Learn10 is the work of a European team of four, split between Birmingham, UK and South Bohemia, CZ. It is inspired by the efforts of three of the founders to learn Czech, and informed by experience in advertising research analysis & English teaching. With 27,000 members this self-funded project is one year old. After extensive testing based on the prototype - LearnItLists - they have re-branded to Learn10 and are ready to launch.
Learn10 is the result of the 12 month trial of a prototype: LearnItLists.com, combined with experience of teaching & learning languages, programming, training and conducting advertising research. Mike and Nic - (tech director & CEO), are a British couple living in South Bohemia, grappling with Czech, and running a UK based startup.
