I'm fortunate to have personally met many of our competitors and truly cherish my relationship with each. The minute any of us are taking away another's market share is the minute that we can celebrate such success together - seriously. 

The $80B+ language learning market is so fragmented and bound for disruption by one/many of us - Rosetta Stone's market cap is only $210M. In this post we hope to help out incumbants into our market by outlining the competitive landscape most relevant to us. 

Presenting PlaySay's Language Learning Guide
