Our History

  • 2017

    The Beginnings of Fluency

    A story that began in 2017 with an unusual international partnership between two friends—a Brazilian and a New Zealander—who literally invested everything they had in pursuit of a dream: to make language learning accessible to everyone. And so, Fluency Academy was born.

    Memhack

    A year later, one of Fluency’s major highlights was developed: Memhack, our very own spaced repetition software. A breakthrough in language memorization! An app integrated into the lessons, where you can recall everything you’ve studied in a practical way—always available right at your fingertips.

    Fluency’s Year of Growth

    In addition to the English course with Rhavi Carneiro, we welcomed two new languages to Fluency: Spanish and French. This was also the year we experienced a period of expansion, accompanied by a significant increase in the number of teachers and content production!

    The New Partnership

    A major milestone for Fluency: we’ve partnered with UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) to teach Portuguese to refugees in Brazil, helping them adapt and improve their quality of life here. That same year, one of the most significant projects in our history was launched: the Fluency TV Portal, offering completely free content, videos, and podcasts in multiple languages.

    Fluency with a New Look

    One of the major milestones in our history was the arrival of seven top-10 influencers and teachers from Brazil. Fluency is expanding to other countries: we’re bringing English instruction to Latin American nations. And to wrap up the year, we’ve added two new languages to our school: Japanese and Mandarin.

    Fluency Expands to More Countries

    Beyond Latin America, Fluency is expanding its language instruction and becoming even more global: we’ve reached regions in Europe, India, and countries in the Arab world. And we’re innovating once again when it comes to English fluency with the launch of Fluency Talks, our podcast featuring exclusive content in Portuguese and English to help you practice listening and conversation.

    Where We Stand Today

    Right now, we’re the largest language school in Latin America, offering 8 languages (English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin), and we’ve reached the milestone of over 300,000 fluent students! In total, we have over 30.4 million people on social media living the dream of learning a new language. What about you? Want to be part of this movement?

    Awari Joins the Revolution

    In April 2024, we finalized the acquisition of Awari, a platform that offers comprehensive training in a variety of fields: Design, Data, Programming, Marketing, and Product Management. This is a huge step toward revolutionizing not only language learning but also the education market.

    Fluency Academy bereikt Cosmos II

    In 2025, we hit a historic milestone: R$500 million in net revenue, making us the first edtech in the world to reach this mark inside the Hotmart ecosystem. That same year, we received the Cosmos II award at Hotmart FIRE 2025, while surpassing 400,000 students across 100+ countries. With innovations like the Memorization App, live conversation classes, and the Fluency Corporate solution, we proved that our ambition goes beyond language learning — we are now ready to compete with global giants like Duolingo.

We Are in Latin America

In addition to Brazil, Fluency Academy takes language learning to various Latin American countries, such as Colombia, Chile, Argentina, among others. Our goal is to democratize education beyond national borders.
