FabuLingua, Inc.

FabuLingua is building the future of language education for teachers and kids. Our platform makes it easy for language teachers, tutors, and families to engage and teach young kids through interactive stories, game design, and a patented learning method based on modern language learning science. Think Zelda meets Pokemon meets Duolingo. Our first-of-its-kind "Play to Learn" mobile game makes learning "invisible" while kids are having fun and engaged in the game and stories. FabuLingua supports teachers and tutors with fresh content and easy-to-use tools. Our proprietary (award-winning!) technology is based on comprehensible input and turns an illustrated children's story into a highly effective vehicle for the development of comprehension, pronunciation, and literacy in a low-stress environment. The FabuLingua app is designed for kids aged 2 to 10 and is available on iOS, and Android mobile devices. FabuLingua's freemium teacher platform pairs seamlessly with the app to make teaching convenient and effective. Our unique method introduces the new language in a way that subconsciously develops the child's ear, comprehension, and reading skills. This approach leads to a natural wiring of the brain to the new language that is effective but feels effortless (and fun!) Teaching children a second language at a young age has demonstrable cognitive benefits including improved focus, analytical skills, creativity, executive function, and empathy. However, it is difficult for teachers and parents to find convenient and effective resources to teach kids a second language. FabuLingua offers an efficient, practical, affordable solution that children delight in... and it doesn't feel like homework! FabuLingua's mission is to make learning a second language more entertaining and accessible for children so that future generations grow up to be more open-minded, culturally aware, and better prepared for an increasingly globalized world.
