As Earth Day approaches, Drops is proud to share that we have become a carbon compensated language learning app, taking a significant step towards reducing our carbon footprint; from app development and size, all the way to the users using the app. We have taken steps to become a carbon compensated language learning app with the help of ClimatePartner, a leading organization that supports businesses throughout their climate action journeys.Our partnership with ClimatePartner will offset all carbon emissions by contributing to multiple UN Sustainable Development goals, such as: affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth and climate action. Discover more about the project here.
Now you can learn English, French, Spanish, and 47+ other languages wherever you are, without affecting your carbon footprint.
Carbon compensation, also known as carbon offsetting, is a process where companies invest in supporting projects that reduce carbon emissions or remove carbon from the atmosphere. This helps to offset the carbon emissions that the company produces through its operations.
Drops has partnered with ClimatePartner to invest in the emPOWERing project, an initiative which provides sustainable wind and solar energy supply to Madagascar, Namibia, Egypt, and South Africa. By supporting projects that contribute to climate protection, we are offsetting the carbon produced by our operations. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, Drops is compensating 82 tons of CO2eq.
You can join in on the climate action in one of our many Climate Awareness topics. Expand your knowledge about environmental challenges and how we can all make a positive impact through sustainable actions in 49+ languages.
At Language Drops, we’re committed to improving lives through language learning. That’s why we developed a course on climate awareness that teaches key vocabulary about environmental issues to help our learners become more conscious global citizens in a new language.
"We are proud to be starting our climate action journey by measuring the impact of Drops and supporting climate protection projects. This is just a part of the bigger challenge of continuously optimizing our products for lower impact."
– Drops GM & CPO, Frederik Cordes
Language Drops recognizes that it still has a long way to go in terms of reducing its impact on the environment. However, by becoming carbon compensated and investing in sustainable projects, Language Drops hopes to inspire other companies and language learners to follow its lead and take action to protect the environment.

"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"
