what Budi is ]

It's a service where you can meet friends who are Korean expatriates or have studied abroad in person and have 1:1 conversations.

You don't open a textbook to learn grammar! You choose a situation where you want to use English, and then converse with a friend as if you were role-playing.

For example, want to order at a New York restaurant? Then you recreate that exact scenario and converse with your buddy as if it were real.

As you have fun with a like-minded buddy, the foreign language you need for that situation will naturally stick in your mouth!

[ Here's what kind of Budi you can meet! ]

Anna, a marketer who came to Korea after living in the U.S. for 7 years

Jenny, a model who lived in Canada for over 10 years

Lucy, currently studying abroad in Texas

Charming people you'd want to be friends with in real life are gathered on Budi.

Finding out who to meet is the start of the fun!

[ Can you only learn English? NO! Full of diverse Budi! ]

You can meet buddies with various skills in addition to foreign languages.

* One. Foreign Language Buddies: English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and even French!

We cover everything from free conversation and travel phrases to business English, presentation preparation, interview preparation, and even study abroad preparation.

* Two. Personal Color / Coordi / Shopping Buddies: Worried about styling? Let's go shopping together with a buddy!

* Three. Exercise / Leisure / Sports Buddies: Enjoy golf, exercise, and leisure activities with a buddy!

It’s okay if language study isn't your primary goal. As you share your interests with a buddy,

conversations flow naturally, and you become comfortable with the foreign language within that process.

[ How We Meet ]

With Buddy, you can choose from 60, 90, or 120 minutes,

and meet at a time of your choosing at a location recommended by your buddy, such as a cafe or restaurant.

The first meeting is a trial session, and if you find a buddy you click with, you can continue meeting regularly once a week or once every two weeks.

Unlike a cram school where you have to force yourself to stick to a schedule, it’s as casual as making plans with a friend. There are so many people who haven't missed a single session in three months!
