Fluent Forever has established a notable presence in the language learning market through a methodology rooted in neuroscience. The company was founded by Gabriel Wyner, an opera singer who needed to learn multiple languages quickly for his career. His journey began after struggling with traditional language classes, leading him to develop a more efficient learning method, which he initially detailed in his 2014 book, "Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It". This book laid the groundwork for the company's philosophy.
The venture transitioned into a technology company following a record-breaking crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in 2017, which raised over $1.7 million, signaling strong market validation for its approach. This capital injection facilitated the development and launch of the Fluent Forever mobile application in 2018. The company's core business revolves around this subscription-based app, which targets individuals seeking to achieve fluency in a new language. Revenue is generated directly from users who subscribe to access the platform's learning tools and content.
The Fluent Forever application distinguishes itself from other language-learning platforms by employing a four-step, personalized learning process based on spaced repetition systems (SRS) and principles of memory creation. Instead of relying on pre-made flashcards with translations, the system guides users to create their own digital flashcards using images, personal connections, and pronunciation trainers. This user-generated, visually-aided process is designed to help the brain store vocabulary and grammar rules in long-term memory more effectively. The platform offers instruction in a variety of languages, focusing on building a strong foundation in pronunciation and vocabulary before moving on to more complex grammatical structures.
