About Us

<img src="/assets/img/us.jpg">
<p>
Hey! We're <a href="https://twitter.com/kevopuff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevo</a> and <a
href="https://puffygang.com">Heidi</a>. Kevo was learning Cantonese for
years <b>on his own</b>, despite Heidi always being around. We thought there
should be a way to involve her in the process.
</p>
<p>
So we
started Coupling to help ourselves and other couples to make language
learning a shared journey
