Create Language Courses with Ease
Context
With thousands of languages spoken in Africa and many more around the world, global travellers regularly find it difficult to communicate freely as they travel. Many solutions are available for people to spend months or years learning new languages or translating sentences on their phone but nothing seamless and real-time exists.
Solution
Langbot is a startup that aims to facilitate the learning of languages through the use of bots. It provides an interface that facilitates dialogue and various forms of conversation between services and consumers. Langbot created an app solution to help ease the journey of both creating course material for teaching new languages and learning new languages in our increasingly globally integrated world. With langbot, teachers can quickly create a course, and users experience a “personal tutor” chat experience that improves their learning outcomes.
Impact
Langbot reaches over 250k users around the world, helping them learn new languages faster through a personalized tutor app on their phones. It has partnered with the biggest French school in Ethiopia, Alliance Ethio-Francaise, and has been running successful user tests with their students. Alliance Francaise has over a thousand campuses around the world that can leverage this technology.
