What is Hallo
Hallo is a live streaming community for English learners and teachers. Language learners can watch live videos from native speakers 24/7 and practice speaking in real-time via video chat through our worldwide community of over 750,000 students. In addition, students can book private lessons with teachers. It’s the world’s largest classroom for English learners right in the palm of your hand.
We created Hallo to help people find more opportunities in life and make dreams come true through language. Language learners love Hallo. Many of their closest friendships have been made through our community, and those friendships inspire them to keep learning and growing. We are making language learning fun. If you think that is cool, we hope to work with you!
What is the Language Summit (Hosted by Hallo March 3-5, 2021)
“Language is one of the most basic, yet powerful tools we possess to effect change.” Benjamin Dent – COO @ Hallo
Currently, there are over 3 billion people around the globe learning a foreign language! Of that group, 50% are English learners. From startups to large organizations, innovations at all levels continue to challenge the status quo. Additionally, the language industry continues to evolve in response to changing consumer behaviors (Covid-19) and technology trends. As we have an incredible opportunity for the language learning community to come together and shape the future, staying ahead of the curve is now more important than ever.
The mission of the entirely-online Language Summit conference is to:
- Bring the language learning and education community together.
- Learn from Industry leaders.
- Identify opportunities for growth and innovation.
- Empower people and organizations with the appropriate resources to successfully innovate and scale.
