Hi Kate. Thanks for sharing this comprehensive review on Voxy and Paul Goulart. Back in Brazil, a representative from Voxy tried to partner with the Binational Center I worked at, and the product they presented is indeed really interesting. I still remember them demonstrating how the app creates song exercises based on the list of songs you have on your phone. I specially liked your comment on the connection between success and resilience. I agree it’s an important characteristic of successful entrepreneurs for it gives them the ability to overcome adversity, learn from it, and push through to new heights.

That's neat! It seems that Brazil's Voxy's biggest single market. I've wondered if this type of learning - individualized, less formal - aligns with Brazil's educational culture. Perhaps in different countries or contexts, the idea of having a set curriculum is more attractive than being able to choose your own. It's tricky to take on the 'world' of ESL - there are so many different types of learning and reasons for learning that having a single company or approach (even if it is customizable!) might be reaching a bit too far. Teaching and exploring English Language Learning and Learners has definitely shown me that there are so many subsets of the ESL population; I believe new ventures might want to target more specific groups of learners.
