01Teacher
They speak in their language.
Your teacher speaks Korean, Chinese, or Japanese. You speak your own — naturally, no rehearsing.

Live Go lessons with pro-level teachers from Asia — in your language
AI translates speech in real time, so the language barrier doesn't get in the way.
— How it works
Speak your language. Learn from a master.
Three steps connect you to a pro-level Baduk teacher in real time — no shared language required.
02AI
AI transcribes & translates live.
Speech becomes text in the source language, then your language, in real time as the lesson unfolds.
03You
You read & reply, beside the board.
A live chat sits next to the goban — the teacher's words arrive in your language, and your replies go back in theirs.
— Why us
The teaching East-Asian pros give. The language gap, gone.
Three things you won't get from a video-call + caption setup, or from a generic AI tool.
Caliber
Pro-trained teachers, at reasonable prices.
Our teachers spent their teenage years inside dojos — the specialised schools that train professional players. Some still compete at the highest level of Go tournaments, and our platform gives you access to teaching at that level. Strong East-Asian connections are our competitive edge.
- Years of dojo training (pro-track curriculum)
- Active tournament players among the roster
- Private 1-on-1 lessons tuned to your goals
Built by us
Built by people who actually take these lessons.
I've been a student of these teachers for years. I also make English baduk content on YouTube, and English isn't my first language — so I know both sides of this. My teacher is Korean, and he taught himself enough Chinese to run lessons in spoken Chinese, but he still can't read my Chinese replies. Stuff like that. The product fixes the things that actually get in the way.
- Lessons across languages — finally workable
- Even between same-language pairs, things just flow better
- Baduk-aware, not a generic translator stapled on
Side by side
Like sitting across the board.
In person, half the review is pointing at stones, following each other's eyes, and playing variations out together. We rebuilt those small moves on the board itself — so a remote review feels less like a screen share and more like sitting across from each other.
- See each other's cursor — watch where the teacher is looking, in real time
- Click anywhere to send a ripple — point at a move without committing it
- Play out variations together in interactive mode — the way you would across the table

— FAQ
Common questions.
Two reasons:
- WeChat Meeting only translates Chinese ↔ English. No Korean. Most pro teachers speak Korean, Chinese, or Japanese.
- Even when those tools translate, they have no baduk context. Terms like 'sente', 'aji', 'hane' get mangled. In our pipeline, baduk concepts and terminology are first-class citizens — translations stay accurate during a live lesson.
