Our Story
Born from real experience
“I know what it feels like to not be understood. That frustration became my fuel.”
Where it all started
KK grew up in the south of Thailand, then moved 1,250 km north for university — where even the dialect was completely different. That was her first taste of what it means to feel like a stranger in your own country.
Languages everywhere
10 months as an exchange student in Poland. Then 4 years in Portugal for her PhD. Each country brought a new language, new barriers, and the same feeling: if only there were a better way to learn.
German: the final boss
Now living in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Four official languages. Der, die, das. Separable verbs. Word order that makes your head spin. KK is learning German every single day — and she gets it.
A tiny desk, a big idea
One 60×60 cm table in the corner of a kitchen. One laptop. No team, no investors. Just a mom with a PhD, a passion for languages, and the belief that learning should be beautiful, fun, and accessible to everyone.
Willkommen was born
Built from real struggles. Designed with real love. Willkommen exists because KK knows exactly how it feels to stare at a new language and think “I'll never get this.” She did. And she'll help you do it too.
Gute Reise!
