ABOUT US

FluentU is an online education company that helps people learn languages with real-world videos, including movie trailers, music videos, news and inspiring talks. We have a popular website, iOS app, and Android app. Founded in 2011, we’re a profitable, stable company with long-term focus, and we’re proudly self-funded.

We get 4 million+ visitors per month on our blogs, and we’re leveraging that to launch a new app that engages users in an immersive, first-person language learning experience. It will be made by a team of language experts, developers, designers, marketers and video creators (this is where you come in). Here’s the type of video that we’d be asking you to create (the particular example is for English speakers learning Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISP1tM-nMMk&t=11s You would make a video in a different language for people learning English (e.g Korean, Spanish, Japanese or another language).

We’re planning to cover a broad range of English levels, starting with complete beginners all the way to more advanced learners.

This is a unique opportunity to have a big impact on the new app, which is in the early stages.
