Matthew Ho

With a love of both technology and business, and with experience in product marketing, business development, and community engagement through his work with Deloitte, Next Digital and Airbnb, Matt set off on his own path to change the world of language learning by making it as effortless and fun as possible after years of pain and frustration borne out of learning Mandarin Chinese the traditional way.

Chinese-Australian by background, Matt is passionate about Chinese food and culture, and also speaks Cantonese. Matt has also been actively learning Mandarin Chinese since he was a a child in addition to dabbling in Spanish and Japanese.

Occasionally, Matt still enjoys wandering down to the arcade to play his favourite video games, and enjoys playing the odd shoot ‘em up game or a quick game of Street Fighter 2.

Kym Huynh

Ever the intrepid explorer, Kym loves how language can provide a shift in one person’s understanding of the world, and believes that more, now than ever, the ability to understand and speak in multiple languages is crucial.

Fluent in English, Vietnamese and Japanese, Kym is currently mastering the art of French and Spanish conversation. He looks forward, with much enthusiasm, to the day where he can spend an entire week conversing in nothing but French, and the following week in nothing but Spanish.

With a love of technology, the new wave of entrepreneurs, and the dynamic nature of business today, Kym instantly fell in love with the idea that learning languages can be both fun and easy, and wants to forever change the way people learn languages for the better.

Simon Villani

In between a PhD in mathematics, Simon has been building a large repertoire of creative musical ideas. Combining his love for electronic music and production with an interest in world music, Simon is pushing the boundaries in creating a positive learning atmosphere. Immersing the user through culturally diverse sounds is essential in making it fun to learn a new language.

Antonia Follano

Antonia has been drawing since she was a young child. Her biggest inspirations are animals, nature and different cultural influences.

Languages are Antonia’s other passion. Apart from English, Antonia speaks Spanish and Italian, and is currently studying French and Swedish. She is excited by the opportunity to use art and design to make language learning fun and easy.
