Studycat’s journey
Way back in 2000, a simple bedroom became the birthplace of a dream that would reach across the globe. A language teacher, an artist, and a game designer — each with a spark of creativity and a shared vision—came together to redefine the journey of language learning. Armed with just a pen, a sketchpad, a scanner, and a computer, they set out to transform language education from a boring, mundane task into an exhilarating adventure. This small but mighty team laid the foundations of what would become Studycat, a name now synonymous around the world with fun, interactive learning.
Fast forward to today, and their vision has touched the lives of millions. With 15 million app store downloads, 70 million YouTube views, and a presence in homes and schools across 125 countries, Studycat stands as a testament to the power of passion and innovation in education. Their humble dream, now a vibrant reality, proves that learning languages can truly be a fantastic adventure of fun and discovery for children all over the world!
