Our Mission

A few high-school students with a dream.

Language is a truly unique and fascinating aspect of the human experience. More than just a tool for communication, it is a gateway to culture, identity, and connection. At Linguana, we embrace the deeply social nature of language by focusing on interactivity and authentic human relationships throughout the learning process. Our mission is to foster meaningful cross-cultural connections that go beyond vocabulary and grammar.

For these reasons, we are committed to using no artificial intelligence in our core learning experience. We believe that language is best learned through real human interaction, not through conversations with algorithms. By relying solely on human-curated courses, interactive videos and human-to-human engagement, we ensure that our users build genuine, lasting connections while developing a natural and culturally rich understanding of their target language.

Linguana is a community built on empathy, curiosity, and the power of human connection.
