'Polyglot' Enables Foreign Language Learning from Native Speakers

— March 28, 2017 — Tech
The process of foreign language learning can be somewhat difficult if you aren't immersed in it, so the 'Polyglot' app works to enable you to connect with those nearby that can help guide you through the process.

Suitable for native speakers in virtually every language, 'Polyglot' allows users to find the perfect teacher to converse with in-person or become a teacher themselves of a language they speak.

The rise of travel and digital nomadism has created a newfound need for people to learn different languages in order to get by better when they are planning to move or visit somewhere or when they land. The 'Polyglot' app works to make foreign language learning more laid-back and relaxed with a distinct attention to socializing in the mix.
Trend Themes
1. Social Language Learning - Creating social connections through language learning apps opens up opportunities for immersive and engaging learning experiences.
2. Native Speaker Tutoring - Connecting learners with native speakers as tutors enhances language learning by providing authentic language use and cultural insights.
3. Digital Language Exchange - Facilitating language exchange between users enables mutual learning and practice, breaking down barriers of geography and time.
Industry Implications
1. Education Technology - Integrating social features into language learning platforms can disrupt the traditional language education industry and offer more personalized and interactive learning experiences.
2. Travel & Tourism - By providing language resources for travelers, language-learning apps can disrupt the travel industry by empowering individuals to navigate foreign countries with ease.
3. Freelancing & Online Tutoring - The rise of language learning apps offering tutor opportunities creates disruptive innovation by allowing individuals to monetize their language skills and teach others from anywhere in the world.
