At Drops, we are passionate about demonstrating how fluency in other languages can open up a world of opportunities for women and men alike. Women with access to language education can thrive in employment and social connections, giving them a sense of agency and autonomy. Language education allows us to articulate our thoughts, advocate for our rights, and nurture our communities.
Bringing the value of language learning that empowers women is an honor for us. The Drops team has prepared a challenge dedicated to International Women’s Day, where users can learn essential phrases and vocabulary to talk about empowerment at work.
From all of us at Drops, we wish you a happy International Women’s Day! Pass on the empowerment and learn how to say “Happy Women’s Day” in 5 languages:
In French: Bonne journée internationale des femmes!
In German: Alles Liebe zum Weltfrauentag!
In Italian: Buona festa della donna!
In Chinese: 妇女节快乐!
In Spanish: Feliz Día Internacional de la Mujer!
In Turkish: Kadınlar günü kutlu olsun!
Women’s Day is underway, and at Drops, we've been celebrating all the inspiring women in our lives! Here are some stories of the most inspiring women behind Drops, who have made both the product and the culture of the company what it is today.
Meet Bex, our Operations Specialist who makes sure that all of our teams are set up for success! Bex has taught Spanish, French, and English around the world in places like the UK, Spain, and China. After discovering the world of EdTech and Drops, a language-learning platform that supports LGBTQ+ language topics and protects endangered languages, Bex was immediately sold! Now, she says, “I am doing a job I love, for a company and product I believe in, with people that literally blow my mind every day!”
Meet Joanna, our QA (Quality Assurance) Engineer responsible for making Drops the best it can be! Joanna spent a few years living abroad to experience different cultures. Working in many jobs, from restaurant manager and ice cream maker to having her own real estate company, Joanna never really felt like she had found something she enjoyed until she learned how to code during the pandemic. After a QA internship, she realized she loved the job and soon after found Drops, where she says, “I'm able to learn so much, interact with amazing people, and be a part of a meaningful product.”
Meet Izzy, our Product Owner who delivers all of the amazing Drops experiences you love! Izzy grew up speaking two languages at home with parents who were both teachers. Naturally, she decided she wanted to be a teacher as well until she went to the UK and discovered the world of translation. Izzy worked on web localization with a fashion brand and went on to manage a team at a translation agency! Now, at Drops, Izzy dove head first into all things Agile and is enjoying it so much that she says, “I basically became a product owner without noticing.”
Meet Zita, our learning content manager who guides and creates all of the interesting topics that make learning a new language fun! Zita studied and taught Japanese and received a master's degree in Japanese studies. With an interest in more deeply exploring Japanese culture, Zita lived and worked in Japan before she found her place at Drops. She says, “I found Drops, and everything fell into place”.
"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
"Amazing app"
"I have been desperate to find an app that really helps me learn Japanese and this is the best by far"
"I like that you can switch between different subjects and topics constantly and it’s really easy to learn a lot of vocabulary very quickly! This works perfect for me because I can learn a lot of words but then practice sentence structure with my grandmother whose from Croatia"
"Fantastic app great opportunity to learn languages on your spare time. Drops makes it easy to learn and retain words to formulate sentences."
"Best of the best. Awesome app in every sense"
