Our courses are developed to give community members the tools to reclaim their current, living language so it can be passed down from generation to generation.
We work closely with each community to co-design every aspect of the course - from customized syllabic keyboards to artwork and graphics. As a result, each community retains full ownership over the courses we create together.
Community members lead the design of each course from start to finish using speakers and educators from their community. The result? A simple to use platform that enables students to learn directly from the speakers themselves, while preserving languages that would otherwise be at risk of extinction.
Our Community Care team works with, and alongside, you from the very start of your journey. They help provide the tools you need to capture audio content, co-design courses, troubleshoot issues and even fill out grant applications so you can get funding for your language project.
We know how important and powerful it is to learn from the speakers themselves. So we’ve created a simple and effective process to help our creators record their content remotely, which we turn into interactive modules that get learners hearing and speaking the language as its intended.

Incorporates audio recordings, interactive activities and games, written content and visual cues to align with various learning styles.
We know it’s important that learners hear the language as it's spoken in the community. So we have set up our platform with avatars that are capable of speech to represent the likeness of the speakers, to create engaging and authentic ways of connecting language, community and culture.
Whether you’re looking for more information on how we can provide the tools to help you revitalize your language or you just want to learn more, we want to hear from you.

Language Foundry is grateful to be creating tools that support language revitalization, while living on traditional territories that have existed for millennia. Though our team works across many lands and territories, our head office is located on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən People (Songhees Nation).
