Our Team

We believe that teachers will not be replaced by AI, but 98.7% of their routine work will.

We believe that students can and should do a lot themselves to master a language, and with help of technology they can.

Let teacher be a motivator, guide, inspiration, and a friend, and computers can do all the dirty work.

We are a multilingual, interdisciplinary team comprising of linguists, technologists, graphic designers, and educators, all driven by our shared passion for languages. With a wealth of creative ideas, we aim to revolutionize the language learning experience, making it not only informative, but also engaging and fulfilling. To us, learning a language is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary, but about gaining a deeper understanding of different cultures and people. This understanding is becoming increasingly crucial in today's interconnected world, where knowing another language opens up a world of new opportunities and perspectives.
