Teuida Passes 5M Downloads As It Expands Its Speaking-First Language Learning Platform Beyond Korean

Korean edtech startup Teuida, best known for its immersive Korean-speaking app, has crossed 5 million global downloads-a milestone that underscores its growing position in the multilingual learning market. The company, already the No. 1 Korean language learning app worldwide, is now expanding aggressively with new Japanese and Spanish courses, quickly climbing the rankings in both categories.

Teuida's pitch is simple: most people don't fail at language learning because of grammar-they fail because they're afraid to speak. Instead of flashcards or passive listening, the app uses interactive speaking simulations where learners practice real conversations with native speakers in context-rich scenarios like ordering food, making small talk, or asking for directions. It feels closer to role-playing than studying, and users say it lowers the psychological barrier to speaking a new language.

Inside the app, learners hear natural speech, answer aloud, and get immediate feedback, creating a loop that reinforces vocabulary and sentence patterns through experiential learning, not memorization. The goal isn't just to teach expressions-but to help learners complete conversations successfully, building confidence along the way. As Teuida puts it, users don't just study a language. They experience it.

That approach is resonating. According to the company, Teuida recorded a 280% year-over-year revenue increase, fueled by global demand for its speaking-first methodology. Its newly launched Japanese and Spanish programs follow the same template: practical conversations, native-speaker interactions, and story-driven lessons designed to get learners speaking from day one.

“Teuida's mission is to give learners the real experience of speaking a new language and to build confidence step by step,” said CEO Ji Woong Jang.“As we expand into more languages, we're focused on delivering authentic, interactive simulations that meet the needs of modern learners.”

Looking ahead, Teuida is investing in next-gen interactive technologies, expanding its content pipeline for additional languages, and developing a personalized curriculum engine that adapts to each learner's pace and speaking style. With strong engagement metrics and clear differentiation in a crowded language-learning market, the company positions itself as a compelling high-growth edtech player.

As Teuida accelerates its global expansion, it's betting on one idea: anyone, anywhere, should be able to speak a new language with confidence-and the best way to get there is to start speaking from the very first lesson.
