In this week's podcast, we talk to Mark Kaufmann, the CEO of LingQ, a comprehensive language learning platform. Mark is also the son of the well-known polyglot Steve Kaufmann, who has his own Youtube Channel focused around language learning. Steve and Mark co-founded LingQ nearly 15 years ago, and has since then been operating as one of the biggest immersion/context based immersion learning platforms. We talk to Mark about his background growing up in Japan, becoming a professional hockey player in Japan, as well as his experience co-founding a high-tech startup focused on language learning.
