Our Mission
Why we do this
Why Kaika Lab makes tools for people who learn languages and for the people who teach them.
-
Sharing the beauty of Asian languages
Japanese, Korean, Chinese and the other languages of Asia carry the life and history of the places where they are spoken, in every sound and every character. We want learners all over the world to discover how beautiful and appealing these languages are.
-
Bringing the countries of Asia closer
Even neighbouring countries find it hard to see each other clearly without a shared language. As more people learn each other's languages, they cross borders more often, for work and for friendship. We want to help strengthen these ties across Asia.
-
Learning a language, understanding a culture, respecting each other
Learning a language also means learning how its speakers think and live. Once we understand our differences, we can respect each other's cultures. We hope our materials can be a way in.
-
Helping people live peaceful, happy lives
Every day gets a little more enjoyable when you can understand the people around you. We want to help people who are building peaceful, happy lives.
Our name
KaikaKaika (開花) means "to bloom". We chose it in the hope that every learner's ability will come into bloom.
That is why we make exam-prep apps for Korean and Japanese, tools for language teachers, and the drama series Learn Korean with a Drama.
