Company history, philosophy and team

A vision for flexible and effective language learning

LinguaTV was founded by Sandra Gasber and Philip Gienandt in 2006 with the aim of making it easier for people, especially working people, to learn a foreign language.

While working in the European Parliament in Brussels, Sandra came into daily contact with people from different countries and cultures. The diversity of mother tongues and the need to improve her own language skills played a central role in this. However, due to her busy schedule, it was not possible for her to attend a traditional language school with fixed course times. She needed a more flexible solution that could be seamlessly integrated into her everyday working life.

This is how the idea for LinguaTV was born:
An innovative learning platform that offers short, easily digestible learning content that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.

Through her own experiences, Sandra realized that language skills, communication skills and intercultural understanding are not only essential for professional development, but also play an important role in building social relationships in her private life.

Challenge: Designing learning content that motivates

An important question that the founding couple already asked themselves when designing the concept was: What should the learning content look like so that the time invested can be used effectively for learning and you still feel like learning something after a long working day?

Language learning that is fun

After intensive research and discussions with numerous learners, one thing became clear: videos are the ideal medium for learning languages. They make it possible to experience the language in realistic situations instead of just memorizing isolated vocabulary or sentences, which can quickly become tiring. Users also learn the correct pronunciation and sentence intonation from the outset - a decisive advantage.

But videos can do even more: they provide valuable (inter) cultural background and context, which makes learning lively and varied. The advantages are obvious: the combination of visual content, correct pronunciation and exciting stories ensures a high level of motivation to learn.

The special thing about the LinguaTV learning videos is that the video dialogs are written in such a way that the learning content is conveyed in a particularly condensed form.

To further inspire learners, the LinguaTV authors rely on storytelling. The learning videos tell entertaining stories that present the learning material in a concise and appealing form.

LinguaTV is growing with its customers

Over the years, LinguaTV has continued to refine its concept and expand and optimize its offering in line with customer requirements. The LinguaTV team has also grown continuously and today consists of experienced teachers, media didacticians, game developers, developers (mobile and web), filmmakers and educational consultants.

Development towards interactive learning at the highest level

The LinguaTV platform now offers an extremely interactive learning experience. With the innovative Conversation Trainer, learners can actively take on the role of the video protagonists and improve their communication skills in a practical way.
They also have the option of booking a teacher for individual or group training sessions in the virtual classroom. Our blended learning system combines independent learning on the platform with live lessons - for holistic language training.
