LinguaStep is an online language learning platform that works in conjunction with existing language textbooks.

Meet the developer, Loren Siebert, and hear how an eight-week summer program in Arabic motivated him to develop this innovative language program, first for his Mac and then as an online application. Only one year after that beginning course, Loren became an instructor in Arabic and continued to develop the concepts and coding behind LinguaStep.

Loren, a Marshall Scholar turned entrepreneur, will describe the experience of launching his new online service, for which he has reportedly closed deals with about 30 universities, including Stanford and UC Berkeley.
