The Success Factor

BRYAN COOLEY, LangLearner
After traveling to more than 70 countries, Bryan Cooley concluded that there was no practical and affordable way to learn a language. Existing software was expensive and catered to one learning style.
In 2006, after spending 10 months abroad, Cooley decided to do something about the issue. He created LangLearner, an interactive web and mobile platform for learning languages. LangLearner offers 10 languages and plans to add five to 10 more in the next six months.
LangLearner set itself apart from the competition by having four native speakers work on each language application and by catering to visual, experimental and audio learners. The platform offers photos, games, reading tools, multimedia flash cards, the ability to chat with other users and custom content for reviewing vocabulary. And Cooley has developed iPhone and iPod applications, ideal for business travelers or backpackers learning on the go. “We’re pushing the edge of new techniques and technologies,” says Cooley. “It’s fun, practical and efficient.”
Cooley focuses on the travel market and has an international office in Hong Kong. “In the next five years, I will try to sell the company off,” says Cooley. “Separate from that, there needed to be a good model to help people communicate, and I’m excited I can give that back to the world.”
