PROBLEM


  • The global language learning app market is ineffective and uninspiring.  

  • Many so-called "AI Tutors" lack structured teaching methods and are merely clickbait.  

  • Investors are funding products without a real understanding of how language learning actually works.  

  • Linguists vs. Educators: Linguists excel in studying languages but may struggle with teaching them effectively.  

  • Language learning must consider social sciences and user psychology, not just linguistic analysis.  



    SOLUTION

       
    • Build a hyper automated invisible machine ecosystem and a world class AI Instructor.
    • Fluent's structured methodology accelerates onboarding of any language.  
    • Curriculum draws from Stephen Krashen (linguistics) and Stanislas Dehaene (neuroscience).  
    • Patent-able methodology ensures competitive advantage. 
    • Emphasis on UI/UX design, marketing, and branding to enhance engagement.  
    • User experience must be satisfying, motivating, and effective for retention.  
    • We leverage the five most effective language teaching methods for app-based learning:
      •   Blended Learning (Core of The Tavares Method)  
      •   Full Immersion  
      •   Audio-Lingual Method  
      •   Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) 
      •   Lexical Approach  
    • Users must feel their progress and enjoy the experience—Fluent delivers both.  

    THE TAVARES METHOD



    Overview 

    • Develops learners’ contextual deduction abilities to accelerate the path to understanding another language.
    • Tailors curriculum based on the writing system of the target language.  
    • Introduces grammar & conjugations later, as they can slow early progress.  
    • Combines listening, mimicry, and active practice for maximum reinforcement.  
    • Optimal schedule: Two 1-hour sessions per week + 10-15 minutes of daily practice is excellent but not required.  
    • Students regularly self-assess their strengths and areas for improvement.

    UI/UX VISION


    SaaS isn’t dying. 
    It’s evolving. 
    And we have a plan.



    1. "Promptology" as the New UX  
    • Natural language interactions replace traditional UI.   
    • AI interprets vague/incomplete inputs and provides meaningful results.  
    • Users learn how to communicate with AI effectively. 

    2. Conversational Design as the Core Skill  
    • AI understands context switching and multi-turn interactions.   
    • AI must fail gracefully, like a human tutor would.  

    3. Technology Becoming More "Human"  
    • AI adapts to user needs instead of forcing users to adapt to AI.  
    • The line between assistance, collaboration, and leadership blurs.




    GTM STRATEGY & BUSINESS MODEL 



    Goal: Establish Fluent as the premium, AI-powered, language learning platform, and disrupt our competitors. We will need a multi-phase hybrid approach that balances B2C virality, and B2B enterprise adoption.

    • Creativity & Intrigue as a hook - The brand will speak for itself in our marketing and advertising. 
    • Freemium-to-Premium Upsell – One free lesson, and access to minigames are free but structured AI-driven coaching is premium ($30/month).  
    • Advertising - Freemium users will watch ads in exchange for more time with Fluent features (Mini games, practice, etc)


        2. Community Growth
        • Social Challenges & Insights – Leaderboards, progress reports, and gamified learning to drive engagement.  
        • Influencer & Creator Partnerships – Collaborate with notable influencers, and creators to grow awareness and credibility.

        4. Immediate Execution (3-6 Months)
        • Beta Testing & AI Refinement – Private beta with early adopters, influencers, and EdTech thought leaders.  
        • Targeted Ads & SEO Growth – Google & YouTube ads + content marketing focused on high-intent learners.  
        • Enterprise Pilots & Webinars – Partner with HR leaders & L&D teams for corporate language training trials.  
        • PR & Thought Leadership – Position Fluent as the future of AI-powered language learning through media coverage and expert panels.
