We're on a mission to connect people across cultures by making hard languages easy to learn, with real native speakers, no boring textbooks.
The Beginning
Simon (German) and Khwan (Thai) met at university in Germany.
Simon wanted to learn Thai to connect with Khwan's culture.
“So they built their own”
But here's the thing: there were no good Thai learning apps. Nothing with real native voices. Nothing that actually worked.
They got married, moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand, and started Ling.
The Launch
After years of work, Ling launched on iOS and Android. Real Thai voices. Fun lessons. No boring textbooks
You don't learn a language from robots or textbooks. You learn from real people—how they actually talk, laugh, and live.
That's why every lesson in Ling is recorded by native speakers. Real pronunciation. Real culture. Real connection.
People loved it. Expats, couples, travelers: everyone learning Thai finally had something that worked.
Growth
Turns out, we really loved helping people learn languages. So we kept going, adding more and more languages every year.
Languages that barely exist online-we made them accessible.
Because your partner's language matters. Your heritage matters. The culture you're curious about matters to us.
We started with Thai. Then we added Khmer. Lao. Burmese. Tagalog, and more!
The Mission
Learning a language isn't just about words. It's about understanding people. Their jokes. Their stories. Their world.
We want to be your go-to place for learning any language and helping you connect with people everywhere.
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Simon and Khwan got married, moved to Chiang Mai, and started Ling. Now we're a team of 20+ nationalities working together to make language learning actually work.
Same mission. Bigger team. Still personal.
