This year, we’ve finally achieved our goal of adding pride culture and celebration courses to our language learning app.
Take a peek at the words and phrases in our four new pride courses or start a Drops session to make them a part of your language learning.
We’re always working to be inclusive and full of Pride from the inside out. What follows are some of the ways we talk the pride talk and walk the pride walk at Drops language learning.
During each and every interview, our Head of Team Team (the Drops equivalent to HR, because corporate titles are so not our thing) makes sure each candidate knows that Drops is a very vibrant and accepting workplace. We prioritize psychological well-being regardless of how our coworkers identify, (offering therapeutic services to those who are interested) and welcome every person as they are. Naturally, people that join our team share these values and want to help us drive inclusivity forward.

How languages are learned matters. We’re lucky enough to have a multicultural, highly educated group of queer individuals helping us achieve representation and inclusivity in our language app and among our team.
Our language learning topics are relatable and usable because they’re made by multilingual people that know about the daily needs and struggles of learning a new language. Like everything that goes into the Drops language learning app, our new pride courses were the passion project of one person: our Head of Content. With her guidance, the rest of the team rallied to introduce pride keywords into our vocabulary games.
As we developed in-app language courses for how to talk about LGBTQ+ culture for our users, we realized we had to teach this internally too. Together with the queer individuals at Drops that wanted to participate, we’ve developed an employee workshop that’s both educational and confessional, providing a safe space for employees that want to learn and those that want to share their personal experiences.
The 2022 Pride Launch is just the beginning. We hope to develop our Beers with Queers Workshop and bring it to our parent company, Kahoot! so a greater group of people can learn about and celebrate LGBTQ+ experiences.
We’ll continue learning in order to develop our pride language courses further, and keep pride in our minds and hearts beyond parade season.
"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
"Amazing app"
"I have been desperate to find an app that really helps me learn Japanese and this is the best by far"
