We don't need to say that we're big believers in the potential of the internet to change the way people learn languages.  That's why we get excited when we see news coverage of our space.  Recently, a language learning startup received funding and this news was covered in Techcrunch and Techcrunch Japan -- and italki got mentioned as one of the startups also in this space.

      

Mainstream newspapers are also catching on around the world.  Link in Sao Paolo Brazil actually did a comparison of the major language learning websites, and italki was featured as one of its favorites. 

We're certainly believers in the potential of the internet to make education available to all, and this type of coverage is great -- it shows that people outside of the language learning startup world are catching on.
