Truer words have never been said. In this special episode of the Refold Podcast, Clayton is joined by Lingopie's CEO, David! David is a long time language learner who struggled to learn Hebrew with traditional methods. However, all that changed when he started watching TV with matching subtitles! According to him, once things started clicking, it was like magic!



Determined to share the magic with the rest of the world, David co-founded Lingopie, what he describes as the "Netflix of Language Learning." Tune in to listen to Clayton and David discuss the history of Lingopie and what it's like learning languages with immersion!
