Learning other languages

Hi shakuntalas,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your idea with us and for your kind and inspiring feedback!

As we grow and expand, we continue to add new content to offer a better education on Khan Academy. However, adding language courses is not a part of our roadmap at this time.

While we wish we could implement all of our users' requests, we need to make difficult decisions about which features and requests are aligned with our goals at the time.

As our needs and resources change, it’s possible that we may be able to revisit this issue at a later date, but I can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to do so, or provide a timeline for when that might happen.

I know that this probably isn’t the response you were looking for, but I hope you understand where we’re coming from. For an explanation of Khan Academy's Content Principles, please check out this article.

We really appreciate your enthusiasm for Khan Academy, as well as your sharing your feedback with us.

Thanks again,

Alex

Hi S!

Thank you so much for writing to us about your desire to contribute with Khan Academy! We’re also excited to hear about your idea and we’re happy you suggested it.

Fortunately, we have a team that specializes in this area, so content inquiries such as this one should be sent to their email address: partnerships@khanacademy.org.

Please note is that we have a very small team, so it may take a while for them to get back to you, but they will review the information as soon as they are able to and they will be in touch if this is something that Khan Academy can move forward with.

Thank you for helping us improve Khan Academy!

If there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know.

Warmest regards,

Alex

Alex,

I will follow up with them.

Best,

I'm the sort of bilingual parent of a child I'm trying to get to become bi-/trilingual. I'm improving my Spanish with Duolingual, but as my kindergartener is learning to read most apps aren't helpful for teaching a 2nd language without knowing to read in a primary language. I know apps exists, but they're hit & miss and paying for an app just to find your kid loses interest after a couple of weeks can get to be really costly. Most of my friends who immigrated to the US learned multiple languages in school as early as 5y/o. Most schools in the US require a 2nd language by the end of high-school. So I think it would be really good to create lessons for kids to learn additional languages.
