Bringing fun into language learning

The Swedish startup Friendbase has signed a collaboration agreement with the Austrian startup Vision Education. The partnership aims to provide young people from all over the world fun and educational language learning tools.

To start with both companies will be doing cross branding on their respective apps, but it is the collaborations intention to integrate each others content over time, so LearnMatch becomes an in-game experience for the Friendbase users. This will enable LearnMatch to reach a very large number of users and will add gamified content to the Friendbase offer.

Founder and CEO of Friendbase Deborah Lygonis says “LearnMatch is the perfect match for our users. The combination of learning a new language through games and challenges is just what we are looking for.”.

With thousands of active members in Friendbase, the partnership stands to provide a large boost for LearnMatch as well. LearnMatch is on a growth path and the markets they have chosen in this first campaign aligns well with the ones Friendbase are targeting. The first campaigns will roll out in Brazil, Turkey, Egypt and India.

CEO of LearnMatch says “We are pleased with the perfect fit between Friendbase and LearnMatch. Our companies strive for the same goal: We both want to make successful learning a joyful experience. Fun is just another word for learning and this is why our learners engage where their passion is. Thus we ensure success because the content playfully gets under their skin and into the long term memory.”

The Friendbase LearnMatch campaign will be released at the end of February.
