Who we are?

Have you ever attempted to learn a language and hit a barrier that stopped your progress? Maybe you want to learn a language but find it difficult to make time? We are building a language learning app called Tip of the Tongue to help overcome these challenges. With Tip of the Tongue you learn from native materials, such as real TV shows, podcasts, and music. There is no upper bound on your learning since you are learning from the same media as native speakers! We also designed Tip of the Tongue from the ground up with your busy schedule in mind. Voice controls and a learning schedule help you learn on the go. Let's get learning today!
