Nice work Cambly! The app is very simple and well designed. Plus, I love your logo.

Immersion is clearly the way to go when learning a new language. I learned more French trying to haggle with the waiter for more ice in Biarritz, than I ever did in Madame Lefebvre’s class.

I like that Cambly pairs me with a friendly native speaker rather than a professional teacher. And, I’m a big fan of the on-demand marketplace idea.

Questions for Cambly:

1) Users are required to download a separate app for each language. As you add more languages a user may be learning French and Spanish simultaneously. Are there plans to merge everything into one app so that I can toggle between two different languages?

2) Do you find that users are selecting tutors based on attractiveness?
