English remains one of the most dominating languages globally, with over 400 million native speakers and about 1.6 billion people worldwide who understand or speak the language. However, tons of people still struggle to speak English fluently, making it even more challenging to express themselves. Several available English learning solutions have been developed. However, most of them are not easily accessible, which is where Gio’s English aims to make a difference with the launch of their new app.
