Description: This is a language learning program ((URL removed)) that is nearing its last stage of development, has not sold a single unit, but has uncovered an overhwelming market demand to the point where several purchase offers are already on the table. What sets Echo Learn apart from the competition is that the developers are comprised of the individuals who teach other teachers how to teach languages. Although the program can teach english, japanese (romanji and kanji), cantonese, vietnamese, thai, spanish, and mandarin via any of the aforementioned languages, a text email was sent out to various phones within China. The result was an overhwelming demand to teach english. The company is currently in its first round of funding and has secured 1.5 million US dollars (with projected return of 15 million within five years) thus far and is looking for more first round investors. By its third round of funding Echo Learn expects to be purchased by a company in Asia. Patents are pending for a one-touch button thatfascilitates learning and can be used on any audio player.
