Who we are

Parents, educators, English learners, and writers started LearnThat Foundation in 2004. We were united by endless hours spent practicing vocabulary and spelling, either by ourselves or with our children, often with disheartening results.

Since we couldn't find an effective solution, we set out to create it. 

Our manifesto

1    

We build literacy, one word at a time, 
through free tutoring and rich online resources.
We empower people to develop the skills
 they need to pursue their goals with confidence.  

2    

Low verbal skills are the invisible cause
of many pressing problems. 
By enriching minds we change lives.

3    

We design and optimize tutoring sessions 
for each member's personal needs.

4    

Our Open Dictionary of English (ODE) is an infinite,
living resource that grows every day. ODE is free forever.

5    

The ODE celebrates English as a global language,
and cherishes its nuances and flavors. 

6   

We refine our program each and every day,
with humble awareness that we will never be "finished." 

7    

Our vision and ambition is inspired by the human brain
and its infinitely creative and resourceful ways.

8    

Our members' input and scientific research are
our main sources of wisdom and drive our program.
