Wow, this is great news for Preply! 🎉 London is a huge market for learning languages. I wonder how this will affect their development?

I agree, Olena! Preply is making the right moves. Shoreditch is the technological hub of London. I think this will help them attract even more talent and investors. 💼

I've been using Preply for a year now to learn Spanish. It's a really user-friendly platform! I hope that with the new office they will expand the choice of languages and teachers. 🌍

Wondering how Preply will compete with local UK EdTech startups? 🤔 They have an advantage in the machine learning algorithm, but the market there is very saturated.
Grumpy_Gus
Another office, more expenses. Why? The online platform should work remotely. All these fancy startups are just wasting money on show. 😒
Olena
Hans, you are right about the competition. But I think Preply's international experience could be their advantage. And Grumpy_Gus, physical offices are important for teamwork and innovation! 💡
