2048 is the new NSA.


Great landing page, although it would be handy to be able to replay the video. There is a lot happening there and I didn't catch everything at first.


Good call, I'll try to work on adding a replay button to the page—though since there's so few elements already and one more may break the balance of it. Thanks for the feedback!


There is an interesting talk by Jason Cohen about honesty in business including Canon's experiment with negative reviews: http://vimeo.com/48549019

Yes this site gets a looot of traffic.


My knowledge of English is based on 24 series of "The Simpsons" so I definitely agree with the point about watching TV.


Before I came to the U.S. in the mid 1990's I geeked out on two grocery bags' worth of VHS tapes of StarTrek Next Generation. Nothing like learning English from the forever affable Captain Picard or the eternally proper Data. I found it very helpful then.

The other piece of advice I have which I didn't see mentioned is to date a local, or several. They care about you and will help you learn. They'll also teach you idiomatic and colloquial language and correct you if you get it wrong.

Lastly: talk to young children ages four through eight or so. Unless they grow up multi-lingually, they don't have a concept of people speaking different languages and will just assume you'll understand and will be able to reply intelligently. They also don't have much experience with accents. For them it's more of a binary thing either they'll get you or they won't, they have no judgment nor enough experience to adapt to you. When learning French that was always my own personal test of how intelligible my speaking was in the foreign language.


Well done! Plus, it is great to see an old Nokia instead of another iPhone on the hero shot. It is really intriguing in combination with this slick, modern design of yours.


How about Fastspring/Saasy?


I don't know what it is but the landing page looks great
