About us
The company aims to transform how people learn, beginning with language education. With over two billion individuals worldwide attempting to learn a new language, current methods remain limited in accessibility and innovation. The organization is developing an AI-driven, conversation-focused tutoring platform that fits in a user’s pocket, offering immediate feedback and structured lessons. Launched in South Korea in 2019, it has become the top language learning app there, now serving users across multiple regions in 15+ languages. It has raised more than $150 million from leading investors including OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, and Khosla Ventures, with team hubs in San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
What are we casting for?
Seeking performers to star in pre-recorded, app-based language lessons as instructors. Each session involves sitting at a table facing the camera and delivering prepared scripts that teach language fundamentals. Though not live, the lessons are interactive, featuring questions and adaptive responses. Users engage with the recorded content and practice speaking during the session. Mandarin-speaking instructors will perform bilingual scripts designed to teach English to native Mandarin speakers.
