Our Story

It started in 2006 with a simple belief: every learner deserves access to the best language education tools available. What began as a partnership with international publishers quickly grew into something bigger - a company that doesn't just distribute learning materials but creates them.

Over the years, we developed custom curricula, built digital platforms, and worked closely with schools and universities across Turkey. We saw firsthand what works in language learning and what doesn't. The biggest gap? Speaking practice.

Students could read, write, and listen - but when it came to actually speaking, there was no scalable solution. That's why we built Speqra: an AI-powered platform that gives every learner a patient, intelligent conversation partner available anytime, anywhere.
