Buy us a Ko-fi

I know you’re probably like, “How dumb is this girl?! She can’t even spell coffee correctly. And we’re supposed to trust her to teach us Korean?!”

But if you let me explain I promise I can try and get you back on my side…and also get you spelling Ko-fi like this.

I started Korean From Context a little over a year ago and every time we get a little bigger I get excited. I see a bright future, I get larger dreams, I add more goals to what I hope the site can accomplish. But with the growth comes a bunch of stress. I never want to let the people who follow us down but sometimes I simply cant’ put my whole heart into the site due to life around me.

While I have help from Lindsay and Aleda, they also have their own lives to live and jobs to do.

My goal with this site, aside from the main one of helping people learn Korean in a fun new way, is to have it be a full-time gig. That way I can put forth my effort 110% and give you everything I have dreamed up for this site.

I know that is a lofty goal. And with such a lofty goal comes the sad but all too real truth that, this goal would require something. As our favorite bad boy Sul Bin said so simply…돈 (don- money).

And I know as k-pop and k-drama stans, we want to spend our money on albums and merch. So here is a way to help Korean From Context keep helping you and not take too much away from your Korean merch buying money.

Ko-fi is a site where artists (writers, graphic designer, photographers, cosplayers and more!) offer special incentives to people who ‘buy them a cup of coffee’. The ‘coffee’ really helps pay for the continuation of building their craft and keeping their fans happy.

If you have heard of Patreon, Ko-fi, is very similar. However, it is more lenient on the coffee buyer as well as the coffee receiver. You can pay once and never pay again. Or you can pay monthly and can receive some special goodies every month.

Those special goodies from us would include:

Deleted scenes from the novels

Unpublished photographs

Short Scenarios

(We are working on some more stuff as well)

In the future we even hope to do commission pieces of writing. 1-2 page scenarios, just for you and your eyes only (unless you want to share with friends), with whatever plot line and characters you would want and new Korean phrases to keep you learning.

If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of please check out our ko-fi page and maybe buy us a Ko-fi? CLICK HERE

IF YOU READ THIS FAR…The first 5 people to buy us coffee will receive a gift! DM us on instagram (@koreanfromcontext) or on Twitter (@koreanfrmcntxt) with proof. Once verified we will send you a massive k-pop or k-drama thank you 😉
