Cookie Langs

Cookie Langs is a Seoul-based casual learning app and artificial intelligence developer founded in 2018 by the husband and wife duo, Sang Choi and Adele Song. Initially created to help immigrant communities in New York City learn English, the company has since expanded its reach globally. The platform operates as a language-learning marketplace, utilizing AI technologies like voice recognition, translation, and pronunciation correction to transform user-generated content into conversational video clips. It also employs emotion and sentiment recognition to recommend content and features an eye-tracking dictionary.

The company's business model is centered on creating engaging, entertainment-based language learning experiences. A key offering is the "Battle App," a real-time multiplayer gaming app that tests users' English vocabulary. This app was developed in collaboration with Oxford University Press, using their Oxford 2000 wordlist. Content creators can also use the platform to drive engagement and revenue. In 2019, its English-language learning app, FanE, was named App of the Year by the Ministry of Science and Information Technology in South Korea. The company is a funded entity with institutional investors, including GLOBAL ACCELERATION ACADEMY and Atal Innovation Mission. Cookie Langs also has a social component, donating 20% of its profits to projects that support vulnerable children.
