Frequently Asked Questions

How do you create content?

Start with a small, complete course. Quality over quantity. Use subject matter experts. Content is your moat - dont underestimate the effort.

What makes gamification work?

Streaks, XP, levels, and leaderboards are mechanics. The magic is in making progress feel rewarding. Study behavioral psychology, not just game design.

Can you compete with Duolingo?

Not on languages they cover. Focus on niche skills, specific languages, or different audiences (enterprise, professional skills, regional languages).
