Why Saga?

We are Simon and Felix. We’re both Swedish, but our girlfriends are Korean and Italian. Neither of us had a particular interest in learning languages before, but we suddenly had strong reasons to pick one up, to better connect with our partners and their heritage.

Existing solutions didn’t work for us. The standard language apps didn’t deliver the results we were looking for, and private tutors or classes felt like too big a commitment, both in time and cost. We wanted a straightforward method that leads to real, practical progress.

We’re not blindly sold on AI products (there’s a lot of slop out there), but this new technology is also a powerful enabler of experiences that simply weren’t possible before. On top of that, LLMs (Large Language Models) are exceptionally good at... language.

So we set out to build the most rewarding and accessible language app in the world, one that makes it possible for even people like us to successfully learn a new language.
