FabuLingua is a gamified language-learning app that teaches children Spanish through interactive stories and games. The product uses an "invisible learning" approach: text appears in Spanish but is read aloud in English, with English helpers phased out as the child progresses. Users unlock new functions and stories as they advance; the service is offered via a monthly subscription and is available on Android and iOS. The company reports more than 80,000 downloads, 15,000 registered users, and over 1,000 families paying for the subscription. FabuLingua was founded by Leslie and Mark Bergert, with Mark serving as CEO and Leslie directing product and linguistic strategy based on her academic background. The company is based in Austin, Texas, and recently won TechCrunch's City Spotlight: Austin pitch-off, earning free exhibition space at TechCrunch Disrupt. FabuLingua has previously raised $1.3 million in pre-seed rounds and is currently raising additional capital via an active Wefunder campaign.
