Openwords 90 second Introduction - v6

  • 0:03 - 0:07
    We live in a diverse world filled with
    thousands of languages.
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    Sadly, for millions around the world
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    there aren’t language learning apps
    available for the languages
  • 0:12 - 0:13
    they care about.
  • 0:14 - 0:18
    And even if apps do cover a language,
    These apps limit the topics you can learn.
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    We need a language learning app that is
    as unique as you
  • 0:22 - 0:23
    and
  • 0:23 - 0:28
    truly open to all the world’s cultures.
    This is why we're starting Openwords.
  • 0:28 - 0:33
    But how can one startup create content
    for thousands of languages ?
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    Openwords has open-source content.
    This means we can mine
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    massive public resources like Wikimedia
    and create basic lessons
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    for any language in the world.
    This is important because
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    50% of the world’s population speaks
    non common languages.
  • 0:51 - 0:57
    And the Openwords app is completely free.
    But open words is more than just free.
  • 0:57 - 1:01
    Openwords is open with
    personalized learning and lessons.
  • 1:02 - 1:06
    Open words also aims to be
    a powerful new tool for teachers.
  • 1:06 - 1:10
    Teachers will not only have the freedom
    to customize individual lessons
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    They'll also have the ability to track
    student's progress.
  • 1:14 - 1:19
    With your support we can bring
    free open language learning to the world.
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    Welcome to open words - Language learning
    for planet Earth.
