Philosophy

Verbal First.   Verbal communication is where human connections happen, and the world's possibilities are realized. Software should prioritize building verbal skills.
Be Impactful.   Learners benefit most by practicing language that is relevant to them, and are able to use in real life situations.
Clarify.   After childhood, language learners benefit from having fundamental language concepts explained in context, with helpful examples.
Verbal Earth was founded by Mark Sanford, a San Francisco based software developer who has been working in the intersection of computing, language learning, and digital audio for over 20 years.
